Hello, Republicans … are you there?
By Robert Ringer - Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Is any Republican presidential candidate capable of removing Republican rivals from his crosshairs long enough to focus on Barack Obama’s lies, distortions, and hypocrisies? Don’t any of them think it’s noteworthy to point out that Obama, who excoriates Wall Street bankers seven days a week, is the biggest recipient of Wall Street contributions of any president in U.S. history?
Or how about Obama’s ripping Republicans for “stopping his jobs bill” in the Senate, even though the Senate is controlled by Democrats? Are they really going to let something so outrageous slide and assume that sleepwalking Americans know the truth?
Hello, Republicans … are you there? Going after Barack Obama is like shooting fish in a barrel. He’s like a walking ammunition store. It’s one thing that the media didn’t bother to vet him when he was running for president in 2008, but why in the world do Republicans still refuse to hammer home a plethora of lies, distortions, and hypocrisies?
When his taxpayer-funded bus tour stopped in Asheville, North Carolina on Sunday, Obama, sounding more like former Democratic Congressman and maniac Alan Grayson than the great uniter he was billed to be, shouted that the Republican jobs plan — “Real American Jobs Act” — “boils down to a few basic ideas: They want to gut regulations. They want to let Wall Street do whatever it wants. They want to drill more. And they want to repeal healthcare reform.”
Voters are still looking for the Republican candidate who has the courage to step front and center and say: “Yes, we want to gut regulations. No, we don’t want to let Wall Street do whatever it wants. Yes, we want to drill more. And, yes, we want to repeal Obamacare.”
Let’s hope he emerges in tonight’s debate.

We need to quit waiting for Republicans and ask Ron Paul to save us! I think Ron Paul needs to switch parties as there’s no way he’s going to get the nominee as a Republican.
Anyone else agree?

Good luck Everyone

Never let a good opportunity to fight populism with populism go to waste…
The Republicans have made Obama appear “moderate” and “conservative” to his supporters. Now they hope to run a candidate such as Rombama who will Liberal-… without the Lite at the end. Their end game will convince the public there are “ultraconservatives” who coddle the “rich” (I.e. Liberals) and “conservatives” who support the “middle.” (I.E. Far-Left Liberals).
The Republican establishment needs to be defeated as utterly as possible.
Rather than ask where are the Republicans… we should ask how can conservatives infiltrate, control, and dominate the Republicans. Or, in the alternative, destroy the Republican party.
Bad as the Dem’s are… if they had no Republicans they would go off the rails completely and likely self-destruct.
Right now, this is bad for the economy, but we are no where near facing Gulags. The signs are on the wall though, and if we cannot turn the Titanic around we will be facing a disaster worse than a Depression. (Heck, most of my neighbors are in a Depression…)
I am fond of saying perfection is the enemy of good enough, but we need conservatives in as many offices as we can get.
OT: Where is RS? Hello out there!
< I am fond of saying perfection is the enemy of good enough, but we need conservatives in as many offices as we can get.
you are fond of eternal scrimmage, then,as opposed to solution.
or maybe eternal scrabble.
"conservatives"? triple word score, you believe. well, dredge up every single one, include even the nominals, from inception (the mythical "founding", secular genesis story…), line up all those tiles, and then explain the state of your board, your lowly losing score.
in the real, non-subsidized world, with it's normal incentives and it's normal consequences for failure, conservative, inc, like the post office (etc ad infinitum), would have gone bankrupt – and away – long ago.
"we" need conservatives? you "need" a mirror, mirror on the wall…a world in your frozen, mental, projected image.
that's "good enough", for you. well, that, plus, forcing others to subsidize, pay for your "needs". like israel, remember?
conservative cake eating, and having, too…blind-spotting internal contradictions…….
WHY “hammer home a plethora of lies, distortions, and hypocrisies” WHEN YOU KNOW, IN YOUR “TOUR OF DUTY” WITH THE SAME “BOSSES”, YOU’LL BE USING THEM YOURSELF?!?
Without a Ron Paul election, the ONLY POTENTIAL CHANGE in the White House shall be the skin-tone of the Oval Office occupant!!!
Robert, you seem to favor the republicans even through they are much worse than the democrats. So for now, let’s call you a republican. So why haven’t you ran for a public office and that way you could be a potential candidate speaking the truth? I know why, you’re not about to dive into that sewer called politics. It would corrupt and change you but you would not be able to change a thing about the system.
You expect people inside to change the system. Sarah Palin. Looks like she has the good sense to get out while the getting is good and not get corrupted. Herman Cain. While you like him because he “SEEMS” honest, let me tell you, he is as corrupt as they come. Ron Paul you don’t think stands a chance but he isn’t corrupt.
Like FDR, Obama is a socialist, a would-be dictator, and worse. He will not suspend voting but I suspect he will find a way to overturn the amendment allowing him to serve only two terms and my guess is ending up serving four or more terms like FDR. You hope Obama doesn’t get reelected. I’m betting he will. Maybe you can write an essay what will happen when he does.
There are plenty of good CONSERVATIVE, small government, low tax, secure borders, balanced budget, America loving Citizen Statesmen. The supply of good people is not the problem. The problem is the lack of anyone in the modern Republican Party who will give them the time of day.
I am a Conservative and I know many Conservative people who would make wonderful representatives of the American people. The common fault of all of them is that they refuse to play political games. The refuse to give up their principles in order to have the left love them…
We need to quit supporting the RNC until the RNC decides to start supporting candidates who can actually spell conservative!
It’s time to let the GOP know that only a TRUE CONSERVATIVE need get the nomination. We had the RINO in ’08, and look how ‘that’ worked out for us!
