And Republicans are doing some introspection, releasing a report of what went wrong in 2012. But the report is mostly about packaging and not policies, NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro point out.

Personally, I have no problem with the delusional drones on the right wandering around in the political wilderness for the next 50 or so years!
No amount of "packaging" in the world could of made "wooden" Willard more palatable to ordinary Americans...
You can put all the mustard you want on a crap sandwich, it still tastes like a crap sandwhich!
I watched some of CPAC on Saturday.......Laugh a minute as each speaker tried to out crazy each other!
Yeah Chilled, I get the same reaction watching the nightly MSNBC "anchors".
They're a laugh a minute.
Gonna miss Big Eddie, though. I was sure his head was going to explode on live TeeVee.
The word "stupid" seems to be synonymous with the RepubliTea Party of today. It just seems to be the one word that continually describes them. After watching a couple minutes here and there of the CPAC clown show I would say that stupid is the perfect word, especially when it comes to Sarah Palin. What a joke she is.
Wow WCA....you watch nightly?....
Heck, CPAC is only once a year.....I'm being cheated out of laughs!
Big Eddie will be on Saturday/Sunday afternoon beginning in April.....enjoy.
Tis rather funny that old Reince Priebus was sent up the mount, only to come back with a new list of repackaged ideology on tablets made of new and improved plastic.
1) Thou shalt not kill lest you are standing your ground - and then by God, do it with Glee.
yadda, yadda, yadda!!!
WCA . . .
Well, everyone's entitled to their opinions but at least the MSNBC anchors don't live under rocks and actually have jobs. What exactly is Palin's "job?" besides trying to make people like her more than the Tina Fey version of her?
Layton, the fact that she still gets under your skin, hence your comment, shows that she is accomplishing exactly what she wants to accomplish.
Hell, a simple thread this weekend about Palin brought out over 2000 comments. Mostly LWNJ's.
This site is nothing if not predictable and hilarious.
Or unless your motto is ....No fetus shall bet us.
Just think of Tayvon as getting a late, late, late term abortion and you should be cool with it.
shows that she is accomplishing exactly what she wants to accomplish.
Somehow, I don't think Sista Sarah's accomplishment of showing what a snarky little bitch she really is does any favors for the Republican party. Many in the leadership discount her as having no value to the party. Oh, sure she can jazz up a small faction of the party.......the extreme right wingers, but nobody takes her at all seriously. She is nothing but a poser whose time is up. Hell, Fox doesn't even want her anymore.
I purposely avoided all of CPAC in an attempt to evade the concentrated beam of stupid that was directed at the 'Merkins... You never know what new brand of stupid they're going to attempt to slap on the forehead of the Borg and I, for one, will simply NOT be assimilated.
My attempt to completely avoid the voice of Sarah Palin was nearly foiled when all the dogs in the neighborhood began to bark simultaneously... Luckily I figured out what was up without using my remote control and avoided exposure handily due to my pre-planning... I guess I'm a "prepper" now.
Chilled,
Funny thing is, I remember the right wing nitwits bragging about how if they ran a ham sandwich against President Obama, it would win resoundingly...
Yet, they went ahead and chose the turd sandwich anyway! LMAO!
They should of stuck with the "ham"!
What is amusing is the claim by WCA that he could spend more than 3 minutes watching any of the programming on MSNBC, without having to turn away, and if not, still not recognize that he was getting more objective facts handed to him in one hour on MSNBC than in ten hours of FOX"NEWS" programming.
No she doesn't get under our skin. it's the mind blowing fact that conservative listen to her at all.
And this fact, speaks volume about your party. wca
I really don't give a hoot about Sarah Palin. One thing is certain, she is no one to fear and she sure as heck doesn't get under my skin--that would be a waste of time. If the right wants to embrace the half governor who couldn't be bothered to finish her term in office, who is using them for her own personal gain--go for it GOPTPers, you can have her.
My opinion of Palin is, and always has been, that she's shallow and incurious; incapable of complex thinking and cannot put five words together in a sentence that makes sense--unless someone else writes it for her. Palin is a female version of George W. Bush; oddly, they both say nukular.
Heck - maybe they should have stuck with the corn dog princess - Bachmann, or the godfather of pizza.
Ah, how refreshing, Morgs once again trying to convince us a molecule, no an atom, no make that sperm, no an egg, oops, a zygote is a child argument.
RedDevPS
Not at all. I am pro-chioce, I am just once again pointing out how loving the left is through their hypocrisy. Keep telling everyone how killing criminals, attackers, defenseless animals and terrorists is completely wrong and unforgivable while at the same time as you demolish the littlest, most undefended, people we have without even thinking twice.
Then tell us why it is necessary for all American's to be carded while purchasing guns and why it is unnecessary to card all those while voting.
I can do this all day to you clowns.
BTW, look up what the scientific definition of life is...tell me where an organism that can replicate cells fits in. Little more complicated than trees you huggers also defend with more enthusiasm.
Because too many people vote with their guns when there isn't an election?
Strange, I was carded when I registered to vote...
Why should I have to be carded twice to vote and only once to purchase an instrument of mass destruction?
Must be just me, I guess...
I hear that. Illinois is a prime example. Keeping people poor is like holding a gun to their heads when it comes to voting.
So, now that you have been carded for your registration, how come you shouldn't be carded with each subsequent election? Also, if you are ok with being carded at registration, why not be ok with being carded when you toss in your ballet? Considering election officials cannot be trusted to do their job, at least in MN where we have a senile old lady brought up on charges of voting fraud because she voted twice, by accident, in which the official should have caught but didn't. Even by mistake fraud happens. ID's can help eliminate this, if implemented correctly.
I forgot about that one Feisty......
As the Newt would say, that was a lot of "pious baloney" They refused to accurately read the tea leaves that were right in front of them.
more libtard ignorance...really, every time i purchase a gun i have to provide ID and fill out a form. I buy one day and in the same day go else where to buy a gun and guess what...Wash rinse repeat...Why oh WHy Fisty do you insist on Peddling Lies...because this is First Read and YOUR backyard? You have a Low Info Cult Following? I see you have Layton, Chilled, Mooseknuckle girl, Chrissy SLC and RedDevPOS in tow. Show me in the Constitution your Right to Vote and I'll show you mine the right to BEAR ARMS...
im not even sure what that is suppose to mean
Why is it the republicans so strongly advocate for the unborn, try to paint themselves as caring about the voiceless unborn yet have no qualms in starving them once they become a living, breathing baby.
My view of the GOP's hypocritical pro-life stance is multi-layered. 1) They do not know the circumstances of the woman or girl who choses an abortion yet they condemn her; 2) they are against the ACA's requiring that contraception be provided by employer health care plans to those who want it (to avoid unwanted pregnancies which means fewer abortions); 3) they prefer their 2nd amendment rights to own military-style weapons of mass destruction over the lives of innocent people murdered every day with guns---conservatives discount those lives as unimportant compared to that of the unborn; 4) they place the life of an unborn child at greater value than that of the mother; 4) their attitude is once born, the child is not their responsibility--whether it has enough to eat, a chance for education, or a place to live is of no concern to the right--the child is on its own.
I was carded when I got my driver's license and every time I exercise that right to drive, I must produce it when asked. Why not with a voter registration identification, proving who you are. I mean, when I buy a gun, I must produce a license, at least when I'm dealing with a federal licensed gun dealer.
It is called pitting ourselves against each other. Jody, as you point out, the right is just as guilty. They are legislating with religion which is terrible in its own right. Each think they have the moral high ground which leads them to believe they are correct and thus everyone else is wrong. The people who tow these lines are extremists.
Not a right, a privilege.
@ Jody.....Their alleged pro-life stance is false on every level and they fail to admit that there is a disconnect between their stance and especially any voting record!
Easy for them to yell about protecting the unborn....but they find it impossible to support the born!
They are Pro-Birth not Pro-Life!
CPAC: is it Crazy People Acting Crazy, Crappy Politicians Acting Crazy, Crappy Policy Among Conservatives, or Come Play Along Children, what does it stand for?
Article 1 of the US Constitution covers who it is that VOTES for our elected leaders "by the people of the several States". Various amendments were added to allow election of Senators "by the people of the several States", and to define who "the people of the several states" incompassed, i.e., women and minorities were considered equal to white men giving them the same power to vote.
Personally, I consider my RIGHT TO VOTE in this democracy of far greater value and importance than my right to own a gun.
Do you consider yourself pro-choice because you are a Dem? Do I get to choose to buy an assault rifle? Do I get to choose whether or not I hire the more qualified candidate or a person of color? Do I get to choose whether or not I want health insurance?
This don't make you pro-choice, this makes you pro-my choice.
I don't want to starve any young child. I do like my parents did before me, I take responsibility for my children and ensure they have enough to eat, clothes on their backs, a roof over their head and an opportunity to get an education.
It's call parenting, something we seem to have neglected as adults in today's society.
how bout the parents support the born...I wonder Chilled how many you are supporting? Wonder how much for your fellow man you have done...Sure advocating on FR that someone else should do it is a fine example of leadership...
again the States have the right to decide who votes..You may think this is the case Jody but you are flat our WRONG...this is what is wrong with the LEFT on so many multilayered levels.
However my right to BEAR ARMS is explicitly stated as my right to Due Process and religion and speech and peaceful assembly etc...again you would be wrong but it wouldnt be a first. In your world Jody, Animal Farm style of Governing is exceptable, in America it currently is not
ALL rights under the constitution should be honored, not the ones we agree with.
So do the criminals....so do the criminals. In both the government and the street.
Ha WCA be serious, Palin is a joke to the majority of the electorate and that includes many republicans, she is fodder for humor for most of us, the skin she gets under is republicans like Karl Rove who wish to win elections. She is more of a rock in the shoe of the republican party than anything else, she destroyed McCains campaign, but that was his own choice, she does not swing a single vote to republicans that they would not have already gotten, she costs the republican party credibility and votes every time she opens her mouth. Truth is WCA it is a big political mistake for the republican party to let her continue to represent them in any fashion.
CA aka Spanky?........Lot's of questions.....:=(
chilled
i thought morgs was spanky? am i morgs too? SO many questions and no answers from the left..but hey CHilled, you have the attack and deflect down PAT
Bottom line is the constitution gives you all kinds of rights, most of which are regulated in some fashion, don't confuse the regulation of your rights with the denial of your rights CA, (and many others), it is a damn silly argument to try and make.
Paranoia runs deep.
Wait until they vote in the ability to run background checks on everyone. I will be doxxing people left and right. We will see who the re-reggers are then. LOL.
WCA . . .
She doesn't get under my skin or bother me at all. I prefer the Tina Fey and Julianne Moore versions. MUCH more relevant. The fact that the GOP think she has anything worthy to say is simply hysterical and speaks volumes about the party.
When I vote, I must provide my name and address; I see the same people manning the polling place every election. They know I belong there, they know I have voted before. The odds are slim to none that someone will bother to find out my name, address and polling place, and attempt to vote in my place. People don't steal others identities to vote, they steal them to buy stuff or drain one's bank account.
Voter ID is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist--there is no mass voter fraud except in the minds of the right which seems to thrive on fictious conspiracy theories. Having an ID will not prevent people from voting who shouldn't. Few cases of actual voter fraud are prosecuted; most of the time, the cases are dismissed because it is a matter of individuals not understanding they cannot legally vote.
Does this mean my transition is complete, I've become a TeaPeople?....From sane to insane....From progressive to regressive.
I gotta' get help!
Same here, along with my signature...
If the signature don't match the poll worker then asked for a valid ID.
BINGO!!!
sorry Forrest, the Brady law (James Brady, Hinkley thing) turned from being shot by a .22 revolver to a gun grab AWB...these 'regulations' will never stop until you justify that my right to bear arms is limited to a spork...after all, its an 'arm' by definition. Its only silly since you can't support your argument other than telling me im wrong without proof. So i have complete rights to bear arms, even a tank..your right free speech is even limited
Jody maybe you can show me how hard it is to detect voter fraud?
keep that deflecting chilled.. if you were a 'teabagger' you'd take some responsibiliy...until then you'll be 'progressive' and a teabaggee (receiving end).
Where in the Constitution does it say citizens have a right to own military-style weapons? We can't own cannons, grenades, dynamite, machine guns or bombs? There is a difference between the "right to bear arms" and the right to bear an arsenal of weaponry intended for war.
Amazing how the "2nd amendment" are perfectly content to surrender their can of soda or bottle of water, and remove their shoes at the airport but cannot grasp that the right to own a gun for personal protection, hunting or sport does not guarantee the right to own every kind of military-style weapon conceivable. Even Justice Scalia made that clear in his Heller decision.
try reading the Bill of Rights...it makes no distinction. and actually the intent was to in case of tyranny with in or insurrection/invasion... Perhaps some of the Founding fathers or the Federalist Papers will help....
'Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb disputing the vote'
“No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep
and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.”
Like I said Jody, your ideal form of Government might be from Orwell's Animal Farm but this is the United States.
I have heard this so many times. Yes, percentage wise it statistically doesn't exist. Like .0001% or something. But by using this same logic, shooting massacres are even statistically less likely. 10 people over 15 years. 10 / 313,000,000= .000000003%.
Now tell the parents of the 20 kids that their plight statistically doesn't exist so they shouldn't worry about it any longer.
Jody, you clearly have no idea who you are fighting. The same people who are barking about the 2nd amendment are indeed barking about people limiting their other rights like the ability to even buy a 20 oz. soda or load more than 7 rounds into a gun.
You are right, the 2nd amendment doesn't let me keep an instrument of war, but it also doesn't let you label what you consider a weapon of war. A .223 AR-15 is not an instrument of war. It's fully automatic cousin is. Do they look the same? Yes. Do the act the same? No. Do they do the same damage? No. Do they produce the same fear? Absolutely. Fear is what this is all about.
Well like I said CA it is a damn silly argument to make and you just made the argument for me, the constitution gives us rights, and those rights are regulated. You have the right to free speech, but you cannot use them to slander, you have the right to freedom of religion but not if it involves human sacrifice, you have the right to vote but only where you are registered. The constitution is not a static document, it has of course been amended and some amendments have been repealed. The right to bears arms as with all your rights can be regulated through a duly elected government and the constitution itself can be amended as well, the constitution provides for that now doesn't it. Limiting what weapons can be privately owned does not deny you your 2nd amendment rights it simply regulates them as most of all your other rights are regulated to some degree. Like I said the equating of the regulation and limits of your rights with the flat out denial of your rights is a damn silly argument to try and make.
actually the M4 carbine(US military) and the AR-15(civilian) shoot 5.56Nato/.223 and the ballistics are the same (assuming same barrel lenght and twist). The second amendment does provide for war...i mean how many examples from the Constitutional Framers do i need to site. They didnt just through that in bill of rights for shlts and grins. It was foresight that one day liberals would come about and try to pry from the jaws of liberty, freedom. Under the guise of security, or government wouldnt take over (shlt go read a history book, thousands of examples of that), or but but but. The United States was founded on Treason and illegal use of fire arms against the crown. Interesting how quickly we forget our recent history.
Forrest, it's silly to you because you want to pick and choose which part of the Constitution fits your sides agenda...Just like Jody said, my 'none explicit right to vote trumps your right to bear arms.' This is the Liberal Agenda and will always be under a false banner. Sorry Forrest, your part of the kids clubhouse, i have no time for your opinion on the matter. Same jerks that had to attempt to get people banned from here... How do you lefties put it? Wrong side of history, just like this weapons ban will be...not gonna happen
True. Rate of fire. Should have elaborated. fully auto vs. semi.
Sarah is just posturing for a place on the next Dancing With the Stars. She can't dance any better than her daughter, but she can still think she's a star when she's in front of the CPAC crowd.
Her 15 minutes of fame was up two years ago. Somebody should douse the old witch with a bucket of water so that White Collar Auto and her other flying CPAC monkeys can start evolving into useful citizens. Don't look at that man behind the curtain...he's a fraud and a snake oil salesman...Oh! wait, it's Mitt Romney.
well then, machine guns and auto are used for suprressing fire...hardly for accuracy...
"Sorry Forrest, your part of the kids clubhouse, i have no time for your opinion on the matter."
Ha well you pick up your toys and go home Caesar, don't blame me because you cannot make your point, why don't you reach back in history and cite prohibition where we amended the constitution to outlaw alcohol and then repealed that amendment, or many of the other examples where by the constitution we are able to regulate and limit, or change the very rights the constitution provides. It has nothing to do with my opinion or my picking what part of the constitution I like. It is you in fact who is doing what you accuse me of, you want to cite the bill of rights as trumping the constitution, it does not, it never has, if it did we would never have had slavery as a legal institution. The constitution is dynamic, and the legislative branch and the judicial branch of government has the authority and power to interpret, regulate, and set limitations to the very rights the constitution grants, or flat out change the constitution. You should know that from your history books, so why get all pissy with me because you failed to make an argument that I told you was damn silly to try and make.
Wow! Gone for 4 days and come back to the same idiots from the right showing how totally bereft of any logical thought they are.
However, Morgs74 post 1.8 has sunk to a new low for her/him. When you don't understand the difference between a fetus and a child, you show your total lack of any semblance of intelligence. But, the Trayvon comment proves you to be just another gutter rat who managed to find a keyboard. You are the epitome of filth.
Guys I see Sarah Palin again showed the Republicans for the mental midgets they are. However, she does provide comic relief.
Was on the post about Hillary and wasn't surprised that the little righties had to attack her looks. Let's see - she DIDN'T have implants, as Palin did; hasn't had a facelift as Romney appears to have had; and will be just 3 years older than Romney was this year when she runs in 2016 and younger than Reagan when he ran for his 1st term - he was almost 70. But hey, don't let facts deter your dumb hatred little righties - you could never handle facts and clearly still can't.
Disgustas, your form of government might be fascism, but that isn't the United States. You actually think you could end tyranny with a pea shooter? More like overthrow the elected government and install fascism, but others have learned the hard way. Your insanity isn't shared by the rest of America, just a small minority.
Thank you Chilled and Feisty, you both made my Day with your Comments. 50 years or so in the Wilderness for the GOP/TEA would certainly help the Country Big Time.
Reince Preibus, can talk about change all they want. They Continue to Show Speaker after Speaker at their Conventions, that they DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE A THING ABOUT THE GOP/TEA.
As a Matter of Fact, most Double Down on CRAZY. This is how you get to speak at REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS AND CONFERENCES:
o You are OBLIGATED to say something, anything DEROGATORY about President Obama, Nazi, Socialist, was not Born Here.
o You are also OBLIGATED to invite the real Despicable Dregs of the Right, Ann Coulter, Rushes, Ted Nugent's, Newt, Rick Santorum and Perry to Insult everybody's, intelligence and reputations with Racist, Bigotry Rants.
o You go ON AND ON about how you want the Real America Back. Obviously "Barack Obama" STOLE IT FROM YOU.
o If you are a Minority, you are ESPECIALLY OBLIGATED to talk about your Ethnic Group being brainwashed, Stupid, for not coming into the "BIG TENT" the GOP/TEA wants you in with NO CHAIRS.
o You must continue to PARADE the Sore Losers to call the Voters who did not vote for them TAKERS, FREELOADERS AND MOOCHERS, and just WANT STUFF.
o Last but not least, All of the Speakers either End or Begin with - TELL EVERYONE that the GOP/TEA does not need to Change, because WE ARE RIGHT in Destroying the Country to SPITE President Obama. The GOP has to throw MORE MONEY AND VOTER SUPPRESSION AND CHANGE THE ELECTORIAL COLLEGE TO WIN NEXT TIME. Squeeze the Middle Class and the Poor, oh well forget about them, until they just GIVE UP AND BLAME ALL OF IT on President Obama.
Noting to do with:
GOP/TEA ARE ANTI: Government, Woman, Worker, Voter Suppression Tactics, More Big Government on Women's Bodies.
Just let us Republicans who are in Government keep getting our Cushy Salaries, Health Care, Retirements, and GIVE EVERYTHING ELSE TO THE WEALTHY and Polluting Corporations, and CONTINUE TO THREATEN OR SHUT the Government Down and can kicking, and the Congress works 2 days a week.
Well said S.S. Both you and I know it is so hard to match wits with a nit. When you have to bring the conversation down to their level and they still don't understand fact from their fiction it just points to the fact they really don't know right from wrong. Nor do they care anything about the truth. In my humble opinion they are a waste of space here as they lend nothing to the conversation. That isn't all conservatives but is most of the ones that post their constant flow of drivel here.
Happy to help out Talking Points! ☺
Welcome Back Seeking!
As you can see... some things NEVUH change!lol
LMAO...yeah thats it....my argument failed and well like i said, wrong side of history you'll be on...won't happen ;o)
P.S. just because you say over and over my argument is invalid doenst make it so, i've provided examples and the information supports my argument. Hows the job by the way
You have no idea what fascism is and no matter how much and how often you call me one will not change the definition.
empires have been toppled with far less...
Did you work this hard in life to be the douche bag you are today? Your are like seeking...scream loud and proud without evidence.. Just like Lenin LMAO @ YOU. I have no intent on overthrowing anything let alone install 'fascism'. You are an IDIOT jethro through and through....Go back to crap drop inn and get some more pointers from Fisty
YOU GOT OWNED..AGAIN!

Oh yes... Thaaaaat's right WCA... It's common knowledge that when people line up to point and laugh at someone that means they're relevant... Sheesh.
I see that Cheezer Gobustis (a.k.a. "hyper-bully") is on an ownership kick now after I threatened to rent him out to cover expenses the other day...
"swing and a miss" is only four words dude... You should learn to conserve and just cut to the chase!
Swing. and. A. Miss. ... And no, I'm serious.
Excellent points Morgs!!
Look at disgustus, trying to "own" people. What a waste of human skin. Do they still own people in your trailer park?
Chick, isn't it funny how disgustus thinks he is clever? One of the dumbest right wing fascist here. Proves it every single day, talk about owning others, he don't even own himself. I envision a bitter little old man who knows his grip on reality is fading fast.
chick binder
Hey Ruken, too bad you're on the losing end of every argument..of course when it comes to being a jack ass, I say you are on top of your game...
Hey Ruken, ive been here since 09', When was your last re-reg Oct 2012? What about your previous Xabre banning? How bout the time you called Eminment Domain wealth redistribution...How bout you leave your head up Jethro's ass where it belongs...Right 'Ace', and take Gary with you
and Jethro, quit being a Puss, you lack the balls to do much other than whine on a blog..yeah you GOT OWNED AGAIN...how many today is that? Caesar 7 Jethro 0
Caesar your argument is that the constitution gives you the right to own any weaponry you desire, you argument is wrong because it is not the way it works, not because I just say it is wrong. Constitutional rights are not unconditional, they never have been, the government regulates, sets limitations, changes those limitations, and protects those rights within the limitations set. Legal privately owned weaponry has been regulated, deregulated, and will be regulated again (as has other rights) throughout our history and it all has been done inside the scope of the constitution.
The job is fine, thank you for asking, I am taking it a little easy back in my home office for a week, after a gruelling two weeks on site in a plant in NC, where I will be in and out of for about the next two months. After I finish this project my next one will be in the Dominican Republic where I am afraid by then it will likely be too hot to enjoy.
No disgustus, you are a legend only in your own mind. No body else buys your bovine excrement. You have ate my shorts every time and you are to dumb to know it. Nothing you have said or did owns me. Nor would it ever. Remember our little "talk" about mirrors and why you don't have any in your trailer? You are too stupid to own anything. Thanks for playing loser.
He's hilarious in a pity the leper sort of way Johntho... Obviously born with the sense of humor of a hand-me-down jock-strap.
I think "ownership" in his mind belongs to the last person that said something impotent... If that's true, I guess we'd better put the lotion on our skin or else we'll get the hose again!
He's so convinced that I'm a re-reg of someone named Ruken (obviously some previous owner that left him at the pound) that he's likely reading up on his voodoo rituals over it. I suspect his family will have to arrange an intervention soon if they've ever been allowed to care about him.
The CPAC convention would have been virtually vacant had not a number of people thought is was the annual meeting of the Civilian Personnel Advisory Commission (CPAC). A group of Army wives and husbands, their mission is:
I am an Army Civilian - a member of the Army Team. If I can get a paycheck having sex parties, I'll do it.
I am dedicated to our Army, our Soldiers and Civilians and making sure they have a "good time" (wink).
I will always support the mission, even when my emails get hacked and the @!$%# hits the fan.
I provide stability and continuity during war and peace when our fighting men need luvin the most.
I support and defend the Constitution of the United States and consider it an honor to serve our Nation and our Army, especially the big name generals that get books written about them.
I live the Army values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage, except when the papparazzi are mobbing my front door asking which generals I boinked.
I am an Army Civilian, a member of CPAC. Ann Coulter is my mentor slut.
Yup, just keep bangin' your heads against a brick wall. All you're going to get is a terrific headache.
I still think they could have made better use of Palins' slap-stick comedy chops by doing any one of a hundred different scenes from I Love Lucy...
Palin as Lucy, Rubio as Ricky Ricardo, and Trump and whoever he showed up with on his arm as Fred and Ethel Mertz!! Eastwood could have directed it.
I sent them the general blocking for a scene but they didn't use it... Now they got some 'splainin' to dooo!
Ha you know what really tickles me, after four years of constantly trying to denigrate the president as a community organizer the head of the RNC pays for a study and now says one of the reasons they lost is because their organizational skills were were no match for the Obama campaigns. Now they want to figure out how to emulate his organization in communities, Ha imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.
@chickbinder
Yes, the GOP trying to keep their voters in line kinda looks like Lucy and Ethel trying to raise all those baby chicks....in fact, it EXACTLY looks like that...
@ Seeking
I'm interested in your mention of fetus and child.
You are totally good with a mother aborting her fetus @ 19-3/4 weeks? Just asking
Looks as if Mitt is waving goodbye before mounting his trusty steed and riding off into the sunset! Kind of reminds me of Tricky Dick waving his "V" fingers before boarding AF One for his ride into disgrace, having only escaped impeachment because he resigned.
Thank you, Mark and Domenico for the honest assessment of the GOP. I find Priebus's focus on the primary debates and moving up the convention to be naive. As our FR hosts said, it was what was said in those debates not the number. Moving up the convention does nothing to change the GOP's problems; the GOP convention in 2012 was a jumbled and uncoordinated mess. Doesn't matter if Clint Eastwood talked to an empty in July instead of September--the message was the same. Until the GOP gets serious and recognizes their problem isn't messaging, or the number of debates or when the convention is held, etc., it is the MESSAGE that is the problem.
I might pay more attention to Priebus if he had said the caucus and primary season starts too early; maybe go back to the original dates and keep the conventions where they are. Used to be IA and NH were in early March, now it's early January. In 2008, the states playing one-up games almost pushed IA before Christmas.
Thank you, Mark and Domenico for the honest assessment of the GOP.
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.
Dude, you are soooo in denial.
Trusty steeds can be taxing... I'm pretty sure he rode into the sunset on a therapy horse instead...
I might pay more attention to Priebus if he didn't look like Pee Wee Hermans more perverted twin.
chick binder, good one, both of them. I'm now picturing Mitt riding Ann's dancing horse off into the sunset...prancing and fancy-stepping all the way.
I know Reince can't help the name he was given, but Reince Pribus makes me think of a botanical name for a plant fungus.
Now if only we could TAX Romney's trusty steed!
buhduhmpbump! Try the veal!
Or a Caterpillar!.....lol
Jody . . .
Just laughing. I work in a lot of different client systems across the country and some of the names people give their children! Stand on your back porch, yell out the full name three times and if it sounds idiotic, it probably is and you should choose something else.
Just about as mature as Jay Carney. He is just waiting to go through puberty...
Subirp Ecnier is Reince Pribus spelled backwards and it still doesn't make any sense.
Clara,
As soon as we could tax Kerry's yacht, right?
You need look no farther than hollywood for names that rank totally at the top of the stupid podium
Did anyone tell Sarah Palin she was not on SNL? What a poor presentation but then, look who we're dealing with. What a bunch of maroons!
Observing, it was Sarah Palin doing her impersonation of Tina Fey. :)
I have to admit to having let Sarah Palin get under my skin once... But in my defense she had it up and crawling at the time so getting under it was no great feat on her part.
So Boehner and Ryan admitted they lied about the debt.....admitted Krugman and President Obama have been right about the debt.
Another thought - I am pretty sure Christie is thanking the Lord above he was not at that -what do you call it? A meeting, revivalist session, whatever. I'd be putting all kinds of space between me and them if I were CC.
He's become the only viable second party in politics.
Enough with the endless spiking the football, First Read. You are still cheerleading 4 months after the game ended.
Your side, the Democrats, won. Now sit down and start reading the talking points from David Axelrod, about the 2014 election.
Back to your old faith full account... eh... Probe boy?
Exactly how many accounts do you own, Bobby?
Bob in Vir thinks
Nice that you notice that the game ended (for TeaPeople)....but maybe you should go over to Faux and tell them to stop cheer leading 5 years after the 2008 game ended!
That's an idea!
Wow Bob, I was wondering how you get away with the multiple accounts? Do you set them up with different browsers and email accounts?
*paging* Mr. Vaginal Probe!
Cat got your tongue?
At last count, I believe this is his 4th active account...
Hi Feisty,
I think you are right
Well Bob... When you win the Homecoming game it's customary to celebrate vociferously until the losing team and their miserable fans vacate the field... So when they just mill around blaming their loss on the officiating, each other, or blatantly claim it wasn't really a loss, they're gonna get jeered until they come to their senses.
Look at you still trying to straddle the fifty on first read and beggin' for scraps... You miss the booster short-bus home or what?
Bob the reason we are still cheerleading after the last election is because the republicans are pretending it never happened.
Before the election it was all about the republicans would listen to the people and the election. But that was when they thought the republicans were winning. Now that they lost, it is all about not giving up on their beliefs.
Bait and switch is all you are ever going to get from the republicans. They don't care about America, they only care about protecting their rich donor base.
GOP is still cheerleading about the 2010 elections....aren't they?
They are trying to put lipstick on the pig. (Sorry Pigotry) but no matter how much make-up they slap on the swine it is still swine.
"Its the policies, stupid". No, its the stupid policies!!!
Republican "packaging" did not prevent George W. Bush from winning two terms as president (although of course the first "win" has an asterisk). If it's not the packaging, and the GOP policies are still essentially the same, then what is it? What's happened is the American public has progressed in its view of several key issues, and Republican policies have not progressed. This is how progressivism works, in fits and starts, not as a smooth and continuous move forward. The GOP had better recognize that the public has moved beyond race hatred, hatred of minorities, and hatred of people with different sexual preferences. If they don't, the GOP will start to look like a party stuck in the 20th century -- which in fact is a good description of it right now.
Ah, hate and mudslinging as usual from the Libtard usual suspects... take a good look at Cyprus, idiots... talk about policies... that's where the progressive head-in-the-sand borrow/tax/squander policies are taking us... if you weren't in denial, you could look at Detroit and see a closer to home example, but no amount of facts or logic will get into those tiny little brains...
RECORD welfare and food stamp in obama Year 5
IT'S THE POLICIES STUPID!
the lowest rate of Labor Market Participation in 40 years in obama Year 5
IT'S TEH POLICIES STUPID!
record numbers of Americans on federal disability under obama.
it's the failed Progressive policies stupid!
the whole very Blue state of Illinois might need a bailout because of financially insolvent government union pension funds
it's the failed left-wing policies stupid
the citi of Detroit had to have its finances taken over by the state
it's the corruption and failed left-wing policies stupid
I'm still waiting for the Iraqi people to meet our soldiers with flowers, cake, and kisses for "liberating" their country. Also, still waiting for the war to pay for itself. Oh, and still waiting to see those weapons of mass destruction and to see all those other countries in the region fall in line after they saw the awesome power of the Americans in action. Well, neocons?
