A LOST OPPERTUNITY







What if Republicans were  principled?   What if they had done the right thing from the beginning of Obama's rule?  
  • What if they had vigorously protested the way Al Franken was fraudulently given his seat in the United States Senate? The seat that allowed Democrats absolute rule?
  • What if they had demanded hearings into the Obama birth certificate issue?  Demanded to know why patently fraudulent certificates were being proffered willy-nilly?
  • What if they had called for Eric Holder's removal every time he blatantly ignored the rule of law, beginning with his rejection of Kinston, N.C. voters who decided overwhelmingly in 2008 to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections—or for leading the charge against Arizona for trying to uphold immigration laws on the books; or for letting the Black Panther's off the hook for voter intimidation; or for—?
  • What if they had demanded impeachment hearings against Obama at the juncture of every offense on his long list of impeachable offenses, and actually impeached him after taking control of the House?  Instead of using the  excuse that the Senate would not convict?  What would have happened?
THE ANSWER IS - Vilification by the Media
REPUBLICANS- THOSE BEASTS!

The media would have done a daily Sarah Palin on Republicans.   Convinced the public that Republicans were strident right wing tea party kooks who should not be allowed to run for office, and quite possibly cost them their current House majority.

But guess what?

They Would Today Have an Identity.  That Identity.  Of a party who tried to warn us.  The Republican Party would be The Elephant Who Knew

Had they done all that; acted responsibly, embraced the Teaparty
, who after all practice  the very values the GOP only give lip service to.  Had they done that,  today they would be identified as the anti-Obama inoculation the country so desperately needs.  A no brainer.  Like right now. 


WIPED OFF THE MAP!
In 1993, support for the Canada's Conservative Party collapsed, and the party's representation in the House of Commons dropped from an absolute majority of seats to only two seats. The 1993 results were the worst electoral disaster in Canadian history, and the Progressive Conservatives never fully recovered.
Nat Hentoff,  the left leaning Village Voice's long time voice of propriety and reason, is now demanding Obama's impeachment.  A Black Republican congressional candidate has (properly)  called for Obama's execution for treason.  Of course he should be, after a proper military trial.  Certainly a better case can be made for  hanging  than for believing his birth certificates are legitimate.

People hate Obamacare with a passion, and fear the man. Obama has virtually no public approval outside a hard core leftist base of America hating anarchists and communists.  But the public do not differentiate between congressional Democrats and Republicans,  and how could they? What the Hell, just yesterday the GOP House Whip called for going along with Dem's illegal immo plan.

In 1993, Canada's ruling Progressive Conservative Party collapsed, and the party's representation in the House of Commons dropped from an absolute majority of seats to only two seats. The 1993 results were the worst electoral disaster in Canadian history, and the Progressive Conservatives never fully recovered [wiki].  This is precisely what could have happened to Congressional Democrats next year; wiped off the political map. Instead, we have uber left-wing Sen. Patrick Leahy laying new footprints in the political pail of liquid media history, saying "the nation’s lawmakers must act to return control of the government to the people."   That's what the GOP ought have been saying for years.  And naming Leahy as a prime contributor.  Sheesh.

I just don't know. I have voter fatigue. Romney lost 'cause conservative voters stayed away in droves. And the Repubs don't seem to get it. They keep tying to commit suicide and we are getting tied of fighting them for the gun. Maybe we just let 'em dry up and blow away and let the tea party rise up.

If the Establishment Republicans had done their job instead of giving in to the Dems, the Tea Party would not have been necessary, nor probably even in existence today.

What if the Republicans had done the right thing from the beginning of GW Bush's rule?

Skoonj: Didn't you know? It's ok if it's your party killing the country. Seriously, you're dead on. Bush laid the groundwork for Obama. He should share the same fate

This is not rocket science GOP, Richard Nixon won 2 landslide
elections by articulating a clear conservative agenda.

Ronald Reagan won 2 landslides for California governor and 2 of the
greatest presidential landslides in history.

Carter got his ass stomped like a Narc at a biker rally and Mondale
is still oinking from the boinking!

Even today, California is in play for the GOP if the candidate stays
true to conservative principals.

That's funny stuff right there. Not that you're wrong about California but that you're wrong about the GOP. They are too far gone to entertain so much as a conservative thought let alone a conservative principle. That's what I see anyway.

That is pretty much my point. The reason California is a deep blue
state is that the GOP has ceded it to the Democrats.

In 1982, there was an item on the ballot to ban handguns. It went
down 2-1 at the polls. The CCRA California Civil Rights Amendment
outlawed affirmative action on the state level.

Prop. 8, which outlawed gay marriage is another example.

Up until the GOP walked away from the state, there were more GOP
governors than Democrats in my lifetime. The idea that the blue
states are a lost cause is a losing strategy.

Michigan has Republican governor and the people of Chicago are now
railing against the corrupt Dem. machine that is ruining the city.

No state should be written off!

"What if Republicans were principled?"

They would have won every single presidential election since 1988.

But, then, they would also had Boehner, Alexander, King, Corker, McCain and Graham ridden out of town on rails - after heating said rails to 1500 degrees.
