RINO season Opens Early…

RINO season Opens Early…

Democrats have started their campaigning a bit early, quite possibly due to the fact they are getting their ass handed to them in the polls. I think the Republicans better match that intensity real soon.

Right now, the media blitz the POTUS and his minions are engaged in, is setting the stage for the debate. The debate is already lost on the inner city dwellers. Those at the feeding trough are not about to vote out those that fill it. BUT, if the Republicans can stick to the issues and not be dragged into defending racism charges, their ammo is dry, their guns are zero’d and their targets are clearly marked.


IF the Republicans want to retake congress this year they need to do five things:

1. Convince the nation that they learned their lesson. The years they had control were not much better than the years the Democrats controlled congress. Except for a few things like the economy, jobs and a few moral issues that were done well. Most of the nation equates ALL years under Bush the Republicans fault. So it’s imperative that the Republicans make issue of the last 2 years of Bush, being under a DEMOCRAT controlled congress.

2. Put the facts out there. Show the economic collapse and the LACK of recovery. Show the American people that Reagan’s recovery from a much worse collapse was due to LESS government not More. Show how many of the jobs created were GOVERNMENT Jobs. Show the lack of private sector jobs. Increase the intensity of the debate about the economic stimulus that wasn’t and show the historical lessons learned by following on the current liberal path.

3. Put the Illegal Immigration debate front and center. Make the rule of law a talking point. Make the Democrats engage the illegal Immigration issue. Stick to your guns about border security first, prior to engaging in any shamnesty discussion. Do not let the argument turn into a “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” debacle. Stay on point about securing the border. Point out the efforts our Homeland security team is making to secure the border for Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

4. Bring up all the lies, bribes and backroom deals made to pass the health care sham. Point out all the LIES made, and the facts now. Show the connection between these LIES and the economic growth it shuddered. Put the ethics questions out there. Rangle, Kerry, Geitner, and every other Democrat, include the city of bell DEMOCRATS and tie them all together.

5. Go on every liberal talk show that you can and have your facts. Don’t let the liberal points influence you, bring up the fact that it will be hard to gain voters from certain areas because the democrats are buying them by keeping them in chains. The liberals need to awaken to the core principles of conservatism that believes in the individual excellence of ALL. They have been conditioned to think we are the bad guys because we want to take their food away. Show them how we want them to succeed and provide their OWN food rather than depend on the Government to do it.

This is an early season because the Democrats and RINO’s are scared. Get out there conservative candidates and share the message. The message is truth, the message you carry is AMERICANISM and the other side is ANTI AMERICANISM.

We need strong CONSERVATIVES to carry the message that the Republicans have learned their lesson and are coming back to the principles that have made America Great.

Time to Roll.

So spare me the bullshit liberpukes. Facts are pesky little problems for you but they are YOUR problem. I posted “Regan vs Obama” earlier today and the question remains: 17 months and we are worse off than we were on the day Duh-1 took office.

Reagan got handed a far worse economic mess and within 17 months we were on a NOTICEABLE path to recovery that lasted until the PC bots ruined it. Where is the recovery duh-1? All the money spent for your pets and still unemployment is roughly 9.6% (Government adjusted) the real number is MUCH higher.
