		<description><![CDATA[I believe the reason the incumbents don&#039;t fight for their constituents&#039; liberties is because they don&#039;t see their constituents fighting for their own liberties.  

Boehner&#039;s constitutents reward him every two years with no real primary challenger.  Cantor had no real primary challenger.  Why should they go out on a limb and fight for their constituents&#039; liberties if the easier path, going along to get along, gets them an easy primary win.  

In my humble opinion, we won&#039;t see any change in the incumbents until we conservatives organize and unite locally in our respective Republican Party committees, and fill up every vacant precinct committeeman slot with conservatives, thereby demonstrating that we might be able to REPLACE them in the primary election.   (About half of the 400,000 or so Republican Party PC slots are still vacant and about one third of the precincts in American have not even one Republican PC.  &lt;b&gt;And Reince Priebus likes that just fine -- because if that does not change, he&#039;ll be reelected RNC Chairman again.&lt;/b&gt;)

With the internet and the easy access to information about how to do it, it&#039;s a travesty that we conservatives haven&#039;t invaded our local committees.  We have the numbers.  We just don&#039;t seem to have the will.  My sig line still asks, &quot;Will &lt;b&gt;YOU&lt;/b&gt; help make 2011 &quot;The  Year of the Precinct Committeeman?&quot;   Unfortunately, most who have read it have said, &quot;No!&quot;

Maybe 2012 will be the year.

Plus, local Party committee politics can be fun.

Thank you.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems more than strange to me that the Republican party and candidates have all kinds of pollsters working for them, but neither the party nor the individual candidates hire experts in mass/public psychology to help them with public relations.  They do and say things with seemingly no regard for the &lt;i&gt;effect&lt;/i&gt; their words will have on non-committed voters.

It&#039;s not &lt;i&gt;just&lt;/i&gt; marketing, it&#039;s getting the message across to listeners instead of having them reject it without processing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve spent the last couple of years trying to figure out why these ass hats can&#039;t make the most obvious arguments, make the most obvious strategic move, or fight the most obvious fights when they have 60% or more of the voting public behind them. I&#039;ve tried applying logic to it, 

Like you, I&#039;ve tried to come up with reasons or scenarios that they are waiting for the best time in order to inflict the most damage on the Dems...I keep telling myself they are waiting till they have majorities in both houses...or a Republican in the white House...I&#039;ve painted the most glorious pictures in my mind depicting the day SOMEONE in Republican Leadership FINALLY hammers the ObamaDems the way they deserve to be hammered.

But then, after years of watching this...I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that I&#039;ve been engaging a grand exorcize of mental masturbation in an effort to avoid the obvious truth and keep myself encouraged as these piss ants who call themselves leaders allow the Marxists in this country to destroy us.  

The simple answer is, The day isn&#039;t coming when they will fire the magic bullet and bring reality crashing down on Washington.

We are being lead by a bunch of unprincipled and incompetent, lazy, corrupt, crass, duplicitous, cowardly, stupid idiots who couldn&#039;t or won&#039;t find their asses with both hands...and I&#039;m beginning to think it is all by design.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The media have had some big bashing, but they keep on doing what they do.  I was a Fox News junkie for a long time but have not watched them much in a good while.  They&#039;ve appeared to be so far in the tank for Romney, and he is totally unacceptable to me.  He&#039;s been campaigning more or less for 8 years or so and has never gotten above 25% or so.  It seems like the establishment RINOs (Republicans in name only) have decided it is Romney&#039;s &quot;turn&quot; to be president, just like they decided it was McCain&#039;s last time.  (Think Karl Rove and his crowd here.)  Ain&#039;t gonna happen again!  Not if I have anything to say about it!

Also, if I had my way, b.o. and all of his minions/thugs would be frog-marched out of DC in chains and sent to Siberian labor camps or something.  That is where they belong!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[touched, and maybe not Holder&#039;s either unless he has agreed to be the fall guy.  D.C. and many judges are so corrupt, then there is the extremely corrupt MSM who are in the trenches for anything progressive/liberal.  And they have covered up everything regarding b.o.  There is no way they would have let it slide with any conservative who sealed all school records, a REAL birth certificate and so on.  But that is what they have done with b.o., who is nothing more than another Chicago thug from the Daley machine there - and he&#039;s never done an honest day&#039;s work in his life!]]></description>
