Fantastic idea! I’m going to get started on this today.

We can’t afford for the GOP to campaign on a Herbert Hoover message. Where is the economic growth story? Where is the positive message?

…when you take a chunk out of their wallet.

They coughed up the dough to elect Obama two years ago because they thought they were all going to utopia or something.
They were all for “spreading the wealth” until they found out that when you reduce a business’ profits the first thing they do is lay someone off. Hope and change ain’t gonna’ play too well again and Obama is going to need a different theme.
The problem with that for Obama is no one is going to believe him when he tries to act like he is all about creating jobs as he will no doubt have to attack the rich ...again..to keep his base happy.

Another problem for him was that on the campaign he was Mr. Ambiguous who could make any promise and talk as if he had the solution to everything. He was the man with no past who was going to lead his flock into the future.
He could be anybody as there was never a record we could pin him to.
Not anymore. Just like in 2010 when the Democrats had to run away from the last two years of their rampage and campaign on smearing conservatives instead. Obama will have the same problem. Now he has a record and it ain’t pretty.

He will have a tough time making big promises when people are eating Ramen noodles three times a week.
That is why the media is jumping on the “food stamp President” comment from Newt so hard because a phrase like that can stick and become a powerful slogan.
They want to make that phrase forbidden.

government to decide where and when and if drilling to take place, I feel so much better. In other welcome news. The O and his wise cohorts in Congress will seek to cut subsidies to the big[ means bad] oil companies. This would certainly expedite oil exploration and drilling, don’t you think? Plus it would reduce the deficit, $21 billion over ten years, by which time we will need a new vocabulary to describe it’s size.
Well if the Chinese can ride around on bicycles I guess we can.

you have almost made me want to join one of these social networking sites.

There won’t be change until the public truly gets how bad US finances are. The public yawns when it hears $trillions in debt thinking “big number, but its a big country”. since they have no perspective. We need to rephrase the issue:

There won’t be change until the public truly gets how bad things are. The public yawns when it hears $trillions thinking “big number, but its a big country”. since they have no perspective. We need to rephrase the issue:

The federal government will need >$1 million per household to pay its IOUs!
> $116 trillion =”official” debt plus money  short for future social security, medicare, etc
Even its “official debt” of $14.2 trillion  is $123,754 per household!

“POLL REVEALS: Americans Are Still In Deep Denial About The Deficit” http://read.bi/h6QDGR If they realized how bad it is politicians would need to act.

So be among the first to join the new Facebook cause “Stop National Debt” : http://www.causes.com/causes/606425-stop-national-debt
since if you don’t spread the word, who will?
We need to spread the word virally to educate non news-junkies.

It says alot about our society when the media and the masses will not acknowledge his inability to tell the truth. As long as the media dodges the truth and aids and abets this crime against America we spin our wheels. Good example is the continueing saga about bin Ladin over- powering the real news and issues we face. Poor Bernie Madoff didn’t hurt the folks like the clown in thre White House.

Congrats on getting the job.

Keep up the good work …

See if you can talk the RSC and RCC into staying out of the primaries and then we might actually start to fund them again.

HOPE! Hope that his presidency ends liberalism in America.

Enough is enough. Let’s hold Democrats and Republicans accountable so we can get America working.

I would say have a little ‘voter reg’ event at the gas station – clipboard with reg forms and a sign ‘re-register republican if you’ve had enough’ – the guys in Fresno have been registering a LOT of republicans this way and we are going to try it in LA.

But the fact you didn’t think of this or similar ideas shows the grassroots work, like registrattion, just is not on your mind (or radar) at all.

If you can’t even come up with ideas that cost nothing to advance our cause, how can we trust you with the millions you are going to raise?

I am GOP chair for a district in Los Angeles – why aren’t you leading the GOP in such a way as to encourage my state chairman and my county chairman to support our local volunteer recruitment efforts?

I fill out the volunteer form on the California Republican Party web site, but am never advised by the state party that I have a new volunteer.

I ask my county chair for a list of past volunteers in my district and get a deer-in-the-headlights look.

I am a brand new district chair and I am responsible for 300 precincts and I have not a single volunteer or precinct captain. This is the legacy that your party passed on to me.

What are you going to do about that? Are you going to encourage my state chair to alter his mass emails so that he replaces JUST ONE of those six links to his contributions page with a ‘Volunteer Now’ button? (And I am actually informed of new volunteers?)

I have my own plan to get the volunteers I need and whip my district into shape. But it was reasonable to expect to inherit just the teeniest bit of existing infrastructure from generations of GOP work in the largest GOP county in the country.

Can I count on any help from you and your state and county chairs?

Or is it going to be GOP business as usual? Your GOTV people are on their own?

Remember, the people who put the boots on the ground also govern the GOP and elect the GOP leaders and the RNC Committee Critters.

Do you want to be a one term RNC chair?

He hasn’t returned to answer any of our questions or concerns in the comments…
