Gingrich Unloads on GOP Sissies

Are the lines being drawn or what? I for one could have endured four years of Callista’s rictus grin and suicide-run hair bobs for a win. Tradeoff? Two words: Michelle Obama. Think about it.

The Daily Caller:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that House Republicans should stop negotiating with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats on the fiscal cliff, saying that by doing so, they give Obama all of the leverage in the talks.

“One of the things I would say to House Republicans is to get a grip,” Gingrich said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.

“They are the majority. They’re not the minority,” he said, enunciating the words as if explaining the concept to someone who did not understand it. “They don’t need to cave in to Obama; they don’t need to form a ‘Surrender Caucus.’”

“So my number one bit of advice to the congressional Republicans is simple: Back out [of] all of this negotiating with Obama. The president is overwhelmingly dominant in the news media. You start setting up the definition of success finding an agreement with Obama, you just gave Obama the ability to say to you, ‘Not good enough,’” Gingrich said.

One question: Does this mean John Boehner has to cancel his green reservations?

Not only does the GOP spend a billion bucks cramming a clueless loser down our throats, but then they say, Mr. President, we’ve already been spanked, please screw us now.

No really. This is embarrassing. When will the GOP wake up and realize that Democrats don’t want a deal? They are completely gaming you morons, and you’re still playing Ward Clever for the media. Grow the *#@%!! Up!!!

This is the reason so many Tea Party stalwarts stayed home. The establishment spent two years going out to destroy Sarah Palin and the 2010 grassroots revolt, and they come up with this as a winning alternative?

It Is Not Mitt Romney’s Fault He Lost, You Guys, So Quit Saying So!

Ann Coulter penned a second article this week on why we shouldn’t blame Mitt Romney for losing the election to Barack Obama. In it she compares Romney’s campaign to Ronald Reagan’s 1980 race and roundly denigrates his detractors, whom are many.

Here’s part of it and the link:

Small minds always leap to the answers given the last time around, which is probably why Maxine Waters keeps getting re-elected. But the last time is not necessarily the same as this time. A terrorist attack is not the same as the Cold War, a war in Afghanistan is not the same as a war in Iraq, and Mitt Romney is not the same as John McCain or Bob Dole.

But since the election, many conservatives seem to be coalescing around the explanation for our defeat given by Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots, who said: “What we got was a weak, moderate candidate handpicked by the Beltway elites and country club establishment wing of the Republican Party. The presidential loss is unequivocally on them.”

There was also the seven months of primaries, during which Romney got more votes than the rest of the field combined. So there’s that. Moreover, the idea that Mitt Romney was “a weak, moderate candidate” is preposterous.

There is also no truth to the rumor that Coulter is Liz Trotta’s love child by Teddy Kennedy.

No really, you have to wonder. Do pretend conservatives like Coulter learn the meme and write a few books, rise to acclaim and have pies lobbed at them by campus radicals, just so they can date liberals who’ll tie them up and tell them what naughty little right-wingers they are? Coulter is a walking contradiction.

Full Caf Americano

Here’s the truth from a regular guy’s perspective. Because obviously Ann Coulter has her own truth, so I get mine.

Yes, Mitt Romney received more votes during the primaries. There hasn’t been a Republican-left-wing media lovefest like that since Betty Ford took her last overdose.

Every media outlet from the New York Times to NBC touted a Romney nomination for years.

How did they do this without actually embracing Romney? By destroying his competition as the right wing fringe. Yes, they occasionally took a swipe at Mitt, but it has not been a secret since 2009 who the MSM wanted as Obama’s opponent.

They went after Herman Cain with unfounded allegations branding him, not only as a womanizer, but as a womanizer of white women, the most blatantly racist attack on a black conservative in history.

They hovered over the Bachmann campaign (aided by the RINOs) like it was an Ebola outbreak, and they lambasted Rick Santorum and his wife for being too stupid to have their last child aborted.

In the course of this process Romney spent multiplied millions of his own money running false negative ads against his opponents, which he doubled down on with Newt Gingrich in Florida.

So, yes, Mitt won the primaries, and drawing Coulter’s parallel so did Ronald Reagan in 1980. But Ronald Reagan really was a conservative and he won the presidency. What did Ronnie do differently than Romney? Well, first he brought his party together, something that seems lost on Ann Coulter.

Conversely Romney went through the entire election cycle acting as though there had been no Sarah Palin, or the 2010 grassroots revolt she spearheaded. He dissed the tea party movement, distanced himself from evangelical Christians and pretended RomneyCare wasn’t what RomneyCare was — the blueprint for ObamaCare.

But in a sense Ann Coulter is right in saying Mitt Romney is not to blame for our loss this year; it is really her fault, and that of the multitude of beltway RINOs who fronted his nomination.

Marco Rubio is Just Not Hispanic Enough

One of my pet peeves with the Republicans is that they just never seem to draw lessons from the past.

Already half the leadership is trotting the talking-head circuit saying that the Right wing of the party is to blame for Romney’s humbling lost. How they arrive at this conclusion after fielding the most liberal Republican in decades is mystifying but they nonetheless are touting it far and wide.

So far Bill O’Reilly is on their side. Which in itself should be a warning.

But this week’s GQ interview with Senator Marco Rubio should be glaring explanation enough to teach party leadership the lesson.

In the middle of the chat interviewer Michael Hainey jumps from questions like: ‘If [your grandfather] were with you now, what are some things you would ask him?’ and ‘What are the qualities that would qualify for a man to have dignity?’ to Speaking of dignity, how old’s the Earth?

What part of this do not Republicans get?

Marco Rubio can never be Hispanic enough for a corrupt liberal media. From the moment he consented to the GQ interview Hainey was set to spring a gotcha question that would demonstrate early on the senator’s stupidity. His out-of-touchness if you will. Not because he is Hispanic but because he is not a liberal Hispanic.

Traditional America is no more gone today than it was in the 1960s when the SDS was rioting in the streets against the Vietnam War, or in the 1970s when Gloria Steinem and a few other bitter frumps were burning their bras.

The GOP lost this election for the same reason they lost in 1976 and 1992 and 1996 and 2008; and for the same reason that, even after they won twice with George W. Bush, they still failed to secure the trust of the American people.

For decades, with the tiny eight-year Reagan exception, the Republican Party has failed to message what it stands for, rather than what it is against. And with each of its failures it has consistently become more moderate, in search of a message progressive enough to win special-interest groups while not sacrificing its ‘core’ principals. No such message exists. There is only the conservative message vs. the liberal message, and Americans will gravitate to the conservative every time, if they believe the conservative who presents it.

Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Robert Dole, Mitt Romney, and, yes, even George W. Bush were not conservatives. None of these men are from the Reagan school of small government and big ideas. They are prime examples of watered-down conservatism at its most embarrassing.

Barack Obama and the Democrats did not win the 2012 election; Mitt Romney and the Republicans lost it.

This Is All Ann Coulter’s Fault

Did anyone get the license number?

Wow, that was a real squeaker. Wait. That was the 2000 election when George Bush barely won, after the 37-day Florida recount. Last night would be better described as a thorough ass kicking.

Mitt Romney not only lost the Electoral College (303 to 206), but also the popular vote by more than two-and-a-half million votes. And he did so against a opposition campaign of lies and deceit fostered by the MSM.

How could this have happened? Well, Chris Christie going into that Jersey Shore men’s room with Barack Obama didn’t help.

Christie dealt a devastating blow to the Romney campaign when he declared Obama ‘outstanding’ for his Hurricane Sandy response and scribbled down the president’s private number as he was leaving town.

Was Obama ‘outstanding’ in the face of Hurricane Sandy? No. In fact his FEMA director still hasn’t found Staten Island on the map. But at least he made it into the Situation Room this time. He went to bed during the Benghazi attack.

What have we learned from this rather expensive lesson? And it will cost us dearly. Well, first of all, that the rumors are true. Bill Maher did slip that ideological date-rape drug into Ann Coulter’s drink, way back when she dated the liberal bomb thrower.

Okay, this of course isn’t Coulter’s fault at all, even though she trotted the countryside beginning a year and a half ago declaring Christie the coming GOP messiah, and then switched to Romney when Christie didn’t gain traction.

But it does tell us a lot about the mindset of the modern Republican Party. It could not be more evident than with the party’s pundits and power players. Britt Hume, Karl Rove, George Will, Charles Krauthammer, the list is endless; all of them preached a moderate, if not Romney, nomination immediately after the party base destroyed congressional Democrats in the 2010 midterms.

How did the establishment translate this historic event as a mandate for moderates? Well, they all but ignored it, that’s how.

Coulter was surprising, in that many in the so-called tea party wing thought she was a conservative. And she is — to a point. At least until it comes to actually nominating a conservative candidate for president.

But I didn’t blog this morning to beat up on Ann Coulter.

Just saying, is all.

Stupefying! Obama Wins!

U.S. Loses Constitution

Over the course of a very early evening half the American people returned Barack Obama to the White House for four more years to regulate their future away.

What do we know?

Among things too numerous to list:

1) Country will suffer one of the worst recessions, if not depressions, in history. Business and industry will suffer stifling setbacks.

2) Immigration reform will mean whole visas and citizenship for as many as 20 million people who have enter the country illegally.

3) The Supreme Court of the United States will become the most liberal in history, and redefine the Constitution as a ‘living breathing’ document.

4) Obamacare is law.

WHY? BECAUSE THE ESTABLISHMENT WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY STEAMROLLED THEIR OWN BASE AND NOMINATED A MAN WHO COULD NOT CLOSE THE DEAL.

 

New York Daily News Dumps Obama… Everybody’s doing it

The New York Daily News endorsed Mitt Romney today. Earth shattering news? Certainly not the New York Times — the Gray Lady would rather be a bag lady than turn on Obama — but New York is New York.

Somewhere high in the News’ adminisphere Mort Zuckerman’s editorial board members had an extra cup of coffee and got honest with themselves. Obama’s Keynesian waterboarding experiment has not worked.

The defection joins somewhat of a trend in recent days, but one does have to wonder whether the News has changed its bottled water distributor?

They failed to acknowledge that Keynesianism has never worked in all of history since Keynes came up with it, but we take what we get, and are danged lucky to get this much.

In the end, the News decided that Obama allowed his stimulus to be politicized and that Obamacare was an untimely idea. These observations among a number of others.

‘While the country bled jobs, the President battled to establish universal health insurance — without first restraining soaring medical bills. Then he pushed one of the largest social programs in U.S. history through a Democratic-controlled Congress without a single Republican vote…’

Wow, you guys did notice! We take back everything we said about everyone in the MSM being in the tank for Obama. It’s becoming kind of a cliché now anyway.

There is, however, absolutely no truth to the rumor that Barack Obama locked himself in the bathroom and threatened to slash his wrists when learning of the News’ defection this morning. Narcissism is not that kind of affliction.

Welcome to Obama Weekend Update

Just snatch up the old remote and start punching channels. It’s Obama weekend.

It started early. Barack hugged Hurricane Sandy victims; Barack waved at destitute, flooded out people from a motorboat. Barack was big bro to a gushing Chris Christie.

Barack didn’t go to New York City because Bloomberg is in the tank… with his gone-viral signer, Lydia Callis.

NBC trotted along behind Obama with a sign that read: SEE! HE’S PRESIDENTIAL.

Oh, and Obama’s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.

He forgot to include that he’s Brad Pitt’s eighth cousin six times removed. That’s from Brad’s Kenyan side of the family. Or maybe they’re related on Obama’s mother’s side. I forget.

Geraldo Rivera kicked off the weekend blasting Republicans for politicizing Benghazi. I agree. How dare them politicize what Obama politicized first by burying the whole ordeal under a video no one ever heard of before the White House publicized it. This is politicizical plagiarism. Soy presidente Obama y aprobé este mensaje.

The Red Cross is an absolutely, positively, 100 percent, totally nonprofit 501 (c) 3 nonpartisan organization and does not endorse Barack Obama in its one minute advertisement featuring Barack Obama that is running in all the battleground states this weekend. Because that would be illegal. So they are not doing that.

Huffington Post wants us to know that a ‘veritable fire hose of data’ confirms Obama still has the lead in battleground states. Veritably. A gusher of variability. So don’t even bother to vote for Romney. It’s hopeless.

It’s actually a little better for Romney than I thought it would be. The jobs report ‘ticked’ up to 7.9 percent, which is exactly where it really was in September when California made a mistake and forgot to turn in it’s numbers. Jobs are, as you know, Job 1 in the Obama administration.

Last month’s jobs news was UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN!!! This month’s report ‘ticked up.’ Which is the PC way of saying: Jobs Went The Wrong Direction Last Month.

Buried in that story is the fact that Barack was speaking to a massive audience of 2,800 people. While Romney spoke to a jammed house of 30,000.

This just in. Barbra Streisand is voting for Obama.

On the up side. One of Bill Clinton’s former assistants has endorsed Romney. Rumor has it she wouldn’t put out for Bill in the White House either.

Also, there are two prognosticators out there who are giving it to Romney in a landslide. Michael Barone and Dick Morris.

But Clinton is Obama’s secret weapon. He’s even more enthusiastic about Barry this year than in 2008. No, really.

For Romney Winning is Not Enough

Unless Dick Morris is right, Mitt Romney faces a daunting task in achieving an absolute win on Tuesday. Why do I say absolute? Because a win is not enough for Romney or the GOP field in House and Senate races.

The 2008 elections gave us a new Democratic Party, or rather, I should say, a new tactic within the party. I’ll call it the Al Franken dynamic.

Winning is no longer enough for Republicans; they now must win by wide enough margins to make contesting the races futile. Or at least not cost effective.

No doubt whoever was running Minnesota Senator Al Franken’s race came up with the idea of stealing his senate race against incumbent Norm Coleman from the 2000 Gore campaign. In a narrow loss situation contest, contest, contest! Sue. Litigate. Challenge ballots heretofore thought unchallengeable, and rely on liberal judges and secretaries of state to rule with the liberal.

It almost worked with Gore and did work for Franken who unquestionably stole his election. Coleman, fine Republican that he is, decided to walk away. Fine but square.

Regular Right Guy has always said that the biggest GOP deficit is that the party leadership is unhip. In the 1950s they would have been called square. Today they are simply archaic.

Karl Rove is a case in point. Rove, a brilliant statistician and at least until now campaign strategist, was a self-described nerd from early childhood, right down to his pocket protector. He is also an establishment Republican.

In the aftermath of the 2010 midterm the establishment wing of the GOP — they are the powerbase of the party — wristed control of the tea party led revolution and dragged the conservative party base kicking a screaming to the middle. Thus Mitt Romney.

It may work this time, and I sincerely pray that it does. You Catholics out there do a few extra laps around the beads.

But, if Romney does win, it will not be a revolutionary win. And it will most likely be within contestable margins in many states. To quote the Bard, There’s the rub.

In this scenario the Democrats do what they do best: go to ground and, with the help of a corrupt media, rely on subterfuge and smoke and mirrors to create from whole cloth an ‘overlooked’ electorate. Voting machines will be rigged. ‘Lost’ ballots will pop up. ‘Voter suppression’ will be discovered. In short, a case will be built to litigate the election.

This time nationwide.

In a prefect world Mitt Romney would have a comfortable lead against Barack Obama today. But mistakes have been made. For one thing he accepted the wide-held corrupt media meme that Americans will not vote Benghazi.

It was a remarkable mistake. It was up to Romney to define Benghazi briefly and succinctly and let Obama continue to lie publically. The evidence is overwhelming that the President not only lied but that he created the situation that got an ambassador and three other Americans killed.

Properly framed that message would not have distracted from Romney’s drive on the economy and jobs. Now Obama has new jobs numbers — almost unquestionably manipulated — and a full weekend media cycle in which to tout his successes.

We will see little Romney-Ryan in the media this weekend.

Republican strategists and talking heads have all along drummed the ‘close election’ mantra, almost as though it were a badge of honor. Understandable, they don’t want to raise expectations to the point of apathy.

But the election should not be close. Romney should have a comfortable lead.

I hope Dick Morris is right about Romney but I tend to believe that Rasmussen is right. Nobody knows who will win on Tuesday.

And that will quite possibly translate to an Obama win.

Barack Obama, President of the United States, Commander in Chief, Leader of The Free World and Regional Director of FEMA

It has happened a few times in history. Mostly with royalty. When Queen Victoria expanded her title as monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to include Empress of India. Well, other times.

But this is another Barack H. Obama first. The first time that any president has been President of The United States, Commander In Chief, Leader of The Free World, and Regional Director of FEMA. Just call me and ask for Barack.

No Benghazi, please. Barack’s as anxious to get to the bottom of that as you are, but it’ll have to wait for now. Election? What election? Barack can’t talk about anything but the ravages and devastation: the tragedy that is Sandy. Which he’ll care about every day until… well, forever. (Or November 6, whichever comes first.)

Chris Christie’s on board. Just freaking elated that Obama gave him his direct phone number at the White House. Which means if Obama were ever in the White House Chris could call him. You absolutely know this guy’s wife wakes up on her sliver of the bed three mornings a week saying: This is the moron I married?

This is what I mean about Republicans. You guys have the stupidest leadership since Napoleon Bonaparte sold the Louisiana Purchase for three cents an acre.

Go all the way back to Nixon. The first thing that comes to Republican’s minds when someone mentions Nixon is ‘Watergate.’ Of course Watergate was hoax-journalism on the highest level over a two-bit break-in at DNC headquarters. LBJ and other Democrats had been doing similar stunts for years.

Not that Nixon didn’t foul up. He should have had Bob Haldeman and John Erlichman assassinated.

No, if you are Republican, what should come to mind when someone mentions Nixon is the ‘EPA.’ He’s the MFr who gave it to us. That and ending the trade ban with China. How’s that working out for you?

Everyone has been giddy over this Jenny Craig nightmare Christie for three years, and he is at best a moderate, and at worst a liberal who plays a Republican on TV. It should not be missed that Christie’s glowing endorsement of Obama for doing what a president is supposed to do during a national crises cost Romney votes in a race where every single vote will count.

Christie did it on purpose and it should not be forgotten when he runs for reelection.

The question now is whether Obama can literally ride this storm out through next Tuesday. If he can, we get the real Obama November 6.

Another stupid newspaper that is not based in reality endorses Romney

Since we already know that this story is irrelevant we probably shouldn’t blog about it. And when you really think about it it’s funny. Because it’s so irrelevant and insignificant and really funny. Not just funny — funny ha-ha.

First the Des Moines Register deserts Obama, then that rag down in Florida, and now these fickle hicks up in New Hampshire.

Big Government:

Nashua Telegraph

Four years ago, with little hesitation, we endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama to become the 44th president of the United States, saying it was a time for “new leadership, a new approach to governing, a new way of conducting the people’s business.”

So the basic question facing The Telegraph editorial board when it met last week came down to this: Did the former Illinois senator do enough to live up to those admittedly high expectations to warrant a second term?

After several hours of spirited debate, not unlike conversations taking place in kitchens and living rooms across America, we reached a consensus that he had not. Perhaps more importantly, when we identified the key challenges facing the nation – jobs, the economy and the national debt – we concluded he was not the best candidate to meet them.

Okay, Mr. Insignificant Newspaper Board! Politico and MSNBC endorse Barack, so there. Besides, New Hampshire is an itsy bitsy state that nobody cares about, and newspapers are… are… old fashioned. Barack is busy being president of the whole world and could not be less concerned about some silly birdcage liner in… well, almost Canada!

We have one word for you guys: OUTLIER OUTLIER OUTLIER! Which is one word, frankly, that we cannot stress enough. OUTLIER OUTLIER OUTLIER! Like those completely rigged polls. OUTLIERS!

Haven’t you people heard there’s a hurricane still sort of out there and Barack H. Obama is a man of action? He has people to save, right in the line of fire. It’s a war out there and he cannot–will not–leave anyone behind!

Team Obama will be worried when Jay Leno starts taking shots at Barack, and there is absolutely ZERO chance of that happening.

And don’t get me started on President Obama’s valiant actions in Benghazi. On the job the whole time. We can’t get into details about that, but it was just like in Sandy. In the Situation Room.
