PART I: Has Conservative Talk Radio Doomed the GOP?
by

AN INTERESTING QUESTION:(This is the first in a series of small "think" pieces designed to examine why the GOP is now a "loser".
Watch for additional installments throughout the weekend.)
FiveThirtyEight has an
interesting commentary today about the intriguing possibility that the
very success of conservative talk radio has doomed the GOP.
I've been coming close to reaching the same conclusion. I
would like to see a break-down of talk show listeners and how they
voted, or as I suspect, did not vote.
The problem
with conservative talk radio is the ASSUME factor. Remember
ASS = U + ME. ... more »

Will Conservatives Ever Learn How to Behave?

NO CONSERVATIVE SOROSDoes the credit for Barack Obama's Democratic Victory belong to Obama, the Democrats, or to George Soros?
Is it possible the reason George Soros was able to spread copious amounts of cash around to attract all the loony leaning left because the Left did not have a working talk radio machine?
Listening to Rush today as he proudly stated that he was a conservative over a Republican I realized we're in bad shape. I'm not worried about Rush Limbaugh. When all is said and done, he votes Republican. He's not the real problem, not really.

Jim DeMint Betrays the GOP and the Ghost of Reagan

WE KNEW IT WAS COMING
Around South Carolina, the very conservative junior senator who is the conservative darling, is considered a bit of a diva who will ham it up for any camera. There's never been one he doesn't like. If there's a camera within 100 miles, he's going to find a way to get onto television. The conservative world likes to rail against the recently re-elected senior senator, Lindsey Graham, but in South Carolina, Lindsey is the "beloved" Senator and DeMint is the also ran. He is an also-ran who doesn't like being upstaged. So, this week, when the ... more »

The New Battle Cry: Kill the RINOS?

CONSERVATIVES CAN’T WIN!
After Ted Nugent wrote that outrageously short-sighted and abjectly stupid piece for Human Events that basically calls for open season on all RINOS, other easily led conservatives are chiming in. I’m not linking because I don’t want to give him that much credit. And, I never did like his music.
It’s all part of the “great GOP civil war” or is it? I remember 4 years the Democratic Party was dead and buried. While we were celebrating their demise, they became terribly liberal. While Republicans in the House were becoming so corrupt they felt they could act ... more »

The 14% Non-Solution

CONSERVATIVES ELECTED OBAMAI've been reading email and articles for several days now.
The problem with circling all the little conservatives and hope and pray for victory in 2010 and 2012 is conservatives alone are impotent when it comes to winning for the GOP.These are the facts:34% of Americans view themselves as conservatives.Do the math - What about the other 66%? Take away about 25% as liberals and you're left with 41% of the American voters who are neither conservative nor liberal.

HOW TO LOSE - FOREVER
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Lewis Carroll
I may have a problem with dyslexia that seriously effects my ability to do any sort of mathematical problems, but even a dyslexic knows that there are certain percentages needed to achieve a majority. If we use the theory that 100% = 100%, then in order to have over half that number - or a plurality, one needs no less than ... more »

How Conservatives Elected Barack Obama
by

OBAMACONS WERE REAL
I hate being right.
I TOLD YOU SO.
You can’t trust ideological conservatives. They make a big deal about what they believe, then a full 20% of them voted for Barack Obama. They betrayed their country by voting for the most liberal candidate imaginable.
There are some interesting stats posted up on Race42008.
“…People who voted for Bush last time split 80-20, with only 80% of them voting for McCain.
As Jim Geraghty notes, it’s a little difficult to win when you bleed 20% of your previous party support.
Comparatively, Obama won 90% of ... more »
Just More of the Same Conservative Mess (or) a Perfect Democrat Storm

IS THE NM GOP DEAD?
Today there is joy within the bowels of the DNC. They have absolutely destroyed the GOP - House & Senate. It is a triumph of the Democratic Spirit!
Yea, right.
It's more like the triumph of a patently obvious fraudulent voting registration and identification system.
It is the triumph of an absolutely corrupt Democratic machine.
It is the "triumph" of a completely incompetent state Republican party.And - it is the "triumph" of a vote count system so corrupt it is almost laughable.
Let's start with the most pressing item - the way the ... more »
