He said his party has to “avoid the trap of looking soft and weak” and that “there are strong adverbs, adjectives and verbs as opposed to weak.”

This is not being done in a corner. I hope this story reaches whoever it is that listens to politicians’ speeches (I am not one and have trouble imagining why anyone would do this, but they must exist, otherwise the Dems would not be engaging in this exercise).

The ad that the ACLU is running is heavy with irony. It shows Obama’s face morphing into G.W. Bush’s — and they think that’s a bad thing. What has happened is that time after time after time the Obama team has wanted to handle national security issues differently and time after time after time they’ve had to admit that the Bush administration’s way was sensible, legal, and the best idea. So Bush is being validated and the Obama team looks like a bunch of idiots who always have the wrong instincts. Why would we want a gang with all the wrong instincts in charge?

Katherine, “Why would we want a gang with all the wrong instincts in charge?” So we could have that hope-y, change-y thingy that was so popular in the pre-O time, of course.

Yeah, these guys are completely screwed come November.

Unless the House passes the Senate bill, in which case the Republicans must repeal, or reconcile themselves to being the seasonal color of a permanent leftist dependency state. At that point it doesn’t matter nearly as much who wins.

In my opinion, if you have to rely on “talking point” to survive, then you have not given much thought to an issue.
Democrats just do not “get” national security. It is a foreign idea to them. That being said, Republicans do not seem to “get” a lot of domestic issues. They allow the Democrats to demonize them. Republicans need to learn how not to get painted into a corner by a lying weasels who distort the Republican position on policy.

That means you have to know your stuff and actually talk with confidence about your position. The challenge is that the media dotes on “sound bites” and does not really encourage substantive discussion of issues. That is why Democrats normally fare better in the media. They do “touchy-feely” much better and the media likes that.

What does “Hope and Change” really mean? Not a damn thing, but it does sound good. That is what got Obama elected. There was not one ounce of substance in anything the man ever said. But people ate that up like ants on a sugar spill.

I am prepared to get dirty looks and hard feelings from the stupid Obama libs in my family and friends when I relay what conservatives really think of Obama and his followers.

What the “Progressives” continue to push is packaging over content. Mr. Obama commented that they had not gotten the message out. This essentially means to him that they had not used the correct words. The reality is no one wants the package no matter how it is described. The Republicans need to go on an apology tour also. First they have to apologize for squandering their eight years when they held the majority. Then Apologize for an inadequate response to the Obama juggernaut and finally, When they take back the white house and congress they will have to apologize to our traditional allies including England for being so quiet when Mr. Obama was being so dismissive. The Republicans have yet to field anyone that I could vote for as a potential presidential candidate.

Obama’s latest brainwave, to ban recreational fishing in the U.S. by executive order in order to court his liberal international friends and leftwing environmental groups, is going to make him REAL popular with a yet another whole new set of soon-to-be Republican voters.

I suppose I should have added that if Obama’s policies have gotten to the point where even ESPN is ventilating about their stupidity, the Democrats have a real problem on their hands.

Jim,
Thanks for the Heads up on this. I have a photo behind me of my late father ice fishing in Michigan. Looks like I’ll have to take up fishing again! I didn’t realize that deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill would lead to these folks being involved in political action committees and Government too. Mr. Obama and his administration seem to be completely tone deaf. Bear Grylls (Man vs Wild) may be arrested for eating raw fish on his show. PETA would probably rate it a capital offense.

Jim, that is fascinating. Worthy of a post in itself.

As ESPN previously reported, WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled “Transition Green” shortly after Obama was elected in 2008.

These people really do have a political death wish.

Remember when Cass Sunstein was appointed and they said he supported the rights of pets to sue people? I thought they were joking.

Now all we need is a troll nicknamed Polluter.

“Those fish do not possess the Imago Dei!! Kill them all into extinction! Who cares about the planet ?!! Remember 2 Pe 3:10!”

Well,
If worst comes to worst we can become fishers of men. Oh…never mind that’s what we’re supposed to be doing.
