They enjoy picking winners and losers. It makes them feel powerful. If you don't support them, they want to knock you back down the ladder a few rungs. If you support them, they want to assure you get a head start building up your bank account.

In Europe, even conservatives are stuck arguing about which entitlements are most deserved. If they don't promise the right entitlements to the right people, they lose elections. Think it's bad now? Wait til Obamacare gets up to full speed. In 20 years, real conservatives will sound like Ron Paul to the average voter. And be considered just as crazy.

But the answer needs to be provided loudly and boldly: Because liberals know (wink, wink) that every tax increase they've ever passed was specifically designed to exempt the biggest Dem contributors. And us middle class schlubs pick up the difference.

It fails to take into consideration all the jobs that are created by efficient and low-cost delivery of energy. Every dollar you save at the pump is another dollar you could have spent buying something else ... something else that requires workers to provide. Efficiency is the mother of prosperity!

Now if we could just get Romney to make these same points (among others) we'd finally have a candidate with the fortitude to stand up to the onslaught that is about to hit him when/if he becomes the nominee. Romney thinks he's the exception, that he can skirt by the Democrat-Media-Complex unscathed. Good luck Governor! If you don't grow some balls soon, you're gonna need it.

I responded to you as if you were posing a serious question. My mistake. After reading my statement and your question again I realize you're a nihilistic fascist troll trying to tear down what you don't understand. Get lost, loser.

Even Reagan wasn't perfect. But he communicated in a way that swayed people to the conservative cause. He showed a willingness to listen to the people and model his speech to give them a stronger voice. We want a winner. We want a leader. And most of all, we want someone who listens to us and leads our nation's lost and confused to wake up and follow us. Right now, Romney seems to represent the lost and confused. As do you.

They are one and the same. The media is able to tear down our candidates with a steady drumbeat of disrespectful and dishonest caricature. If our leaders would relentlessly and confidently treat the media with the same sarcastic and dismissive attitude as we used to treat Pravda and TASS, eventually the Democrat-media-establishment will become as much of a laughing stock to the general public as they are to us.

Newt communicates the conservative message. Even if he fails to follow through with actions, having a good communicator of conservatism in a position to be heard would do wonders for the cause.

But what I can't stand is that he doesn't even have the capacity to pretend to be conservative. He sees how enthusiastically conservatives respond when someone forcefully represents their convictions. And yet, he won't even attempt to speak to conservatives. Doesn't even try to address their concerns. Anyone with this much contempt for conservatives is a disaster waiting to happen. He'll either lose (and blame conservatives). Or he'll win and for 4 years we'll be left defending his left wing ideas as if we really believe them just because we "have to support our guy." This is ridiculous.

We have the OWS college students in the streets protesting tuition increases. Marching alongside them in "solidarity", we have the unionized college teachers protesting that their wages and benefits aren't going up enough. Can you say "circle jerk" ?

Except for very limited military information, I don't see how ANY congressional information should be nonpublic. How in the h-II are we supposed to vote if we don't know what they know???? We vote for representatives to publicly air the issues and then make decisions that represent the will of the people. We don't vote for a star chamber than hands out edicts decided in secret meetings.

The agitators are all interlopers from "outside." This defense comes from the same "No Borders" crowd that considers illegal alien protests on American streets to be "democracy in action."

Did you hear that Cain is supported by people who support conservative causes? This is scandalous. Let's call the AP so they can breathlessly report it as if they've dug up some controversial and intriguing new fact. AP reporting must be the easiest job in the world.
