Are Republicans "trying" to lose the 2016 presidential race?

So screeching out a whole page of racist rants is supposed to help me, how, exactly?

It seems you are the one screwing up your life with your insane hate.

All edge can do is screech, having nothing to support the hatred.

all you do is cry that people are far right reactionaries or vile reactionaries....while NEVER once backing up your whiny claim

Jake tends to call people reactionaries that he feels are reactionaries.

Does he take an overly confrontational approach? Sometimes.

Is he always on the money? Maybe not, but from what I see most of the people he calls reactionaries and extremists tend to respond in kind.
 
The right doesn't realize just how big of a joke their phoney outrage over Obama has become. I wonder if they think the country is as stupid as they are? That the rest of the country cannot tell that 90% of what they say about Obama, is just made up non-sense?

When you launch into countrywide protests less than 10 days after his initial inauguration, before he's had a chance to do anything to protest about, do you really expect people to believe you got valid issues with his Administration?

WTF can any President do in 10 days that would spark so much outrage? Aside from Truman, nothing. Word to the right, nobody buy's your rap against Obama!

What I don't understand is, why the right chooses to make shit up about the President, when there are very serious issues about the man people should be outraged about?

everything in post #360 is true. If you think you can disprove any of it, please proceed.

As a starter tell us why the POTUS should be taking sides in a local self defense case in Sanford Fla.

This may come as a surprise to you and other conservatives, but presidents retain the right to express personal views and opinions on maters of National import, such as this case concerning race relations.

The president wasn’t addressing the Zimmerman case, but the specter of yet another young African-American male who lost his life and the perceived callous response by a seemingly uncaring Nation.

However much the partisan right may disagree and wish to belittle and ignore it, the fact remains that a majority of African-Americans still perceive themselves to live in a society and culture that continues to sanction de facto racism.

And that perception is just as valid as the right’s perception that there is no racism in America.

This also goes to the thread topic, where republicans continue to fail to at least respect and listen to the African-American perspective on issues concerning race, where these concerns are ignored and ridiculed by republicans. The proof of this can be found in numerous threads in this very forum.

Instead of engaging African-Americans in good faith dialogue with regard to how young black men are perceived by law enforcement and whites in general, conservatives defensively and insultingly respond with admonishments about ‘black on black’ crime, ‘homes without fathers,’ and the ‘entitlement mentality’ of blacks – all having nothing to do with the issues exposed by the Zimmerman case.

It’s no wonder African-Americans exhibit such disdain for the GOP.
All presidents in the their second term feel more free to express their opinion since they don't have to worry about an upcoming election. I find it refreshing to hear a president speak his mind. So much of what we hear from a president is part of his political agenda. Sometimes a president just wants to express his opinion. Of course his opposition always see it as part of a sinister plan.

I have quite an imagination, but even I would not have been able to shoehorn Christianity into that response. That is impressive.

It takes no imagination to see how liberalism is a religion. There is in fact no way that it's not a religion.

No argument that it can be for some. Carl Jung would have agreed with you to some extent. I have little use for liberals for whom statism is their religion either.

However, your views are far too extremist to be of any practical use.

Social: Our bodies belong to ourselves, not the government

Military: We should have a military geared towards the defense of the United States, not one that meddles in other countries' affairs.

Fiscal: Taxes should be low so people profit from the benefit of their own work and government should perform those functions, and only those functions, not realistically performable by a free market.

Wow, when I say it out loud you're right, I'm bat shit crazy!

BTW, that also makes the Constitution "far to extreme to be of any practical use" as well...

Yup, I am dead on the money with Yurt, Ernie S., and others from my start on this Board with the far weird reactionary right. They are the enemies of American values.

Jimmy Jam, I will treat others the way they behave. I get along with many lefties, righties, and centrists. I have many on the right tell me to keep bashing the crazies in our party.

We can never ever afford a Santorum or a Perry or a Bachmann or any of the other crazies leading the GOP, for such will destroy the party if elected first and then destroy our country.

We paid a price for that boom. We saw most of the wealth spread to the top one percent, we saw workers make more and more sacrifices and receive less and less for it. We saw a boom vested in debt that went to pay for unnecessary wars and an artificially low tax rate

That is what supply side bought us

Made up points supported by a dearth of economic data are certainly persuasive. Hmm...maybe "persuasive" isn't the word. Questioning government to a liberal is like questioning Jesus to a Christian. That's why you hate Christians so much, people can only have one God.

Straight up truth, bub, whether you like it or not.

I always enjoy a good liberal cluster. So now when tax cuts and tax simplification start a 20 year economic rally, that only proves we need socialism. All hail the Democratic party.

This reminds me of the global warming argument. If it's hot, that proves global warming. If it's cold, that proves global warming. Wet, dry, average ... global warming, global warming, global warming.

In liberal land, all roads lead to government. The economy's up, socialism! Down, socialism! Sideways, socialism!

Why did I say it's a religion again? I can't remember now. Do you, Jake?

You couldn't be dead on the money if you had a coronary in a bank vault...

The rally enriched the rich and screwed the middle class and collapsed the economy. Look up 'socialism' cause you don't know the word or its meaning.

Global warming has nothing to do with this: can't shift the argument.

Reading kaz gives me comfort knowing that America will never fall for his nonsense.

yup....supporting gay marriage means you're a vile far right reactionary and enemy of american values in jake's mind

lmao
 
Yurt, we are talking about who you support, vile reactionaries. Anyone who supports Issa is a reactionary.

Issa "Voted NO on prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation."

Issa "Voted YES on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman."

Issa "Voted YES on making the PATRIOT Act permanent."

Issa "Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage."

I said your views were too extremist to be practical based on the over-simplified version of the political spectrum that your comment about liberals suggested. I don't disagree with the fundamentals you've presented in this last post. If you want to react that I called you bat-shit crazy that's up to you. We're all adults here. I think.

I love a good off-the-track rant. So, you're saying that religion is a fanatical dogma that forces all conditions into a rigid agenda?

Agreed.

I love how loons on both sides keep declaring the other party dead after Bush was reelected in 2004 the right did it with the Democrats now after Obama was reelected the left is doing with the Republicans elections go in cycles with one party on a high and one a low the trend always swings back and fourth it's sad how some just can't grasp that.
 
Blackhawk, every one gets the 'cycle' thing, huh.

What the best Americans are trying to do is to keep the government out of the hands of the liberals and the reactionaries.

Are Republicans trying to lose the 2016 presidential race? - The Week

n the wake of President Obama's resounding victory in the 2012 election, the Republican National Committee drafted what came to be known as its autopsy report, a sweeping critique of the party's messaging and platform that warned that, unless the party changed, "it will be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win another presidential election in the near future. In the last week alone — the GOP, at both the state and federal level, has narrowed its appeal so drastically that, at this rate, it seems quite likely that any generic, scandal-free Democrat could easily win the 2016 presidential election.

The RNC's autopsy report said the party "must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform" if it wants a larger share of the growing, all-important Latino vote. Legislation to provide illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship passed with bipartisan support in the Senate, but it was made clear last week that it has no chance in the GOP-controlled House. This is sure to only estrange Latinos further.

As David Brooks, the conservative columnist at The New York Times, recently wrote:

Before Asians, Hispanics and all the other groups can be won with economic plans, they need to feel respected and understood by the G.O.P. They need to feel that Republicans respect their ethnic and cultural identity. If Republicans reject immigration reform, that will be a giant sign of disrespect, and nothing else Republicans say will even be heard

Then there is the issue of women's rights, or what Democrats like to call the War on Women. The RNC said the GOP must develop a "forward-leaning vision for voting Republican that appeals to women" if it wants to prevent a repeat of an election that saw Obama win women voters overall by 11 points and single women by a staggering 36 points. But just last week, the Texas legislature, with full-throated support from Republican Gov. Rick Perry, passed one of the toughest abortion laws in the country, which anti-abortion groups warn could lead to the shuttering of all but four of the Lone Star State's abortion clinics.

Finally, there is the GOP's economic policies. The RNC was quite emphatic about this: "The perception, revealed in polling, that the GOP does not care about people is doing great harm to the party." And yet just this week we witnessed the House GOP strip the farm bill of food stamps for the poor, which meant that the legislation was composed almost entirely of subsidies for farmers and corporations.

Right, we need to have another Liberal Race Baiter for POTUS, in fact they have a running platform now since Oblammer was born/created/elected for it, their next nominee can be white and still get away with it...

I agree with you that there is a cyclical dimension to national politics... but that is not the only dynamic in play now. There is a rather rapid shift in demographics happening and that may very well disrupt the cycle. If white Americans, as a segment of the population, are declining, and the hispanic, black and asian segments are growing, the fact that those non-white segments are tilted heavily in the democrat's favor does not bode well for a cyclical republican resurgence, imho.
 
Blackhawk, every one gets the 'cycle' thing, huh.

Fakey wake up, we currently have a liberal POTUS, in fact he believes you have too much and suggest to the under privileged that you give it up...

To Issa's credit, he is one of the few GOP types who has supported meaningful health care reform.
