Americans favor Tea Party principles over progressive ideas by 2-to-1 margin | The Daily Caller sorry, but its not a minority view.
Since TeaPs make up about 20% and Progressives about 15% of the country, the poll is meaningless.
The TeaPs are at their all time low, as is Congress and the GOP in Congress, far lower than Obama's popularity.
Yes, the American population far more approves of the mainstream proposals than those of the weirdo TeaPs on the far right and the equally weirdo progs on the far left.
Jindal is a non-starter as a serious candidate for President. His only real hope is some serious self-implosion/choosing-not-to-run by the heavyweights in the Party (no pun intended at Christie and Gingrich).
I would have to agree with you there.
I mean if you can say something about Governor Jindal to a Conservative or even a Republican in the state of Louisiana ... And they don't start laughing ... Then you would be the first.
People elsewhere only see what Governor Jindal makes sure they see ... He supports legislation that gets him National headlines ... Trying to fool people into believing he is something that he isn't.
It is true he can win an election in the state of Louisiana ... Hell, people like me voted for him ... But only because who he runs against are absolute nutcases and it would be hard for some Democrats down here to get elected in Vermont.

does congress work for us or do we work for them? you seem to think they should be the ones telling us what to do.
Congress works for us as we have the power to remove the entire House every 2 years and 1/3 of the Senate every 2 years as well.
Do I think we work for them?
Not at all but if you don't like the way your congressperson votes, you should vote them out of office, move to another district/state, or try to explain to them why they are not representing your views;
Not short-circuit the system by calling for a national referendum to impose your will on the minority.
move to another district because your politician is not doing his job? that seems a little inconvenient to the citizen.
but what you are really saying here is the majority rules, because the majority will vote in or out who ever does their bidding.
in the end, the minority is imposed on or moves to another district. in either scenario the minority gets imposed upon.
yawn
one more fakey "republican"
lying is ingrained into any leftard, plus the inability to hide their own stupidity
fact is we have never had such an epic fail in the WH as we have now
You mean except for bush.
Frankly, when Bush became president, we had surpluses, peace, prosperity, 3% unemployment.
When he left, we had wars, ruined cities, huge deficits, 10% unemployment...
that's EPIC FAIL.
I just can't see how any sane person can say, "Wow, Bush was doing a great job, and then Obama came along."
Actually if you want to look at 3% unemployment rate, you'd have to go all the way back to 1952. The highest unemployment figures President George W. Bush saw was 6%. President Obama could only dream of such numbers as he walked into 5.8% in 2008 and his lowest achievement was 8.1%. Figures are according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Data 16 years and older, government link below. A success story for this administration?

Guy, you're numbers are wrong, as usual.
Unemployment was at 7.8% when Bush left office in disgrace in January 2009. The Dow was at 6000. We were hemoraging half a million jobs a month.
Right now, it's at 7.3, the Dow is at a record high. We are out of Iraq and will soon be out of Afghanistan.
Perfect? No. A damn sight better than it was? You betcha!

The definition of unemployment has changed also. Numbers have been skewed to look better. And part time jobs are a poor replacement for salaries.

I believe that was more of a swipe at the notion that the Tea Party is more of an organized influence and factor in Washington D.C. than finding elected officials of the Occupy Wallstreet movement. Interesting how you don't hear a strong representation and voice from the "Occupy" group much anymore.

Not at all. OWS was a democratic created expression to counter the TPM's influence in 2012.
While I am glad it flattened the TPM (lost 1/2 their seats), I am unhappy that it managed to paint MR as a plutocrat wanting to put children into slave labor.
We are watching the TPM's influence out on the far right shrink as the expression misplayed its cards in September and October.
If ACA 2.0 and 3.0 and 4.0 keep getting better with each fix, the TPM's influence will keep shrinking.
Step one, step back and look at the full picture, Obama was not the worst, Bush was probably worse or the same, BUT EITHER WAY - they are all puppets of the establishment. last time I voted was for a democrat in 2004, (made a speech about that YouTube search: pvsi - Intelligent people and the biggest criminals. ) but I despise them no less than you I swear.I have been thinking about doing this post for a long time, and really didn't know how to approach it. I hate fucking Obama. He is the worst President in my lifetime.
Those aren't my numbers Joe, as usual you don't consider the source. Are you now stating your numbers are more accurate than a government BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS site? Perhaps you'd like to take another look before you answer that question. I stand by my information.

You're putting up numbers that aren't seasonally adjusted, if you look at numbers that are it reflects the 7.8% and 7.3% statistics, even from the same source

back to the OP.
What does the GOP need to do to win in 14 and 16??
Basically nothing, just sit back quietly and watch as the dems implode and self destruct with obama as their leader and obamacare as their only "accomplishment".
Then in the campaigns post the videos of all of them lying about ACA, Benghazi, the IRS spying, the NSA spying, the huge debt increases, how they were going to cut unemploymnet, etc'
and for a bonus show Hillary screaming "what difference does it make" and doing her fake black accent "ah ain't no ways tarred".
What a bunch of buffoons, The GOP only needs to present a sane alternative to the idiots who have been in control since 08.
I have been thinking about doing this post for a long time, and really didn't know how to approach it. I know those on the left will use it as a tool to bash those on the right, but that would be a mistake. This is what I think the Republicans need to do in order to win national elections.
1. Be Inclusive. The message should always be the Republican Party represents all people, whether they are currently voting for you are not. It is completely stupid to me that Blacks vote 95% Democrat, particularly when you see what the Democrats have not done for blacks over the years...but you cannot concede any vote, and you have to reach out to everyone.
2. Stop With the Nutty Social Agenda. America is a center/right Country. Americans are generally tolerant people. If you are strongly Christian and those values inform your life, that's great. But not everyone sees the world the way you do, and not everyone wants your values shoved down their throat. When the Republican Party becomes about sticking wands up a woman's vagina, and talking about "legitimate rape," you've lost just about everyone in America.
3. Don't be So Rigid Ideologically. Stop with the RINO bullshit. Ideologically pure candidates have never gotten elected to National office. Dennis Kucinich anyone? Republicans have always stood for limited Government, self-reliance, a strong national defense, and fiscal responsibility. That should encompass a big tent. Stop excluding people because they are not pure enough. That is crazy and stupid. A guy like Peter King fits that definition. Chris Christie fits that definition. Lindsey Graham fits that definition. If they are not pure enough for you...consider the alternative. Obummer or Hillary? Get off your high horse.
[/B][/I]
4. You have to be about More than Hating Obama. Let me be clear. I hate fucking Obama. He is the worst President in my lifetime. His policies are destroying America. I loathe the man. Many of you feel the same way. However, the Republican Party needs to be about more than Hating Obama. While the hatred is justified...you have to present a positive alternative or it just comes across as bitter and spiteful.
Okay folks. That's it. Have fun tearing this apart.
