Pew: 65% of independents say GOP is ‘out of touch’
At a time when the Republican Party’s image is at a historic low, 62% of the public says the GOP is out of touch with the American people, 56% think it is not open to change and 52% say the party is too extreme….
Republicans are more critical of their party than Democrats are of theirs on most issues. For example, 36% of Republicans say the GOP is out of touch with the American people. Just 23% of Democrats say their party is out of touch. And while 30% of Republicans say their party is not open to change, just 10% of Democrats make the same criticism of their party.
However, Republicans overwhelmingly credit their party for having strong principles; 85% say the GOP has strong principles while 13% say it does not. And 80% of Republicans say their party is looking out for the country’s long-term future.
————————————
Among independents, 65 percent say the GOP is out of touch with the American people, and just 39 percent say the party is open to change.
Meanwhile, in Washington, House Speaker John Boehner says that his party will refuse to consider any budget solution that includes increased revenue. “Higher tax rates are not the answers to our problems,” he told the Credit Union National Association. “Spending is the problem, and spending cuts are the solution.”

“Feds free illegal immigrants in Georgia, other states” – And let the flood gates open!
The Campaigner is making “his” mark on the country.
What an interesting time we’re in, a community organizer becomes POTUS and get’s to live “HIS” dream, not once, but, twice. Well god love him, apparently the majority of this country believes in him and his philosophy. Should’ve been a used car salesman, “all form, no substance”.

CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL EMOTION OVER REASON ……. AND IT WILL COST LIVES.
Headline (FOX): “Is President Obama willing to draft women”
A) “The Obama administration framed its decision to put women into combat as a matter of choice and fairness.
In 1981, the Supreme Court upheld a males-only draft registration law for one reason alone: “Since women are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be needed in the event of a draft.
Obama has just single-handedly gutted the legal rationale for excluding women from the draft.”
B) “Congress must use its power to find out the truth about women in combat. Three questions must be raised, and the data collected to answer them:
1. What is the cost to military effectiveness of sending women into combat?
2. What is the cost to the taxpayer per successful woman recruit compared to male combat troops?
3. Finally, what is the cost to the physical and mental health of young women themselves, compared to male soldiers?”
C) “Even with sharply lowered physical standards for women in the Army, for example, women’s failure, injury, and attrition rates are much higher than men’s. (Meaning that the cost of recruiting one female soldier is much higher). Women soldiers also have higher rates of hospitalization for mental disorders and also higher rates of evacuation from the field for psychiatric reasons, a 2011 review of the medical literature by Dr. Fatma Batuman and colleagues showed.
And then there’s the fact that at least one out of ten active-duty women soldiers is pregnant, unintentionally each year. A 2013 study by Kate Grindlay and Daniel Grossman found that almost 11 percent of women soldiers said they had been pregnant unintentionally in the past year.
If one out of ten men were unavailable for combat each year because of an unexpected medical condition, our military would literally be decimated.”
D) “Listen hard to Marine Capt. Katie Petronio, who was deployed twice under combat conditions with the engineering corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. “My main concern is a question of longevity,” she wrote in the Marine Corps Gazette, “At the beginning of my tour in Helmand Province, I was physically capable of conducting combat operations for weeks at a time.”
However, “By the fifth month into the deployment, I had muscle atrophy in my thighs that was causing me to constantly trip and my legs to buckle with the slightest grade change. My agility during firefights and mobility on and off vehicles and perimeter walls was seriously hindering my response time and overall capability. It was evident that stress and muscular deterioration was affecting everyone regardless of gender; however, the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines and further compounded by gender-specific medical conditions.”
Petronio lost 17 pounds and is now infertile.
This happened even though she was carrying a fraction of the physical load men carried.”

Every once in awhile the truth slips out ……….. Liberalism = Intolerance !
Headline: “Liberal media will ‘shut you down, stab you, kill you, fire you’ if you disagree”
“Fox News political analyst and “Special Report” panelist JUAN WILLIAMS said in an interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas that mainstream media outlets “stab” and “kill” dissenting voices.”
“I always thought it was the Archie Bunkers of the world, the right-wingers of world, who were more resistant and more closed-minded about hearing the other side,” he said. “In fact, what I have learned is, in a very painful way — and I can open this shirt and show you the scars and the knife wounds — is that it is big media institutions who are identifiably more liberal to left-leaning who will shut you down, stab you and kill you, fire you, if they perceive that you are not telling the story in the way that they want it told.”

mick,
The presidents most important priority is national security. Gates had previously cut 500 billion out of defense due to our disengagement in Iraq and winding down of military operations in Afghanistan. The sequester takes additional billions of dollars out of defense, which is concerning at a time where America sees many potential adversaries even those who’ve returned from the past. This isn’t a good time to cut the military any further and that’s why I think the C-n-C should have budget transfer authority to ensure our national defense capability isn’t compromised by this looming sequester.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/02/republican-sequestration-plan.html”
Republicans all agree that taxes are bad, defense spending cuts are bad, and some unspecified entitlement cuts would be good. The conservative media offer a window into the thinking of the Republican Party, and I follow it fairly closely. To read conservative pundits, Obama’s demand is higher taxes, full stop. Conservatives are not rejecting Obama’s offer. They are refusing to consider it at all. They will endorse Boehner’s impossible-to-attain goals, and they will denounce Obama’s imaginary all-tax alternative, and they will proclaim themselves ready to accept sequestration rather than submit to the socialist hell Obama would impose on them otherwise.
But consideration of the actual choice at hand — reduce tax deductions and cut Medicare and Social Security in a manner acceptable to Obama, versus seeing if Obama will cancel out sequestration with no replacement, versus accepting sequestration as permanent policy — is getting no hearing at all. I don’t know what Republicans will do, and I’m fairly sure they don’t either.

At some point in the near future, we will have to cut back on spending simply because our military will be out of Afghanistan and the weapons of war will not be needed as extensively.
However, we have a cyber-threat from the Chinese military that threatens to cripple our Information Technology systems that we depend on so heavily.
Without the civilian work force to help counter that threat, we will lose our military advantage. As you know, the Chinese have the world’s largest standing army and we can not stand and fight them using old school military tactics.

td I doubt that anyone here is surprised that you listen to rushbo- but you keep listening to that bag of hot air all day every day. But please don’t act like you have any idea what you are talking about. Try thinking for yourself once in awhile-

@td
Things must be difficult for you to employ critical thinking skills as you must use Rush Limbaugh to validate your point.
As you point out, you think that those in the 47% category have their hands out?
What about you and your hand outs? do you get tax breaks? tax deferments? employ tax lowering schemes as tax avoidance is illegal?
If yes to any of those questions, your hand out is much larger individually than those in the 47%.
Prove me wrong.

“You can not beat Santa Clause.”
Which talk show host hasn’t used that tired phrase?
YOU LOST………. Accept and live with it
Some of the very bloggers who say they get tired of hearing about the beat down Romney took, can’t themselves move on
Try it……
Maybe in 2020 or 24

2011 total family income:
Total Obama Romney
Under $30,000 20% 63% 35%
$30,000 – $49,999 21% 57% 42%
That’s where Romney lost the election. THere are more families earning $50k and less vs those making more. When you denigrate hard working people and paint them all as welfare recipients and moochers, you should be grateful that the worst thing they do is vote against your candidate of choice.

I’ve seen it before, but it is on again. Military channel as a documentary about Khe Shan and the valiant effort your brothers and the Army special forces put forth when the NVA was bringing the heat to take over that base.
And I’m gone

Do not forget to mention that as Medicaid spending keeps increasing in states that Education funding keeps getting cut. Obamanites believe that it is better to GIVE them FREE insurance at the cost of their children’s education.

All of you liberals including the all knowing JamVet, Keep, getalife, Granny and numerous others have been told lies. Don’t you have half of an objective brain to realize it? You have been lied to, not once, not twice but so many times as to wonder why you still listen to this clown. Then the common retort is , “Bush lied to more people than Bozo ever did”. You can hate Bush all you want, but the same lies he told don’t even hold a candle to what Bozo is doing. And you back this, fully knowing that the lies are being told every day….. every day with more and more credibility according to the liberal press who doesn’t hold him accountable. You don’t hold him accountable. You never have. What the hell is the matter with you?

It appears the per capita income in the USA at the end of 2011 was $42,000.
It makes on wonder if any of the so-called conservatives fall above or below that figure?
Seems like the numbers presented is not in line with what actually happens in the USA.

Ooooops !
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM ?? !!!!!!
HEADLINE (2/25/13): “Black Chamber of Commerce CEO on Obama: ‘I had hopes because he was black, shame on me’ ”
Black Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Harry C. Alford told The Daily Caller that he ”ignored” President Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment in 2008 and “had hopes” for him “because he was black.”
“I don’t really support him too well and he knows it and that’s a badge of honor. He’s bad. He’s bad and I supported him. I voted for him the first time around. I had hopes because he was black. Shame on me,” Alford told TheDC at the National Press Club after an anti-gun control news conference.
