Even if we lose in November we have won a VICTORY!

The people of the Republican Party have shown the elitist in the party that if we the people pull together we can beat them. I pray there days of ignoring what the people of the party want is over. Trump outsmarted Washington!  I now hope the party returns to its roots.  I also hope that Trump is more PROGRESSIVE than conservative (a moderate). I would love to try a PROGRESSIVE conservative in the White House for a while. I do not want  a PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL Democrat or phony Republican elitist that does not know what he or she is in the White House. GO TRUMP! Win or lose in November I thank you for knocking my party leaders on their rear ends!!!!!!!! It is time politician once again realize the people are in charge of our future not them.  

Don't Let the establishment tell you how to vote!

I do not understand why so many Americans are so gullible. For over thirty years the Republican and Democrat Parties have promised us the same thing every election cycle and NEVER DELIVER!

Both parties have a candidate in 2016 that will promise to bring change and yet those that complain the most continue to support the old political bosses that have caused the problems. I am not a supporter of Bernie Sanders because I want nothings to do with Socialism or a Welfare State. I cannot say for sure that Donald Trump will deliver, but at least he has not promised me or you change for thirty years like the establishment and never delivered. I am willing to give him a chance!

I could care less what Mitt Romney thinks of Donald Trump it was Mitt Romney that failed us in 2012 not Donald Trump. I could care less what Karl Rowe thinks of Donald Trump he has failed us in every election since Bush and not Donald Trump. Rubio and Cruz can be bought if not the establishment would not be willing to get behind them. The establishment know they cannot buy or control Donald Trump. President Trump will take to the media and twitter if the Republican and Democrat establishment do not deliver and they know it.

If the Republican Party is to remain vital, then it is, in the truest sense, vital that we understand change is necessary and the establishment does not want change because they will lose control of the party.

The Republican Party must adapt to the needs of the people if it is to survive.  The Republican establishment must begin to listen to the people instead of giving us lip service. Anyone with a brain knows that things cannot continue as they are if America is going to have a chance to once again become the country it once was.

The establishment has done everything they can for years to prevent change and the Republican Party has slowly been taking it last breathes. A man like Donald Trump comes along and Primary turnout is greater than it has ever been before. He has given the party a chance for a new life.

The young people have left the Republican Party because it has become boring, unchanging, and irrelevant and does nothing to make their personal lives better. The Republican Party establishment is totally unconnected to the life experiences of the average American.

We became a party unelectable in 2008 and 2012 with establishment candidates and will do the same in 2016 if we do not take back our party.

Donald Trump brings hope to the American people while the establishment continue to backbite, point fingers and fall out blaming each other for the party’s failures. The ones at the top of our party have lost sight of the outside world (outside Washington) they figure if it is good for those running Washington it is good for all of us. Was it not Cruz on the floor of the Senate calling Mitch McConnell a liar – and Cruz speaks of RESPECT! It is the party establishment losing us elections not the party faithful. The institution is costing us elections. Cruz is a hypocrite, liar and snake!

In any organization if you are to keep the main thing the main thing it is inedible that at some point you have to initiate change. The people are no longer the main thing for the established party leaders Democrat or Republican. Let us gamble on Donald Trump and kick the establishment out and maybe at least have a chance he will deliver what we have been promised for decades and never gotten.

It is time Karl Rowe takes his little white chalk board and goes home. I am sick of his acting like a political pundit that knows what is best for America. You and your buddy Chaney gave us Iraq, McCain and Mitt Romney and they all cost us elections.

The United States does not need Bernie Sanders.

I think Hillary will have to start attacking Sanders for his 1980 era. He was a representative for the Socialist Party which at the time had ties to the Communist Party. He was actually part of the revolutionary Socialist Party. He was tied to a guy name Pulley. They called for solidarity with Iran and Cuba. They wanted President Carter to turn over the Shah of Iran to the mullahs. They both called for eliminating all U.S. Military operations and the C.I.A. They also wanted the rail, oil and automobile industries nationalized. They supported Ortega.  You would like the fact they wanted people to work a 30 hour week and be paid for 40 hours. Sanders said in the 80’s the U.S. was a dying society and the sooner it died the better the world would be. Sanders has proposed raising payroll taxes, income taxes, estate taxes, and capital gains taxes to help cover all the stuff he wants to give away. I think he may have mellowed since the 80’s, but I am surprised since Hillary is losing to him they are not using the 80’s against him. Of course the young voter would not remember those things and probably would not care. 

I am really surprised the Republican candidates are not going after him harder.  If they think he will be easier to beat than Clinton I think they are wrong. People love the myth of getting something for nothing.

Regardless of what you may have thought of the Shah of Iran he supported the interest of Americans for over thirty years and our relationships in the Middle East were certainly better than they are today. If you do not like the present government medical care you really will not like Bernie Sanders medical care. If the government cannot run V.A. Hospitals how do you expect them to run all the hospitals in the United States? If you work or have friends or relatives working in the oil, rail, automobile industries how well do you think they will do with the government taking control of them? Are you really pleased with Obama's secret Iran deal - Bernie is! If you are upset with the present National Debt how happy will you be with Bernie adding 19 trillion more to it to pay for all his freebies. I don't know about you, but I do not want increased taxes and that is how Bernie will pay for his birth to grave guarantees. 

==The Democrat elitists in the party decided they definitely did not need Bernie Sanders. Even though what they did to keep him out was dishonest it was probably the smartest move they have made in nearly eight years.

Tea Party in Congress -Breathe of Fresh Air

I am so glad that the debt ceiling question is settled.  I was beginning to worry that the Tea Party Members of Congress would not strike “any” type of compromise and cause the country to go into default.  The fact they held out until the end and did compromise cause me to respect them even more.  They may be the” Knights on the White Horse” for the United States.  Our only hope is that they gain Senate and House seats in the next election.

I am sure John Boehner, Harry Reid and the rest of the old guard were shocked when they discovered the elected Tea Party candidates meant what they said during their campaign.  I am sure they thought when the newly elected Tea Party members got to Washington they would forget their promise and become one of the “Good Ole Boys.”   Why would” ANYONE” believe a politician would keep his or her campaign promises once elected – Obama certainly did not?

Not even a staunch Democrat can forget or deny that President Obama’s Democratic Party had control of all three branches of government the first two years of his term and should have been able to get anything passed.  Obviously President Obama did not mean the things he said on the campaign trail or his own party thought his ideas were bad. 

A few of the campaign promises President Obama forgot once elected: 1. Increase the Capital gains and dividends taxes for higher- income taxpayers. If he wanted to do that why did the Democrats not do it in the first two years? 2. Expand the child dependent care credit. 3. Create a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners. 4. End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 a year. 5. End all Federal no-bid contracts above $25,000. 6. Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher income. If he wanted to do that why did the Democrats not do it in the first two years? 7. Phase out exemptions and deductions for higher earners. If he wanted to do that why did the Democrats not do it in the first two years? 8. Sign the Employee Free Choice Act, making it easier for workers to unionize. 9. Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses. 10. Allow workers to claim more in unpaid wages and benefits in bankruptcy court. 11. Allow imported prescription drugs. 12. Appoint federal-level coordinator to oversee all federal autism efforts. 13. Reduce earmarks to 1994 levels. 13. Enact windfall profits tax for oil companies. 14. Create cap and trade system with interim goals to reduce global warming. 15. Require plug-in fleet at the White House. 16. Provide an annual report on “states of our energy future”. 17. Recognize the Armenian genocide. 18. See to it that NO family making less than $250,000 will get “ANY form of tax increase.” 19. Negotiate health care reform in public sessions televised on C-SPAN. 20.  Introduce a comprehensive immigration bill in the FIRST year of his term.   These are only twenty of his many promises that he did not keep.

The BIGGEST promise that President Obama did not keep and the one that I think got him elected was he would bring CHANGE to Washington D.C. Things would be done differently and he would bring about a halt to partisan politics because he was not the TYPICAL politician Americans have had to endure for generations.   He is the most partisan president we have had in my life time.

I do not agree with some of the freshmen members of the Tea Party when they claim they got what they wanted.  They did not get what the Tea Party wanted for the cuts did not go deep enough nor do the major cuts take effect soon enough.  I do think they got all they could get without putting the U.S. Government in default and I think the 2/3’s of the freshmen members who supported the bill realized that.

The Tea Party members did get conversations started in the House and Senate on “Cut, Cap and Balance”, “Balanced Budget Amendment”, “Entitlement Cuts” and critical conversations on the Obama Health Care Bill. The Tea Party members did accomplish enough good that the Democrats will definitely try to destroy their creditability over the next 16 months and perhaps even some Republicans will.

The United States is on the road to becoming like Greece.  Only the American people can prevent it and they can only prevent it by electing a new breed of politicians to local, state and federal government.  If they do not then we deserve what we get.

I have heard the argument that the Republicans want to push grandma off the cliff and do not care about the sick and poor and I do not buy it.  The Democrats cannot keep giving away what we no longer have.  The approach to cut and save the social programs we can is far better than NO SOCIAL PROGRAMS at all and that is exactly what will happen with President Obama’s Socialist Government and the Democrats programs to buy votes.
