		<description><![CDATA[Excellent points, UV. 
I would also suggest a corollary to that, based on numerous discussions from my fellow conservatives who can&#039;t seem to grasp your perspective. To wit, that you vote closest to your heart ONLY
during primaries ... but get over it if &quot;your guy&quot; couldn’t muster the numbers by convention time. 
Sure, I would have preferred that Romney not been a Mormon – if only to keep my shortsighted brothers in Christ from pouting or voting third party. But Romney&#039;s views on amnesty (“immigration
reform” by its true name) and ObamaCare alone were more than ample reasons not to sit at home ... in protest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;This means that Republicans have to decide whether their top priority is
 internal strife among the different wings of the party — another 
circular firing squad — or whether either wing puts the country first.&quot;


Place scorpions in a ring of fire and they will sting themselves to death. This is Obama&#039;s strategy for the Republicans. Actually it&#039;s not his strategy but that of his handlers. He&#039;s not smart enough to emulate a Vladimir Lenin, but the Wizard behind the curtain is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;ObamaCare, however, has no such immunity. It is always hard to repeal an
 elaborate program after it has gone into effect. But Prohibition was 
repealed, even though it was a Constitutional Amendment that required 
super-majorities in both houses of Congress and super-majorities of 
state legislatures to repeal.&quot;


At least Prohibition offered some benefits to society. Obamacare offers none.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;He has three more years in office and, as he pointed out to the Russians, he will no longer have to face the American voters.&quot;


The voters made a mistake in 2008 and 2012 and all of us have and will pay for it for 8 long, tortuous, painful years. Our constitutional and legal system provides no remedies against a Black President, so we are truly stuck with him for 3 more years. It&#039;s like a prison sentence, whether you were guilty or innocent. You will serve the time for the crime, except in this case there is no parole possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Those who have still not yet seen through Barack Obama will have many 
more opportunities to do so during the coming year, as the medical, 
financial and other painful human consequences of ObamaCare keep coming 
out in ways so clear that not even the mainstream media can ignore them 
or obscure them.&quot;


God willing, Obamacare will be the Frankenstein monster that turns on its Creator so that our lives may be spared and improved!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As always, Dr. Sowell is spot on! 

People are finally starting to see what we&#039;ve been saying about Obama and this Administration all along. Why these idiots are shocked is beyond me. Politicians lie----Obama is no different.
The Most Transparent Administration in History. Yeah....right.


Throw All Establishment Bums Out in 2014!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As all can see now, progressive on the both sides of the aisle  are at last as harmful. 

And I would add that the only way to stop the temper tantrums of abusive power is  acting with courage.
But decency is also required in both parties.]]></description>

I&#039;ve been saying the same thing (and even got a response from Dustin Stockton; still waiting for one from Karl Rove), but you have way more credibility than I.  I think that we need some articulate bridge-builders from both sides of the conservative ideological to develop a strategy that will help us win, and then sell it to the country.  The stakes for the country are too high for anything less.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Sowell has been on target for as long as I can remember and that&#039;s a long time.
His logic and prophecies, like those of honest men and women throughout history
bode disaster if ignored. My experience tells me that the Republicans will fumble
the ball because too many of them want to remain at the royal court in DC,
regardless of the consequences.  Until we dump the likes of Mitch McConnell and John Boehner (the go-along-to-get-along crowd) and the GOP stops looking for the magic, all things to all people, candidate, like Chris Christy, their base will continue to erode. The party had best embrace quickly the conservative wing and develop a joint strategy to push back and defeat the DNC or liberty dies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The question is, will the GOP bite the hand that feeds it? The political machinery that keeps both sides of the aisle populated with big government protagonists will spend plenty of dough to ensure the statists remain seated. Any attempts by the right to turn around this multifaceted lib/prog train wreck will be flaccid, at best. Another door to massive government expansion was opened with the passage of the ACA and Obomba&#039;s new standard for Constitutional end-arounds is not offensive to those in the business of &quot;governing&quot;. The dog and pony show leading up to the 2014 elections will be the most expensive and elaborate fictional production to date.]]></description>
