Indeed ... the GOP has much work ahead of it ... the first order of business ought to be eschew delusion and come on back to the reality that the rest of us inhabit ...

And if you wish to understand how exactly Fox News misrepresents and perverts the truth to drive an agenda, read the following - which is part of series that critically examines Fox's coverage and the problems with it: Fox News and Benghazi video: For real?

Is this - and "I think not" - the best ya got to address all of what I posted in this thread ? ... "seems like cover up" ? Really ... ? As far as an answer, a case could be made that he did answer ... but not in a way which would allow his political opponents to exploit it ... As far as...

The feeding frenzy begins - I'll have a leg ... and please pass the gravy: It Is Time to Throw the Social Conservatives Out of the GOP Gawd how I do love schadenfreude when it comes to the 'tards in the GOP ...

Incorrect evaluation of importances - it ain't the money, it's the message. If you think otherwise, I'd suggest you drop the Koch Brothers or Shelly Adelson a line and ask them just how well their "investments" worked out this time around. Or Karl Rove ... give him a call ... you probably...

In this particular election that was true - but that doesn't mean it will continue to be true into the future ;) In terms of being "competitive" I would assume that you mean competitive enough to actually win the Presidency, control of a chamber of a legislative body at either the state or...

What you should really concern yourself with is not whether they are competitive or not (unless you are on onboard with 'em) ... but whether their mere existence makes your party uncompetitive at the Presidential level ... as in: permanently uncompetitive. By the way ... how do you like it now ? :D

First off, it would be s-o-u-r-c-e-s (plural) ... not source (singular) My guess is that what I quoted in my initial post on Clarridge (which is based off of his wikipedia page) is accurate, as to factual details (indeed - it's mostly documented fact) My characterizations of "Dewey" are my own...

Guaranteed ... I would count myself among them. There is, however, a huge difference between recognizing and acknowledging it in oneself, and denying it ... particularly when that denial is to oneself. With the former, a person at least has a fighting chance to rise above it ... with the...

Reality or delusion (with accompanying irrelevance) - your choice GOP'ers: Did William Kristol Cost Romney the Election?

It's not intended to "counter" anything - merely to point out the present reality extant within the GOP ... Well, perception is reality ... suffice it to say, that you and I perceive it somewhat differently ;) My take on Powell's endorsement is he was seeing, in foresight, a road he had...

I prefer the alternative explanation, which I deem to be a far more accurate characterization of reality, rather than the "spin" you offer:

Oh ... SNAP ... looky here at who was trying to "shop" a Benghazi narrative (likely of highly dubious quality :rolleyes:): Bob Woodward Says Romney Allies Brought Benghazi Source To His Home

Yeah, well ... you might wanna hold on to that thought really tightly ... and never, ever forget ... I have a feeling - unless something really changes - you'll be needing to revisit it quite often in the coming years to contain the bubbling rage, calm your increasingly fraying nerves, and that...

An opinion (in terms of the causation) which you are certainly entitled to. However, correlation does not equal causation - so you're operating on a logical fallacy. I also wouldn't characterize more doubling the amount of votes one's candidate received over the prior election as "bumped up a...

Allen West needs to be in the firm caress of a straightjacket and secured in a room that has ample rubber padding ... so that he can't hurt himself or anyone else ...

True - but it sure looks like they could use a few more people who could be correctly characterized as small "L" libertarians ... along with a few moderates. That's a logical fallacy ... because it assumes that Johnson was on the ballot everywhere (apparently he wasn't) ... and that all...

Yeah ... except for the libertarian aspect of it. The change in demographics, while it disfavors Republicans, actually somewhat favors libertarians ... as evidenced by the fact Johnson drew the largest number of votes for a libertarian candidate ever. The trend is that since 2000 the...

. Unless something changes within the party, yeah, pretty much ... Republican yes, the others not so much. While the candidate plays a part (with Romney being perhaps nearly the worst in all possible worlds in this particular environment) it is what the party is perceived to stand for (not...

Benghazi ... The interesting question about the Benghazi "scandal" is: cui bono ? (who benefits ?) Certainly not the Big O ... The Repuglicans and Mittens are an entirely different matter however ... Maybe a little "October Surprise" intentionally designed to change the outcome of a...
