“Public is not yet sold on GOP”

We’re doomed. As a country, I mean.

The press is no longer interested in hiding its progressive propaganda interests; we’re in a civil war, people. And “our” side is losing.

Best to keep that in mind.

(h/t Andrew Malcolm)

    I think the fact that a significant number of people do not believe anything the MFM says might give us some slim hope. The MFM expects us to capitulate, if for no other reason than sheer weariness. We must be vigilant.

  2. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I don’t think the MFM gives a flying f**K what those of us in Codevilla’s country party do so much as they want to remind the Republican political establishment where its real interests lie.

  3. Bob Reed says:

    So the WaPo is one of the Democrat’s mouthpices, and Dana Milbank is one of it’s chief prophets of propaganda; will wonders never cease!

    I knew this would be coming in advance of the new members being seated and actually legislating. And I’m not surprised that this is being trumpeted now as a diversion to the agenda being pursued by the lame-duck congress.

    Tea-party voters probably don’t trust these folks any more than most people, so this have little effect or utility save to provide talking points for holiday family fueds.

    Better to wait and see what happens after the new representatives are sworn in, in my humble opinion.

    Guess I’d better look into applying for citizenship in the new Republic of Texas. I ain’t cheering for the Cowgirls, though. Living in a third-world hellhole would be better.

  5. LTC John says:

    As one headline I saw said “Poll against GOP, before they are seated…”

    Here’s a former Cowgirl Squid. Surely a cheer or two wouldn’t be an imposition, would it?

  7. cranky-d says:

    Once I move to Texas, I’ll have to root for the Texans instead of the Cowgirls. Some things are beyond the pale.

  8. sdferr says:

    Oh, yeah, boo, ’cause beyond the pale, i.e. too much suntan.

  9. Ernst Schreiber says:

    There’s always the Black Hills. Nobody roots for the cowboys there.

  10. Squid says:

    Those aren’t the football players, sdferr.

    Though I can see as how you might be confused, considering.

  11. Squid says:

    I love that article, Ernst.

    Lakota teen suicides are 150 per cent above the norm for the U.S.; infant mortality is five times higher than the U.S. average; and unemployment is rife, according to the Lakota freedom movement’s website.

    Why would anyone want to join the Lakota nation, when this is what they’re offering?

  12. sdferr says:

    He’s a cute Wisconsonian, ain’t he? Go you Badgers, take your country back from the proggs you foisted on them, consarndit.

  13. Ernst Schreiber says:

    No taxes squid!

  14. Squid says:

    What would be awesome is if Illinois took over SE Wisconsin as far as Madison and Milwaukee, and Minnesota got everything north and west. Then we’d have enough sane people to out-vote the sheep in the Cities, and Chicago would gain a couple extra suburbs.

    What’s not to like?

  15. Ernst Schreiber says:

    On a serious note though. Take a hard look at the rez. That’s what it looks like when everyone is either a ward of the government, or a warder for the government or a government warden. That’s the future. And as happy might say, it’s failshit.

    I find your defeatism disgusting and denounce you.

    OUTLAW!

  17. Squid says:

    OUTLAW LABELS!

  18. Ernst Schreiber says:

    There’s an awful lot of insanity on the range, Squid. You might have to fold in eastern Dakota just to be sure.

  19. bh says:

    The Badgers are Rose Bowl bound, btw. Which is good because my t-shirt from their last trip is looking pretty sketchy by now.

    I think I’d need to see where your west/east dividing line was before I’d agree, Squid. If you wanted to take everything west of Stevens Point, I’d probably be copacetic.

  20. cranky-d says:

    I wish the Lakota G-dspeed on their quest for independence from these united states. It will never happen in reality, though perhaps they will end up with the appearance of independence.

  21. Ernst Schreiber says:

    perhaps they will end up with the appearance of independence.

    If it’s good enough for the rest of us…

  22. cranky-d says:

    True enough, Ernst.

  23. Swen says:

    Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

    So.. Keep a stiff upper lip. And speaking of stiff upper lips, Regis has competition. It seems that Sen. Tom Coburn’s beard has its own Twitterfeed. The bio self-describes “as the “peppered” beard that clings to the senator’s face.”

    Hey! With god and Senator Coburn’s beard on our side, how could we possibly lose, hmmm??

  24. ThomasD says:

    Russell Means is equal parts respected, and despised in Indian Country, mainly because he is perpetually working from the same tired old script. It has the usual benefits of familiarity, but also all of the negatives that come with any re-run. I do wish him luck in getting his people to stop cashing their Mother’s day check every month. Even if it is the 21st century equivalent of the Ghost Dance.

  25. serr8d says:

    This has to be an example of a writer paid by the word. The only reason he quit was he put himself to sleep proofreading the thing.

  26. sdferr says:

    Missed this post then, huh?

  27. newrouter says:

    No Nouns Now

  28. serr8d says:

    I miss a lot of ’em, unfortunately. I put in 50-hour weeks, then a bit more at home. Work never stops for a hungry capitalist~!

    That article I spotted just today in RCP’s Morning Edition.

  29. Mikey NTH says:

    So…did anyone here think that this was going to take just one election cycle, or that it would take about 50+ years?

    50+ years is my vote. This didn’t happen overnight.

  30. happyfeet says:

    if it takes fifty years we may as well just chuck this whole failed America concept and start over

  31. serr8d says:

    Patience, ‘feets. Rome wasn’t sacked in a day.

  32. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Rome wasn’t sacked in a day.

    No. It took Alaric three, but he was in a hurry to get to Sicily for the winter.

    Gaiseric on the other hand, took his time, two weeks, and did it right.
