"Libs are the party of divisiveness b/c they focus on race, sex, religion..."

Would you accept the label if the same logic was applied to Republicans: "Republicans are the party of divisiveness b/c they focus on guns..." Pretty stupid argument, right?

It's silly that you can use the fact that almost all other demographics of voters that aren't White males are turned off by your policies as proof that the other side is somehow playing unfair. Pull your head out of your a$$es and recognize that there's something wrong w/ your message, not the voters.

Why does the party that trumpets their understanding of Economics seems oblivious to its most basic principle: Supply & Demand. What you're supplying, the voters don't want. Don't blame the consumer, blame the product.

Sorry Eddie... It's impossible to discuss ethical and honest politics with anyone from Chicago.

Taking advice from a ******* on how to run a conservative party is like taking advice on how to make million dollar hit records, one after the other, from Zager & Evans.

To put it in terms a lib can understand: We don't need or want your advice.

I, for one, applaud you. I'm dismayed that anyone would actually try to get you folks to answer the Clue Phone. I LIKE that you're too stupid and stubborn to recognize your own stupidity and stubbornness. PLEASE never change! The harder you double down on failed policies, the more irrelevant you become to the rest of us. I couldn't be happier!

By all means, keep insulting large sectors of the electorate. It's been working so well for you guys. Women, Latinos, blacks, retirees, police, teachers, firefighters, union members. The GOP doesn't need their votes.

This is the stupidity YOU need to realize:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship." - Prof. Alexander Frazer Tytler

As a fellow North Texan, I'd suggest you reign in that pointer finger. We have w-a-y more than our share of political scandals and corrupt politicians.

Personally, I hope Republicans KEEP running for the angry rural white man and CONTINUE to reject policies of inclusiveness and humanity towards women, minorities, and immigrants. That way their continued failure is basically guaranteed as they continue to hitch their wagon to a shrinking demographic and keep watching with the E-trade baby shocked face (WHAAAAAAAA????) as the Democratic Party continues to hitch its wagon to a continually growing demographic and it shows up in election results.

So keep on your same intolerant message, right wing! I'm going to LOVE seeing you run a staunchly conservative candidate in 2016 against Hillary for President and watch your eyes buck and heads spin when you see those election results! LOL

After the way your Party treated Ron Paul, I was jumping and dancing when Mitt the Robot got defeated, sitting at his election party watching the election results talking about "Does Not Compute, Does Not Compute." So yeah, you guys keep taking advice from within your right wing echo chamber and keep on-message, insisting that it's GOTTA work next time, it's just GOTTA GOTTA! New GOP strategy to increase the Latino vote- get tougher and ultra conservative on illegal immigration. New GOP strategy to increase the female vote- ultra conservative campaign on outlawing all abortions and on overturning Fair Pay Act. Add to Party Platform- giving women increased job flexibility to leave work early to go home and cook. LOL

All those voting blocs you mentioned aren't very intelligent it seems. They never heard this before and are about to find out:


“Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.” – Benjamin Franklin
