Elections are about telling people who to vote for. It was not and has never been about individuals taking the field to fight one on one with their opponents.

The fact that Americans are deluded on what political elections mean in this system, is why they are losing to the Left’s superior power system. But loser dogs will howling to the moon about something or other.

Do you suppose she’s in the Jeb Bush camp and is furious with Romney for going after the same donors?

How condescending of Peggy Noonan. It occurs to me that this—“He is a smart, nice and accomplished man who thinks himself clever and politically insightful. He is not and will not become so.”—could apply much better to Peggy if you just change the pronouns to “she.”

He is a smart, nice and accomplished man who thinks himself clever and politically insightful. He is not and will not become so. He should devote himself to supporting and not attempting to lead the party that has raised him so high.

Rather nasty. And pretty darn rich coming from a Peggy who was once enthralled with Obama.

Almost makes me want to support Mitt for another try in 2016!

In 1865, with the Confederacy circling the drain and Sherman sweeping through the Carolinas towards Virginia, Jefferson Davis put General Joesph E Johnston in command of the Confederate army in North Carolina, such as it was. Johnston had failed in Virgina in 1862, he had failed in Mississippi in 1863, and he had failed in Georgia in 1864. But Davis really didn’t have anyone better, and at that point, it arguably didn’t make much difference anyway.

The Republican establishment is sending in their Joe Johnstons. It’s what they have, and they have no one better.

I have, in the past, argued against conservatives engaging in Kamikaze tactics. That having been said, I won’t be voting for Jeb or Mitt if one of them manages to be nominated. I am under no obligation to help the party commit suicide. I believe that that electability matters, but the fact is these guys can’t win. If the GOP nominates an unelectable candidate, then I would feel I had a duty NOT to vote for them, in the hope that the lesson would be learned. Voting for Jeb or Mitt in 2016 would be the equivalent of supporting Newt Gingrich or Herman Cain in 2012. We need a responsible, functional opposition party for the sake of the Republic. It is wrong to support a candidate who clearly can’t win. It is exactly the sort of futile, kamikaze gesture that I fear. These men are NOT electable, and telling the Republican establishment that you will vote for them is to encourage a reckless, irresponsible, and ultimately suicidal fantasy.

PIPES: Obama: ‘I have never been a Muslim’
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/sep/7/obama-i-have-never-been-a-muslim/

Hey Barack:

It was you who told an Islamic dinner — “I am one of you.”

It was you who on ABC News referenced — “My Muslim faith.”

It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.

It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict -“I will stand with the Muslims.”

It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that — “I am a Muslim.”

It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi king.

It was you who sat for 20yrs in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.

It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.

It was you who purposefully omitted — “endowed by our Creator” — from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.

It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the HOLY Quran.

It was you who traveled the Islamic world denigrating the United States Of America.

It was you who instantly threw the support of your administration behind the building of the Ground Zero Victory mosque overlooking the hallowed crater of the World Trade Center.

It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the WH.

It was you who ordered both Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested that the mosques you have visited adjust their decor.

It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to your Czar Corps.

It was you who appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.

It was you who said that NASA’s “foremost mission” was an outreach to Muslim communities.

It was you who as an Illinois Senator were the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.

It was you who were the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the WH, and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the WH tree.

It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.

It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.

It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.

It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.

It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
It was you who ordered the USPS to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.

It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help “empower” the British Muslim community.

It was you who embraced the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood in your quest to overthrow the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak.

It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across our country.

It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadam.

It is you who NOW departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal WH religious events.

It was you who was un-characteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, formerly America’s strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.

Do we really need to go on?

Barack, you may be a lot of things; but, for certainty, you are no Christian.

Obama, who refers to himself as: “A man of Africa”, is precisely the type of ‘divided loyalties” individual that our Founders attempted to prohibit from ascendancy to the presidency when they constructed our Constitution.

Not from what I saw in the last campaign. Milquetoast is the best way I would describe his campaign style. Now if he would take a page or two from Newt’s playbook, I might change my mind.
