3 Days In February

Not as sinister as the plot of 7 Days in May….but just as entertaining……

It is happening as we speak…..the much anticipated Conservative Political Action Conference….a meeting of the minds on the Right….the richness of the political thought is just astounding (that is called sarcasm)…….any way they are there in Washington to plan out the next year in conservative politics…..

I have been watching and listening, FOX News is very helpful in keeping the meeting on air….the first thing that I noticed was the statement from a group….it is called the “Mount Vernon Statement” and here is the NEW ideas that are coming out of the conference:

  • It applies the principle of limited government based on the
    rule of law to every proposal.
  • It honors the central place of individual liberty in American
    politics and life.
  • It encourages free enterprise, the individual entrepreneur, and
    economic reforms grounded in market solutions.
  • It supports America’s national interest in advancing freedom
    and opposing tyranny in the world and prudently considers what we can and should do to that
    end.
  • It informs conservatism’s firm defense of family, neighborhood,
    community, and faith.

If this is the new direction for the GOP then they are backing up…..nothing new in those principles…

Then there are the speakers at the conference:

Cheney, who served as vice president to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009, said this year would be “phenomenal” for conservatives and flatly declared Obama would not win re-election in 2012, calling him a “one-term president.”

“After all the finger-pointing is finished, it has become clear who is responsible for President Obama’s lost year, the 10 percent unemployment year — President Obama and his fellow Democrats. So when it comes to pinning blame, pin the tail on the donkeys,” Romney said.

“You’re intellectually shallow; you’re a romantic; you’re self-indulgent,” former House majority leader Dick Armey said of Obama, calling him “the most incompetent president perhaps in our lifetime.”

President Obama and congressional Democrats “are using this downturn as cover, not to fix America but to try to change America, to fundamentally re-define the role of government in our lives and the role of America in the world,” Marco Rubio said

Just a few of the quotes from the vast array of speakers…..but what does it show?  Nothing had changed….they still do NOT have an answer for problems so they resort back to hatred as weapon…..sorry but a person that does not agree with me politically is just wrong…..but to Repubs they are evil….May I suggest that they, the GOP, put anger aside and start acting like adults and give the American people REAL alternatives to the problems that they say are killing the country….but NOOOOOOOO!…….the Repubs have to have someone to hate and apparently so does the American people and once the USSR collapsed that hatred had to find a new hook….and that is your political opposition……

Three days of accusing the Prez of everything that is bad is a bit excessive…..it could have been boiled down to the caveman mentality that they are playing to…..”Liberals-Bad, Conservatives-Good”……how hard is that?
