#1 Tough hitting short article. As the old saying goes, "Hope is not a method." To be successful, the republicans must develop a plan of recovery from all of this Obama spending and debt. It is encouraging however, to see the dems already conceding potential defeat in 2010.

#2 Deciding to drive in the knife is Strategy. Sticking it in here and NOW is tactics.

Ten inch blade, right under the sternum and lean on it hard, again, AGAIN. get a towel and a large industrial sized trashbag. Put him in the trunk in the garage. Then a fifty gallon drum and a trip to Home Depot for the 90 pound bag of cement mix. Roll, dont lift, the drum onto the pickup flatbed. Drive to the lake at 3 in the morning. Pick a spot where the bank is suitable for rolling the drum and make sure the water is deep at that point. Getting rid of the body is harder than the killing usually. Think it through.

Hope is not a method, you cant "improvise" some things. And some people truly deserve it.

Savor and remain silent. No warning, no threats.
He's right about having a plan to undo what Obama has done. Just cut the whole thing out with an electric chainsaw in the tub, slice it up in the garage ...and feed it to the dog.

...and get rid of the chainsaw.

Metaphorically speaking, of course. Unless you think we should have civil and tolerant thoughts for our Democratic Party associates...reasoned debate with Harry Reid and House Speaker Pelosi..and then coffee afterwards?

Metaphorically speaking , of course.

Smile, keep smiling. All ten inches of Solingen steel.

#3 The Republican's most successful 1980s thru 2000s strategy is to get a lot of people to invest in the stock market via their IRAs, 401ks, etc.

The new investors have slowly begun to see what hurts them and what helps them.

The Republican's other successful strategy (1990s) was to pass the welfare reform bill. The success of welfare reform has undermined a generation of Dem Welfarists.

The Dems most successful strategy has been to take control of the culture (the 'news' networks, Hollywood, etc.).
