Here is what she actually said:

“I think that it is clearly important for a commander in chief, whenever he can in whatever way possible, to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, our fallen military folks. But I think, you know, what President Bush used to do is to do it without the cameras. And, um, I don’t understand, sort-of showing up with the White House press pool, with photographers, and asking family members if you can take pictures. That’s really hard for me to get my head around.”

If you can read, you can see there is no claim Bush went to Dover. I don’t know whether he went there or not, nor does it matter.

Big surprise, it is Gasbag who is again lying in saying a conservative lied. How is it that this is the constant pattern with the left?

That Red State post was really interesting. I love the “choose lesser Republicans” line. Wow, they’re basically eating their own when they call a moderate a “leftist”. It will be interesting to watch nonetheless.

I still think they’re just throwing everything they can at the population to see what sticks. We’re to the right of Bush, anti-government, anti-Obama, anti-g@y marriage as the hot button topic, regular Americans for Freedom, protect your children vote for a woman, anti-socialism blah, blah, blah, maybe we can pick up a vote here or there rhetoric.

“That was and is nonsense. Conservatives are willing to make compromises and choose lesser Republicans who can win in races a conservative most likely cannot. NY-23 was never one of those places and now the GOP is in a world of hurt.”

A couple of months ago, I said that a necessary narrative must be established by the right which forwards the notion that Obama is unpopular and a loser. Without that narrative (with its opposite remaining in place – he’s popular and winning)the Republicans will have little to zero chance next November and two years on. They are counting on Tuesday to give heft to that narrative and that’s how they’ll spin it. Count on Hannity and Limbaugh to say, “Well, it didn’t take long for America to realize who Obama really is, did it? This is the begging of the end. These results show beyond a shadow of a doubt that Americans want Obama to fail.” So that is the primary narrative they need to set in place now. Other stuff will come later.

Further up the road, regarding my thesis, there’s the proviso that whatever tact is taken will be determined by events upcoming and which can’t be foreseen now.

“Next week Rush Limbaugh will be our special guest. Rush has become more than just the number one radio talk show host in the country. He is considered an influential political player and is one of the most vocal critics of President Obama and Democrats who call him the leader of the Republican Party. Rush was recently dropped from a group attempting to buy The St. Louis Rams football team for past statements that created controversy. He is always ready to comment on hot topics and news of the day. Please let us know what you want to ask Rush.”

The Republican nominee for NY23 is a Woman, and they just just pushed her out of the race, after she won the party’s nomination.

I wonder how Women in the district will take that?

I’m not sure whether Liz Cheney intentionally lies to suit her own purposes or she really is not smart enough to realize the extent that she deviates from verifiable truth. If she is intentionally lying, she is still not very smart, because it is way too easy to fact check her whoppers. Maybe she is just a pre-Google gal in a post-Google world.

Either way, she is still wrong.

Part of the problem in reading intentions/plans is that the party strategists themselves are uncertain how things will play out and they need to stay nimble afoot. Their first objective is to diminish Obama and that will remain the ongoing and overarching objective.

But they do have the problem of continuing and increasing extremism in their base (thus Kristol’s last column in this paper). They’ve created this beast and they are now stuck with it, so must try to make it work for them. It’s not that this is smart, it’s that it is all they’ve got.

NY 23 seems to prove otherwise, doesn’t it ? It’s the bat-shite crazy ideology, not the gender, that seems to be the repugs’ ’stratergy.’
