How Republicans can regain the momentum
Obama has crushed the Republicans.
They knew heading into the government shutdown that they will lose the PR wars. Admittedly, they have always rebounded fairly well, as they did during the Gingrich/Clinton shutdowns in the mid 90s.
But times are different today. They are up against the most formidable foe the GOP has faced since the old Soviet Union.
Barack Obama will negotiate with terrorists, anti-semites, and America haters on any corner of the earth. But he has proven his resolve in not only refusing to negotiate with Republicans, but in trying to destroy the Republican brand.
There is one way for the Republicans to regain the momentum …
Liberals' views on what is "mainstream" is either funny, or scary
We can't afford Democrat's cure
Here’s the premise: “give Obama a Democratic Congress and the jobs will come roaring back.”
This is the mantra of liberals, as discussed in my earlier post today.
Is it logical?
I don’t know, because Obama had a liberal, Democratic Congress (forgive the redundancy) his first two years in office. They pursued very specific legislative initiatives in their hope to revive the waning economy and create jobs:
A day in the life on Facebook
“Shame on Teapublicans like Tom Quiner that think that wanting a Democratic Congress in 2014 can be separated from the outrage we all suffer because of the government shutdown and the sequester.”
This was the final salvo from a Facebook contact who disagreed with my politics.

“Abortion is *$*%*@ awesome!”
The expletive from the man probably made him feel good. “Boy, that really put them in their place,” may have been his mindset as he hurled his invective at the praying crowd at Planned Parenthood. And profanity is often a tool of the inarticulate.
He does pose an interesting question, don’t you think? An entire political party thinks abortion IS awesome. So what could possibly be awesome about abortion? I think the human abortion crowd would identify three “awesome” aspects of unfettered human abortion:
La-de-da politics
“Tell me one thing you like about your opponent.”
This is one of those sappy questions lightweight political reporters ask of candidates in a debate.
Most candidates intensely dislike their opponent. This question puts them in a position of being disingenuous at best, and lying through their teeth at worse …
Musings on Washington D.C.
Barack Obama has never had to make anything.
He has never built a business.
He has never had to meet a payroll.
For the record, there is nothing wrong with that. His gifts lie in different areas. When you look at the vast expanse of our federal bureaucracy, which consists of some 2,700,000 employees, few of those folks are entrepreneurial in nature either. If they were, the federal bureaucracy is the worst place in the world for them to work, characterized as it is by rigid rules, regulation, and political correctness …
National Muslim Appreciation Month has been canceled!
By Tom Quiner Sometimes when something seems too outrageous to be true, it’s not true. One of those is “National Muslim Appreciation Month.” I ran a letter from a Quiner’s Diner reader expressing her shock that such a thing could happen. I didn’t check the story out until after I posted her letter. According to…
