GOP Suicide: Trump's Jump and Birther Baloney

The GOP: Wednesday Morning, November 7, 2012


The REPUBLICAN PARTY and the road to extinction. The signs are clear.

Republicans should be building on their huge success from the fall 2010 elections. Instead, the GOP seems hell bent on self-destruction possibly handing Barack Obama the possibility of the largest landslide victory since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 slaughter over Walter Mondale.

How could this happen when the Obama administration is failing miserably staking out its domain on the far left of the political spectrum pushing through the Federal takeover of health care, running the Federal debt into unprecedented levels committing to loads of pork barrel projects, union demands, and mad expansion of existing bureaucracies, entering into warfare against Libya without even the hint of an objective, shutting down domestic oil production, and seeking to raise taxes?

Surely some Republicans are working very hard to address these issues and get the country on the right track, but there are two factors that can doom the Republican Party to oblivion. First, right now, Donald Trump leads polls by a HUGE margin for the Presidential nomination. More than one in four, 26% support his candidacy. Sarah Palin remains a high profile figure in the national Republican scene but it seems like those who fell for her bumper sticker slogans now are hopping on the Trump bully bulldozer. Trump has pumped new life into the second factor that will doom the Republicans, the insane obsession with Barack Obama’s birth certificate. The more Republicans build up that issue, the more Independents and non-ideological Republicans will leave in droves. That it is an issue that represents pure racism can have long lasting effects that could hurt the party for years, but the same would be true if someone like Trump, Palin, or Bachman won the nomination. Trump has something perhaps no other candidate besides Mitt Romney has, unlimited funds to spend on the election. Given Obama will raise a billion dollars for his campaign, this is a frightening prospect.

The Republicans must be a party of clear, understandable solutions. When they attack Obama, it cannot be attacking the person but hitting hard on the issues and demonstrating how badly the Obama administration is failing. The Republicans must represent mature, responsible strong leadership that believes in the greatness of the United States and its people -- ALL ITS PEOPLE.

Sadly, the field of candidates provides little excitement. Sure, Tim Pawlenty is s sharp fellow with great ideas, but he doesn’t have any flash. He’s boring. Mitch Daniels, the governor of Indiana has an incredible record of accomplishment many in areas that the Federal Government is struggling with now. So far, he’s shown little interest, and as sick as this sounds, he doesn’t look Presidential. Chris Christy and Marco Rubio could be incredible candidates but with their level of experience, are just warming up in the bullpen for 2016.

If Republicans recognize the gravity of their situation and just how horrible the threat the continuation of the Obama administration represents, they must be appalled with the current state of their party. At very least, the party must recapture the senate with votes to spare and tighten its lock on the house regaining most of the traditional red states that have supported Republican presidential candidates. However, no matter how strong the Republicans can be on Capitol Hill, it’s almost a sure guarantee that between 2012 and 2016, there will be Supreme Court openings including ones who consist of the working majority conservatives have. No Obama appointment no matter how moderate could possibly maintain that majority. Aside from the deficit, the farthest reaching, long lasting harm Obama is capable of creating is through appointments to the high court.

It’s time for every Republican and independent who realizes the Obama administration must be destroyed in the next election to get in gear and get in touch with the awesome reality the GOP faces. The party must blast Trump from the stage, silence Sarah Palin, and stop the “birther” nonsense NOW!!!

Tomorrow will be too late and the clock is ticking.

Trump: YOU'RE FIRED -- GO AWAY!!!

HOT NEWS: Hawaiian appeals court denies “Birther’s” suit. By virtue of Hawaiian law (which is similar to most states’ policies) there was no compelling reason to grant the request. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is sending his goons to try to take a look.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110407/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_birth_certificate

Trump bulldozed Meredith Viera on NBC's Today Show, the same network that broadcasts his Apprentice self-promotion program absolutely over running the NBC host with his overwhelming intimidating presence.

DONALD TRUMP: I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. It's very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesn't know which hospital he was born in? How come-- forget about birth certificates. Let's say there's no birth certificate. How come in the hospital itself, okay? This is one of the...in the hospital itself, there's no records of his birth. In other words, it doesn't say how much they paid, where is the doctor, here's your room bill. You know, all the


MEREDITH VIEIRA: You've been privy to all of this to know this?


DONALD TRUMP: Well, I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're talking.


MEREDITH VIEIRA: You have people now out there searching-- I mean, in Hawaii?


DONALD TRUMP: Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they're finding. And I'm serious--

TRUMP IS NOTHING ELSE IF NOT A BLOWHARD, A POMPOUS ASS, AND A BLOOTER.


Yo Donald,
,

YOU’RE FIRED. Nobody invited you to the party. You and your posse crashed the gates. Go play with George Soros and see if you guys and bankrupt each other for the good of mankind.

We might just be talking to a wall with some conservatives whose rage and hatred destroys their judgment and objectivity. An internet poll of Fox viewers, voted 86 to 14 percent that it's smart politics for for Trump to highlight Obama's birth certificate.

Okay, the viewers who surf the Fox Life website are probably pretty hardcore conservatives not just day-to-day viewers, but this issue strikes a cord with  some and it is one that will lead to no good consequences for anyone.
Does it seem to fellow, when the Republicans score a huge triumph, soon thereafter something happens that destroys them? In 1972, Nixon won by a huge landslide. Two years later, he was gone – WATERGATE.

Reagan was the one Republican who truly did things right but beneath him, why couldn’t the Republicans in congress get anywhere?

George H.W. Bush declared “No new taxes.” We saw what happened with that.

Newt Gingerich and his guys swept into congress with the Contract with America. Soon, Clinton was playing them like a fiddle. They balanced the budget and Clinton got the credit. Then they did the ultimate act of self-destruction pursuing impeachment of Clinton for getting his on the job blow jobs and the little blue dress. The Republicans could have held that over his head and whacked him, but they pursued inflation knowing the Senate would not support them and viciously divided the nation in so doing.

By the time ol’ Dubya became President and promised a new civility, the congressional Republicans had become almost that which they were elected to replace, a bunch of self-serving entrenched, special interest catering fat cats who spent like there was no tomorrow. Claiming to be the moral party and that morality mattered, how many of them got caught with their pants down?

In 2008 after taking an ass whooping in 2006 bringing in the reign of terror of Reid and Pelosi, they nominated an aged backstabber who sold them out in many a crucial moment including teaming up with Wisconsin Senator Feinstein creating an absolutely pro-Democrat finance bill, John McCain, who then nominated a thoroughly mindless inexperienced shrill fluff brain, Sarah Palin, as VP, setting the stage for the election of the most radical, communist, socialist, and liberation theology influenced inexperienced figures to win the White House in Barack Obama.

After enduring a thorough whipping in the 2008 election, the Democrats sewed the seeds for Republican resurgence seizing control of General Motors, Chrysler, and the nation’s health care system as radicals popped up like flowers in May like Van Jones, Valarie Harper and a host of Chicago political machine operatives. They were poised to retake both houses of congress, but thanks to Sarah Palin’s involvement in some key Senate races, what would have been sure Republican gains in Nevada and Delaware, the intellectually challenged dingbats she endorsed won. Nevertheless, the turnover in the House was impressive. After the 2010 election, they were poised to march on and create living hell for the Democrats hand-cuffing the Obama administration.

Somehow assertiveness and forceful dedication to the issues seemed to give way to personality issues, but regardless of that, seeing figures like Sarah Palin shaping up as possible nominees for the 2012 Presidential nomination were bad enough to make losing their recent gains a true reality, then comes a long Donald Trump spewing a lot of hot-tempered knee jerk inflammatory right wing flamethrower talk show issues introducing it all surrounding the most nothing issue of nothing issues in ages, whether or not a birth certificate can be produced proving Barack Obama is a legitimate US citizen.

Suddenly the Democrats have exactly what that want, tangible proof the Republicans are a bunch of yokel racists. While many Republicans are way too smart to engage in such stupidity ad John Boehner did on “Meet the Press” despite substantial goading by left wing attack dog host, David Gregory. Now enter Donald Trump, the bully’s bully, the manic master of self-promotion making the birth certificate issue his rallying point indicting he might run for President. In using the TV talk show circuit as his platform, he’s continued to “trump up” the “birther” issue while making outrageous claims how he’d play tough with everyone else in the world or who would hold a position contrary to “The Donald” basically pounding his chest screaming “my way or the highway” and inviting anyone who’d dare question him to kiss his butt. Now the Trumpster is sending investigators to Hawaii to attempt to determine if a birth certificate exists. On has to feel Barack Obama couldn’t be delighted more. As horrible as things looked for him, with Sarah Palin and now Donald Trump diverting attention from the serious Republicans who are working hard to unravel his policies giving the media and his supporters tons of raw red meat to portray the Republicans as a bunch of racist rubes, Obama can surely see opposition amounting to far more hot air than substance.

Muzzling Trump will be no easy task. There is no charismatic front running candidate for the 2012 nomination…Chris Christie and Mark Rubio aren’t ready yet. Some could ultimately prevail on the issues, are being drowned out by two of the most polarizing shrill showboats getting all the media’s attention.

If Barack Obama is smiling more recently, maybe he envisions running against a Trump/Palin ticket. That could make the landslides the Republicans enjoyed 1972 and 1984 look tiny by comparision.

Wake up conservatives. Your prompt destruction is appearing on a television program somewhere tonight. It’s time for reason and focus to prevail.
