GOP lawmaker: Republican agenda should be kept hidden | Raw Story
"Rep. Peter King (R-NY) told a radio show Thursday that the GOP should focus on its strategy of being against President Barack Obama's policies, but shouldn't give too many specifics on its own policies -- or those policies could be used against them."
...or would the fact that they have no policies be used against them?
GOP strategy should be "a combination of being against what Obama is for, and also giving certain specifics of what we are for," King told the Bill Bennett Radio Show.
... so they're still denying their status as the party of "no"...
but wait, there's more!
"Having said that, I don’t think we have to lay out a complete agenda, from top to bottom, because then we would have the national mainstream media jumping on every point trying to make that a campaign issue."
Right!... becasue the last thing the GOP would want is for what they actually plan to do if elected to become a campaign issue!
So, people still support the GOP... based on what? Even they're not going to tell you anymore!

Then, once you finally get your way, you can spring whatever little nasty surprises on people that you want, because it'll already be law! Ah-ha-ha-ha-haa!!!
GOP strategy? No....I'm talking about the Democratic health-care bill. |

Enough of what? You've said nothing that even remotely resembles anything meaningful or constructive.
Hmmm... seeking a GOP nomination, are we? |

Another disciple of GOP double-nonspeak. It seems to be catching on quicker than I thought. |

Hmmm... seeking a GOP nomination, are we? Truth must correspond to reality in order to be true. The truth of the Administrations on fiscal responsibility and leadership coupled to legislation of the Majority in the Sen and the House is bankrupting our Nation. More over by you in your political posturing to keep power! |

Had enough yet or do we want to vote in some more money grubbing liars. Telling us what we want to hear and giving us nothing in reality! There is no more integrity left in America when character and shame no longer matters in our society! Everything is up on its head " upside down and right side up" Politically rationalizing the truth away, but the reality of the policy's are going to tell another story! The litmus test was has already been played out, but we have forgotten where we come from, so history tends to repeat itself. Each generation has to define themselves to prove their greatness and these are defining times and no one sees themselves as evil these days!
And Hitlers party and generation is defined:
The basis of truth used by Germany was the Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest. The leaders of Germany saw their nation as a superior group a “Stronger People” and the rest of the world as an inferior people, a “Weaker People”. The source of truth derived from the Friedrich Nietzsche taught that man is the source for good and evil.

I have no love for, nor allegiance to, the Republican Party, Kate. If I had to classify myself according to "party" lines, I guess I'd I'd say Tea Party, because it's the closest thing that comes to "Independant Conservative" that I can come up with. The vast majority of Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats: greedy, self-serving, corrupt incumbent money-grubbers who have their own enrichment and grasp on power as paramount instead of the good of the country and the people.
That's why need to get rid of incumbent of all stripes, and we need strict term limits. |

Two things: "GODWIN!!" 
and two: honestly? Of the two main Parties the Republican is obviously the more Darwinian one.
