Received this update from Republican Insider following Barack Obama’s first press conference in eight months. (Actually a bit embarrassed to say I was not aware there was a press conference today) In this update RI gives us a simple and straightforward example of how Republicans need to better communicate how Barack Obama and other Democrats attempt to alter political reality to better compliment their own far- left agenda.
(Barack Obama blamed George Bush throughout his first term. Will he now “blame’ Bush for giving middle class Americans the very tax he now claims to want to defend?)

Hello. Quick update for you following the president’s PC. Almost real time for you.
Won’t waste time going over the talking points garbage that Barack Obama is so good at delivering. Only two real Benghazi/Petraeus questions that the president spun. He knows the issue isn’t going away quite yet. I can confirm for you there are Republicans saying it’s time to “go long” on this issue. But they really want someone affiliated with the administration to back up an investigation and I have no idea if they have that or not. Will try and get you an answer by tomorrow. You are completely right in your anger on how these guys walked back the press conference two weeks ago. Shame on them. They are the kind of Republicans that make people so untrusting. Hope your Insider is healing up from that experience. I know it would take me a while. The Benghazi issue is not going away any time soon. It will be a battle between those of us who truly do want to “go long” on it, those on the Republican side who are worried about political blowback, and then the Democrats and the White House who are really going all out to shut everything down. So while the issue deserved more than two questions at the PC today, at least we got those two. There will be more to come I think. I can’t promise you this thing will really take hold, but we are working hard to give key Republicans the sense of security that they need to join in this particularly fight because it is one we can actually win.
Anyways, here is an example of how the Republicans can pin down Obama on his bullcrap. When he goes out there and starts telling America how concerned he is about a potential tax hike on the middle class, Republicans need to come right back and say they will be happy to negotiate the extension of the Bush middle class tax cuts with the Democrats.
Repeat that line phrase over and over again. THE BUSH MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUTS.
That is what the president is trying to do. Extend the Bush era middle class tax cuts. We did a study months ago and found that about 70% of respondents indicated President Bush gave the rich a tax break and actually raised taxes on the middle class and the poor. That is totally false of course. Just the opposite. Bush lowered taxes for EVERYONE. So much in fact that about half of Americans now pay no federal income tax after deductions.
So if you could help get this out there, and hopefully all of your readers can help out as well. Tell everyone they know that Barack Obama wants to extend the Bush middle class tax cuts, because the truth is that is exactly what he is trying to do. Just a little thing like this can make a huge difference in public perception. Barack Obama and the Democrats got a lot of mileage out of calling it the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Now they are trying to get even more mileage by saying they want to prevent a tax hike on the middle class. And I have heard it repeated many times that the White House is all in on the “holding the middle class hostage” theme for as long as they can get away with it. It’s up to this new media to try and prevent them from doing that.

Any chance the (chastised & reformed) GOP can take up the banner for a really fair tax for everyone but the very poorest within our society?
I’m speaking of a FLAT TAX for everyone! How can that not be fair not to mention…simple!? No one should feel they have to hire a CPA to do their taxes & even the CPA’s have to study and review pages and pages of “new rules and regulations” ~ sheer insanity. The American people would be so grateful to have a simplified, easy to read tax return and truly fair.
I agree.
I believe that a flat tax is an proposal that the GOP must pursue. The current “progressive” tax system is a fundamental travesty.
And it’s an issue that we can win, if we frame our argument in the basic terms of Constitutional freedoms and the legitimate versus illegitimate roles of government.
In other words, when did it become the government’s role to decide that one person is entitled to less of *their own money* than another person?
The “tax cuts on the rich” theme is one that has continually proved to me the leftists are correct in their (obvious through deduction) attitude that a large portion of the population is either uninformed or just dumb. What saddens me is that people who doubtlessly benefited from the lowered taxes on the middle class will argue that they were only for the rich. Lemmings.
On Benghazi: I’ve been assuming there were a lot of Republicans who thought it would hurt them politically to speak up about it. That may be the more offensive aspect of the post-tragedy situation. No, not that it would hurt them–I disagree–but that they thought it would.
Will do! Putting it out on Twitter as we speak! Thanks!! Fight!
“Won’t waste time going over the talking points garbage that Barack Obama is so good at delivering.” ADDENDUM: “… given the media’s compromised complicity.”
“But they [the Republican Congress] really want someone affiliated with the administration to back up an investigation and I have no idea if they have that or not.” Simple then. Start impeaching each member of the administration from the top-down until someone — if anyone at all — has the courage to put country over party, starting with Obama, Clinton, Holder, et. al. It doesn’t matter that none will be convicted in the Senate; get them on record as lying or evading (taking the 5th or claiming some kind of “executive privilege” or “national security reasons”) until some low-level bureaucrat patriot finally stands up (i.e. refuses to stand down, a la Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods) and tells the truth (preferably via documented evidence) which contradicts them all.
Yes, yes, yes!
Very cool. Will do. They really are the Bush middle class tax cuts that obozo is now saying he wants to save. Never thought of it like that.
USE OWN WORDS AGAINST THE IMPOSTER!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
Re Benghazi & Repubs. afraid of political blowback and need more security — WHAT ?????!!!!!!!!! As realistic as I am about them, this is HORRIBLE and beyond unpatriotic, cowardly, ETC !!!!!! THIS is one of the biggest things wrong with our Reps.!!!!!! UNPATRIOTIC COWARDS. This is a SLAM DUNK – as has been other issues (like his eligibility). I would think most everyone wants the truth to come out about this and would only cheer them!!! We are STARVING for TRUTH to come out and justice to be done & our country to be protected !!
People have been asking about why in the world do I support Sarah Palin. For one, SHE WOULD NOT BACK DOWN on this no matter what and get the job done to the best of her ability, expending all efforts and making any sacrifices !!!!!
And that is exactly why she was booted out and family totally smeared beyond belief. So why is anyone surprised at the dangerous fix we’re in now?????
GOP is a party of haters. Wacks. Racists. Pigs. It might have been a cool place to hang back in the Reagan dayz, but now its just full of losers and slaves to the machine. Dems got everyone else. That why Obama wins even though he sucked ass as prez. He sucked but the GOP sucks more. You all gave some guy who wears magig undies the nomination. Shit. For real? And look at the comments in this house. People getting all up in the conspiracy this and that. Dumb white racist asshat wearing nutless faggot hating breeders. We are black and brown and male and female and gay and straight and we rule up in this house now yo! So pack it up and move to Canada where all the cold dumb white faggot hating breeders go to die. Peace.
I am not going anywhere because the US is my country as much as yours. But I am going Galt. Meaning tax base for 2013 = 0.
So your enjoy your Obamacare, Obamaphone, Pal grants and food stamps as well as your earned income tax credit while they last because THEY WON’T. And in the meantime I am enjoying not paying a dime towards them.
Cheers!
ATB–Why do you think Lame Cherry gave only step 1 and step 3 for how conservatives should respond to BHO’s re-election?
And wouldn’t LC’s step 1 leading to complete collapse of the system be exactly what BHO wants, in accord with his Alinsky model?
I’ve said it before, and I stand by it: Lame Cherry is Obama administration PsychOps/disinfo.
That’s why it seems like his/her “Step 1″ would be exactly what Obama and his handlers want. What Lame Cherry is advocating *is* what Obama wants. Lame Cherry is on his side.
UM
Why are you removing our comments about Benghazi??
We can not allow Obama to get away with Benghazi Massacre…… He is dancing around the questions?
Even Catherine Herridge said the US was moving weapons to the enemy!!
It is important for our country to know the Truth…… This is Treason!!
Well, well…It looks like someone’s been reading my comments lately.
For the past week or so I’ve been the one and only person on this site to argue that conservatives will get nowhere until we resolve to effectively defend Bush’s policies (which in most respects are the same as Reagan’s policies for that matter).
Now we’ve got our Republican Insider saying we need to set the record straight on the Bush tax cuts. I don’t know if he’s actually capable of learning, or just wants to be all things to all Republicans, but it’s a start.
Time for a march on Washington. Who’s with me?
Count me in.
Vtx…100% right…fraud here…
Every informative post erased
Yeah, I’ve posted a few and they’re gone. But that’s happened in the past & then gotten better….”popular” site.?
Miss VTX….wonder if he reads these. Pray for him.
I love it. Obama wants to save the Bush tax cuts. So simple and smart. Republican Insider has got some game. Hopefully the dumb bells in the party will listen to him.
I agree that this (Republican) insider does seem very smart. Not sure I like him saying how mitt Romney wasn’t a great candidate. This election was stolen. But I also agree it’s a matter of proving it which does seem almost impossible. At least for us little people. But everything else about this republican insider I really like. Very interesting stuff.
Sorry, but I refuse to fall for the line “no way we can prove it”.
Exactly what else you need to prove fraud when prescinct returns come out above 100% participation?
The only thing you need in such instance is ONE registered person who did not vote.
(actually this should be planted for 2014 in each dem district with such history)
That at the very least such prescinct results should be invalidated is the very minimum. That the GOP does not make a stand there is flabergasting.
There might be instances of software fraud more difficult to prove but not all.
