He is his party’s best strategic mind.

LOL. Is this supposed to be serious? Chris Cillizza is a dyed in the wool Communist. No wonder he thinks this do nothing dope who couldn't even find a position on Syria is the GOP's greatest mind. Hell, even Mitch's own Red state doesn't like him judging by his rotten poll numbers.

I don’t think a two-week paid vacation for federal employees is conservative policy. A number of us were saying back in July that this strategy could not and would not work, and of course it didn’t.

First off, you establishment know it alls had absolutely no plan to defeat or fight Zerocare. Not doing anything isn't a plan Tippy. Secondly, we have subsequently found out that one of your pet projects/debacles was funded to the tune of $2 billion as a payoff.

“We have a math problem in the Senate in getting rid of Obamacare,” McConnell told Schieffer. “It’s the following math problem, 55 Democrats and 45 Republicans.”

---

So we need more R's in the Senate? Last time we did that for you Establishment types, you guys were a disaster.

McConnell’s answer to Schieffer was aimed directly at his Senate and House colleagues. And here’s what he meant: You tried it your way. It didn’t work. I told you it wouldn’t. From here on out, we do it my way.

When it comes to pols, BJ Xlinton showed us the way. It's called "parsing". Whenever one of these clowns speak, you have to parse what they say.

Notice he says "it" - but he doesn't define what "it" is. We might assume "it" means how do you get rid of Zero care. But, if we assume that, we are wrong.

Instead "it" means "how do we kiss democrat butt. " Or, "it" might mean how do we fool our base. "It" might mean "how do we look like we're against Zero Care when we're actually for it.

So - now his statement makes much more sense - just replace "it" with any of the variables listed above. Example:

" A number of us were saying back in July that this strategy could not and would not work, and of course it didn’t. "

That turned out to be a self-fulfilled prophecy.

"Duh .....I told you it wouldn't work"

But Mitch, what about the $2 billion dam and lock project?

"Oh, yeah, well, uh, ...that worked."

I notice the math required to get rid of Obamination Care does not include one Democrat defector. That's pretty curious. Do they vote as one? Yet we suffer fools who can't work together to accomplish the most basic conservative principles. Isn't that Grand? I don't think so.

Our motto: Yes we fight, but no, we don't win.

We're now 5 points behind Democrats. What exactly did we gain during the shutdown? Our side is run by complete and total idiots and nincompoops.

I think it's very possible we'll recover by next year but it's not guaranteed.

We're losers. Who supports losers? When a poll comes along and asks about popularity, are you surprised the Republicans didn't do well?

What did we gain? Nothing, we lost. And Americans respects those who stand up for their principles. We didn't, we don't fight to win.

We had the mic and we squandered the moment.

Ignore polls. The polls are not our friend.

Question: Has anyone ever seen a poll question like "Do you agree/support Harry Reid?" or how about "Do you agree or support Nancy Pelosi?"

No - of course not.

Real leaders lead. All others follow polls.
