Dear Republican Leadership, People don’t want ‘cool conservatism’, they want the damn truth!

We need to keep linking the context to the big picture. We can't keep sounding like a movie with no plot. Maybe that's why obama seems to be winning - he has so many hollywood producers on his side.

These things that the common person does not understand should be linked together in the package form that is mentioned. But they should be explained in a relative way that the people can relate to.

"We are opposed to this, this and that - Because.....................................

Link the things together - like a story problem.

Watch this- Link together Bengazi, Drones, Gun Control and the Marines bolts being removed with no gov't explaination.

Bengazi - Obama was supposed to protect US citizens and he didn't. He was awol and uninvolved and irresponsible.

Drones - Obama wants us to trust him to NOT use drones against the US citizens and not to kill innocent people without first proving them guilty.

Gun control - Obama wants to modify the second ammendment which gives US citizens the rights to defend themselves against a govt. He wants to reduce our rights while he selectively increases his own.

Bolts - Obama took away the bolts ?WHY? Since this has never been done before - why was it done now? Distrust is the only logical conclusion.

All these have to do with Force Protection and Rights. And obama's abuse of them.

He doesn't trust Our Military. He knows he is guilty of tyranny and afraid of our military and the people uprising against him

Obama knows he is wrong deep down, that's why he is afraid. Trouble is the people need to link it all together and get it too.

We have to stop looking disconnected in our messages. WE the conservatives get it, but the general public doesn't. That's how Hillary got away with her preposterous statement " What does it matter?" The liberal press keeps saying we are harping on dead, irrellevant,stubborn, can't fix it issues. That is not the point and we have to slap them down with logic.

Dr. Ben Carson - the wise man who made dimebar barry look like he swallowed a turd for breakfast. We need his logic. He linked so many things together in that one speech - that's why he made so much sense.

Obama's promotional team and backers are very good. They have made him appear very powerful with divide and conquer and cut throat undermining.

They say keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. We need to work on exposing the extreme left he is the prop of.

We can use things like linking together his marxist ideals vs capitalims ideals - Say Yep, here's another example, and begin linking them for the American public. Instead of the disjointed sound bites we appear to put up.

We look kind of silly fighting against the smaller subjects that middle people are in the middle on. Abortion, gay marriage etc can be a state issue and get that out of the federal debate.

We have a country to run. The job of the federal gov't is to uphold the constitution. It can't even do that right now. Seems completely absurd to put more unnecessarily on it's plate.

Let's work on putting the whole picture together and presenting it.

Let's help create the picture Dr. Ben Carson reintroduced to us - LOGIC.

Thanks for reading this,

Sarah

P.S. (Obama was also pretty much useless and uninvolved with the killing of Bin Laden too. Remember the pictures - he had to be dragged off the golf course while everyone else was in the situation room. )

Sorry..it's all about 'cool' Obama changed politics forever

Ashley Judd is leading in KY among women..what does that say

A radical left wing loon with zero experience has a chance of winning a US Senate seat..'Judd is cool'

I gotta hand it to you Scoop, I am impressed that you've stayed with the Republicans through the past several years (...either and WE will become irrelevant). I gave up on them around 2007 when McLame was pimping hard for amnesty and the party was all lining up behind him. That was my issue then and now. If the Rs can't see that open borders are the end of America as founded, why would I support them? Go along to get along if you must, but I'll watch from outside the arena.

Dr Jeremiah.org which is Dr. David Jeremiah's 'Turning Point' was excellent tonight, Sunday, February 17th. He quotes King Solomon from Ecclesiastes Chapter 5, various verses, and you will think the words are being said today, about governments. It's uncanny, really. It just goes to show, people don't change, inside, over thousands of years.

He said a few things that made people laugh, and it was altogeher a very good program to watch.

If you have time, please watch it. You can also Google 'Dr Jeremiah' and see how to get the audio immediately as well.

Now that Rove and Cantor and the RINO GOP are planning their stealth deeds to cut of the real Conservatives and Reaganites, they need to be watched like hawks!

You can't communicate the "truth" and have people who hear it think it's the truth if you do a bad job communicating it. That's the whole point. The Republicans have been talking about the huge deficits caused by Democrat spending policies for years and no one wants to hear it. Why? The article says it's because people don't want to hear doom and gloom all the time. People want to believe Social Security and Medicaid will always be there for them (the 47% and all). If the GOP just talks about bad things and the Democrats say, "No, everything's all right and we will make it even better for you," people vote for the Democrats to keep things good with benefit spending. There are 2 sides to every message: Things will be bad if you do the wrong thing, and things will be good if you do the right thing. How will things be good--and how will people who think they need entitlement spending be able to get by without it--if the GOP is elected? Spread that message.

If you just say, "I'm telling the truth. Listen to me. It's the truth," and say whatever you think is the truth just because it's the truth, why would anyone listen to you? They would need to be convinced of why it was the truth.

Of course the GOP needs to be "cooler." Obama just got elected largely because he is viewed as "cool." On the front page, I have recently been seeing a lot of articles about how liberals control the culture (There is one featured now, and there are also a lot of promoted Bill Whittle videos on the topic.), and now I'm seeing this article decrying Republicans for wanting to be "cool." The first argument was right: Republicans do need to make their message sell better in the culture (i.e. being "cool"), which is why conservatives always attack Hollywood liberals, Sesame Street liberals (the Muppets attacked Fox News, and Eric Bolling attacked them, and Ben Shapiro also mentioned them in his book), late night talk show liberals, and other entertainment industry liberals.

now we learn that the ballina mayor of chicago rahm don't let a crisis go to waste immanuel is thinking of running for pres in 2016. if he does, he will be the butt of ballerina jokes.

Your final point is an excellent one. "The sleepers out there are going to wake up at some point...."

More like jolted awake screaming during their eviction, but awake nonetheless.

I agree, true patriotic conservatism, no RINO's.

I don't like having sunshine blown up my skirt. It makes you out of breath and me gassy. Just give me the bald facts and let me decide how to feel. If I ever get the feeling that you are being dodgy, I'm going to have some real issues with anything else you ever tell me.

See, I don't expect much in a candidate. I think I'm the typical voter. Why is it so hard to give me the guy or gal I need?

Cool that Mark Levin posted this to facebook! :)

These Rino's have learning disability. Don't they.

Bravo! Bout time someone said it like it is. Don't know if The Republican Party is the vehicle. I have voted in every Presidential election since I was 18. I vowed, after this last one,..to escape the "Matrix." I'll work as local as possible, and leave the National stuff alone.

Yes sir the truth will set you free.. amazing how the lies build into a mountain of lies.. We want our power to be derived from the truth.. not the lies that the liberals stand on !

Our party and our way of lives must stand on the truth period. NO MORE LIES !

"No, we need people with conviction so that when they utter the truth it resonates with people. That’s one of the reasons Obama is so popular because he sounds like he makes sense. He lies with such conviction people believe he’s telling them the truth."

Um, remember the debates? Anyone? He came off as the disassociative, arrogant, lying, unqualified loser he is and he STILL won. You're fighting a losing battle, and the libs are laughing at you. And we're laughing at them, because you're all an old man's debating society. Google decided who was going to be president. There will never be another free election in the US without massive rule change. In other words, there will never be another free election. Get used to it.

YES! Tell the TRUTH with Conviction educationing electoric why other WON'T WORK LONG TERM! And other ways History PROVES OTHER WAY DOESN'T EVER WORK & WHY IT CAN'T!

The Rightscoop is right! If these republican dolts believe Rove or buy into any of these ideas they will never be believed, and will be left in the dust. Wake-up Boehner & the rest of the republican Leadership TELL THE TRUTH AND FIGHT LIKE A GIRL! DON'T LISTEN TO ROVE HE TOLD BUSH TO STAY SILENT AND NOT FIGHT BACK. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN 2006 AND 2008. ROVE AND HIS ILK ARE ESTABLISHMENT LOSERS!!!

Since Clinton, 'spin' has been passed off as truth. It's far from truth...it's not even truthiness...it's just evasion, rationalization, making excuses, giving a pleasant sound bite to substitute from admitting wrong or failure, just hoping people won't know the difference or just be too busy to care.

It works for slippery eel Democrats. But not for Republicans.

Nixon left office for far less than Clinton or Obama have done.

(Most) Republicans seem to have a sense of right and wrong, but not Democrats.

This is why there is no hope for the old GOP. They need to abandon tired old blowhards like Karl Rove get behind conservative new leaders like Ted Cruz who can articulate conservative values and tell the truth about why we are where we are and what we can do about it.

Exactly right. The problem with Republicans is their actions don't match their words. We vote for them when they promise to reduce the size of government, taxes and regulations. When they get in office, we hear nothing but excuses about why their promises never come to fruition. Instead of fighting for us, they seem more interested in positioning themselves for their next election, which inexplicably leads them to "moderate" their positions. No wonder we give up on them.

Speak in the bold, calm, truthful manner of Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson. Republicans want everyone to be rich, Democrats need everyone to be poor. It's as simple as that. And when Democrats and the President lie, come out immediately and call them out on the lie. Democrats fight like junk yard dogs and Republicans are tea cup poodles. You didn't see Dr. Carson shy away from the truth, and he was feet away from the President. The old bulls like Boehner, Cantor, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, McCain - they all have to disappear so we can showcase Cruz, Tim Scott, Allen West, Ben Carson, Artur Davis, Rubio. These men are godly, conservative men who are evidence of the American Dream, and they are not afraid to express the meaning of God in their lives. When is the last time you heard any of the old Republicans talk about their faith. And the President? Never. We have an excellent bench of godly, conservative men that can bring back the Reagan America. The door is closing on the Rino's, and they know it.

Is it so hard for the GOP leadership to see IF we wanted Democrat lite WE'D vote for Democrats?

right on ... right on

Great article!!

Thanks Scoop.I could not agree more with your final analysis!Very good post.

Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure people DO in fact want cool...Obama is case in point, he is enormously popular DESPITE his policies. Not saying it's a good thing, but I think the people have spoken, unfortunately.

...lets cut the BS,RS

Senator TED CRUZ from the great State of TEXAS for ,

PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,2016 ." (period)

I am beginning to wish Gore had been elected in 2000, and the pain will have ended by 2004, and Obama would never have been on anyone's radar. Oh, just sad what this country of ours has become I guess.

I'm beginning to hate the GOP as much as the DNC.

Great TRS! So simple and I am with you an #1 and #3.

#2 is an example of what I'd call counter-propaganda - based on the truth but a simple emotional appeal - use propaganda techniques to counter propaganda. "So, are you against lower energy costs for folks?" Two things we fight however :

- The elephants must find a way around the media to get the truth out through counter propaganda. The state media will never carry it and immediately discredit it. And yes especially Fox - that is preaching to the choir and any sound byte or video recorded on FOX is the kiss of death outside the Fox audience.

- No one wants the truth. The American mind is so deeply steeped in feel-good sound-byte propaganda, that it is an addiction. We cannot convince them they have been fooled.

Pamela Geller's "Defeat Jihad" and "#MyJihad campaigns are successful examples in a media that has singled her out to destroy along with her message of the truth.

The ones that care about this country do care about being told the truth.

I would suspect that most of us are suspicious of anything that looks

"cool". We want a balanced budget and adherence to the constitution and

conservative principles. What is so difficult about that?

The reason the messaging is poor isn't because they are bad at messaging;

it is because the rinos who are in step with the lefties are always trying

to hide the truth.

'Republicans are meeting behind closed doors, some with Rove, to discuss what can make our messaging better.'

I'll give them a hint on what will work. Lock the doors, bolt the windows, and throw away the keys. It's a start.

Thanks for posting this Scoop. These people are brain dead. They are complete valueless idiots and the sooner they are swept from the stage and into the dustbin of history the better.
