What do we do?
Abortion
This is critical. The GOP Establishment is going to claim that Todd Akin is the reason Romney was defeated. We have to point out that Obama shifted into a Pansexual Leftist campaign, and Romney refused to fight on the other side. The only mention of abortion I remember coming out of his campaign was an ad assuring voters he did believe that kids conceived by rape could be legally killed.
Homosexual Marriage
Fight continues. I expect Romney to blame the Religious Right for making too much of this issue.
Drone Homicides
Obama now owns these for another four years. That gives Christians who are awake time to show how readily the use of drones is appropriate to a commander-in-chief who thinks babies should be killed if they survive abortions.
Nation-building
If it can be done overseas, then it can be done here. Obama has explicitly emphasized this point, and owned it. We need to make sure the reasoning sticks. The objective should be a Republican President in 2016 who repudiates totalitarian, coercive social engineering on every continent, not just on North America.
Financing Terrorists to Induce Regime Change
Obama has effectively armed and financed Al Qaeda or similar groups in Libya and Syria. If Romney had won the Presidency, he would have owned this policy. But with Obama as the leader, we have a chance, again, to show how much more appropriate it is for a Marxist to export violent revolution and chaos rather than a professed “conservative.”
National Security State/TSA Groping Regime
Again, Obama now owns all of this. Let’s use him to get conservatism back on track with real civil rights.
Drug War
We have four years to oppose prohibition and SWAT Teams, which are now Democrat property.
Economic Policy/Corruptocracy
We need to get people to realize how much Obama followed Bush’s playbook on the economy and Wall Street.
Crimes
I wish God had granted us the Senate. But if we can really expose and investigate “Fast and Furious” and Benghazigate, we can hopefully paralyze the president.
This is off the top of my head. What else should we do? Please make some suggestions or corrections to my ideas in the comments.<>
Great points, Mark.
Tea Party candidates are hopefully going to learn to keep their moths shut about rape. Notice the gender gap in the Tea Party: men lost, women won. Expect to see more TP women running in ’14
