RNC Chief: Obama broke his promise on taxing middle class and we’re gonna pound away on it
RNC Chief Reince Priebus says that it doesn’t matter that he can’t stand the decision by the Supreme Court. Obama’s lawyers argued that the mandate penalty was a tax and the Supreme Court agreed and ruled that it was a tax and therefore the RNC is going to pound away on the fact that Obama broke his promise to not raise taxes on the middle class. He says that the Democrats may have won the battle be he believes Republicans are going to win the war. Awesome!

Let’s hope. In the meantime it’s time to write some strongly worded letters.

@Joe. I am not a booster of the RNC but I agree with you 100% regarding Priebus. He is a keeper and knows how to fight.

I like this guy, he can punch and he doesn’t back up.
We’ve needed someone like him in this position for a very long time.

Hopefully, the combined efforts of the RNC, Romney’s Presidential campaign and the Super Pacs will get through to enough people who still work in this nation that the Democrats have to be utterly crushed and driven from all levers of government.
Otherwise we all face the prospect of wild pigs that are slowly penned in by a few goodies.

What I think is fabulous is the Democrats are so completely tone-deaf they will crow from the rooftops about how wonderful this SCOTUS decision was. They are clueless. How quickly they have forgotten that they lost the House in 2010 because of Obamacare. And all their crowing now will only end up screwing them.

From xthred: “I got $100 bucks says this time next year Obamacare is not fully repealed. Anybody want that bet?”
Hell no. We’ll start getting ‘position statements’ that the job is very large and oh so complicated, and can’t be done with just a stroke of a pen.
The ONLY way any political party would start to gain any respect at all from me is to pick an agency and disband it.
Dept. Of Education would be a good candidate.
Short of that level of commitment, it’s the same old lies.

Flying under the radar and always ready with the right thing to say, Priebus is turning into a stealth Lee Atwater – just what the GOP needs after the utter fiasco of Michael Steele. How many black voters did he turn to the “dark side?” Two, maybe three?
Weepubicans have only made a half-hearted effort at best to make inroads into blacks and other precincts that are blue, blue, blue. Stop wasting time and money on Obamatons and appeal to people who have a modicum of common sense & intelligence, the mushy middle. BUT don’t tilt left to do it. Conservatism wins every time it’s tried.

I just emailed Boehner to ask a question.
Because when Obamacare is repealed, the power to tax inactivity given by SCOTUS to Congress is still out there. They will need to introduce and pass legislation that forbids the federal government from being able to tax us for not doing or buying things and services deemed good for us by the feds.
Hopefully, Priebus will also bring that up.
This guy has more spine than RNC chairs have had for a long time.

I think I’ve missed something for the past 3 years…I haven’t seen the “spine” from Preibus that some of you think he has. Yes, he’s better than Steele but I haven’t seen his “balls” yet. I’ve heard the rhetoric and same old song & dance.
What have I missed?

On the Sunday talking asshole’s, none of the administration’s useful idiot’s would call it a tax, they think by not saying it, it will go away

@Team America
I’m too lazy & busy to dig much further than Wikipedia. That said here are a few interesting bits from his entry. It seems too good to be true – we will see however
-In 2007, Priebus was elected Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party. As Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, Priebus presided over a historic shake up of the political landscape in 2010 as Republicans won the Governor’s race, picked up a US Senate seat and took control of both houses of the Wisconsin legislature. This was the first time since 1998 that Republicans controlled both houses of the Wisconsin Legislature and the Governors office.
- In declaring his candidacy, he said, “I’m not running for Chairman because I think I’m better than anyone or because I think I have all the answers. I’m running for chairman for only one reason: I believe our country is in a time of great peril and we have to do something about it.”[13] To turn around the RNC, Priebus said, “I will keep expenses low. I will put in strong and serious controls. We will raise the necessary funds to make sure we are successful. We will work to regain the confidence of our donor base and I will personally call our major donors to ask them to rejoin our efforts at the RNC.”
- In the December 1, 2010 RNC candidate forum, Priebus provided a few details about his politics. He stated he believes the RNC is “part of” the Tea Party movement; he believes it is the Republican Party’s mission to “save our country, to save our party and to take back the White House”; believes someone who is “pro-abortion, pro-stimulus, pro-AIG … might not be a Republican” and believes that being pro-life is “paramount” to the Republican Party platform.
- According to NBC’s Mark Murray, Priebus has improved the RNC’s public image and raised a substantial amount of money for the organization[17] by working long hours and by establishing and maintaining personal relationships with donors

Finally someone in the GOP with a pair of brass ones. Wisconsin? Whatever’s in the water up there, bottle it and give it our GOP Congress critters and Senate windbags, except for DeMint.

The RNC also has God’s Word on their side:
“Pride goes before destruction,and a haughty spirit before a fall.” – Proverbs 16:18
“A proud and haughty man— “Scoffer” is his name;
He acts with arrogant pride. (But) the desire of the lazy man kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.” – Proverbs 21:24, 25

Initially I thought this guy was another rino but I sure as hell was wrong. The actions he’s taken along with a no-fear approach to the media shows that this guy is a warrior and just what is needed. Now they have to get Palin in to shore up the battleground states and bring them over to the light.
I think this may be an historic opportunity for the GOP to cripple for a couple of generations the monster the DNC has become. With enough seats they can also neuter the unions and take the SCOTUS back to what they are supposed to be and away from this activist, partisan (on the Democrat appointed side anyway) body that they have become.

Obamacare, an Absolutely Monumental Fraud
Fraudulent governmental initiatives and fraudulent private organizations all have one thing in common: They want the public to believe they are something they are not.
Case in point: Obamacare.
(The monumental frauds Facebook.com, Google.com, the Washington Post, and the United Nations, all of which are great fans of our president and all of which adhere to the misguided liberal principles of deception and distortion, will follow.)
Above all else, President Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party hoped Americans would fall for the lies and hype and believe the Affordable Care Act was eminently affordable and that people who already had medical insurance and who were averse to socialistic medicine would be “permitted” by their government to keep their coverage and their doctors.
As when Obama “absolutely” pledged that Obamacare would not impose any new taxes, both claims have proven to be frauds.
By the time Obamacare is fully implemented in 2018, it not only will be unaffordable to many people but 20 new or greatly-increased taxes will have been levied on Americans and millions of the currently-insured would be able, “permitted,” to retain their doctors only if government bureaucrats approve of their physicians and their course of treatment.
Of course, none of that applies to those bureaucrats, or congressmen, or other federal employees since the ACA exempts them–and millions of workers in protected unions and industries–from Obamacare’s onerous and largely unknown provisions.
When the United States Supreme Court unexpectedly ruled last week that Obama’s legacy issue was constitutional and is now indisputably the law of the land, SCOTUS neglected to incorporate very relevant Obamacare details in its controversial decision.
Never mind that passage of Obamacare had so consumed the president and the Democrat Party for almost two years while they controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress that they were forced to pass the ACA by bribing and intimidating opponents.
Never mind that Obama and his Democrat Party ignored far more critical problems . . .
