Mike Lee said the Republican party is to blame for our current problems as well as the Democrats. Yep!

If America raises the minimum wage to $10 an hour, then perhaps it ought to lower welfare to the same amount!#tcot #sotu #foxnewsCHAT

.@CathyMcMorris got solid 80+ on #BingPulse from R's and I's plus 50+ from D's. Obama couldn't break 50 with R's or I's.

Best rebuttal I've seen in years.

If we are going to reform welfare - start with Corporate Welfare first.

Rapunzel · « **Reply #434 on:** January 29, 2014, 03:55:07 am »

Talking about responsible healthcare reform putting power in the hands of doctors and patients

alicewonders · « **Reply #435 on:** January 29, 2014, 03:55:26 am »

"If we're going to reform welfare, we really should start with Corporate Welfare."

That was good.. his speech was much better than Rogers. His speech was substantive.

Much better. Lee really got into specifics in naming who in Congress is working on different solutions.

Kibby (Freedom Works) pointing out the difference in Rogers and Lee is you have to present an alternative to the opposition and Rogers life story was great, but how did that show how the GOP can do better than the DEMS?

Rapunzel · « **Reply #439 on:** January 29, 2014, 04:01:43 am »

They said the GOP "consultancy class" has so brainwashed the GOP to be nice and not say the wrong thing that they have all lost the fire in the belly or the ability to hit back at the other party.

The republican response was akin to liberal emotionalism. Know your audience. If anyone took the time to listen to the SOTU, they are not dummies, and don't need that kind of speech. Know your audience, and then, speak to them.

Rapunzel · « **Reply #442 on:** January 29, 2014, 04:03:41 am »

More..........

that before you can see this is our plan to make things better for you the GOP has to first tell the American people what the Democrats are doing to make things hard for them and they NEVER do that - they just said we have a plan........... and we have a plan means zilch without explaining why you need to have a plan - AKA 9 million of you have lost your health insurance because of DEMOCRATS!

I think we should have sent Tara out to do the rebuttal.. at least it wouldn't have been milque-toast.

I agree with Buck, he should have led with that....

I'm curious what Rand Paul will say.

Alice - I am really enjoying the Blaze coverage of this......... such a breath of fresh air!

alicewonders · « **Reply #448 on:** January 29, 2014, 04:09:31 am »

Yep. We are not going to be able to open people's minds up to our solutions until we expose the lies and deceptions of the Democrats.
