For some reason, even after "binders," "birth control," and Big Bird actually did help Obama win a second term, the Republican Party is apparently still under the illusion that, just because the Left and the media launch a Narrative that's objectively false and nonsensical, we don't have to push back against it. But if those exit polls taught us anything, it's that we do.

LETTING US DOWN: GOP LOSING SUSAN RICE DEBATE - John Nolte/Breitbart

The GOP must stop letting us down like this. We can't change the media; we can't make the media do their jobs honestly, and we certainly can't assume that the media's ever going to do the right thing.

We can't lose the Susan Rice debate on the facts. The facts are on our side. The same goes for Libya. But unless and until we're fully prepared on the facts and willing to then take the debate directly to the media, we'll keep losing the game, because we drop too many easy pop-ups.

...The Democrats overcame this problem, and they're wrong about absolutely everything.

But as my grandmother used to say, Yougottawanna.

REPUBLICANS MUST LEARN TO SPEAK 'JACK KEMP' AGAIN - John Nolte/Breitbart

The GOP has plenty of talent. History proves our ideas are right. Polls prove people like our ideas best.

But we're losing rhetorically.

Obama, the media, and Democrats talk circles around us, constantly catch us off guard, and because we never seem half as prepared as they are, we drop one easy one after another -- which costs us the game.

It's time for the GOP to get organized and solve this problem. It's going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of something Democrats are by design infinitely better at than we are (organization), but that's what it's going to take.

Questions about our faith, abortion, poverty, gay rights, etc. should all be drilled and drilled and drilled until we're able to turn them into what they really are: Opportunities to spread the gospel of success, compassion, liberty, and opportunity that is conservatism.
