| Reince Priebus will run for another term as chairman of the Republican National Committee, The Daily Caller has learned. Priebus made the announcement Friday afternoon in a letter emailed to the 168 members of the committee. “When I return the week after Thanksgiving, I intend to make an official announcement that I am running to continue on as your Chairman, but I wanted to let you all know first,” Priebus says in the letter, which was obtained by TheDC through a Republican source.

Priebus was such a success he surely deserves another term.

Let´s see - - - R-E-I-N-C-E - - is that a word? Ummm - - what else? P-R-I-E-B-U-S - - does that make any sense?
REINCE PRIEBUS - - oh, well - - I guess that´s the best we can do.

Who? He´s in the press even less often than the feckless Michael Steele, and that´s saying something.
Wish we had a Howard Dean or a Debbie Wasserman Whatever, with a loud mouth and hammering away relentlessly at our talking points. Instead, there is no message, other than "the party of the rich."

He was better than Michael Steele as far as world view goes, but that´s not saying much. I´m looking for someone who will spend the time between now and the next election fighting for anti-fraud measures and non-partisan debates.
With Michael Steele expressing interest again, I just shake my head sadly.

There is no such thing, anymore, of responsibility and accountability. The Republicans take one in the chest and they seem to think it is perfectly fine to keep the head idiots that led them into the disaster. If I had led that gargantuan screw-up, I would be slinking out of town in the trunk of an old Oldsmobile.

Nothing changes until something changes. Keep doing what you are doing and keep getting what you get. One thing is clear, the Republican Party needs to get it´s act, and the candidate we run together. The last two elections I did not support for McCain or Romney AT ALL in the primaries. BUt they got the Establishment nod and we got what we got. A major asswhuppin´. Next time will be different for me. If I do not support the eventual nominee before they are nominated, I will not vote. At all. So listen up and mark my words. Conservative candidates or I sit home. Don´t try and talk me into voting for the good of the party because that´s trying to lay a guilt trip on me instead of a real candidate I can actually vote for. To thine ownself be true. Not to thine Republican Party be true. Preibus can take a hike. He had his chance and lost big time.

I´m gong to disagree with the prevailing sentiment here folks.
RP is NOT a RINO. The RNC is not connected to any presidential or congressional campaigns (who hire their own advisors). What the RNC does is raise ca$h for the GOP & recruit strong candidates for winnable seats. Before RP took over, the finances were in a shambles thanks to the lame campaigns of 2006 & 2008 and the bumblings of Michael Steele. Remember Todd Akin ? Afte his dopey remarks, RP tried to get him to withdraw soon enough for a replacement to be named. He even yanked his RNC funding. At some point the candidates themselves have to take reponsibility for their mistakes.
Everyone loved RP after the 2010 midterms. What changed since then ? He wasn´t the architect for the successes that year and he isn´t responsible for the losses this year. He did what he was supposed to do. The answer is to recruit better candidates that can enunciate strong conservative policies. Lighten up.

Priebus went on Mark Levin´s show and LIED. The RNC had not given any money to Michele Bachmann, and when asked, he told Levin that if Bachmann´s race was tight, she would get money. She barely scraped by..and never received a penny from the RNC. Boehner would have rather seen her seat go to a democrat, rather than a republican who is TEA party and Priebus knew that. I´m sick of them all.

The White House has released a photograph of President Obama skeet shooting at Camp David -- some proof for critics skeptical about whether Obama, amid efforts to tighten gun control, saying he takes target practice at the presidential retreat and that he has a “profound respect” of the tradition of hunting. The official photo apparently depicts Obama – wearing protective glasses and earmuffs -- firing the shotgun Aug. 4, 2012. It was released Friday on the White House’s Flickr account.

You know a European country is in trouble when its business leaders complain about government spending and taxes. (Snip) Nearly 100 French CEOs, among them the heads of Accor, the hotel chain, Air France, Carrefour, L´Oréal, Peugot, Siemens, SociétéGénerale and Veolia, the giant waste and water utility, are urging socialist President Francois Hollande to reduce government spending by 60 billion euros (about $76 billion) over the next five years, and reduce payroll taxes by 30 billion euros over the next two years. The cost of government, they say, has reached “the limits of what is bearable.”

With new cybersecurity legislation failing to pass the Senate this week, expectations are growing that the White House will soon step in with an executive order to shore up cyberdefenses for the power grid, water purification, and other vital systems. White House officials have said that while the president prefers a broad legislative solution, the executive branch would have to act this year if Congress did not. A document purporting to be a leaked draft of the executive order has been on the Internet since September.

The one-time head of the U.S. Africa Command was demoted Tuesday and ordered to repay $82,000 for unauthorized spending on extravagant trips and other expenses. The move by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta means Gen. William “Kip” Ward will lose one star and retire as a three-star lieutenant general, according to The Associated Press. The demotion is just the latest bit of general misbehavior following the resignation of ex-Army Gen. David Petraeus for an adulterous affair, and reports that Marine Gen. John Allen is under investigation for his “flirtatious” exchanges with the whistleblower in the Petraeus case.

Three of those charged have pleaded guilty, including Democratic State Representative Hudson Hallum who has since resigned. Hallum had allegedly told a local city councilman — who is now a co-defendant — that they “need to use that black limo and buy a couple of cases of some cheap vodka and whiskey to get people to vote.”

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
