Is everyone ready for the big day of gluttony? Who is going away? Who is cooking? Who is eating out?
We will be eating out as usual. About 6 years ago I decided I was never cooking again. I got tired of being too exhausted to eat. The help wasn’t always so hot. Lots of showing up to eat and running off to do other things.
Extreme wings of GOP denying culpability in loss
Evangelical leaders and conservative activists have a simple message for establishment Republicans about Mitt Romney’s failed presidential bid: We told you so.
After nearly two weeks of listening to GOP officials pledge to assert greater control over the party and its most strident voices in the wake of Romney’s loss, grass-roots activists have begun to fight back, saying that they are not to blame for the party’s losses in November.
“The moderates have had their candidate in 2008 and they had their candidate in 2012. And they got crushed in both elections. Now they tell us we have to keep moderating. If we do that, will we win?” said Bob Vander Plaats, president of the Family Leader. Vander Plaats is an influential Christian conservative who opposed Romney in the Iowa caucuses 10 months ago and opposed Sen. John McCain’s candidacy four years ago.
