I agree with 98% of your post.

Agree with your list but would add Boehner, with great emphasis.

As a drunken sniveling crawling Speaker he has done more damage to conservatism than possibly all the others, with the exception of Rove.

Every good Speaker is out in public, making his claims, staking his turf, pounding on the enemy-—the enemy in the White House, in the Senate, even those in his own party if they need a good slap or two. Think Tip O’Neill, Newt, even Tom Delay who wasn’t Speaker but House Majority Leader.

McConnell may be a panicky little dipstick but with the majority we have in the House Boehner ought to be out front leading a positive, ruthless, victorious charge.

Instead the slobbering little sot is hiding away, ceding issue after issue if not race after race.

He has squandered so much that might have been ours.

Karl Rove and his friends wanted Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in 2010

Rick Santorum was with Rove on that, he also quietly supported Specter in 2010.

Yup I wrote this in a hurry on my smart phone. Had I had the time BONER surely would have been included. I don’t know who cries like a baby more, Boner or Glum Beck.

I recommend a trip by a phalanx of conservatives to the 2016 RNC convention like Abby Hoffman and the Yippies did to the DNC back in 1968 (only without the pot or the feces throwing....well ok....smoke ‘em if you got ‘em)

Time to either take bank the party or make a new better one.

I knew that 12 years ago. Brent’s a little late to the party.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It was really there all the time i.e. how the GOP did everything they could to cost Reagan the nomination etc.

The fight for control of the party is an old one going all the way back to the days of Rockefeller, Carnegie, and JP Morgan before the McKinley/Rockefeller election trying to rule the nation. That is actually where the term Rockefeller Republican originated. He was a Progressive as in meaning a Liberal. Rockefeller for all practical purposes after Lincoln was the father of expanded federal government and federal powers.

This passage of Scripture gives me hope. God misses nothing. This is an apt description of the left if I’ve seen one. Their days are numbered. I’d rather that they experienced radical changes in their hearts but failing that...God gets the last word. “When I consider that God is a just God, I fear for my nation.” Can’t remember who said it...Thomas Jefferson, I think.

Isaiah 30:12-14

Therefore, The Holy of Israel says this:
“Because you scorn this Message,
Preferring to live by injustice
and shape your lives on lies,
This perverse way of life
will be like a towering, badly built wall
That slowly, slowly tilts and shifts,
and then one day, without warning, collapses—
Smashed to bits like a piece of pottery,
smashed beyond recognition or repair,
Useless, a pile of debris
to be swept up and thrown in the trash.”

Clarification: A Rockefeller Republican back in the days of John David Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Carnegie, was supporting William McKinley a fiscal Conservative. They manipulated that election by having Teddy Roosevelt as VP and were betting Teddy would never be POTUS. They lost. Nelson later on was the Liberal Republican and where the term Rockefeller Republican was to mean Liberal. After the bust up of Standard Oil it seems Carnegie and Rockefeller got into a charity competition and thus the generations to follow leaned liberal including Nelson Rockefeller. Here is some interesting info on the Rockefeller causes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_family

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Rove is the most boring political analyst on TV today.

I love when he's doing his tedious gig 'cause I can get the dinner dishes in the dishwasher and settle back on the sofa with a hot cup of coffee after he's finished his evening drone.

Fox should have gotten rid of Rove and kept the toe sucker, Dick Morris. Morris was ever so much more entertaining.

Agreed. I always found Morris to be interesting, warts and all.
