In a bold display of hubris, he accused his fellow Republican senators of spoiling his gambit by “bombing our own troops.”

THAT was a bold display of hubris? Have these retards heard the crapola from the likes of Boxer, Reid, Obama, McLame, King?

Cruz scares these people worse than Reagan did.

“Karl Rove said “no sentient being” believed would ever work”

What would Rove know of sentient beings? Ha! Santa, put a mirror under Rove’s tree this year.

“like determining which of the party’s warring factions will control the GOP going forward.”

I don’t consider it a war, I consider it more of an emancipation proclamation being given to the GOP by true Conservatives.

There will be no hope for the country, unless the Tea Party types take over and control the Republican Party. Sadly, there is not much hope of that happening. Unfortunately, a third party would be another disaster. Even sadder, I am afraid that the USA will be the USSA, in a Communist winter for many years.

I just filled my car with $2.95 gas!

If we’d started a war in Syria like the “grownups” wanted, it would be $5.95.

Sit back and watch the establishment GOP slime the tea partiers as “isolationists” and anti-semites.

The “war” will be between the elitist RINO faction on one side (with almost no invested constituency beyond the monied country club, especially true in winnable red states)and the rank-and-file conservatives, values voters, tea party activists, and many libertarians on the other side.

The Republican Party is just a very small elitist group that believes in “accommodation” the way Karensky and Dubcek thought it was possible to coexist with communists. The sooner the Republican Party is rendered entirely defunct the better.

Karensky and Dubcek lost. The freedom fighters bent on destroying the Bolsheviks won. And they will win again because communism fails—absolutely.

At some point, the GOP, for its own sake, will have to reconcile those competing visions for the party, represented respectively by the "suicide caucus" and the "surrender caucus."

The unvoiced assumption in this formulation is that to fight is to lose. Hence the "fighting caucus" is labeled the "suicide caucus". If to fight is to lose, then why not preemptively surrender? That's the inescapable logic of the Republican Elites, aka the Fascist enabler caucus for whom no fight is worth the effort.

What good are they if this is their attitude? Every fight worth fighting is worth fighting to win, and no fight worth winning comes with a guaranteed outcome.

These phony Washington GOP leeches, sucking as they do at the leftover drips of the Democrat teat, will never be any good to the upright, self-reliant American man and woman. They need to be drummed out in disgrace.

This author seems to assume the GOP should lose, whether by surrender or by “suicide”.... some how those are the only two options?

Again, I like seeing this kind of reportage on Yahoo news, where many low-information types get their news. After all, it was the upstart Obama who tore up the annointed Hillary’s campaign and captured the support of the youth who identified with the “outsider” and ignored what the political gurus had ordained.

There are a lot of Ron Paul supporters floating around out there looking for a candidate they can support.

I cut loose those dickless wimps in the GOP establishment after several decades of being patronized, marginalized and villainized.

No More!

I am a registered Conservative and I support guys like Ted Cruz. No more appeasers - Reagan wasn't an appeaser and he took the blows. He brought us back from irrelevance to power after the disastrous Carter Admin and took the same kind of hazing that every Conservative who comes to the fore suffers.

Time to consign the Republican Party to the dustbin of History - they couldn't govern when they had majorities in both houses. Enough of them. Lets bring on some guys and gals who love and believe in America for a change, and will fight for her the same way our Troops in the battlefield do!



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Wasn’t the original strategy of the Tea Party to run as Republicans?

I seem to recall that the pre-2010 Tea Party chose not to form into a separate party, since that would guarantee failure by splitting the conservative vote and giving the future to the Democratic-Socialists.

So, to avoid that Third Party Curse, the Tea Partiers ran as Republicans. After all, Republicans stand for lower taxes, less government and more liberty, right? Well they did once, anyway.

Seems the earlier strategy actually worked. The Tea Party has made inroads into the GOP camp and now the GOP wants them out of the tent.

Uhhh ... no, sorry, we’re not leaving. In fact, that stuff about lower taxes and all sounds pretty good right about now. Yeah, it sounds rather nice...

The Republican civil war is just getting started

I hope so. And I know what side I'm on - - the side that doesn't consort with the scumbag Democrats.

That CR surrender was of 100 million barrels of pork each worth 17 billlion $$$. And that’s the way it should be presented by conservatives. Any so called Republican who voted for this os a pig...

Re: “The fissure has been growing since 2010”

Wrong - the fissure has been growing for 25 years.

Internal warfare began to openly simmer when G.H.W. Bush broke his “No new taxes” pledge around 1990.

The Newt Gingrich implosion/betrayal from 1996-2002 added gasoline to the fire.

In that same time period, both “National Review” and the “WSJ” editorial page, at one time the intellectual leaders of the Conservative movement, began moving to the Center under the guidance of Rich Lowry at NR and Paul Gigot and David Brooks at WSJ.

Bloody, unabashed political warfare began around 2005-2006, when George W. Bush nominated Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court and then partnered with John McCain trying to push Amnesty down Conservative throats.

Today, after Marco Rubio’s Amnesty, after our passive acceptance of ObamaCare and gay marriage, and after relentless attacks from RINO’s and GOP elites, this old boy is looking for a new political party.
