The GOP has lost the base. Regardless of what you, or any of the other apologists post.

I didn't post anything to the contrary.

'pointing out where you are being illogical' is going to win the party votes?

So for some reason you think I'm trying to win your vote? If so, I'm not sure why you think this. I'm pointing out fallacy in a line of argument on a political thread. That is all.

All the libertarian tea partiers should run next cycle as democrats and the social conservative tea partiers run as republicans....

Then when the tea party caucus gets to be the majority part in both senate and house they should bolt from both parties at the same time and create the “unified tea party” unified on fiscal responsibility.

Imagine the logs the MsM would lay on that day...!

It could render a major blow to BOTH parties!

Sadly, will never happen.

We need to look at the tactis of the “UKIP” party in Britain as it could be a goodd model for how the tea party can become a major party unto itself!

The fool's finger ever goes wabbling toward the flame.

Kipling just wrote down what everyone with eyes sees.

I can't decide for the next phase, his poem 'If' or 'The Betrothed' is more appropriate. Let me consider this in a wreath of smoke....

You have a reputation of supporting Republicans.

Looking at your prior postings shows that.

You don't much support conservatives.

Yes, I do support conservatives like Ryan, Palin, Hensarling, Issa, etc. who are all Repubs.

But why should I support four Paul-ites who never obtained notoriety till this week? I don't think a whole lot of Ron Paul so why would I be a knee-jerk and automatically believe these Paul-ite reps who did not support the Ryan bill?

“The conservatives in the house need to band together and refuse to vote for Boner as speaker...even if that puts Pelosi back in.

Time to play hardball with this ahole!” - B

You Betcha!

Tell boehner that conservatives are voting LT COl West for speaker, and if he doesn’t get himself and the other RINOs on board they lose their chairmanships when speaker Pelosi replaces them. Boehner drew first blood. Time fro conservatives to go Rambo on him.

Hensarling? Seriously?

You aren't conservative. You are Republican.

I notice you don't list Bachmann.

You are not the solution. You are part of the problem.

You didn't ask me for an exhaustive list.

Yes, I like Bachmann.

So if I get one wrong I'm out of your club, eh? LOL.

He just gave away 800 Billion dollars without notifying his base.


Boehner’s base is located on K Street apparently. It sure isn’t us.

You want someone who votes in favor of global warming on the Energy Committee?

Actually Boehner already put one there. Remember the 100 watt light bulb ban?

Been saying it and saying it and saying it....

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
