On the Rush Limbaugh show today Dement said that Harry Reid was a very good friend of his.
As far as I’m concerned he just sank below the surface of the sewer, and the bubbles have stopped rising.
How can U.S. conservatism win future U.S. elections, when “the takers” are now the majority of U.S. voters? Also, amnesty for illegal immigrants will create many new pro-leftist voters, which will succeed in increasing the divide between the total number of leftist voters and the total number of conservative voters, for a very long time!
A question has been raised as to whether the GOP gave DeMint the boot through the door to get him out of the leadership of the Senate Tea Party Caucus and conservatives in Congress in general.
I have no idea but Boehner is carrying out a purge of conservatives, which, if the Tea Party Caucus and other sympathetic Republicans have the will to fight, they might be able to overthrow Bonehead and his bunch of spineless losers.
As I wrote yesterday, all they have to do is to withdraw their support for Boehner and Friends on several key votes, whether for appropriations, supporting a deal with Obama, etc, or even just showing up and voting PRESENT. While this will ensure a Democrat victory, it will be a major bitchslap demonstration aka a Vote of No Confidence in Boehner’s leadership.
Also, as I understand it, if he does not get 218 votes to retain his House leadership, he is out.
Any way you look at it, he has got to go.
Right now the Republicans (GOP) look and act like wimps, cowards, and little lost children thanks to Boehner. His increasingly authoritarian approach to internal dissent is making him seem just like Obama and Reid.
Way to go John! Now you are becoming the enemy.
I’m hoping that Michelle Bachmann and a couple of the “boys” will refuse to cooperate with him, even to the point of leaving the Republican Party if Boehner stays in power.
The GOP needs the Tea Party Caucus, not the other way round.
The winds are changing direction and the GOP is downwind of one big smelly political revolt fart.
If Boehner is going to act like a political skunk, let him smell like one to, to the voters and the people who fund the GOP. Remember the old saying, “Money talks, Bullshit walks” and I’m tired of the GOP treating principled conservatives like bullcrap.
This time Boehner has stepped in it, real good and deep, so the conservatives should scrap him off the shoe of the GOP like one would dog crap. He is neither principled or strong-willed, and his tactics over the past two years have been abject failures, a reflection of and on himself.
We have not time for failures in this fight to regain the soul of our country. We cannot have “weak sisters” in our ranks because we must be able to trust our fellow conservatives to live up to high political standards but also not to be afraid of the right fight.
In other words, re Boehner and the Tea Party, and conservatives in general, “Shit or get off the pot.”
Allen West and other “young Turks” are rearing to go into the battle and take the fight to our real enemies, the Liberals, Democrats and Marxists, right up to, into and over the White House (aka the Red House).
A cheer for the Tea Party should be:
“We’ve got the spirit, we’ve got the guts,
We’ve got Boehner by the nuts, pull team, pull!”
I don’t get the why of this, the surprise of this...I don’t think it’s a Presidential run thing though.
What could it be? I feel like he is letting us all down at the worst moment in history by saying “I quit”.
Could his paycheck/benes could be more at Heritage than US govt?
I like him, just wonder why now and think wierd!
But Haritage is turning left..is he going to run democrat ticket?
DeMint/Palin
Sounds good to me!
No thank you.

I will take DeMint over La Raza Rubio (and the other La Raza Republicans thinking of running), even with DeMint leaving the US Senate
The GOP cannot win in 2016 running Cuban RINOs thinking they will get Mexican and Puerto Rican voters that way. The GOP and its Liberal wing needs to get over fetish for Rubio and the other La Raza RINOs
I wanted DeMint this year. Actually, I wanted almost anyone but Romney, but DeMint was with Palin at the top of my list. I’m not sure he has what it takes for 2016. If he’s going to go for it, he needs to start campaigning now and make it perfectly clear that he is in the race (same for Sarah - I love her, but I’d like a commitment within the next few months from either of them). What we need is a prominent, articulate conservative clearly in the race so the rest of the true conservatives will stay out. We have to avoid dividing our forces, which would allow the establishment to shove Christie or another Bush down our throats, just like Dole, McCain, and Romney were chosen as bland enough for the GOP leadership.
