Because of jackoffs like Boehner, McConnell, Graham, McCain, Jeb Bush, Rubio.....

[Pollster1]

Who cares about the republican party? I would abandon it in a second if they chose another RINO (e.g., Christie). Why are so many supporting something that will eliminate our country?

I've heard them say they get embarrassed going to Republican conventions with the pro-life crowd that's also there. My first experience of that was in Houston in 1992. The pro-life contingent there was huge, and I remember the way I was treated by that group, making other Republicans nervous. The bottom line is that the Republican Party is embarrassed by its own base. The Republican Party is ashamed of its base.

This is who the Republican party is today. They've hated us since the days of Reagan. We are an embarrassment to them.

Bacau see they are the party of stupid, lead by morons.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Well, that’s depressing.

[bicyclerepair]

SO TEMPTED TO SWITCH TO (I) !

[Ray76]

The “Republican Party” is only an illusion.

There is but one party: The Democrat-Republican Party.

Their differences in action and position (not rhetoric) are merely to propel a single agenda.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I would explain it but the NSA is monitoring. Stalin and Hitler recruited enemies as if they were friends to help gain their power. Then they were no longer useful. But since politicians don’t know history, it will be a surprise when ............

[Ray76]

They are a single organization that controls our government.

I saw it coming when George Bush and Carl Rove had this brilliant strategy in 2010 to appease liberals, and then liberal would like them more. No, all you’re doing is alienating your voter base. And while they were scratching their heads wondering why they got their asses kicked, they planned the same strategy for McCain for 2012.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is because they are convinced that they must be moderates and not bi ker and argue with the Rats. Instead they think they will gain popularity by giving the Rats everything they want.

Jeb Bush is getting the heavy push from GOPe - I'm sure Tokyo Rove is foaming at the mouth. While, in GOPe fashion, they would select a seemingly more Conservative running mate for the bottom of the ticket (and then muzzle them - ie Palin on the McCain ticket), this would leave ole' fatboy Christie out of a gig. Although, I could see Christie running (well, rolling) on the lower end of a Hillary Clinton ticket in a "Look at how bi-partisan we are" move from the Clinton camp. While we all know Christie is a RINO POS, the MSM and low info voters would become teary eyed over the brilliance that is the "Clinton Magic".

[Jack Hydrazine]

The caller needs to read my tag line!

[cripplecreek]

Chock full O stupid.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I’m ready to change my party affiliation to I.

I’m done with the Republicans and the Washington DC morons of both parties.

[rfp1234]

Because they are already jackasses. The good thing is, the Donkey party is so big, corrupt, and heterogeneous, it can’t possibly together for long.
Its left and extreme-left blocs will split, too.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I mean 2006, 2008. Whatever.

Why Do Republicans Support Something That Will Eliminate Their Party?

Because the Republican party is complicit — or if it is not, then it is useless in the extreme — consider the following:

1. When has the GOP pushed for wholesale reduction of FedGov agencies?
2. When has the GOP pushed back on executive overstepping, such as ending the "War on Drugs"?
3. What has the GOP been saying about the revelation of NSA's domestic spying?
4. When was the last time they pushed for the repeal of GCA or NFA?
5. When was the last time they pushed for the illegalization of abortion?
   (They pushed of-course-I-support-abortion-for-rape-and-incest Romney, even as they added a "not even for incest or rape" to the official anti-abortion plank.)
6. Accountability: What's become of Fast & Furious? What's become of Benghazi? What's been going on with the IRS political-targeting? What's likely going to happen with the gross overstepping of the NSA, violating the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments?

No, the GOP cannot have achieved failure so spectacular by means of mere incompetence: they are complicit.

The unprincipled corporate whores who sponsor RINOS are an embarrassment to conservatives too yaknow. They keep getting caught with their fingers in the public cookie jar, costing us elections, and giving conservatism a bad name. They wear the "party of the rich" banner proudly, when it in fact the Democrats who are the party of the extremely rich.

Worse yet, when the RINOS adopt halfway socialist ideas and they don't work, all Republicans wear the blame for the economic disaster of adopting Democrat policies. Shwarzenegger was a classic example of such, a glad handing backstabbing figurehead, a chump for the likes of Warren Buffet and Pete Wilson's claque of real estate crooks. They robbed us blind and handed us over to Jerry Brown.
