Rep. Peter King of New York—who told Newsmax this week he may seek the GOP nomination for president in 2016—says the major reason he would run is to save the troubled Republican Party.

And the New York congressman took a shot Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and other Republican lawmakers for their “isolationist policies.”

“It bothers me when the leading Republicans out there—someone like Rand Paul seems more concerned about an American being killed in Starbucks by a CIA drone than he is about Islamic terrorism,” King told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” …

He added Paul and Cruz don’t represent solid Republican views on national defense. …

Every time King says “Islamic terrorism”, I want to throw the pic of this mural in his face, because it’s proof that he supported and supports it.

He is a life-long phony POS.

Save the GOP translated means “to prevent a conservative from getting the nomination at all costs!”

Reagan 1980, unabashed conservative, 44 state landslide
Reagan 1984, unabashed conservative, 49 state landslide
Bush, 1988 (Reagan’s coattails), 40 state landslide
Bush, 1992 “save the GOP type”, loser
Dole, 1996 “save the GOP” type, loser
Bush, 2000 “save the GOP” type, bare winner
Bush, 2004 “save the GOP” type, bare winner
McCain, 2008 “save the GOP” type, loser
Romney, 2012 “save the GOP” type, loser

This from a guy who didn’t have the cojones to risk his seat by running against Gillibrand who was and is nothing more than Chuckie Cheese’s sock puppet. Maybe he’s got family who could use campaign buck he’d raise.

Rep. Peter King (RINO-NY)? Hell, NO!

[NY.SS-Bar9]

I think if we picked one person at random to be president we would be better off.

Heck, why not make the entire FEDGOV like jury duty or the military. You get called up, you have to serve two years then go back to civilian life.

Folks who shoot at Cruz need to br put down.

Well, if that's really his reason for running (and, we know it isn't), he's toast!
