I say the Tea Party needs to step forward, and if necessary form a new party.

Now is the time.

It is still early in the process, so we’ll have lots of time to work on all the fine details. But we need to make a change.

Maybe. :D

The strong arm of the IRS fractured the structure of the Tea Party.

There is nothing “moderate” about allowing and encouraging invasion by illegal aliens...and definitely nothing “moderate” about the federal takeover of healthcare.

crop of no-compromise lawmakers

B.S. We're willing to compromise.

They want to grow government 25%. We want to shrink government 50%.

Let's compromise and shrink it 20%. We'll talk again next year.

There seems to be a sense that the desire is for smaller government, but a positioning of wanting MORE LOCALIZED government might be more accurate. Less FEDERAL control...devolved down to the local level...power to the people who actually live where the rules are imposed,understand the local issues, etc. This changes the dynamic from YES vs. NO dynamic. Just a thought.

What I couldn’t believe was Paul Ryan collaborating with
Schumer. I guess that does it for me as far as Ryan is concerned.

ANYBODY who hooks up with Schumer has to realise .. it’s a set-up .. Schumer appears to have been tasked with taking out the top repubs in the House and Senate.

First it was McCain, then Rubio, and now Ryan.

As soon as Rubio signed on with the Gang of 8, I knew it was a set-up, and Schumer was going to play his little game of pretending to get along, but all the while he’s ratting on the whole procedure to the Regime so they can set up a trap.

The GOP better wake up and realise Schumer is NOT A FRIEND TO THE REPUBS.

Unfortunately, the AP and almost every other MSM outlet gets it wrong...but not because they try to get it right, they try to get it about them and their party. That’s okay, we know what is happening and it is a lot worse than they or any other MSM group would report.

Sorry but I think that the Republican Party has abandoned and disowned us. It is really time to be independent and vote as such. That is okay as the Republicans have long since become semi-Democrats, just a milder version.

Can things change - yes but only if we go in a different direction. Unfortunately, it might take years to accomplish but worth it - you bet! Sorry to say that I am no longer a Republican (never a Democrat) but will vote for anybody that is not either major party today. Sometimes it takes a lot of folks to turn before something happens - I’m sure hopping that it happens in my lifetime (but not likely).

I love the AP’s report though (they might have finally got it right)

The GOP has sold out. If there is a solution, it’s not with the GOP. Free thinking, freedom loving people are on their own. Has it ever really been otherwise?

The conservative American Action Network spent $750,000 on pro-reform commercials.

The biggest lie in the world!

The Republican establishment, however, is concerned about 2014. Party leaders worry about the GOP's most passionate advocates walking away, particularly those supporters angered by the Senate's immigration bill. In a nod to the tea party, business and conservative groups have launched ad campaigns recasting the bill as a national security measure.

Snort!

I still will continue saying the Tea Party makes a mistake by not having a MEASUREMENT SYSTEM in place that we could all monitor. All they need to do is state their stance and how that stance would be displayed on each piece of legislation. Then sign up for GovTrac or something and start measuring what these people are doing. A little conservative/liberal gas gauge-like graphic for each candidate. If they know their lib vote is going to be seen, they might change their ways. And it wouldn’t be an opinion, it would be a fact. Imagine what that graphic would look like for Lindsey Geaham who says he will be running as a conservative. His gas gauge graphic would be on EMPTY.
