Ignore us, ridicule us, attack us. We will win - A Tea Party message for establishment Republicans
fox news ^ | 9/25/13 | m kibbe

The Republican Party is under attack from within, the storied traditions of respectable governance are being cast aside by uncivilized hooligans. At least that’s what they want you to think. And this time, they aren’t Democrats trying to make Republicans look obstructionist. They are the aging pooh-bahs of the GOP, who see their positions of power threatened by an up-and-coming cadre of young leaders who posses a dangerous superpower: principles.

Leaders like Sens. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz have joined a growing movement in the House and Senate populated by members who ran for office in 2010 and 2012 on the solemn promise to do everything in their power to get rid of the ill-gotten law called ObamaCare.

Unlike some of their colleagues, who ran on promises to repeal ObamaCare and balance the budget and return power and money back to American families, these guys seem to actually mean it. Woe unto them.

The American people have seen “the process” for what it is: a charade. In recognition of their principles, the establishment has turned its attacks dogs on its own party and on the grassroots conservatives who trusted them.

A veritable who’s who from the Republican old guard is being rolled out to opine from the sidelines and serve as “unnamed sources” in defending the establishment’s united front against their own party and the people who elected them.

Their complaint? That the young-guns aren’t respecting “the process

We WILL win. Or we will decimate this so-called party called Republicans. Do what you will at your peril.

I was so impressed with the NEW GOP the other night; Cruz, Rubio, Lee ... I have a different issue with each of them, but will ‘suck it up’ to support them instead of the Elitist GOP ...

Roughly half the people in America are receiving manna from Washington on down.

The Tea Party won’t prevail at the polls. It’s going to take something more.

See tagline.

IMO, yesterday afternoon John McCain put a trigger to the head of the Republican Party, pulled the trigger and for all intents and purposes, ended its illustrious history.

I have a new confidence the Social and Fiscal Conservatives are on the verge putting an end to Progressivism.

When the Senate Majority leader resorts to calling the tea party a bunch of anarchists, it implies he has lost the battle.

Reid said yesterday. “I do believe that what we have here with the so-called tea party is a new effort to strike government however they can, to hurt government. Any day that government is hurt is a good day for them. It’s, as I said before, the new anarchy.”

I think we’re looking at a couple of decades here where the electoral battles will be fought between Democratic Socialists and Libertarians. I doubt Reagan Conservatism will be back in my lifetime.

What the “so-called tea party” actually is doing is trying to rid the government of elite politicians who are only in this for themselves and the h*ll with the American people.
To these “politicians”, the American people are only valuable to serve them, the elite...

Hopefully, the American people are waking up to this fact and will begin to vote these leeches out of office and return our government to the people, by the people, and for the people.

There's nothing wrong with Harry Reid that a good flogging wouldn't fix.

Problem was, he pointed the pistol the wrong way.

Stupid RINOs don’t even realize their rebukes are the best evidence we have that we are on the right track.

Exactly what I thought.

I won’t ever vote for anyone who didn’t support the defund effort. Because of the actions of Mcscumbag and his ilk, republicans won’t take the senate and will probably lose the house in the next election.

They have committed suicide.

Well, to be fair, I think he shot himself long ago......

It's about 75% of the Republican party he was aiming at yesterday.

“I think we’re looking at a couple of decades here where the electoral battles will be fought between Democratic Socialists and Libertarians.”

And that story will end with the Liberaltarians caving on the only issue they disagree with the commie moonbats on...fiscal issues.

They then get a big sack of dope to smoke with their queer boyfriend and forget why they ever disagreed with the moonbats on anything.

The End.

“Do you support Ted Cruz?”

That’s the litmus test candidates must pass to get a primary vote, cash, etc.
