People in NY would be thrilled to have King as the nominee; then they will vote him down by a huge margin.

No, but he can get in the “debates” and generate a bunch of negative sound bites that the leftist media can use against candidates like Cruz and Paul. What do people think he meant by “just to prevent Presidient Ted Cruz or Rand Paul”?

Rhetorical question, I know...but why do so many ‘Republicans’ attack Conservatives far more aggressively than they go after democrats?

I believe being Republican does not necessarily equate to conservative anymore.

In fact, I’d say many Republicans are really Democrat-lite.

Because it's really one party.

Peter Tork - I know.
Larry King - I’ve seen.

Who’s Peter King?

Any republican who damages conservatism more than a liberal could, deserves to be voted out even in favor of a liberal.

Um...No. No. No.

Stupid progressive. You just don’t get it do you? See, we didn’t want Bush, but we held our nose, because he was the lesser of 2 evils. And we didn’t want McCain, but some of us saw Palin as an advantage, so we really held our nose for that one. And then along came Romney, who again, we held our nose for.

We don’t want a progressive anymore. We don’t want the “lesser of 2 evils”, because it’s STILL evil. So if you run, Peter Progressive King, you pretend Republican, in all your arrogance and self righteous elitism, you’ll lose just like ALL the progressives, who came before you. Because THIS time, more people (IMO) are awake, and recognize the left and right are playing together and we need to elect a TRUE conservative, who stands out above all the others for what WE want.

Ted Cruz is one of those men. Rand Paul, I question, based on his latest voter ID statements. But Allen West, Ben Carson, Mike Lee, are just a few others, who stand tall above any of the pathetic loser candidates the establishment tries to shove down our throats.

So go suck it Mr. King. I believe more people than not, see your stripes, smell your stench, and know where you are. And I don’t think you are wanted any more than want Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or even Marco (amnesty) Rubio, are.

Although one may (reasonably, I think) advance the case that Rand Paul is rather isolationist in his views, how is it that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio might be so described?

King would run just to prove the Peter Principle.

After redistricting a few years back, King inherited a good portion of Steve Israel’s district. King is now pandering to the Democrat voters that once voted for Israel. Consequently, King is a feckless RINO.

I am definitely more of a Cruz/Walker kind of guy. Rand Paul has too much of his father’s beliefs in foreign policy.

The mission of the GOP Establishment to prevent any conservative, libertarian, constitutionalist or any non-Insider Globalist from receiving the nomination. Reagan and Goldwater were aberrations.
