"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

David Limbaugh makes a good case in explaining why Boehner and the establishment Republicans are foolish to attack the conservative TEA party instead of the Democrats. As many others have pointed out, the only reason Boehner is Speaker of the House today is the fact that TEA party candidates helped accomplish electing a House Republican majority in the 2010 elections.
I agree that establishment Republicans attacking conservatives is foolish and could be self-defeating. ObamaCare is presenting the GOP with an opportunity to turn back socialist government but when the establishment spends it's time denigrating conservatives it shows it's true colors while throwing away a rare political opportunity (the failure of ObamaCare).

The Republican Party Establishment is hard to distinguish from the Democrat Party Establishment isn’t it? They seem to be different arms of one and the same party. I think the GOPe is likely the Washington Generals of politics, they are supposed to lose.

Instead of focusing on their common Democratic “enemy,” Republicans are firing at one another.
AH!.. the truth comes out.. NOT ALL republicans are indeed republicans..
You can tell when a republican is not a republican EASILY!...
They speak of the federal government AS THE GOVERNMENT..
When the the feds are ONLY One of the three governments in America...
The federal government is NOT the government.. it’s only one of them..
1) State gov’t..
2) Local government..
3) federal gov’t
When State and Local government is far far more important.. than federal government..
ONLY in a democracy is there ONE GOVERNMENT..
In a Republic State governments OWN the federal government..
THEY ALLOW it to even exist...
Many republicans are IN FACT democrats..
The republican party needs to take a BATH.. it’s dirty.. and stinks..

They would rather lie down with the enemies they know than conservatives that want to balance budgets and shrink government and their power.
That IMO is the bottom line.

At this point, what is the National Republican Party offering that is attractive to the conservative component of the Republican base?
The answer: Nothing!!
In fact, guys like Boner are spitting in my eye and telling me it’s raining.
I think the GOP is going to be sadly surprised the day after Election Day 2014.

So-called establishment Republicans tend to believe tea partyers are uncompromising, impractical, overly aggressive kamikazes who are willing to destroy the nation just to make a point.
GOP-es are Dopes.

The establishment wing is feeling its oats today, but it better realize that it is dangerously close to biting the very hand that feeds it and cutting off its own life support. That point disappeared in the rear view mirror a few miles back.

the GOP seems determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory a victory not just for the GOP, but also for the American people.That's the thing. They want to snatch OUR victories, the American people's victories, and throw them into the jaws of defeat. The GOP works against the interests of the American people.
The Republicrats ride in the same limo with the Dumbocans. If the American people every do get a victory then the Republicrats and Dumbocans will have to start walking.
