Look at it this way. We have to ask ourselves about who’s destroying the Republican Party. With the Democratic Party there is absolutely no doubt...

If Obamacare continues to get bad press for months to come, Cruz is going to look like Superman.

If the conservatives can change the direction of the party, they have the option to use this for a campaign slogan:

Vote Republican for a Change.

This is to presume that the Republican party is “to big to fail”.

No one person could make a vital, strong and committed political party fail. A REAL party would not fall to infighting and backstabbing for no advantage in electoral competitiveness. Arguing how many angels may dance upon the head of a pin is not only pointless and fruitless, it destroys party discipline and squanders political capital.

The Republican party has allowed itself to die by inches, not because there was dialogue between members, but because there was NOT. So much energy has been wasted, dribbled away on petty differences in doctrine, and a wish to silence dissent, that those thus silenced are reduced to smoldering anger. Like a fire in a haystack, this smoldering anger devours the stack from within, leaving a hollowed-out shell which suddenly collapses, igniting the remaining part of the stack and burning everything to the ground.

Most of the GOP we have in Washington seem more like Collaborators versus Opposition to the Marxists, Statists, and Progressives in the Democrat party.

Paul Ryan hooked to “Obamacare forever” is a sure sign republicans have learned nothing and plan to forfeit the 2016 elections. They’d rather fight and demean Ted Cruz than Obama. They take their orders from the WH and from leftist media and consultants - while ignoring and insulting their voter base.

Indeed. I was tuning in to Kudlow this morning to hear his initial monologue slamming Cruz's actions; and stating that the republicans were wrong, and so on. He was all for funding the government, raising the debt ceiling, etc.

I turned him right off.

Don't know what he's thinking, but it's not conservatism. Straight line defeatism more likely.

The day that The Patriot Act was signed into law, Republican lawmakers have been looked at, by a large group of Americans, as traitors.

The continuing action to curtail American civil liberties, and swallowed by Republicans, since The Patriot Act, is what started my examining The Libertarian Party.

The majority of Republicans today, including those that were combatting Sarah Palin’s possible political future, now, see Americans looking at them with ‘faces set like flint’, to borrow a term.

The majority of Republican lawmakers, and their created dominions, must be toppled, if America is to survive as a free nation.

The new crowd of Republicans, ‘get it’.

Sounds like I won’t be reading PJ Media again any time soon.

This chart shows why we are so screwed: the idiot Bush wrecked the GOP brand and McCain (VC-AZ) and Romney just made things worse, as Whites have stayed away from these RINOS IN DROVES...

The establishment Republicans are destroying the Republican party.

That has always been the source of the monikers "The Stupid Party" and "Circular Firing Squad".

I retain a bit of loyalty to the site, since I wrote there for a couple of years. When it started focusing on "lifestyle" stuff and "RINO" Rick Moran (assigned to edit too many of my submissions) rejected those with the substance of which he disagreed, I anticipated an unfortunate change of direction and stopped. The money PJ Media paid for each article ($100.00) was useful as well as needed, but I decided that there are more important things. Hence, I now write almost exclusively at my own little blog.

PJ Media still has some good stuff, particularly Bill Whittle's videos. Many of Whittle's videos are also available at YouTube. Although it's necessary to be selective, it's also useful to learn what the RINOs are thinking. You might find the comments on Roger L. Simon's linked article interesting. Almost without exception, they are adverse. Ditto the comments on most of Rick Moran's articles.

I was pleased when LTC West joined PJ Media and even happier when he distanced himself from it, because if you compare his Next Generation videos with videos of his other appearances you will see, rather quickly, that in the Next Generation videos he comes off as stif, as though reading from a script. He does not seem that way elsewhere.

Obviously, I haven't abandoned the site as a reference source, but it has become less appealing.

Republican conservatives under the banner of the “tea party movement” is not mainstream but “moderate Me Too republicans” (now refered to as democrat lite) is. This is the new “mantra” led off by the AP and supported by a NBC phoney poll the media is using given to them by the Demo-Com central commandantura. CNN’s Van Jones was on 10/10/13 am 890’s WLS morning show. Jones opened his fly and started flashing the same pitch. And was told to zip it. .It’s just sad the GOPES continue with their stupid Pustch to purge conservatives.The question is will some historian in a future year reviewing the demise of the Republican party make the claim the Republican leadership of this era were working with the socialist/communists to purge the party of the conservatives ? BTW (by the way) WLS’s morning show hosts has been doing a decent job of exposing these demo-com media poseurs spreading that message.
The media could be given a sound trashing by conservative talk shows just citing the stuff they were using to incite racial strife which has resulted in black youths (mainly) attacks on whites and hispanics resulting in deaths. But it’s not even being approached. Not only (pardon the pun) collectively, but individually. Doing so would clearly point out that the visual and print media will are deep in the socialist agenda sewer with the regime. They are creating an America its citizens does not know.

Because each one of the media alphabet soup kitchens individually cooked up socialist concoctions following the cue given them by The POTUS Obama. Falling all over each other defending Obama’s mere comments “If I had a son” and “That could have been me” utterances which served as cues to the direction the propapganda was to take.

The fact that The POTUS embelished one statement after another. And as POTUS had to have full knowledge of the circumstaces of the Florida episode which in essence was a black on black episode. Yet POTUS Obama decided to manipulate the facts into a full blown racial incident to furthur a socialist concept and inflame a political base makes the Je Accuse Dreyfus scandal look like French pastry.

Letting POTUS Obama and his media get away with this travesty particularly by the clueless political opposition boggles the mind. But the facts are that’s what the conservative movement called the “tea party” is dealing with.
