The Republcians know well they have no base except the Tea Party

That's just it. They think they "have" us and blame McCain and Romney losing on needing more hispanic voters. They'll never blame McCain and Romney for not inspiring undecideds who would respond to a constitutional conservative message.

The ptb do think they're superior. Case in point....remember when the big banks collapsed and top management still got multi-million salaries and bonuses? Their argument for that boiled down to nobody else had the superior skills necessary to run complex banks.

The elite has become greedy, insular, and convinced of their own superiority. Bottom line....they think we'll vote for them because we have nowhere to go.

I’m not even a Rush Listener but I pick up enough bits and pieces to know that he does talk about this stuff often.

But the only way we are going to upset these GOP-E’s is to stay registered R. If you are not registered R you cannot vote in the primary, so no tea party candidate can win without registered R teaparty voting. We have to work from within to expand the teaparty base and overwhelm the e’s.

“Republican establishment may in fact be so desirous of getting rid of the Tea Party as its base, they may be willing to lose some elections in order to get rid of their base and put up a new base.”

Some people here are ready to grant their wish. They don't fathom that once their base is gone, there aren't enough liberals left to build them a new one.

This is what it comes down to: a) there is a TEA Party candidate opposing Boehner in the primary. Should Boehner lose the primary, expect a Mike Castle response and have GOP-e vote Democratic. OR Should Boehner win the primary, Conservatives should vote Democratic.

GOP-e wants to lose elections, let’s start with Boehner. Boehner must not be allowed to be reelected Speaker.

We will never unify under "Establishment Republicans" .
"Establishment Republicans" have more in common with the Democrats, than they do with Conservatives.
The weak candidates are "Establishment Republicans", weak on national security, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and government spending.
"Establishment Republicans" scream "COMPROMISE".
And people who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
These "Establishment Republicans" are being weeded out, one by one, and slowly but surely, the TEA Party is taking over.

Someone once said [We're] 'Not victims of "the Establishment." '
I disagree.
I ask you again: It WAS Mitt Romney, leader of the "Establishment Republicans"
and it WAS the "Establishment Republicans" who funded all those negative ads against Conservatives.

So conservatives, the BASE of the Republican Party, WERE ' victims of "the Establishment." '

Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.


"Establishment Republicans" can GO TO HELL !

“I don’t doubt they might be this dumb, but where do they think a “new base” will materialize from?”

My thoughts exactly!

I see two general bases, the marxist bunch (Dems), and the ones that want America left alone or returned to what it was (GOP).

From my narrow perspective on this, their new base would have to materialize from the commie sector, proving beyond a shadow of doubt they are democrats with a different name. Maybe they think they can pickup all the illegals once legalized.

If they are successful, goodbye 2nd amendment.

And to be competitive, they’d assume new rolls, such as the Dems becoming full fledged commie’s Stalin style. And the GOP becoming full fledged national socialists, Hitler style.

It profits a man nothing to gain the whole world and lose his soul. It profits him even less to lose both.

“if he really thinks this country is doomed, he needs to put his money where his mouth is and run for office”

That would be the dumbest thing in the world. As a politician his voice would be limited. The left does everything it can to marginalize him. Why are you knocking him? But Rush is strong and relative as a commentator that is if you are a conservative and that is where he should stay and I am sure will stay.

You have to work that way perhaps in your state. Not in mine. And this isn't about the primary. I agree...vote conservative in the primary. I am. And if some RINO wins the primary...I STAY HOME.

BTW...I've told my very conservative congressman (Weber-TX) that if he votes for Boehner...he won't get my vote again....no matter HOW far to the right he is. It's like a dem saying he's pro-gun...pro-drill baby drill...blah blah blah. if you vote for Nancy...it doesn't matter HOW far to the right you are...because YOUR agenda and philosophy isn't what will be voted on.

"May be"??? They're already visibly working on it. There is a huge recruitment drive going on in colleges right now. I've received at least four phone calls. They're baiting the kids with fighting ZeroCare, and marginalizing conservatives as extreme over gay marriage.

"Establishment Republicans" lose everytime they're listened to.
They wouldn't care if they DO lose.
If they can't be in power, they don't want US in power.
It's just that simple.
It's WAR!

"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
DO CONSERVATIVES "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" WANT TO WIN IN 2014 OR NOT?

Jack Kerwick wrote an article on May 24, 2011 titled The Tea Partier versus The Republican and he expressed some important issues that I agree with.


I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.

The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

Thi$ i$ what the GOP want$ to attract more of:

WALL STREET DEMS: VALERIE JARRETT LACKS ANY BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3102220/posts

Problem is those Biblical focus along with Politically incorrect Christian Neanderthals and those non-secular as well as back-words thinking Orthodox Jews are in the way of the Republican dynasty.

The new base, the rich immoral jaded democrat voter along with the immoral disinterested citizen (Millions of them) who just have been bitch-slapped in the face and awoken to reality by politics, in this case the ACA.

They started shedding Tea Party types last cycle through redisticting.

Bingo. Alan West was an obvious and sterling example of what the republicans need more of. He was my choice as a VP candidate for Romney. Herman Cain said he could draw 1/3 of the black vote. And how many other minority votes could he have garnered? With that in mind, and being from Florida (swing state), Romney choose...Ryan. West was just too conservative for them.

The UNIPARTY is in full swing. The GOP and Dems as political parties are just so much eleborate window dressing- play pretties to give voters something to latch onto like lil’ chil’run and keep them occupied in the back seat. There’s a political class and influence peddlers running things with our money and there’s the rest of us.

Whatever Reagan did when he ran against George Christopher is what we need to emulate.
