First on CNN: Conservative group pushes to topple GOP leaders in Congress

CNN's Political Ticker ^ | February 4, 2014 | Paul Steinhauser, CNN Political Editor

Dan Patrick is a fraud. He ran as “a man of the people” but turned as soon as he saw the opportunity that elected office offers. He supported Dewhurst.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Absolutely!

[Pelham]

“..if only the RNC actually used them instead of FIGHTING them, Bush’s 2nd term would not have been such a disaster.”

That decision was as much Dubya’s as it was the RNCs. Bush was no conservative and he surrounded himself with advisers who thought like he did.

[Pelham]

I can already hear the howls of anger coming from Michael Medved and the other waterboys of the GOPe.

[MaxMax]

What's up with Thune? He was brought in by George Allen who I thought was
solid Conservative, both of them.

LOL. Oh yeah.
Medved is still on the air?

[MNnice]

But ... I thought the Tea Party was dead! The MSM told me so.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes he did and I never forgot that.He’s such a pos.

[rolling_stone]

We are dealing with Congre$$-critters not coyotes, they haven’t proven to be smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall much less their own skins.

just look at Juan McCain, he is pushing back after being censured. They think they are invincible.

[RC one]

McCain definitely needs to be hanging on the fence right along side Lindsey Grahamnesty. To be clear however, I do not support a mass purge action at the federal level. We need precision strikes there, not carpet bombing and we need to focus on consolidating and expanding our hold on state and local level governments. If we were capable of replacing every single RINO with a tea party republican, I would support a purge. We are not capable of that however. We proved that with Murdock and Akin among others.

[Ron H.]

Ditch Mitch, by any means necessary.

It would be a mistake to not accept all the help we can get in this battle we conservatives find ourselves in with the corrupt and treacherous Republicans targeted in this new campaign, IMO.

[Ron H.]

I got some mail today from a group called “Conservative Republicans of Texas” run by a Dr. Steven F. Hotze, location not apparent. They are for Dan Patrick but also Cornball and George P.!

Dr Hotze is from Houston and he has been connected in the media to some really (flaky?) sounding political events/stunts IIRC.

[Ron H.]

Give to the individual candidate, not the GOPe money launderers.

Good advice.

[Ron H.]

Dan Patrick is a fraud. He ran as “a man of the people” but turned as soon as he saw the opportunity that elected office offers. He supported Dewhurst.

I completely agree. I knew him and his ways even back when he was a sports reporter for our local CBS TV station in Houston. As I learned over time it became clear (even before his TX Senate run) that he was nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing and he came across to me as a lying and a manipulative Libertarian. He is a fraud IMHO beginning with his name: Dan Goeb Patrick was born Daniel Scott Goeb April 4, 1950

[Conspiracy Guy]

First on CNN: “Conservative group pushes to topple GOP leaders in Congress”

What leaders?

[chicagolady]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[FR_addict]

I’m ready to donate.

[Jane Long]

Just because Dr *Wellness* Hotze has a “conservative” front group supporting flaky Dan Patrick, Slimey Conrball and GP Bush, doesn’t mean they’ll get elected.

Hotze hosts a radio show on the same radio station Patrick has (or had - not sure, as I haven’t listened in years) a show on.

This front group, CRoT, is about as conservative as the Mark Zuckerburg/Karl Rove *conservative* groups. No thanks!

As another poster mentioned...DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE CANDIDATES!!
Cut out the (faux) front groups.

[Din Maker]

I got that same crap in the mail.

[Din Maker]

Do you live in KY Paladin? Just wondering what the local “buzz” on the street might be about the Senate Election.
