Yeah, that's what the voters want, Elias, Ike and Bush 41.

“Ruining” means “ruining it for the Democrat Party”

[PapaNew]

We need a headline that reads...

Tea Party spawns GOP nightmare: How it’s already RUNNING the party’s ’16 strategy

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The "we don't want to talk about that" crap is the problem.

They want to put in their time, take the money, go to the cocktail parties, and retire rich.

Heaven forbid that they ever have to become controversial!

[oldplayer]

It is long past time to have a “discussion I didn’t want to have.” Too many years. Too many cowards.

We need bold leadership if the Republic is to survive.

LOL, I’d like to know what the GOP strategy was other than “run some RINO squish that will handily lose to the liberal democrat.”

[Maceman]

troublemakers like Paul, Cruz and Mike Huckabee

CommonCore Huckabee is no conservative, and would never get my vote. Of course, I could say the same thing about Rand Paul and Marc Rubio. In fact I will.

[Hugin]

Symbolic and envelope-pushing measures intended to inspire a big fight over the right to choose is the kind of stuff that thrills the Tea Party,

I don't know of any TEA Party groups that are involved with the abortion issue. It's supposed to be about restoring fiscal sanity. The idea was to attract people who support that regardless of other issues. That means most of the people in it are conservatives, and most are probably pro-life, but it's not the agenda of TEA Party groups.

I’m glad the tea Party is ruining the GOP E and Democrats strategy.

[Ohioan]

Those who lack the ability to articulate American values--not slogans, but the reasons behind American values;--and to articulate what the Constitution actually authorizes and what it does not; are those, who have ruined the party's popular achievements under Reagan.

The problem is that most of the so-called "establishment" Republicans lack courage & common sense; but they are not really very bright even in trying to explain the few things they are willing to admit standing up for.

Pathetic dweebs.

Just the most recent issue of the Democrat-Socialist Party newsletter, Saloon ... er, Salon.

[ilgipper]

It worked so well in 2012...an election that should have been a slam dunk. Instead these idiots got dunked on. But hey, let’s do it again. It’s bound to work this time against the Clintons.

[MulberryDraw]

only one senator, Mississippi’s Roger Wicker, felt compelled to disagree with the contention that the Earth’s climate is warming

I thought the vote was about climate change, not "warming".

[Boogieman]

“GOP elites want Americans to think the party’s boring and safe again.”

Boring and safe doesn’t win elections.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!


CRUZ or LOSE!

[MaxMax]

Supporting the Constitution and Rule of law, is ruining the GOP?

[meadsjn]

I’m sure Salon has the GOP’s best interests at heart.

[Cheerio]

The GOP-e would much prefer to be in the minority as long as they can all keep their committee seats and have a say in how to spend $4 trillion a year of federal money we do not have. The GOP loves big federal government every bit as much as the RAT party does. Be honest now, when was the last time you heard a GOP-e talk about cutting - REAL CUTS - Federal spending- appropriations, not just the budget guidance bill? EVEN with CRs there are no cuts. At least two and possibly three years ago is my guess, but I am willing to go out a limb and suggest it predates the GOP takeover in 2010 of the House.

[Bratch]

While it’s true that only one senator, Mississippi’s Roger Wicker, felt compelled to disagree with the contention that the Earth’s climate is warming, most Republicans voted against a provision that would credit humankind with “significantly” contributing to the problem. That is, needless to say, wildly at odds with scientific consensus across the globe; and dismissing the conclusions of essentially all of the world’s qualified scientists is yet another thing your nice neighbor-accountant would be unlikely to do.

That's a bare-faced lie.

[Savage Beast]

The RINOS have no idea how intense our fury is!

CRUZ to Victory with Ted. Two professors have said that he’s the most intelligent student they’ve ever seen.
