They need to get their heads our of where?

It was a big election night for Republicans overall. But their lone disappointment – the loss of a New York congressional seat in a crossfire between moderates and conservatives – could portend struggles next year for GOP leaders.
Channeling the Tea Party-inspired energy is a particular headache for Dallas Rep. Pete Sessions, whose costly effort to keep the New York seat was a casualty of the civil war.

Sorry, but their heads are not in the sand. This is a job for Proctoman.
So, they want to harness us, huh?
I think it’s more that they expect civility and for the coalition to work for the same goal. I love my Senator Cornyn and have been impressed by Senator Sessions at times.
However, if they continue to be polite in the face of obvious corruption and compromise, the GOP will die.
The lesson of November 2009 should be that conservatives will vote conservative. The Party that wants our vote will be conservative.
Codependency is not caring.
You beat me to it ... likeminds and greatness.
Actually, a temporary solution would be to install a clear, plexiglass belly button in each of them ... at least they could see where they are going then.
What are they talking about? If you tally the republican votes, the result is 51% republican split between Scozzafava 5% and Hoffman46%. If the republicans didn’t try so hard to lose this race and ran a good campaign (like Christie), they would have won. The democrat who won only received 49% of the vote. That is a hollow victory for the Democrats and a wake up call for the Republicans.
This is not about whether the Republican’s are “tolerant” of differing opinions.
It is about purging those who would sell us out to the enemy in the name of “tolerance”.
The left seeks to destroy us by any and all means. They have no clue how to run anything, but it does not take a plan to destroy something.
Unfortunately they do have a “plan of destruction”. And it is aimed at this nation.
The “Moderate Republicans” simply don’t get it, or they are also Traitors. The result is the same either way.
Any Congressman who voted for Cap & Trade MUST be removed. They are either Traitors, or they are simply Too Stupid to Hold Public Office.
There's an internal Civil War going on in the Democratic party between the Marxist-Leninists (Obama his Czars and Pelosi & Co) vs the Trotskyites (MoveOn, Daily Kos, Code Pink, etc), and all the 'State Run Media'(1) (cough) report on is a 'GOP schism'.
Maybe the 'Drive by Media'(1) should try turning the camera around. It's amazing what they'll find.

Absolutely correct. The only thing these (now exposed) RINOs could do is to apologize profusely and to never stand for party over principles again then MAYBE we can trust them in the future.

RINO Cornyn will never get another vote from this house.
trade-off between placating party activists, we need to be more inclusive,coolly controlling practitioners, play to the crowd,

This is exactly why they are failing as a party...
...Folks, through their own admission they intend to play us like a fiddle in 2010.
Just remind conservatives, don’t be fooled by nice sounding rhetoric. They don’t mean it...yet.

No need to worry about that, Pete. Just make sure your local people know that national money will not be used in campaigns for RINOs. That will discourage the locals from spreading the tent so big that the party has no principles. You have to stand for something, or else you stand for nothing.
Political realist? No. Merely an opportunist.
If we were bridging the conservative-moderate divide, it would be one thing. But these fools are trying to bridge the conservative liberal divide. These are two polar opposites on the political spectrum, fundamentally, ideologically distinct and incapable of synthesis. There is room in the Republican party for some moderation, but not at the expense of the very foundations on which we stand — individual responsibility, respect for life,limited government, fiscal restraint, strong national defense, the right to bear arms.If a candidate is off on any one of these essentials, they do not belong in the Republican Party, period. Quit trying to sell us a bill of goods. NO LIBERALS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
“They couldn’t care less about the party. You’ve got to harness that. You may not like it but you’ve got to harness it. It’s a challenge.”
I don’t know a conservative that gives a flying f**k about the GOP.
Someone must have thumped Cornyn - his Senatorial group will no longer provide funding in a race involving more than one Republican candidate such as the one in Florida. I am sure if you ask him though, he will still verbally support Crist over Rubio. Sad that Texas can’t come up with some true Conservative Senators.
We'll have one when Michael Williams wins the race to replace KBH.
