These politicians are no better than the congressional sellouts. They see the media spin that the Dems are back and immediately try to match their position to the current propaganda.

There’s no difference guys if you sell your vote for goodies in your district to help you get re-elected or if you sell your conservative support for what you think is the politically expedient route.

NO DIFFERENCE!!!

Dumping on Castle makes no sense. He is in a heavily democrap State, and will vote party line when he needs to.

“epeal-happy candidates like Marco Rubio (R-FL)”

Repeal happy? Listen we're talking about fighting the largest tax increase and socialist takeover in American history. There's nothing happy about this fight. We're hoppin’ mad in fact!

Leave it to this blog which ‘in March 2009 TPM topped TIME Magazine's list of 25 Best Blogs of 2009.’ Need I say more?

Since the TPM folks think so much of themselves and need to ask the practical/impractical question about Repeal - I could care less currently if this is impractical.

It is symbolic of the continued fight and thus practical.

Of course it will take 60 Senators, the House and the WH to repeal. It's going to be a huge fricken’ mess we're cleaning up after the RATS, imho. Then there are all the other messes they've left like ticking economic time bombs for us to clean up so we don't leave our children and grandchildren saddles.

You know what TPM, don't lecture me on practicality. It'll make me angry - and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...I tend to change into a large Lou Ferrigno looking green man. So please don't try it...;)

“Dumping on Castle makes no sense.”

Dumping? A little competition in the primary is not going to hurt anyone.

No more.

“Sorry but the whole point of this article is to try to create a rift where none exists. The dems are fractured NOT the republicans.”

This is a blog praised by Time magazine...that’s all we need to know.

“The last chance to save the Republic is at hand.”

I think you are right. If we don’t hold the lines and push back HARD right here, right now. This nation will slide into the European socialist abyss for a generation or longer.

I wouldn't worry too much about the 'war' or 'fracture' in the GOP over this. This smacks of MSM-driven 'turmoil' in the opposition that is more smoke than fire. Look at the names of the GOPer's that are supposedly resisting running on "REPEAL": Castle, Crist, Campbell, McMahon, Simmons, Coats (my money says Coats will run on REPEAL) ...

In the primaries, vote for the REPEAL candidates! For once the Dems have given us good advice: "Obama says Republicans should "go for it," and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said "We're happy to battle them on that field."

We are too Bob! Game On!

“Yah, Republicans are really divided and fissured on the question of government health care. But Democrats are united and their voters love the extra taxes and government control over their bodies.

NOT. Total BS and propaganda.”

Even the RAT polls prove this is a huge pile of bullcrap.

MORE MEDIA BIAS.

“right and far-right” is their term for this, but ...

THE MAJORITY OF VOTING AMERICANS SUPPORT REPEAL according to Ras poll.

"Sorry but the whole point of this article is to try to create a rift where none exists. The dems are fractured NOT the republicans. The point of primaries is for 2 (or more) hopefuls to present themselves and their ideas to the people. The people vote and winner goes on to the general. This tactic is as old and worn out is every other one the LSM employees. We should know better than to fall for it."

Bravo and well said.

Folks ... the LSM is giving us flak. But you are always going to get flak when you are OVER THE TARGET.

They want to sow division on how to respond, but the reality is - not a SINGLE Republican voted for this nor is for this bill, and MANY Republicans at both state and federal level are doing everything they can to roll it back. Support those candidates who are doing the right thing and we WILL prevail.

And even according to the RAT CNN poll - 59 - 39 oppose the bill just passed.

This is of course why Obama is in campaign mode and the LSM is desperately spinning away like a top... they think with enough media bias they can change those numbers and people will ‘give up’ on the issue.

has the BIAS been as thick as mud or what?

Yes! But we’re not READING, LISTENING or WATCHING them anymore and it’s driving them nuts...now if we just break out TV and Movie viewing habits as Americans and read more, we’ll solve two or three other concurrent issues that plague us a society.

Any candidate too cowardly to fight for repeal deserves to be purged - and we should support their primary opponents 100%.

Chuck DeVore for US Senate

Marlin Stutzman for US Senate
