We have constitutional candidates so strong that it makes the Stalin party cringe. The problem we have is all of the lemmings willing to believe what is spewed out of the mouths of the MSM. WTF... Grow up Americans. Stop listening to the media liars and allowing them to pick our candidates apart. Even the worst one in our line-up is 10 times better then O-Stalin. However I will never vote for Mitt Romney.

I would say the GOP is divided right now. That is not just a fiction put forth by the media. The "moderates" love big government as much as the Dems do, they just want to be the ones to decide how big government is utilized. And they are nearly as determined to keep conservative ideas from succeeding as are the Democrats, which makes you wonder if they should even be a part of the GOP at this point.

I would agree with that sentiment to an extent.

My problem is that we a ways away from the primaries, but we've already got people trying to circle the wagons around the RINO contenders and telling us that we should support them or at least not say bad things about them.

I think now is the time to be saying the things that need to be said about the RINO would-be contenders, and keep them from every becoming a contender. This is the time we need to be working against the moderates, because if they get a few wins in the primaries, the MSM and moderates within the GOP are going to latch onto them with everything they can and try to keep the true Conservatives from getting the nomination.

We caught the left and the moderate Republicans off guard in 2010, but they are fully prepared for us now.

Lets hope that we can have a right of center and a far right. Smash the left until they are broken completely. Mcarthy was not wrong he just got fooled by the commies acting as “liberals”, we need to purge them full stop.

We need to stick together. Principled debate is fine, Name-calling candidate bashing perjorative RINO slinging is not; just damages us.

I concur, but we know it isn't going to happen like you've stated. Far too many of us shoot first, then aim.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

I think the author is a bit optimistic. It seems that, no matter how bad a candidate the Dems put up, a large chunk of Americans will vote Democrat. If the Republicans are going to win, they need to put up a very good candidate.

Nearly half the people in this country are getting benefits paid by the other half. All the Dems need to do is nudge that line a little further over, and they will never lose another election. That's why they keep saying that we need to tax the rich more. They want to buy more votes. And the rich get favors from the Dems behind the scenes to compensate for the higher taxes. Like waivers from Obamacare for their companies.

By the way, did anyone notice this? The article says: Nixon and Ford were elected

Ford wasn't elected President. He wasn't even elected Vice President.

That's why they keep saying that we need to tax the rich more. They want to buy more votes. And the rich get favors from the Dems behind the scenes to compensate for the higher taxes.

You failed to complete the equation.

If the Democrats raise taxes on the "rich"...and the really rich get favors behind the scenes...who actually gets screwed?

The middle class.

It's a vital premise of socialism. As Lenin famously said, "First, we destroy the bourgoisie."

The left is intellectually bankrupt, and the only thing keeping it alive is media control and government payoffs.

Lewis is missing one vital leg of the liberal stool -- public education.

Increasingly, children are leaving our schools either indoctrinated or alienated.

William Ayers found he could do more damage through academe than with bombs.
