I think lighting the current GOPe ON FIRE, would be more appropriate... this current bunch of gutless, unprincipled, indifferent ballless a$$ clowns need to be purged.

Willard on installing ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE:
"Conservatives are such fools.
Obama and the MSM have our back.

Here is why electing conservatives alone will never be enough to save our republic:

. . . it makes little sense for Republicans to stridently oppose Obama . . . because he would be able to demonize them as obstructionists.

As long as the senate is subject to popular whims, they will conduct themselves as the three term representatives that they are.

I’m thinking of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. “Burn her! Burn her! She’s a witch!”

Not really. He talks around the problem but only once does he really nail it:

“offering the voters little more than Democrat lite”

This isn’t about tactics, or “rallying”. The sad truth is, the GOP is a party of elitist, big-government compromisers. It is not the party of limited-smaller government, lower taxes, personal liberty, and a strong national defense (which is a short definition of conservatism).

Nothing the GOP does would lead a reasonable person to believe it can be salvaged or re-directed. Things are this way because those who control the Party want it to be this way.

I hope McConnell loses his primary challenge. Same for Boehner. We need LEADERSHIP. Not go along to get along. When will they ever learn you can’t play nice with the Dems and the Progressives? Answer: Probably never.

RAT Gestapo/KGB/NSA Holder machine is doing their best to intimidate and threaten anyone trying to oppose the commie steam roller over Constitution and freedom.

It started with Kenyan being put in charge, and spineless sheep letting him devour what’s left of bastion of freedom.

Support Arapaio and few brave souls who are trying to shed the light on the biggest scam in the history.

ANYONE elected to defend the Constitution have any guts left???

STOP Nobamacare! He will take “care” of you, your property, businesses, freedom and it will be too late, modern commie slavery will be “distributed” in one happy new world order!

Two snips from the article: “....I find myself on the tea party/Reaganite side of the argument but acknowledge we must find a way to unite our party in order to recapture power.....”

“.......Let’s quit underestimating American voters — especially conservatives, moderates and independents — and give them good reasons to vote for us.”

Some posters here at FR have warned for many years about the vulnerability of the GOP to infiltration, and dominance by the Left as was the Democrat Party by radical self interests, and that’s where the problem IMO lies.

We have to vote out the Leftists within the party. The RINO’s have to go. Again as I’ve been saying since the days of Jimmy Carter we have to flush the Congressional Bowl. Pull the chain multiple times.

Speaking of Jimmy Carter I guess we are still in “the days of Jimmy Carter” as he’s once again off to N. Korea to negotiate with insanity. It was a thread the other day here at FR.

Just like his brother :

RE :”I’m going to say it straight up — again: I think Mitt will win handily. But that doesn't mean I am not nervous. Stakes too high.

Have those well-paid GOP big-wigs figured out:

(1) how to keep Democrats from voting for “our” weakest candidates in “our” GOP Primaries? No?

(2) how to obtain “moderators” for “our” debates who are NOT rabid news-pimps? No?

(3) How to loudly say “NO!” to front-men for Arabs and other wealthy un-American “donors”? No?

(4) Where to get the best lobbyist-paid-off-the-books martinis? Hmmmmm....

Isn’t this up to the voters of Kentucky or in the case of Boehner to the voters of Ohio if they want to keep them?

You won't rest until the rats have got the majority in all three Houses, and the Republicans have no chance of ever getting them back.

And don't deny it

The goal of the Rep leadership is to keep its power. Period. It is not to stand up against Dems.

Attitude Reflects Leadership. It is time for new leadership, which will bring out a NEW ATTITUDE.

I believe that 2014 will not see me place a republican vote. Nope, of course, no votes for the sleazebag dim-bulb-crats either.

Like a stalled plane, perhaps it’s time to lose altitude and hope we recover airspeed before CW-II...and that, friends, is indeed in our future.

Sooner or later a lot of folks are going to tell Obama to shove it up his Obamahole.

What we need is rock-ribbed conservatives in charge of House and Senate leadership and the RNC!

Someone that can pull Aholes like McCain and Linseed Graham off to the side in private and explain to the bastards that if they won't support the party platform they will have all their dirty laundry leaked to their hometown press.

Make it very clear that they will be made so toxic that switching parties wouldn't save them, and they wouldn't get a plum job out of office.

” Mr RINO, we aren't sure if the claims that there are photos of you having sex with farm animals/homeless children are true, but a high level donor has stated they have $50,000,000 that can prove several RINOs did exactly that.

Let's not let you be the one that gets an example made of him, OK?”

Of course. Would you like for them to keep them?
