King is making a mistake. He should work with conservatives, instead of fighting them. He’s divisive, when the Republican Party should be united.

He’s been like that from way back in the 1970s. At his age, how is he going to change?

...who used to make Republican candidates for the Senate and the presidency competitive in downstate New York.

To be competitive downstate, you have to be a socialist. Who needs such Republicans?

If Pete doesn’t get votes, the lobbyist will not pay him.

That makes Pete very mad.

Peter King became a poster boy with the looney left media by going on with Chris Matthews (only losers appear on the Chrissy Show)and saying:

KING: I would say there are probably 30 or 40 who are like that. As there were a number of Democrats who felt that way about George W. Bush, and going back to when you and I first met, Republicans who felt that way about Bill Clinton… This is a very dangerous aspect to our government… The fact that we have people who are willing to demonize the president of the United States because he’s from a different party… and now, obviously, with President Obama, it’s definitely there.

That is the most ridiculous statement I have heard lately. Peter King has not one drop of libertarian blood in his entire body. He is a big Union, Big Government, Big Security
State, Big Church, Anti Gun politician. He would be happy to establish a Habsburg monarchy on us. A Maximillian Republican is more like it. The ideology of our Founders is foreign to the sensibilities of Peter King. Our forefathers would recognize Cruz as a true Jeffersonian, a libertarian. King on the other hand would’ve horrified our founders. Even the Federalists would recoil from him.

Good chance King will lose his seat in 2014.

Did you notice that I put the word libertarian in quotation marks? I apologize for not being clear: I was referring specifically to the socially-liberal aspects of a number of libertarians.

Isolationist trend?

We’re tired of being the world police, nation building, watching our heroes be killed due to stupid ROE; sick of a porous border that lets criminals and welfare leeches into our country, governments that give illegal aliens more rights and benefits than citizens, and being lied to about national security; we’re totally fed up with crony capitalism, legal double standards for insiders, and watching our money being spent on unConstitutional garbage.

The only thing I want to be isolated from is liberalism and the government spending monster.

How about Pullotico doing a story on the Constitutionalists’ fight against the fascist clown and the buttlicking media?

Poor Peter. Even the filthy, commie ‘RATS are feeling sorry for him.

Peter King, one of the last gasps of the Rockefellerites...until the next group comes along that is.

Hopefully, all the ambition has been molly-coddled out of them like the "men" of the Kennedy clan.

“New York Republican. ‘nuff said.”

Yep, read the story of Nelson Rockefeller and how immensely he grew NY government in the 60’s.

We’re still paying for it today.

King is what I call a liberal that believes in “law and order” when it suits him and that’s about it.

Because we need a multi-party system, where coalitions are made between parties, each of which stands for clearly defined principles, and not within two parties each of which stands for ‘goodness’, in other words for nothing.
