Also, since Cuccinelli just barely lost, and won the independent vote by nine points, the establishment is shaking in their boots. They are going to ratchet up the attacks, the annihilation strategy.

“The people who want to support a more traditional, Ronald Reagan-like Republican also need to get in the game.”

Hey Lindsey! Those are the very ones you are trying to lock out.

Anymore, many independents are conservatives who have left the GOP. The GOP cannot win—anyplace—without them. Ergo, you can’t run them off the reservation and hope to win.

——Ken Cuccinelli lost ——

The term for the phenomena is “Damn Yankee Creep”

Has Virginia become Maryland South?

Republicans said they must replicate the tactics by choosing the best candidates in 2014 — regardless of the demands of tea party-aligned groups.

So in other words, party base be damned. We're going to nominate whoever we want to.

Fire the old mens club and bring in the new hungry folks who have what it takes to fight.

Ken Cuccinelli lost his bid for the Virginia governor’s mansion in part because Democrats seized on his hard-line conservative credentials.

Bull. He was neck and neck with a guy who had unlimited funding. Had the flaming RINOs in Washington not seen him as the political enemy rather than McAwful, he'd have taken that seat.
It wasn't the TEA Party that blew that election. It was the RINOs who blew that election.

Defund the RINO GOP. It's the TEA Party or nothing.

Within the past hour on Fox & Friends, Orrin Hatch (Rino UT) blamed Cuccinelli’s loss on “two Senators who shut down the government.” Names were not mentioned but he meant Ted Cruz and either Rand Paul or fellow Utah Senator Mike Lee.

And open primaries will certainly do it. We grassroots had better get a handle on this.

A government of the government, by the government, and for the government? Is that what they're saying they want here?

KC also won married women. Let the liberal Republicans put that fact in their pipes and smoke it.

Aside from Lee, Cruz, Gompert an a few others, the ENTIRE GOP Senate crew needs to flushed down the toilette at the next election.

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Hatch, Mitch McConnell and Cornyn are DISGRACES. They have made LIFE LONG CAREERS of being elected officials and have ABUSED that right by enjoying SPECIAL privileges they have assigned to themselves as Senators.

They need to be sent into retirement.

The GOP-E---once again missing the forest for the trees. Not once have they asked themselves precisely how this "steamroll the TEA party" strategy will result in enough votes to actually win the elections AFTER the primaries.

Do they actually believe that TEA Party folk will actually support and vote for their crony candidates in general elections following said steamrolling? I certainly won't, and most other TEA Party folks I know won't either. So there goes the base!

Damned fools.

When will Conservatives wake up and walk out on the Whigs? THEY DON’T WANT US. Fine, grant them their wish. No more McCains, no more Romneys, no more Doles and above all, no more Bushes or Christies.

Well, I have new for these idiots: Two can play this game. If the Conservatives stay home on Election Day, or just do NOT vote for their Dem-Lite candidates, THEY WILL NOT WIN???
