the tea party doesn’t exist any more. certainly not the legitimate political movement that existed four years ago. THOSE tea partiers knew who stole their health care. THOSE tea partiers knew the difference between defeating the extremist agenda of the obamites, and committing suicide.
THIS tea party, the phoney one, has been abducted by purist thugs that are more concerned with destroying the republican party than defeating the liberals.
if the rest of us don’t wake up, they will bring us speaker pelosi, the sequel.
If you want McConnell to get support of conservatives, explain how his deal making advances conservative causes. We vote in people who tell they support our causes, then when they take office instead of advancing our causes, they undermine them. Untill we get leadership who are will to tell Democrats that the advancement of the conservative agenda is the price of a deal we will support the removal of these place holders.
Exhibit A of the bad faith of our leaders is the decay of the budget process. Where were the speeches decrying the senates abdication of normal order?
I am one of those purists. So ESAD, LOSER. Bwahahahaha.
JohnnieB the only difference between you, McConnell and your Republican party and the democrats is the price tag.
So what you are saying is if your vote and principles are not for sell you are nothing more than a purist, then call me a purist. Right now the Chamber of Commerce is actively buying your purist Republicans in the Congress off for their amnesty votes.
I have lived with McConnell since 1984, I voted for the slug in every election, I have met the man and he has the personality of a mashed cat. If he is the GOP nominee he will lose to that idiot Grimes because he is not well liked in general and he is loathed by most of the states conservatives and that loathing-—McConnell generated it when HE went to war against the tea party and conservatives. I know Goldwater conservatives who have voted straight tickets since 64 who and I quote, “neither party is worth a damn right now, they stand for nothing...” who will be sitting this election out should Bevin lose the primary and as for “the democrats win vote for us or it’s Armageddon!”, that bogey man won’t hunt in more. With the current GOPe you just a cheaper version of the original.
Who do you think the tea party is liberal democrats and little old ladies? They are conservatives who have been repeatedly lied to by the likes of you and McConnell, told we are one of you but since I am elected shut the hell up and go away you are bothering me I have deals to make and money to make with the democrats.
No thanks! And if the GOP doesn’t take the senate the Republican party has only themselves to blame. Right now they are offering nothing but me too, but just a little cheaper than my opponent BS. Maybe they could move farther left and garner the cheap ass liberal votes if that is possible.
