Republican Congressional leaders, less than three hundred miles from Fort Sumter where the Confederates fired on the federal government and launched a horrific four-year American Civil War, are meeting to declare a civil war against conservatives who are the base of the Republican Party.
Since the purpose of the weekend meeting at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island in Florida is to raise money and strategizing as to how to defeat limited-government constitutional conservatives in Republican primaries, this meeting is an act of war by Eric Cantor and the Republican Congressional leadership.
By fighting conservatives, Republican congressional leaders are publicly acknowledging they do not share the core values of conservatives and Tea Partyers, including limited-government, fidelity to the constitution, lower taxes, balanced budget, significantly reducing the size, scope and reach of the federal government.
The Republican primary voters will now be able to clearly see who are the principled conservatives verses those candidates receiving support from the Ruling Class, Crony Capitalists such as Karl Rove, John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell.
Grassroots conservatives wish Republican leaders could get as angry at the lawlessness of the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats as they do at conservatives.
This meeting is proof positive that the Republican Establishment thinks the Tea Party is alive, strong, and a major threat to their existence.
Read the article. The GOPE leaders are the ones splitting the vote
Purists?
Lol
Bush. Dole. McCain, Romney were all moderate and liberal, by your measure they should win handily
> But the prospect of Harry Reid’s remaining as Majority
> Leader—until at least 2019—is enormously disturbing to me...
How is a frontal assault by Harry Reid worse than a knife in the back by Mitch McConnell?
Breaking, in a non-breaking sense
These are apparently the RINO members of this pathetic group...

Stupid is and stupid does.
I was talking with someone today and he said this meeting has solidified his vote for a Dr.Brannon. He had planned to vote for Thom Tillis but decided to give his vote to a more conservative candidate. These guys are the Republicans who hope to go up against Kay Haggan the Democratic senator from NC.
I think the light is finally beginning to dawn on those fools that the Tea Party plans to slowly and methodically strip them of the Republican party leadership, and once a threshold is reached, and they are purged, while they may hope to get employment with their big business corporate cronies, it won’t help much, because the Tea Party is fed up with them, too.
The Tea Party is in this fight to redeem America, not support internationalism, not to moderate the Democrat party, but to systematically scrub over 100 years of failed progressivism from our country.
If the RINOs don’t want that, then not only should they be stripped of power, but they don’t deserve it any more.
I won't vote for someone that hates me and what I stand for.
And Romney was UNELECTABLE. Ipso facto.

Conspiracy? I don't think so. GOP are gullible idiots without spines.
And if we elect RINOs from the GOPe like McCain, we sink to something other than a quagmire which would be what, sludge?
I’m not sure what your point is.
How do we as a liberty-loving citizenry benefit by electing people who oppose us but who smile and lie and say they are on our side in order to get elected...then promptly betray us and join the enemy?
And deal with a decent minimum wage. And pay tariffs on imports produced in third world cesspools.
Purist. There it is again. Just like a Democrat talking point.

“And deal with a decent minimum wage. And pay tariffs on imports produced in third world cesspools.”
BTTT
Haven't watched in a while have you?
Of the People, by the people, for the people.
Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotten cabbages.
He has revolted. Resisted. Fought. Held fast. Maintained. Destroyed resistance. Overcome coercion. The right to be a person, someone or individual. We applaud his private war, and concede that despite materialistic efforts, he has survived intact and secure!
"You are, Number 6."
Time for me to go back to my original tagline...
They are really demorats so no surprise there.
That’s the way I see it.
