We CANNOT leave the future of this country in the hands of the idiots at the GOP.

Where are all the Tancredo worshipers from a few years ago?

The morons at the RNC insist on running like-minded ethical nincompoops. Any wonder why their fund raising is in the tank? Idiots.

We had better force the RINO out and take control of the party or our dysfunctional situation will keep us in the minority and, by consequence, slavery. Identify the bad guys at the local level, the county level and the state level and...Force the GOP RINOs out NOW!

Take note -- it looks like this is what the voters in Florida are prepared to do. We just might have a case where we have a "Ross Perot" phenomenon repeated at the state level.

For those who don't remember, Slick Willy Would have lost to Papa Bush had Perot not syphoned off votes from the GOP. Clinton just took in 43% ( a plurarity of the votes ) in 1991.

What a mess. Freepers said yesterday that the two (R) candidates are ethically challenged.

And, as Harsanyi says of the third alternative: “The road to Tancredo’s one-issue candidacy (the one issue being his ego).”

You have to blame, once more, the Republican establishment for supporting a tired old crook. The Tea Partiers have to take only lesser blame for failing to come up with a credible alternative in the small time given them to choose one.

To repeat. What a mess.

National Review loves open-borders RINOs like Marcos Runios. Jim Geraghty is doing all sorts of analysis on Crist versus Rubio. Never has he mentioned what is really happening - Rubio lost a ton of support when he said he is against AZ’s law.

One of the more petty pieces I’ve ever read ~ it’s the water isn’t it?

"The road to Tancredo’s one-issue candidacy (the one issue being his ego)...." Both a very funny and a very true observation.

the GOP are useless with no communications at all.
They care more about PC than getting the truth out.

case in point.

Palin says Brewer has balls, (not that word) and then Karl Rove comes on and says it was tasteless.
WTH.

She speaks the truth and we have idiot republicans trying to be PC and play the gentleman’s card again while the left attack and say anything.

Be a good idea but history demonstrates that the very definition of "Republican" is dramatically different in Colorado.

I think we fse a situation in Colorado much more like that of Virginia in 1952 when it was observed that Ike was winning the state EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO REPUBLICAN PARTY AT ALL!

Some stalwarts went out and founded an active and very real Republican party and began winning elections. Today we have the Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and control of the House.

Colorado could catch up in a couple of decades I'm sure.

I’ve been angry at the GOP ever since they anointed McInnis.

zzzzzzzzz read some history. This grousing NEVER wins elections unless of course one roots for the other side. There’s nothing wrong for demanding higher standards but forcing people out... making the tent smaller... won’t work.

When a population no longer votes based on morals or conservative ideology and an election is determined by who runs the best “campaign” regardless of what they stand for, we then have no hope of ever returning to a higher standard.

That would require a higher-level organization, which Tea Partiers are apparently aggressively proud to eschew, much to their own detriment.

why is the GOP not down here and getting Grayson, Wasserman, Crist and making this state a red state for the election?

No they are useless who thinks that 3 days before an election they should get out the vote but of course ignoring that our state had early voting for over a week

We will lose to obama in 2012 if we do not stop pre-paid credit cards for donations.
early voting to stop the far left voting many times again
stop illegals
stop ACORN like groups
Close down Soros
and get the truth out about obama, his past, his radical association
confront this corrupt media and ask them on live TV why are you not telling the truth to your viewers.

Am I the only one who is fed up of playing defence to these idiots and then only responding instead of getting out there first?

The Democrat Party is unquestionably corrupt to its core, built on the most undefendable and contradictory of principles.

But at least it can be said of them that they are able to fight their war--dishonest and malicious as it is--in unity.

And, given the source of their inspiration--The Father of Lies--it can be counted on that, like him, they will NEVER give up in their relentless pursuit to control lives and decieve souls.
