An electrifying midterm rallying cry on a slow summer news day. Boehner, incidentally, isn’t one of the crappy-asses, she says. She doesn’t name names there, but she’s been known to diverge from grassroots conservatives in these matters before.
What would happen, though, if Boehner turned around and made a deal with Harry Reid on amnesty in September? One of the goals of Obama’s looming power grab over legalization is to scare Republican leaders with the thought that Latino voters will be so grateful, they’ll break even harder for Democrats in 2016.
The only countermeasure, Dems would have you believe, is for the GOP to agree to comprehensive reform before then and steal some of Obama’s thunder. No one in conservative media (with the possible exception of the boss emeritus) is as vociferously anti-amnesty as Coulter. If Republicans signed off on a legalization deal, as is quite possible next spring or summer, would she consider that reason enough for conservatives to protest by staying home in 2016? We all have our red lines when it comes to political betrayals, but as the example of Obama and Syria reminds us, a red line that isn’t enforced is meaningless and even counterproductive in how it invites further aggression.
I’m reluctantly willing to boycott the next election if the GOP makes a bad deal on immigration in the name of showing them how steep the cost of future betrayals might be. Is Coulter? Or are we destined for a “three cheers for the Gang of Eight bill!” column in two years if/when Rubio is the nominee?
The truth is that once the Tea Party calculates exactly how big the Republican win will be, we can as a group choose to pull the rug out from underneath the worst of the RINOs running for reelection. Cede their seat to a novice Democrat, because the RINO was too powerful and treacherous to take out in the primary, and will continue to be.
That is, as long as the majority is a seat or two, we might all choose to *not* vote for McConnell, or Lindsay Graham, or others, based solely on the margin of Republican victory.
Because the truth of the matter is that a senior ranking RINO hurts conservatism with their weakness of character and betrayal far worse than a freshman Democrat could.
Imagine a Republican majority *without* McConnell. It would be like taking a millstone off from our necks. It would rattle the rest of the RINOs down to their shoes, just like the defeat of Cantor did in the House.
And their belligerent talk of “slapping the Tea Party down” would just evaporate. Especially among those RINOs up for reelection in two years, during the presidential race.
It won’t be long before the general election when we will get a good idea. It will have to happen before the early ballots are cast. Then the Tea Party will shout with a loud and unified voice, “We are NOT voting for McConnell. We are going to leave the vote for senator blank, while voting for every conservative on the ballot. But McConnell can go pound sand.”
That is total BS.
You value your own views on politics more than what is good for America. Such narrow minded thinking is what got us into the Obama debacle
You need a civics lesson. In America we have evolved a two party system. In that system we fit all the splinter groups under one of the two big tents. All conservatives including the sanctimonious self righteous ones have no place to go once the primaries are over except the GOPc.
In America, we gather the like minded coalitions before the general election rather than after as is the practice in many parliamentary nations.
You spout a lot of high minded rhetoric that just doesn’t fit America. It is OK in Israel or Italy or Iraq where they have problems and more problems forming a government. You have removed your self from the American political process
Obviously you have no worthy principles or honor if you actually believe that you can compromise principles for 'lesser evil'.
This bullying technique to get Conservatives to fall into the Republican line will no longer work.
We have 12 years of the Bush dynasty to show the fruits of what voting for lesser evils brings the nation. The Bush Dynasty is what gave us Clinton and now Obama. There is no difference between the Ruling Class Republicans and the MarxoFascist Democrats. NONE. Both are working towards a Statist utopia that abolished individual liberty and subjugates us to totalitarianism.
You are preaching a lie. We have plenty of places to go if we do not support either the MarxoFascists or the Socialist Ruling Class Oligarchy of the GOP.
Our vote is sacred, and we can write in whomever we choose, vote third party if we choose.
This intimidation technique of yours is laughable. That you insist we only have the choice of Party hacks is insulting. It's Soviet, but then because you are a party-first stooge and hack - so we would expect nothing less than a Statist like yourself to preach such vile crap.
You spout a lot of high minded rhetoric that just doesn’t fit America.
That says everything we need to know about you. Your pathetic attempts to intimidate are truly feeble. I'm laughing at you, same as I do the die-hard liberals who attempt to shame to foist their totalitarianism on us.
I disagree. It's time for Conservatives to go asymmetric.
Organizing into a single party now simply gives the enemy a main target to focus their attacks on.
What has been interesting is watching the frustration of the Ruling Class attempting to put out all the opposition to them from myriad Conservative groups.
Jesus said "My sheep hear my voice". Likewise I think true Conservatives will hear the voice of those who believe the principles and truth they hold to their hearts, and as we are beginning to see, Conservatives are no longer easily beguiled by rhetoric. They want to see fruits.
I think leaderless resistance and myriad and many Conservative groups in a confederation of American Conservatives is the way to go to combat the coup that has taken over the country's government.
Putting us under one 'tent' simply gives the enemy a chance to harm us more easily in their tireless attack efforts. Both from the Republican Leadership and the MarxoFascist Democrats.
We will be united in a strong cord of myriad groups supporting those Conservatives we know will promote our values while living by them.
And you’ve no principles worthy of reality. Since the beginning of the US, we’ve existed not by everyone being unwilling to ever compromise but because we normally could compromise. I accept that some you do not compromise, but I do not accept that an uncompromising outlook or behavior is the way a righteous, a practical, a reasonable, or an ethical man behaves. Did the US and Britain not compromise when we collaborated with Stalin to defeat Hitler? Did the US not compromise when we collaborated with authoritarian regimes to defeat expansionistic communism lead by Putin’s mentors? In the real world, you seek the best possible deal to get ahead. You compromise when you shop and you compromise when you vote.
We’ve “compromised” too much for far too long...
Any compromise with evil is a loss for good.
We’ve run out of room to compromise with those fools any longer...it’s by a razor’s edge that we still exist as a Nation, a hollow shell of what we once were.
Voting for anymore of this idiocy will be the death of us all.
It has to stop...
Oh yes we do. I’m not voting for anyone supported by the Chamber of Commerce, period. The candidate running against the one term Democrat in our normally Republican congressional district is a pro-amnesty squish retread who in his previous stint in Congress earned a D+ rating from the NRA. I would rather wait 2 years and try to get a real conservative than be stuck with a RINO for the foreseeable future.
That's what foolish men always say. The Devil would love for everyone to believe that standing up for what is right and good while refusing to compromise in an evil society is 'unrealistic'. Interesting you have adopted the tactic.
I do not accept that an uncompromising outlook or behavior is the way a righteous, a practical, a reasonable, or an ethical man behaves.
God and the Scriptures disagree with you. A righteous person NEVER compromises with evil. NEVER. Especially when it betrays a moral or foundational principle. You're preaching what Satan would want us to believe.
Did the US and Britain not compromise when we collaborated with Stalin to defeat Hitler? Did the US not compromise when we collaborated with authoritarian regimes to defeat expansionistic communism lead by Putin’s mentors?
Apples and bowling balls. The current Republican leadership and most of the GOP party faithful are allies with our modern-day Hitler and their attempts to establish an authoritarian tyranny over us. They are not looking to defeat the enemies of liberty - they seek to BECOME ONE with the enemies of liberty in the name of 'bipartisanship' and drag the rest of us along with them.
In the real world, you seek the best possible deal to get ahead.
As if making deals with Satan will work out for the best. You people truly make me laugh at your silly attempts to get Conservatives to fall in line and vote for a party that has declared war on them.
You compromise when you shop and you compromise when you vote.
Speaks to the root cause of why we lost our culture, this Republic and our liberty.
Liberty is not some token in a political game we play anymore than morality itself is something we can compromise in order to "get ahead" in an evil world.
To do so is advocating a lie. Compromising foundational principles is the path to destruction. All one has to do is look back at 40 years of people voting like you do to see the decline into Socialism and Totalitarianism accelerating.
Your way is a failure. The proof is self-evident. Look around and wake the hell up.
BTTT
We will be “boycotting” every republican eelection untill the end of time if republicans open the flood gates toward replacing us as a people.
Its quite simple, We will live in a country occupied by a collation of Foreigners and the traitorous left that invited them.
In other-words we won’t have a country, and there won’t be a republican party, EVER! The party will be dead by its own hand, and we would be well advised to abandon it’s sinking hulk in favor of something new and unbranded by the only true racist in this country.
Tell it to the boss. He's posted here already.
In the meantime, celebrate getting it exactly backwards like the rest of the GOP-E.
I'd rather not lose. I'd rather see conservatives like you work together with the rest of us to create a viable GOP-E alternative instead of voting like a Stepford Wife.
Conservatism is the ransom.
Voting pragmatically is appeasement.
You are Neville Chamberlain.
John Wayne McCornyn, He is just like one of us - Flaming RINO. And he will not get our vote either. I received a letter from my RINO U.S. House member - John Culberson - We are not voting for this ass - a member of the POWERFUL Appropriations Committee as he reminds us
BERT - We value America, We value Freedom, We value a LIMITED G’ment
Aside from Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and a few House memebers WHO in any party is advocating a limited G’ment?
Bert you are sounding like a door to door salesman - Whats in it for you?
Hear, hear!!
I second that, Jim!
If everyone who disagrees with you is Satan, then you should never compromise on anything, INVAR. I see your point. Good luck living alive where you think all differences are between absolute good and absolute evil.
My only point is vote for the most conservative and principled candidate. If you offer me the alternative of don’t vote because that’s a compromise, I don’t accept that as the best way to return the US government to limited and constitution based government. Not voting helps the Democrats.
