It’s up to the individual members to resist getting sucked into the vortex. Too many weak-willed, ambitious or power-hungry people end up there, and it is up to us to be vigilant against nominating them. We absolutely must get control of that process, which is highly flawed at the present time.
If losing out on committee posts (or being stripped of them) is the end result of resistance, that I can sympathize with (more so than going in as an “Independent” and refusing to serve on a committee, which is a big difference, because you’re willfully rendering yourself impotent).
There should be non-stop pressure on GOP leadership to stop feeding the proverbial beast (because at this point, it’s the only party open to that — trying to play off both parties as an “Independent” won’t. The Democrats have already gone full-blown Communist-Fascist, they won’t brook ANY anti-ultraleft dissent, and that was especially clear after Watergate to the remaining centrist members).
Basically, we need more Cruz types who are not only not willing to go along to get along, but are there to force the REAL change to get us back to our Constitutional moorings.
Every timed you vote for a gop candidate you feed the beast. The gop leadership’s lifeblood is the gop caucus.
Only vote for Constitutional Conservatives or vote to throw out those in both parties who are not. Getting a majority of the GOP caucus who are pro-Constitutional Conservatives is a must so we can change the status quo.
I can go with that.
OK. I never would agree with some others on this board who have a mutual suicide pact with RINOs... vote Republican or else ! If the Republican candidates are horrible, we have a duty as Conservatives to oppose them and stop them. It was bad enough in 2008 with McCain (whom we soon learned was a ringer for Zero - he had no intention of winning), but 2012 was the final straw.
I’ve not voted “Republican” for President since 2008, and that only as a positive affirmation of the VP nominee hoping McCain would drop dead. I voted for Conservative VA ex-Congressman Virgil Goode for President in 2012.
For Senator, I’ve not voted Republican since 2006, but neither one of my RINO Senators are worthy of support. Lamar!, who failed to get a majority of the vote in an open primary (this summer) riddled with Democrat chicanery, now ranks as the 4th most liberal RINO (while TN ranks as one of the most Conservative states) and expects Conservatives to back him. He can pound sand. He also lied about running for this 3rd term (his own book said, “Two terms and OUT !”).
The Governor is another liberal Republican weasel (who set off my weasel-detector back in 2010). He’s spent money behind the scenes trying to unseat Conservatives in the legislature and has been very uncomfortable with the GOP supermajority (conversely, he’s quite comfortable with leftist Democrats, he helped anoint a moonbat as his successor as Mayor of Knoxville and put a Zerobot in charge of education in this state, who is predictably incompetent). As with Senator, I haven’t voted GOP for Governor since 2006 and will support an Independent ex-Democrat who wants to return our state to pro-Constitutional moorings (John Jay Hooker). I voted for Hooker when he was the Democrat nominee for Governor in 1998 against our sleazy RINO incumbent (the Democrats hated Hooker and easily got in bed with the RINO).
The only office I do routinely vote GOP for is opponents of our liberal spendthrift Democrat Congressman Jim Cooper, if only because no Republican has won this seat since President Grant got his second term in 1872. That is largely a protest vote, since any Republican is lucky to get to 40% in this district.
So much has got to be changed and cleaned up from top to bottom in every imaginable way.
Dan Bongino is a true normal person amongst all the freaks.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Yawn.
Actually the “yawn” is for fools like you, who constantly complain about black eyes and loose teeth, but you still run back to your boyfriend after each beating.
You don’t know what a beating is, hoss. If they elect 400 democrats to the House like you want, you’ll see a beating like you can’t imagine. Lady Liberty, raped and left for dead.
The gop have turned on their own; offering their wives and children to the dems to be raped and beaten, just because they didn’t wear the right dress to dinner. And for good measure, they join in the fun.
I want nothing more to do with a party that has behaved as the republicans have the last few elections. Apparently you have agreed with them that you have nowhere else to go, and must accept their abuse; me? I’m planning on burning their bed while they sleep.

The author is full of it. Obviously it’s a tactic to solicit donations from “GOPE” haters. Both parties fund any race that they assess is winnable and more money will make a difference, period.
