1) Levin supported the primary opponents of both McConnell and Boehner.

Dems & the GOPe don’t wait for primaries. Why should conservatives? Cromnibus was a declaration of war, IMO. Yet no “conservatives” who voted for it were targeted. No conservative actions groups were organized to fight back while a Boehner stalking horse PAC spent $200k to attack conservatives.

We’ve lost six months and in the mean time Boehner has consolidated his partnership with Obama and directed many attacks on conservatives.

This episode is just more evidence there is no organized conservative opposition inside the beltway to the GOPe. Jim Jordan is free to arrange an aggressive PAC like Boehner did to attack conservatives. He isn’t doing that. Why is that?

I share the anger of both of you, indeed I admit to a degree of despair. I pride myself, perhaps immodestly, of being among those who have been screaming about the treachery of Rinos.

I want blood on the floor of the House and the Senate (figuratively speaking, of course) in which Rinos are dumped from office. I accept virtually every one of the solutions which you two recommend. I myself have more than once suggested that we ought to consider the possibility of electing a Democrat in Boehner's and McConnell's place.

Mark Levin has been sounding the same tocsin of alarm and he has illustrated his warnings with anecdotes from his own participation in the Reagan administration. His conservative bona fides extend that far back and they are genuine because they are moments of real action. The last one I remember is his recounting the story of finding Saul Alinsky's books being distributed by the Carter administration at our cost.

Mark Levin has given the history of Rino domination of the party and their resistance to Ronald Reagan context so that we understand who the Bushes are, who the rest of them really are. He recounts betrayal by Orin Hatch on his program.

Mark Levin is not the problem, he is part of the solution, why in God's name do we shoot the messenger?
