The time has come for desperate measures against the Oligarchy.
Mitch McConnell is safely ensconced in the Senate Majority Leader position, for the Establishment and its donors went all out in 2014 to protect him.
And we know the Establishment and its donors will do the same to protect Paul Ryan. They will work to destroy anybody to dares to run against him in a primary. And then they will just say "too bad, republicans, itâs Ryan or the democrat."
The Establishment can protect Paul Ryan from conservatives in a primary, but they cannot protect Paul Ryan from conservatives in a general election (unless they can convince their buddies the democrats to allow Ryan to run unopposed, which isn't likely)!
Therefore, the conservatives in Paul Ryan's district can do the nation a service by voting against him in November of next year, and not just by withholding their votes, but by actively voting for the democrat.
Even if not defeated, Paul Ryan will be significantly weakened in his position, prompting others to rise up and run for speaker in January, 2017.
We must do all we can, and only the conservatives in Paul Ryan's district can do it.
And before I am accused of being a shill for the democrats, I ask that you think about all the Establishment donors who said that if Trump or Cruz is the Republican nominee, that they will vote for Hillary.
I ask that you think about John Warner endorsing Tim Kaine, or Richard Lugar endorsing Michelle Nunn, or Dede Scozzafava endorsing Bill Owens, or Bill Bolling endorsing David McCauliffe, or the republican legislators who endorsed Sam Brownback's opponent in Kansas last year. And on, and on.
“Another thing you should know: moves like this one are often organized by liberal Democrats.”
WHICH move? Moves to send RINOs an unequivocal message to go to hell? Or moves to stop the shades-of-DavyCrocket “Go to hell” message from being sent?
Cantor was tossed out and enough of Paul Ryan now.
In the old days, one who went against his constituents might expect a party when he returned home — warm tar and feathers.
Were that tradition to return, you would see pols changing their postitions on many issues.
Oddly enough, it seems as if they already did.
It's FAR more difficult for Conservatives to affect a Primary, but it's easy to make a huge difference in the General.
Remember, each House seat election is for only 2 years and the harm done by ensuring the Dim is elected over the Traitor is easily undone in 2 years.
First, the GOP must die.
Everything else comes after that.
We must, however, have the support of an honest true believing base; from State Legislature, State elected offices, to County and local offices, WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND. Since 2010 over 1,000 Dems. have been replaced by R's nationally. Our problem has been on the corrupted and compromised National Party.
In The 80’s fiscal and religious conservatives took the “Grass Roots” of the Party—Nationally, and used our position to settle on changing the Party Platform; instead of using our organization and unity to take the higher offices of Party Leadership. What an opportunity was lost; but our people could not accept the sacrifice that required.
To succeed we must find that resolve today. This is hard. The reason is simple: We are not driven by the same lust for power and money, that our adversaries often are. Our reasons are for principles of family, patriotism, and building a free and powerful civilization to leave to our children.
We must have this kind of dedication, if we are to have a America that will “restore the years the Locust have eaten”. I think we do. Join your neighbors and FIGHT.
Pretty hard to do if not impossible. By voting for the democrat your vote counts twice as much as a withhold and I would rather have a democrat than a GOPe traitor.
It is not enough to merely wash your hands, you must take whatever action is necessary to remove the most Evil of the two.
Horrible advice that I hope people of good conscience do not take. The Dem in that race is Ryan.
Knocking off a few of the worst GOPe members is hardly giving the democrats a majority. We note your concern however.
And dat's the name of dat tune.
It makes me wonder what a Romney/Ryan administration would have looked like. I voted for them. Had my dupoubts, but was sort of voting against Obama. This is why I will never again vote for anyone but a conservative. No more MvCain/Romney/Ryan/Rubio/Bush votes from me.
The preceding is a paid political announcement of the Ryan for Congress committee.
If this can be done-
IT NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY!
And if it doesn't work then voting for the democrat might be the only way to have a chance to save the country.
IT'S THAT SERIOUS.
It is easier for dedixated activists to knock somwine out in the primary than in the general. Also, find ONE candidate, not ten. The GOP will try to muddy the waters with extra candidates.
I agree.
It’s called Strategic Voting. We can live with one more Democrat skull o’ mush for a few years if in exchange we knock out a RINO in a position of leadership.
Should have taken out McConnell using the same method.
If I were in Paul Ryans district, I would write in, “Donald Trump” in the next election. FYPR and the rest of the pro PP funding baby killers!
Same with Ron Johnson and Sean Duffy. I’m done with RepublicRATS!
Yes ONE CANDIDATE NOT TEN. The future of our country depends on it.
This week's vote to give Obozo EVERYTHING HE WANTS was delivered by the same old, same old, "GOP-E" phonies who serve the interests and despise anything remotely conservative. They vote as they do because they WANT to vote that way.
The purge should continue at the Congressional level. Boehner is gone. Cantor is gone. Now, let's eliminate from the Senate McConnell, Cornyn, Cockroach, Wicker, Alexander, Corker, Moocowski, and every treasonweasel "GOP" Senator who voted for "the interests" over OUR interests. In the House, we must eliminate Ryan-o, McCarthy, my own Kinzinger and each and every other treasonweasel "GOP" representative because they represent the plutocrats who grease their palms and not us who have been foolish enough to elect them. Leave a smoking heap of their corpses slain on the political battlefield of primaries or general elections as necessary and desirable. Treat them as rudely as you know how when they dare show their despicable faces in public to lie yet again as to their nefarious and absolutely corrupt intentions.
