It's widely acknowledged that in 2010, the Democrats are on the ropes. But just about the same could be said for the Republicans.

This author is Dunn.

Thank you God for Michelle Bachmann. She , Dainels, Baurbour and Pence etc represent the future of the party. Steele, Gingrich, McCain, et al the failed past.

Well, at least Steele seems to be maintaining a low profile.

Out with the old wimps and in with the new spines. Are you listening GOP? Probably not—let not Novembers results be a ringing endorsement to the party of the spineless but an indictment against the ObamaRats party of commies.

I can tell you all that the GOP is in on all of this, but you won’t allow yourself to even consider it, let alone look for proof.

I will eventually add this to a long list of ‘I told you so’s’ that I have.

Mark my words, an election of “R’s” in November will yield NO RESULTS. In fact, it will harm this country MORE THAN IF DEMOCRATS WIN! An election of right-wingers MIGHT help reverse the damage that has been done.

“We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples. As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them,” ~Trent Lott

The GOP/RNC are NOT your friends. They have been compromised.

Republicans should not be fooled. This coming election will be a referendum on the Democrats, not a validation of the Republican Party.

If you are an establishment Republican who views politics as an occupation, a business, your object is not to wage political crusades but to lucratively farm the political landscape. In other words, you want the status quo to prevail, you want the game to be played within the boundaries, you want business as usual. Above all, you do not want anything to interfere with your principal business which is lobbying and politics are but the smarmy, inconvenient, and tedious dues one must pay to keep the lobbying going.

So the object is not to be a winner but to be a player.

Did you read beyond that first paragraph in the article?

He’s right as he usually is. The Repubs are losers. Thank the RINO leadership for that.

We have to do it ourselves as the Repubs are too damned weak, and spineless.

The party leaders cannot come to grips with what is happening in this country.

There is an opportunity here to connect with a huge chunk of Americans disgusted by what has been happening in Washington DC for the past 2 years.

In fact, it will harm this country MORE THAN IF DEMOCRATS WIN

So which Left-wing Progressive Fascists clown posse do you work for?

The ONLY way you can actually believe this hysteric drivel is is you are completely ignorant of US politics or actively working as one of Soro's Stooges. This claim is pure idiocy. It is either the product of a mind wholly divorced from political reality or one lying about it's true political allegiances.

So which are you political fool or political fraud?

Here is a chart, can you comprehend how utterly stupid your "the parties are all the same" emotion based dogmas are in light of these facts?

When the house is on fire, you worry about putting out the fire 1st, not the cockroach problem you have in the basement.

Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, to rock your boat.

Talk to me post November elections, when you and the rest of the GOP cultists are suffering your disillusionment.

It’s plain as day.

Progressives/One World Government proponents have infested both parties.

If you have more than lame insults to offer then, by all means, type.

Good Cop-Bad Cop is the oldest con in the world.

The longest successful run of that con has been in Washington DC. The Rinocratic Oligarchy has run out of minds...and ideas.

Emotion based slogans and hysteric posturing our not facts.

If you cannot grasp the difference between a federal budget deficit of $160 in 1 whole year with the GOP vrs a federal budget deficit of $164 billion in just July 2010 alone with the Democrats, you are too rabidly ignorant to be posting on this topic.

The facts have been presented, your response is to put your hands over your ears and scream no-no-no so you can cling to your comfortable bubble world delusions

You are completely divorced from political reality in your posts. Either learn the most basic facts of how politics work in the USA or quit wasting our time

Your idols in the Democrat party have brought this country to the verge of economic ruin. We have not time for either paranoid delusions or the fraudulent propagandizing of political con men pretending to be something they are not.

I am sorry but your mind on this issue is completely welded shut. There is no ability for any fact or data to penetrate the shield of invincible stupidity you have erected around yourself to avoid having to deal with the FACTS.

Either you are so politically stupid you have no clue at all what is going on in US politics these days or you are fraud lying about your true political alliances.

There is no way any sane ration mind can think the current crop of Democrats staying in control is better for the future of the US republic. None. It is pure and total idiocy.

So which is it, are you just this politically ignorant or are you a fraud?

Look, we are in a war for survival. The main effect of this article is to induce despair and apathy among conservatives. As of now in a campaign season our only choices are to support Republican candidates or to give Obama a default victory. The time for opposing RINOs starts on November 3rd. If the DNC is not paying you, you are being cheated.

“The time for opposing RINOs starts on November 3rd.”

I disagree.

I think it is YOU that is supporting the left by supporting RINO’s, who lull people to sleep and then sell them out in the dark of night.

That is exactly what is going to happen if we don’t vote-in the right people.

Snowe is not a Republican, neither is Brown, or Graham.

But, hey, vote for whomever you want.

Better to face an enemy than be stabbed in the back by betrayal.

I/We have had enough of that to last a few generations.

Forgive me if I can’t stomach RINO’s, or the thought of the loss of our sovereignty, or life under a World Government.

I vote freedom first, prosperity second, and, well, party is WAY down the list, FRiend.
