The fact that the GOPe's strategery of electing more RINOs to also win control of The Senate and TOTUS failed, indicates that a new strategery is needed.
The power the GOPe has is the power of the purse in the House. They refuse to use it and want to provide voting cover to continue their strategery to win more political headcount power in the future.
I suggest that that ship sailed again out of the harbor in 2012 and promptly sank.
The power conservatives gave the GOPe in 2010 was misused by the GOPe powerati - the old line mega-term Republicans like Boehner.....should the Republican party keep the House in 2014, John Boehner will NOT be elected speaker again.
If you look at the young turks like Tom Graves, etc. they will not be deterred, nor will they play these silly appeasement games. I hope we give them more colleagues in the same vein come 2014.
