Uncivil War: Conservatives to challenge a dozen GOP candidates

I see New Hampshire mentioned here. I hope that no one is calling Kelly Ayotte a RINO or liberal, because she is not. She’s a strong 2nd Amendment conservative.

If she has National Republican Senatorial Committee approval, it is well deserved (and not in a RINO way).

[goodnesswins]

YES...what YOU said!

“For me, what this says is, we need to take a deep breath and decide whether [moderates and conservatives] work together or not,” said Tom Davis, the former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “And if we don’t, it can get very, very ugly.”

Conservative took a deep breath a long time ago Tom and realized the OP(formerly the GOP)has no intention of supporting the Conservative cause. The only alternative is a party based on strong Conservative principles. The ugliness is about to end.

LOLOL!!! I liked that movie. Kinda whiny,but not bad.

[wiggen]

if the conservative is unelectable,and the conservative won’t vote for the rino then the rino too is unelectable.

[almcbean]

Some thoughts:

1. Isn’t it illegal to poach Rinos?

2. If this keeps up, will Rinos be put on the endangered species list?

[Logic n' Reason]

Mess with the conservative bull,you'll get the horns. GOP, you better be taking notes. WE ARE DONE.... SICK... TIRED of your waffling,RINOism and pussification of this country. You're no different that the architects of destruction on the other side. The conservatives of this country have changed the meaning of the moniker GOP....It now stands for GROW ONE PAIR. Surely you can manage that between the lot of you,or you can just get the hell out of the way and let the girls take over!!

It is very clear you are running away from - or at least threatening to run away from - our dear spineless, leaderless, meallymouthed, rinos.

Now....pray tell....exactly WHERE are you running to? A Conservative Third Party? Wonderful!!!

OH....wait! THERE IS NO CONSERVATIVE THIRD PARTY!!!!!

[hoosier hick]

It’s funny that I don’t remember these stories when the Dems tried to torpedo Joe Lieberman....

hh

[edcoil]

The GOP has told us to not leave and form a third party, stay in the GOP and work to have your beliefs part of the mainstream “big tent”.

Just doing as they asked. Why would that present a problem to the leadership they say they support our views.

[napscoordinator]

lol. Aren’t we getting one tonight if Christie wins? I mean he is pretty dang close. I love for conservatives to win but Christie is not what we had in mind. How do you suppose you can say a statement such as NO RINOS when we don’t have the principles to live by that. I am very serious about this...it is almost like we are all talk or that we only say this when it is convenient. I am sure I will be blasted for this but if you think deep down, you know I am right.

[ohioWfan]

Maybe a “nightmare” for some Republican “officials”.....but a dream come true for the majority of Republicans.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Dems feign worry that the Republicans are failing their duty to protect democracy by shirking a dedication to a Big Tent Party..

I on the other hand worry that Dems are failing our heritage and Constitution by being the Big Teat Party.

[Logic n' Reason]

OK...you've told all of us what and who you're against! You've told all of us what you are running from - and I (and most likely we) agree with you!

Now...what are you FOR?? We know what you're running from...what are you running toward?

[Yorktownpatriot]

If the RNC had half a brain they would NEVER let Tom Davis anywhere near the candidate vetting process!
His RINO record is worthy of a “one way” safari to another
dimension.

Actually, that pic isn’t of Paul Gleason as Principal Richard “Dick” Vernon in “The Breakfast Club”, but when he reprised the role (and that scene in the library) in the spoof film “Not Another Teen Movie” 16 years later.

[MissMagnolia]

...a nightmare scenario for Republican Party officials ...

Strictly self-inflicted - ignore us at your peril or listen to 'we the people' and there will be no 'nightmare scenario'.

Here is a table that list all House Republicans and their votes on 4 key issues.

1. TARP Bill

2. Auto Bail-out

3. Cap & Trade

4. FDA Food Takeover

See post #6

ANY Congressman who voted for Cap & Trade MUST be REMOVED. They are either Traitors or they are simply too stupid to serve in Congress.

[Buckeye McFrog]

yeah, and the Democrats are going to get a string of stiff primary challenges from DUmmy activists on their left flank, so this will all shake out as it should....with moderates ending up like so much roadkill on the yellow line.

[cripplecreek]

In my district the 06 democrat loser is challenging the 06 GOP winner for the GOP nomination.

Politicians (and leftists) don't like voters to have a clear choice. And frankly, some voters don't LIKE having to make a clear choice. They like the mushy "can't we all get along" politician who tries not to offend anyone by having a clear discernable ideology.
