Dumping? A little competition in the primary is not going to hurt anyone.

I guess, but Castle is the only Republican that could win in that state; take my word for it... But don't worry, Castle will vote with the Party in 2013 when we get a new President in and repeal is possible.

I certainly havent watched the nightly network news since last century, nor do I pay for a liberal paper.

But a lot in ‘the middle’ do get influenced.

“Castle is the only Republican that could win in that state; take my word for it.”

Correct, so let’s let him win that and focus on other races in contention.

What do some of the Republicans not understand?

It is what we don't seem to understand, most of these Party leaders are for this kind of stuff, they just don't want to be caught supporting it. They hide behind the Dems when they are not in power, and the Courts when they are.

Repealing zerocare should be of prime importance.

Already I am hearing of dissembling and humina humina for different quarters of the GOP.

This just can’t be allowed to stand.

Instead of ‘repeal’, I would like to see the R’s run on changing the law-making process so that it slows things down. That will win more seats than repeal promises. Tell me that natural delays will be built into the process, and no more ram-this-thru/ram-that-thru will be allowed to happen.

Run on that promise, and there would be more than enough people to blow thru a veto of ‘repeal’...

The primaries is where we need to flood the ballot box.

Case in point FL. The GOP leadership is pooping a brick because their RINO has failed.

Take out the go along to get along RINOs today, and we take the leadership back on primary+1

Josh Marshall, the guy who runs the talking points memo website, he’s one really slimy communist.

Right on!! How about; No vote until a bill has been posted,for the public to see, in it's entirety, for thirty days? Today this means the Internet.

If there are amendments after this thirty day period, the whole process starts over.

There could be provisions for those things that are truly emergencies. Emergency would mean National Security, or natural disaster where delay would cause significant looss of life. Property would not be a consideration.

We need to forever take away the ability of law makers to make laws that redistribute wealth. We need to enshrine individual sovereignity even more so in the constitution.

I completely agree. I am just saying that more people will 'sign on' if the promise is to fix 'the process'. That said, I don't know how much more clear we have to make things. The constitution does not allow for redistribution of wealth - but we have allowed it. And now, we have to fight to get back to where we need to be.

OK. But better for all that he taste a little bit of competition and know that we’re around, imho. We need to keep people honest. This is the year to do that!
