As GOP civil war rages, Democrats look to benefit

A Republican civil war is raging, with righter-than-thou conservatives dominating ever more primaries in a fight for the party's soul. And the Democrats hope to benefit.

The latest examples of conservative insurgents' clout came Tuesday at opposite ends of the country. In Florida, political newcomer Rick Scott beat longtime congressman and state Attorney General Bill McCollum for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. And in Alaska, tea party activists and Sarah Palin

Umma, umma, the republicans aren’t running for high country every time their leadership shows up to campaign for them. They may be feeling around to figure out just who’s top dog, and yes, before 2012 there’s going to be a shakedown of somebody, but...

If ever there was a divided party running for high ground, and hiding out from their constituents as well, it’s the democrats.

Regime Media outlet “Ass Press” typical intentional propaganda fabrications.

The liberal idea that Republicans have to “move toward the center” in order to be successful is contradicted by the record of history.

Only the singular example of the Goldwater defeat in 1964 suggests that this might be true, and even then it would have been difficult at best for a moderate Republican to win in that year against LBJ.

The rest of presidential election history shows a very weak record for moderate, “progressive” Republicans. FDR trounced 4 moderates, so did Carter, Obama and Clinton. The only moderate Republicans to win were the war hero Ike and Richard Nixon.

There is no “civil war”. There is a fight to get as many really conservative candidates as possible on the Republican ticket, but there aren't going to be any democrats on any ballot that are superior to any Republican this election. The vast majority of the population has realized that it's easier and wiser to work to replace one weak Republican with a better one than to ever let another democrat sneak in between Republicans of any sort. Even the sorry RINO Republicans don't have the nerve to promote and enact the kind of crap we've seen from the democrats. Even McCain, as sorry as he is, isn't nearly as bad as a run of the mill democrat since all democrats are totally committed to eliminating the Constitution and capitalism.

McCain and other RINOS may regain their seats, but they can't last all that much longer and when they're gone, a better, more conservative, more honest, Republican will replace them not some democrat with a lie on his lip and Saudi money on his hip.

Meanwhile in Michigan, democrat officials are being forced to resign over the fake tea party due to identity theft, fraud, forgery and lord knows what else.

The media remains oddly silent.

I see these people all use the same talking points. Why would the Republican Party be falling apart? It stands to win big in November. I suppose this is just one more example of how the “progressives” are out of touch with reality.

Yeah, sure. The head of the DNC couldn’t even remember the name of their own senate nominee in Alaska.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Are we to believe that Pelosi, Reid, Feingold, etc. are in the mainstream?

MEDIA mainstream, maybe.

American mainstream? Not so much.

[popdonnelly]

Democrats faking a tea party! And the media won’t report on it. I guess they’ve given up all pretense and really are a propaganda arm of the White House.

[BamaDi]

These idiots are wishing.....yawn!

[nomad]

They have a point of sorts, but I`d say its not a civil war as many consider the RINOs of the Republicrat party to be as much the enemy as any other leftist. I mean rats or crats, not much of a difference, especially when The Snowe, Graham, and McLames are factored in.

[Martin Tell]

They still don't get it.

Good.

[I still care]

Palin is terrifying them.

Yep, you nailed it exactly. Which is why the Tea Party movement is so strong ... it is pointless to attempt to salvage the Dems, as they are imploding on their own. Much better and wiser to attempt a reformation of the somewhat more rational party in the Pubs. The Dem party is completely hopeless in the TP's eyes.

[cripplecreek]

L Brooks Patterson is a RINO but I really hope you will take a look at this video. This needs national exposure so spread it around. This is big. The democrats still voted to allow the “Tea party” on the ballot but failed.

BTW Oakland county had some 30,000 fraudulent voter registrations in 08.

If there was a civil war, it was over yesterday. The good guys won.

[Parley Baer]

I had to make sure this was not satire. Now that I see the nut really believes this nonsense I have only one response. Bwahahahahahahahahaha, snort, snort, hehehehehehehe, snicker, snicker, hahahahahahahahahaha, bwahahahahahahaha. This guy is just to funny.

[IncPen]

I wouldn’t trade problems with the liberals in this country for anything.

They’re effectively alienating an entire generation.

It’s great!
