[The Wizard]

I would suggest we all call our GOP leaders and wake them up.

[GeronL]

When we are being pushed into ovens, the GOP establishment might get a clue.

[Marylander]

Punish everyone in his fascist army. Do not waste time targeting him. Make people afraid to carry out his illegal orders.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Did the Vichy French fight Hitler? Our Quisling GOP-e are statists like BHO, they just want the frog to boil a little longer so he won’t know what hit him. If you expect Boehner and Company to do anything against Our First Black President™ then you’re nuts!

[vanilla swirl]

Listen carefully!
The Repub leadership is NOT our friends!
According to Rush (and I have no reason to doubt him) the Repub leadership hates conservatives, Tea-Partiers and Christians.
With that kind of moral depravity there will be no push back against Obama.
IRS targeting conservatives? The Rhinos would do the same thing if they had the power!

[nathanbedford]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

If your enemy is the Tea Party, the Obama jihad waged against them makes Obama, at least temporarily, your friend.

If your livelihood, your power, your prestige, and your campaign funds all depend on your ability to legislate tax exemptions to ameliorate the ravages of a corrupt tax system, it is not in your interest to eliminate the IRS for a fair or flat tax.

If the IRS scandal threatens elimination of the IRS, look for establishment Republicans to derail those reforms.

If the burgeoning outbreak of scandals threatens the two power monopoly, look for both sides to stifle reforms which would break up that duopoly.

Who feels most threatened by the Tea Party Movement?

Why did Karl Rove fight against the tea party in recent elections and why has he set up a 501(c)(3) to raise funds to fight potential Tea Party candidates?

Why have Republican Committee Chairman come out against the appointment of a special prosecutor? Why does the Republican speaker of the house stonewall efforts to handle a Special Committee to investigate Benghazi? Why does John McCain say that the thing we most need in Washington now is bipartisanship?

Is everything in Washington what it seems?

[SeminoleCounty]

If the GOP does not impeach Obama....then they are complicit in the scandals

If they act on the Obama scandals like they did Obama Eligibility....they won’t survive as a party. Wonder what excuses PhonyCon Liberal GOP will use to defend Obama on impeachment .....like they did with Eligibility

[JerseyHighlander]

This war isn’t over Obama, it’s over the NTEU,
Obama is gone in 4.5 years,
the NTEU will be here forever,

The GOP is up against the wall. It is immediately obvious to the non-connected observer. Freepers have been posting this non stop for the last week.

What isn’t obvious is whether those who are in the GOP and those who are big money donors to the GOP, quite understand how close they are to permanent multi-generational dispossession of almost all access to the levers of power. And the biggest money donors to the GOP might have already permanently abandoned the GOP...

Big donors who donate to the GOP have always donated to both sides, to make sure they have access to whoever wins the popularity contests called elections. Does the IRS scandal profoundly affect their power brokering calculations enough to actually stand up and shut down the FedGov until the IRS is disbanded? How many GOP power brokers would rather join the IRS NTEU union and use the IRS as a attack dog in the future?

If the GOP disappears, the large swath of GOP constituents who don’t contribute to both sides are going to be locked out of the US Federal government, and US State governments, within a few election cycles.

This is endgame, the GOP don’t have many options left, and a scorched earth policy of shutting down the Fed government, passing House bills to permanently disband large swathes of the Federal bureaucracy and selling off of the real assets of the Federal bureaucracy, and preparing for secession of States might be the only way forward.

I don’t see many politicians willing to put their neck out to save the GOP.

The GOP elite will switch parties, and retire to their gilded nests.
The grassroots GOP will have no loyalty to the GOP elites.

The GOP deserves to die as a national party if they don’t make it apparent red lines have been crossed that have effectively ended the Union.

I don’t see any GOP politicans in DC willing to say that on a Sunday morning talk show. Do you?

GOP can refuse to go to conference on the 2013 budget, they can refuse to pass continuing resolutions in 2014. They can literally strip large parts of the FedGov apart,

The system is very very broken, we’re going to be facing this IRS problem just as the Federal Reserve is forced to raise interest rates and stop buying Treasuries.

There is only one thing to be sure of here, huge huge sums of wealth are going to be swindled by those who control access to this power play drama, and many people are going to pay huge sums to lobbyists to get their piece of access to the new IRS...

[Gaffer]

Oh, I think the GOPe realizes, realized a long time ago, what is at stake here. What’s at stake here in their minds is their comfortable DC Second-Tier power, that’s what.

Their Senate Country Club, their DC Galas, getting to play golf with Obama; get some good air time with PBS, ABCCBSNBC, WaPo, NYT; slap a few backs and guffaw when O’resident signs a bipartisan Immigration Bill or Gun Bill into law -— all that. All they have to do is to trot back to their states every 6 years and lie their ass off like my Senator Chambliss here in Georgia.

There was a line in Wrath of Kahn that went something like “I would rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.”

They modified this slightly, but you get the gist. DC can be miserable for a real conservative; it is much, much easier to live on the side of appeasement and get the dog treats that go with it.

[sirchtruth]

Conservatives have been screaming for years on this site republicans are the true dangerous enemy, not the dems! The dems will destroy themselves, it's the republicans/GOPe who want to destroy conservatives from the inside out, the dems can't touch conservatives.

Until republicans are dealt with, we go no where as conservatives.

[spodefly]

Go to one of the “progressive” sites on the web and read through their comments on the IRS matter ... they are GLAD the government is being used to target their political enemies ... the more fervent of them are handling their snakes and speaking in tongues as they revel in the power of their God Government ...

And anyone that thinks the establishment Republicans are any different is clueless.

[autumnraine]

That caller was exactly right.

Obama has created an atmosphere that will terrify the average person from donating, much less the bigger donors.

Unfortunately, the DC Bubble is too thick for these morons to realize this.

[dps.inspect]

GOP? dropped them like a rock, no more money, no more votes, no nothing, wimpy bastards...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

The republican leadership(if you want to call it that) is part of the democrap party and no friend or ally to conservatives.Waste of time.

[Jabba the Nutt]

In the Anglo-Saxon world, Canada replaced it's "progressive conservative" party, which offered no alternative to creeping socialism. Canada now has lower taxes and more economic freedom than the US. In Britain the Conservatives (ie Tories) are in the process of being replaced by UKIP. Even in Germany, Merkel's moderates are being challenged by economic conservatives with Alternative fuer Deutschland.

The GOP are like the Bourbons, of whom it was said, "they forget nothing and learn nothing."

[alrea]

Democrats can redistribute their way to winning every election regardless of how much put on their credit card.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

GOP Better Realize They Are Fighting A War

The GOP Elites know they are fighting a war. They are fighting side by side with their Democrat pals against conservatives, Christians, libertarians, patriots and any one else who doesn't want to be looted and ruled over by wannabe God-Kings. Like some one said the Democrats and Republicans all ride in the same limousine. Sometimes they argue about who's driving but it will eventually go to the same place.

[Resolute Conservative]

They lost me as a party donor several years ago when they ran Bob Dole. I only give to candidates directly.

[onedoug]

We’re toast.

[1Old Pro]

But do they realize how serious this is

No, the RINO's are not in the Republican Party, they are members of the incumbent party. Their only "fight" is to get re-elected. It has nothing to do with principles.
