Republicans go on attack—against others in GOP
Associated Press ^ | Aug 3, 2013 11:01 PM EDT | David Espo

The barbs are personal, the differences are multiplying among Republicans, a party divided over spending, foreign policy, a willingness to risk a government shutdown in order to defund the health care law and more.

“I didn't start this one and I don’t plan on starting things by criticizing other Republicans,” Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said recently as he and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie likened one another to various cuts of a butchered pig.

“But if they want to make me the target, they will get it back in spades.” …

While the media will revel in this GOP fight, now is the time to have it. If not now, when? It has to happen. Actually, I will wait for Karl Rove to say that now is not the time, before being certain that now IS the time. Go Whacko Birds!

"Establishment Republicans" lose everytime they're listened to.
They wouldn't care if they DO lose.
If they can't be in power, they don't want US in power.
It's just that simple.
It's WAR!

"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
DO CONSERVATIVES "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" WANT TO WIN IN 2014 OR NOT?

Jack Kerwick wrote an article on May 24, 2011 titled The Tea Partier versus The Republican and he expressed some important issues that I agree with.


I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.

The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

By contrast, in the (alleged) Democratic Party, such free speaking of differing views (or having a non-approved opinion) is not permitted, one suspects.

The GOP has turned into a circular firing squad. We all hang together...or we’ll all hang seperately.

If these clowns can’t get it together and unite to defeat the left, we’re in for four or eight years of Benghazi Betty (Hillary).

What a parade of .... I was going to say losers, but that’s not really fair. Dole and McCain bled for this country, Ford always seemed like a very decent man, as does Romney. They just are NOT what the Republican Party and the U.S.A. needs! God bless them for whatever good they have done, but their way of doing things is part of the problem. I take it back, McCain is a loser. The others are just nice guys who came in 2nd because they weren’t what we need. Good post!

The statist RINO elites don't want to defeat the Left...they want to go along to get along. They're fat and happy in their DC condos, not having to face their constituents most of the year. As long as they're in control of the GOP, we might as well have Hilldebeast and the Obammunists in charge...at the crash and burn will come sooner.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I cannot imagine getting a true picture of news about the republican party from the AP. Am I wrong?

They got the “attack” bit right, but they will portray it as “moderates” (leftist RINOs) against the “far right” (actual conservatives and fiscally-conservative libertarians).

I know, and I'm a retired veteran.
But that doesn't give them the right to go against what this country was founded upon, and that is FREEDOM.
McCain especially should know that socialism COMMUNISM doesn't work, since he fought against it and served time in a P.O.W. camp.
McCain is just another power hungry Communist pretending to fight for Freedom, when he is actually undermining it.

There is a reason why Christe engaged in man-love on the beach with Barry after Hurricane Sandy, and turned down Rand Paul’s invitation for a beer. He is a petulant man who was really pissed off when Romney didn’t chose him for VP; and now is trying to suck up to the RINO’s in GOP to get the presidential nomination.

The Revolutionary War was fought and won by 1/3 of us who fought another 1/3 who were siding with the British while another 1/3 hid in their basements with two flags waiting to see which to come up waving. Patriots fighting people the GOPe is nothing new, but that doesn’t mean we can let up.

What you wrote pertains also to FR...and it's getting worse.
