One point for McLame, he can atleast string a sentence together without a teleprompter.

After reading his editorial in the Russian paper, I would tend to disagree.

The position any Republican should take on any issue is relative to the amount of squealing done by Democrats. When Democrats squeal the loudest, it’s means the Republican pol is doing the right thing. They were all squealing very loudly and the biggest Dem pig, Harry Reid, was oinking louder than all the other Dem pigs. The lib media pigs were also doing a tremendous amount of squealing about Cruz. That meant Cruz was absolutely doing the right thing.

Just got this in an email recently. So true.

Psychology 101

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the “team”.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and this is why, from time to time: ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME

Wow.

Just wow.

You speak as if the GOP and Democrats are actually opposing forces of principals rather than just competing for raw power over the rest of the country. Both parties are full of our Ruling Class Overlords who say and do whatever is convenient to keep that power, which always results in our freedom and liberty diminishing.

I have no room in my heart for political hacks, whether they be Democrat or Republican. A pox on all of them.

We don’t seek idealogical purity, just people who will uphold their oaths of office and represent us rather than the interests of the beltway locust swarm.

Obamacare stays intact, the spending goes on unabated and the fundraising for 2014 will continue for the GOP.

The GOP leaders call this peace.

They will not get one dime from me!

The GOP-E is doing quite a fine job of destroying the party already.

I think I hung with the stupid party for a very long time, longer than most people did. I always made excuses for them, thinking they really did want to do the right thing. Even I have finally given up on them. The GOP-E is quite content at being the permanent minority party, as long as they can attend their dinners and cocktail parties, and have all the nice perks, that the ruling class enjoy. F them all.

How about this cretin that Cruz is putting up in Tennessee to try to lose a safe Senate seat?

Look at this guys face! He’s got an IQ in the mid-teens.

RE :“You were given the choice between war and dishonor,” Winston Churchill chided GOP wannabe Neville Chamberlain on the eve of the world war; a war that was largely crafted on a series of compromises by Chamberlain ala McClique.
“You chose dishonor, and you will have war,” thundered Churchill.”

Its a darn good thing that Roosevrelt stayed out of Europe until Gernamy declared war on US.

US was very anti-war up until then.

By waiting Roosevelt had a united American nation against both Germany and Japan and could do almost anything he needed to defeat them.

Imagine if he tried to attack Germany and Japan in 1930s and he had a civil war back here on his hands at the same time,
we saw some of that here in US in the 2000s.

Cruz’s intention is to destroy the party

Funny, Cruz isn't the one caving to the Dems. Cruz isn't the one pushing amnesty which truly would make the GOP a permanent minority party.

Methinks we have a GOP-E cheerleader on our hands. Wave those pom-poms around more!

Safe for the Beltway establishment is more like it.

When I joined FR it was about opposing Democrats. Now it’s about destroying Republicans.

Wow. You are making a big deal out of a guy pasting in Heritage Foundation viewpoints into a questionnaire? Who is carrying the water for the liberals here?

Look in the mirror, assclown.

Go ahead and bash the Tea Party on a conservative website. I bet you have fantasies about Karl Rove as well.
