You don't go on television during a shutdown and tell the world that your party is shutting down the government. You don't go out and take vicious shots at other Republicans for advocating the strategy your party is engaged in, especially when you don't have the cahones to go after Democrats the same way. If conservative Republicans like Justin Amash and Tim Huelskamp were punished for not being deferential enough to leadership, how is it that establishment Republicans can actively work to undermine the Republican Party during a shutdown fight and get a complete pass?
If these mediocrities are so desperate to get in the good graces of the media that they're willing to try to sabotage their own party, then they should change teams and become Democrats. If they want to become commentators so they can say what they want without it hurting the GOP, they should quit and go to work for MSNBC. If they just don't like it because there are actually conservatives who expect them to get off their lazy asses and fight for conservatism for the first time in their entire political careers instead of just talking a good game when it doesn't matter, then they're in the wrong business. In any case, after the petulant way these Republicans have behaved during the shutdown, tell me why anyone other than Democrats would miss them if they lost in a primary?

I would cut King some slack based on his district if he just STFU. Since he hasn’t, he deserves no slack.
You forgot Corker.
Unfortunately he is not up for reelection until 2018
She’s not up for reelection until 2016
Nunes’ District wraps around Fresno (but does not include it). It’s adjacent to two National Parks, so if he’s gone wobbly about the shutdown he’s probably worried about all the people who are on paid vacation.
Keep posting it, FRiend :)
I am not seeing if Joe Carr is pro life or not. Other than that, he sounds perfect
I live in his district and have voted for him every 2 years. My vote is now on the table so to speak. He has won over and over so his voters are not wobbly! Very discusted with him.
I am referring to King! If it comes down to voting for him or the democrats next year I think I just wont vote on who my next congresscritter is.
We need one for Ayotte in NH.
Well .. are we just going to sit here and rattle off obsenities to the repubs ..??
OR, are we going to get involved in the Tea Party or Freedom Works - and support and vote for REAL conservatives ..??
If we take option 2, we could keep the house (and fill it with lots more Ted Cruz and Mike Lee people); and then take back the Senate - to keep Obama from getting anything more of his “transformation of America” stuff.
EIGHTY-ONE (81%) of the American people are unhappy with govt .. so here is our golden opportunity to change it. We don’t have to walk around telling the left what we’re going to do .. WE JUST NEED TO DO IT. The results will speak for themselves. The left will be fuming and that’s exactly what we want.
Remember, the repub elites tried to take over FreedomWorks, and they were stopped. Proving what we alredy know .. they’re all HAT and no CATTLE.
We have leadership (Cruz, Lee, Palin) .. all we have to do is get behind them and it will hopefully lead to a lot more victories. We need to win big in 2014, and we need to win big in 2016. If we don’t, it could mean the end of America as we know it .. and I believe, firmly, that the 81% do not want to see the end of America.
We can’t just give up .. WE CAN’T!!!
