Of course the WaPo thinks a socialistic intrusive bloated inefficient controlling debt-ridden government is better.

You roll them, advised former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.). I do think we need stronger leadership, and theres got to be some pushback on these guys who think they came here with all the solutions. And how exactly does "rolling" and "pushback" translate into election votes for your decrepit and corrupt old party, Trent?

Democrats, media and RINOs are really afraid of the Tea Party and other conservatives. FR needs to go on a full court press to strengthen the conservative side and completely take over the GOP.

Republicans are the Sally Fields of politics. Desperate for approval from their fellow elitists.

Translation: moderate repulicans cover for us! We don’t want to see more of them destroyed or removed from office. Because then socialism’s advance will rest squarely on the democrats.

Yes, it is time to scold those Tea Partiers. The WashPost is merely following the example of Great Leader as he blames and lectures. Let us count ourselves blessed to sit beneath so great a set of minds as to show us the error of our ways. Great Leader be praised.

We all know how much the Washington Post cares about Republicans... nice to see them express so much ‘concern’ for our well being... /s

The Tea Party is gaining credibility now.
Liberals are starting to worry.
To: don-o
The T-Party people want to save the party and government from the self destructive increases in debt and the destructive Obamacare but RINO’s and Democrats fight tooth and nail to stop them, then they call it a victory when they do.

For me, the current GOP absent the Tea Party has no meaningful position in opposition to the democRAT agenda that it pursues with any vigor. It simply plays the game much like the Washington Generals play the Harlem Globetrotters. The media wants an amenable GOP to survive so there is a “game” to report on.

GOP Must Save Itself from 'Self-Destructive
Impulses of the Tea Party'*SNICKERING*...so typical of the piglet; sucking on the dying sow...
I imagine that was exactly said; by British Loyalists during the American Revolution, too.

Bad advice. Purging the Tea Party from the GOP will even more certainly cause the GOP’s demise.

Wow! Could it be any more clear how corrupt and inbred these Washington insiders are?
If you go to Washington REALLY determined to make things for “We The People” better, you better sit down and shut up! The Democrats and Republicans “got it”.
I don't want the Republican Party back. I don't want the “Grand Ole Party” label. The hell with it! We need new times, a new party!

This is just the Wash establishment telling us to sit down and shut up.
Um, no, we're not going to do that.

What is wrong with that?
The rinos, GOP-e and the dims have done such a great job.
Why hinder them?
Has anyone made a list of the shills writing for Soros, the white house, the dim party......, etc?
It has been suggested that they have shills in almost all of the major newspapers, either on the staff or writing letters to the editors.
Bottom line: Even if they are not known by name, the practice is so prevalent that the news papers have become irrelevant as a news source.
To: don-o
Golly-gosh.
Jhee-wizz.
The WaPo REALLY, TRULY,REEEEEALLY wants the GOP to succeed here.
Really.

That the government shutdown was a political disaster for the party that engineered it is widely acknowledged...
Was it really? Widely acknowledged sounds like the consensus we here so much about when they're talking about global warming. Whther or not it was a political disaster won't be known till after the fourteen midterms.
You roll them, advised former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.). I do think we need stronger leadership, and theres got to be some pushback on these guys who think they came here with all the solutions.
TRENT LOTT????? OMFG!!!!! another great GOP leader! Tiny Tom Daschle rang rings around him!
