For my part, have contributed to Cornyn’s two top challengers.

"...the GOP leadership..."

Uh, they are NOT leaders.

Politics takes money. The Republic is in peril. The Founders pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor". What can we do?

A program of work for the primaries:

Senate

Support Matt Bevin to oust Mitch McConnell in KY

Support Dwayne Stovall to oust John Cornyn in TX

Support Joe Carr to oust Lamar!

Support Lee Bright to oust Lindsey Graham in SC

Support Dr. Milton Wolf to oust Pat Roberts in KS

Support Chris McDaniel to oust Thad Cochran in MS

House

Support Eric Gurr to oust John Boehner in OH-8

Also, press your Representative to NOT support Boehner for Speaker - or Cantor, either!

Support Dave Brat to oust Eric Cantor in VA-7

Also, press your Representative to NOT support Cantor for Speaker.

Support Katrina Pierson to oust Pete (NOT Jeff) Sessions in TX-32

Support Bryan Smith to oust Mike Simpson in ID-2

Support David Hale to oust Adam Kinzinger in IL-16

Can you say scorched earth? I am thinking if the heat gets to bad look for leadership to pad their portfolios.

It’s way past time for conservative groups to call for new GOP leadership.

"House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, as well as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip John Cornyn"

A Commie troika of five....

It is too bad we have to do this, but the feckless leadership leaves us with no other choice. I’ve contributed to Matt Bevin. Time is past due to ditch Mitch.

> “...There is not a single conservative accomplishment this so-called ‘leadership’ can point to.”

Well, there was one accomplishment but Monsieur Ryan gave it away. It was called the Sequester and it was pushed on to Boneher in early 2013 by Tea Party Terrorist (TPTs) Members of the Gop-g (GOP grassroots).

I approve of the list Boneher, McCarthy, Cantor and all the others. But I should think Monsieur Ryan would appear on the list, Non? But of course he has such a pretty face, maybe the GOPe when they renominate Monsieur Rommey for 2016 can persuade him to choose Monsieur Ryan again?

“It is too bad we have to do this, but the feckless leadership leaves us with no other choice. I’ve contributed to Matt Bevin. Time is past due to ditch Mitch.”

The founders never envisioned a career being made over representation in DC. With rare exceptions, those who venture there eventually get polluted and forget the states/people they represent and just represent their own interests.

So yes, it is too bad we have to do this but yes, the founders’ wisdom is that an election is how to eradicate the entrenchment.

I fervently wish those who wind up replacing these vow to never pass a law that exempts those passing it. They do that to often.

Nope. They aren’t. Not anymore. See Alexander Hamilton for details.

All of those “leaders” are as worthless as a one-legged clothespin.

First things first. What do we do about the head of the snake, the RNC Chairman, Reince Pribus? Isn’t that where orders to scuttle the primary campaigns of conservatives (like Herman Cain) come from? The entire power structure of the RNC is weighted heavily toward old guard left-moderates. The local screed ran an article by some commentator a month ago pleading with the Republican Party to start running “real conservatives” like Bob Dole. I had to re-read that line four times to make sure I was seeing it correctly.

TX people are so committed to Cornball that it is sickening.

TX doesn’t have a second Cruz-like/compatible politician?

Local radio has been having a lot of ads by a group calling itself “Conservatives for America” or similar...pushing Amnesty.

Likely a Dem front group.
