In short, they absolutely 100% need us. They are barely winning elections as it is. Will we stay? I doubt it.

Something to seriously consider. Is john Boehner and a few other rinos actually working with o to keep their power and wealth or maybe o is blackmailing some. I'm sure o knows how to use the NSA effectively. Why would Boehner and rinos hate their base more than democrats? If your the head of the party you go after democrats and don't pull funding from conservatives who won the primary. I wonder what o really called Boehner to his office for a few days ago. Things are going south fast for o and he might have a better offer for Boehner or maybe more dirt on him.

Mitch McConnell is the leader of trying to cut off funds to conservative challengers backed by Senate Conservatives Fund and such, even if they win a primary, didn’t he promise to do that?

As Bob Dole said... “now it is my turn”... ie my turn to make my pile of money quietly with the office affording authority from being criticized.

All this hush murder by abortion is steeped in a mix of blackmail and personal PC arrangement of “all news are nice and nothing is going on”.

Of course the Democrats do not play that way... they have their third parties to undermean them like the greens, reform, libertarians and all kinds of people in the media.

Yes he did promise that. Additionally, we have history to back up that promise. A number of TEA Party candidates who defeated RINOs in the Primary got zero funding for their General Elections, and lost as a result. We would have control of the Senate today had they funded Sharon Angle, Joe Miller, Christine O’Donnell, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock. There are others.

I would question why the tea party/conservatives need the GOP. The GOP is as dead/relevant as the Whigs.

You mean like the support Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnel didn’t receive in 2010?

They could have controlled the Senate...

Yep. I listed them on a couple of posts today. Angle, O’Donnell, Miller, Akin, Mourdock....

GOPe thinks it’s better to lose the Senate than win it with us. They hate us *that much.*

he grew up communist and converted for all tge right reasons

Great point, he was one of them, he hung out with the black panthers, his parents were radical communists. He really knows liberalism like the back of his hand, much more than Rush.

Rush knows a lot. And he’s willing to imagine outside accepted premises

Davis Horowitz is a special person. He comes to the situation with a knowledge. This is a long article, but a logical easy read

I highly recommend it

Drug Rationing for Seniors Begins

The Rube Goldberg Democrats - ObamaCare is the party's unworkable contraption of nonperformance.

Gun Makers Find Greener Pastures Down South

How Likely Are Democrats to Lose the Senate? That's just an example of a “Monte Carlo simulation,” an exercise in statistcs. It ignores the effects of Obamacare, the renewed rat war on guns and the rats war on carbon based energy. If the rats keep the U.S. Senate, then I might start to believe claims that the rats can cheat their to electoral victories anywhere they please. Why don't thr rats have the House?

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

"I believe the emergence of the Tea Party is the most important political development in conservatism in the last 25 years, and is possibly the last best hope for our country."

Thank you Rick Santelli...
