“This is a real problem for the establishment,” one national consultant told FITS. “Kansas, North Carolina and possibly South Carolina – all are potential GOP losses because the party has pissed on the base. Atlas is shrugging and flipping the GOP the bird in the process.”

Sounds like the liberal republican establishment may have won a bunch of primaries at the cost of losing a lot of general elections.

When they call me for money I ask them three questions and a no answer to any of the three results in no money what so ever:
1. Has the GOP vowed to repeal Obamacare?
2. Has the GOP vowed to enforce ALL our immigration laws?
3. Has the GOP vowed to rein in the EPA?

Only problem is I keep getting 3 NO’s.

I was crunching some numbers last night after reading an article about GOP prospects in 2014 AND 2016.

The GOP NEEDS to take control of the Senate this year. With 24 GOP seats up in 2016, many of them in Blue states (plus it being a POTUS year with higher Dem turnout) failure to do so is probably going to hand the Dems another Supermajority starting in 2017.

Thats in addition to how the nuking of the Judicial filibuster will allow Obama to continue stacking the Judiciary between now and then.

Plus consider this: it’s 2017 and either Kennedy or Scalia leaves the Supreme Court due to age and failing health. President Hillary Clinton nominates Eric Holder as the replacement. And with a Dem supermajority he gets onto the Court without Reid having to extend the nuclear option to SCOTUS appointments.

I can’t believe you’d waste a good $10 on the GOPe!

Oh, you wrote you would NOT give $10 to the GOPe if you had $100 million. Good! Why throw away good money like that, right?

We need the “instant runoff” ballot, and we need it in every race! It would, of course, be the end of the “uniparty”, so they’ll never allow it.

(vote for your top 3 picks - if no one gets 50%+1 of the #1 picks, count #1+#2. Vote for “independent” first, then GOP).

They’ve not shown me they’re any different than the Democrats, lately.

***********
At least we know what the Dems stand for. Not so much with Republicans. They are a pathetic lot devoid of any convictions or beliefs. A party without a soul.

Do you really think at least a quarter of the GOPers won’t rubber stamp ANY Obama or Hillary nominee? It’s almost certain. We have to win the White House or it doesn’t matter what happens next when it comes to the the Supreme Court. ANY nominee by the left is going to be a disaster and tip the scales to 5-4 the other way.

De-fund the GOP! Starve the beast or it will deploy YOUR money to trash conservatives.
