Rush: Cromnibus Designed to 'Eliminate the Tea Party'

So are we back to supporting McCain Feingold?

It’s kinda hokey to call money “speech,” but you can never run a “press” without money. Ask JimRob about that. Anyone who is limited in their right to spend their own money to propagate their own ideas does not have freedom of the press. Therefore campaign finance regulation is flatly unconstitutional, root and branch.

I was disappointed when Dinesh D’Souza copped a plea for that reason - the law he violated is bogus and SCOTUS, with O’Connor replaced by Alito on the bench, presumably would have so ruled.

I’m pro-Tea Party because I’m pro-constitution. And Irrespective of whose ox is putatively being gored in the process I reject the idea of complaining about an illegitimate law being made less egregious.

And so we introduce the grassroots conservative “Free Republic PAC!” In the very least, we should be able to influence some congressional elections.

Expect my support, in addition to my usual start-of-the-freepathon check.

I’m in!

This fantasy of a third party is indeed a fools errand. We can take over the GOP.

I agree. Take over the GOP - lock, stock, and barrel. We built it anyhow, not the political hacks and deal makers who took over while we slept and now run it.

Let them start their own third party. It will fail just as they are failing now.

[TheOldLady]

We do not!

But Boehner is not in my district, and I can’t vote for him one way or the other.

How are they failing? They have complete control over the party. That party now controls both houses of congress. They are in the process of marginalizing the remnant conservatism in the party. They have a pipeline to easy money, through the magic of crony capitalism. Where, precisely, are they failing?

They aren't. Any they are also not going to allow us to "take over the GOP - lock, stock, and barrel". Quite the contrary. They are going to use their considerable power (much of which was given to them a month ago, by the very people they mean to crush), to ensure that conservatism itself is driven from the mainstream of political thought.

maybeon ylur ballot it wasn’t.

there were still some races on mine that it was.

“The people of Ohio have to do the right thing and get him out of there before he helps the democrats and liberals do more damage to this country.”

I stopped counting on Ohio after 2008, and they haven’t disappointed me yet.

[VRW Conspirator]

Strange. I’m a Tea Partier, and no “Cromnibus” is going to eliminate me.

Bump. They can thwart the Tea Party all they want. But the Tea Party is not a political party. It is a movement.

[Secret Agent Man]

and i ws telling folks here before the election not to get their hopes up, because until new conservative leadership takes over from the rinos/gop-e in charge, very little what conservatives want to get done, wil get done.

you still gotta have the right people there in the event a takeover is possible. can’t mount a challenge without enough bodies to vote to replace with a better person.

Sounds Grate!

[Boogieman]

“We are being attacked, because they have the upper hand, to such a degree, that they feel safe to do more than just destroy constitutional conservatism politically, but also to thoroughly marginalize and discredit the ideas themselves. They do this because they know they have won. Not because they fear they will lose.”

Sure, they have won, that is why they keep losing seats to those tea party “hobbits”. Right now, they have only two advantages left, their leadership positions in the party and their big money backers, and one of those they will lose soon enough if trends continue. So they are squeezing all they can out of those leadership positions while they can still hold on to them.

GIVE IT UP! Man, people like you are F-ing hilarious! Simply freakin, F-ing HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Buy a jackhammer and get rid of that mental block, cause it`s made of cement!

[TheOldLady]

I agree with all but “replace” obolacare.

Before Ted Kennedy rammed HMOs down our throats, the medical system in our country was humming along successfully with doctors and patients dealing
with each other to make it the best healthcare system on Earth, with foreign dignitaries arriving here for treatment rather than staying with their own system.
All that was without the help of a system that was always headed for Death-Panel healthcare run into the ground by a greedy-for-power government.

Obamacare, the debacle that will wear his name forever, should be swept into the trash heap of history and become the forgotten POTrash that it is.

[exit82]

Time for a third party.

CoC donations can’t hurt us then.

"After this fiasco, it ought to be fairly easy to take out Boner."

Well, we will know in a few weeks but I predict that he will be reappointed either by acclamation or an overwhelming majority.

[JustAmy]

Looking forward to 2015 and the new PAC!!!

[nomad]

Yeah, so how`s that takeover thingy going? Call me when you even start, let alone succeed!

[nomad]

That guy is delusional! A laugh riot! But absolutely delusional!

[glennaro]

... but ... but ... but ... but that’s what self-described conservative Michael Medved says we should do ... all the while defending the status quo of the Gope leadership.

Hiya Amy!
