Aw, you’re just tryin to cheer us up.
To clarify things somewhat. The Democrats are socialist internationalists. The Republican leadership, while insisting they are “conservatives”, are actually multinational corporation internationalists. That is, they are wholly owned by their constituents, the Chamber of Commerce, which is led by multinational corporations with no loyalty to America at all.
In effect, the Republican leadership has once again become the “pro-slavery” Whigs, since “slavery is good for business”, despite the overwhelming majority of the rank and file who are ardent opponents of slavery.
So the only options remaining for the Republican rank and file is to either overthrow and expel the Whigs from the party; or to form another party and let the Republican party rapidly die off.
Fortunately the Tea Party is in for the long game, and has already eroded a lot of the worst Whig offenders. And while all conservatives agonize over how long this transition is taking, it is happening, and it may be inevitable.
In the last election, “The Empire Struck Back”, with the Whigs achieving some gains, but at tremendous cost, and also inserting fifth columnists who pretended conservatism until elected, before showing their true colors.
The effectiveness of the Tea Party can be seen in the large assortment of candidates for president in the Republican field. The conservative threat is so great, and so many Whigs so uncertain of their fate, that they are crowding in to the race, because the anointed candidate is so obviously weak.
The culling will be brutal. But the support for conservatives is strong, as is the unwillingness for the rank and file to tolerate Whigs, despite their pretensions to conservatism.
LOL, nice try.
Trump crashed and burned at the debates (yes the Fox hit job was in), but this article is trying to keep alive the ONE thing that supposedly propelled Trump to the front. That being, he’s the only one that can stop Jeb Bush.
Baloney. Jeb Bush had a horrific night on Thursday and it’s only a matter of time before the GOPe realizes they’ll have to dump it. That was happening with or without Trump on stage. Bush’s answers on immigration, PP Board, and common core all sucked. This guy doesn’t have the debating skills of Romney. And Bush keeps digging himself a whole. He was a nonfactor in that debate and forgettable.
Bush is not going to be the nominee whether Trump was in this race or not.
Given that, people need to jump off this Trump bandwagon and go support a real conservative that can win, like Cruz or Walker.
All of this is simple: America is dea. Trump thinks he has a plan to bring America back to life. What harm can he do? Walker flopped so I have moved on. I’ll support Trump for now and probably right through is election.
The purpose of the GOP in 2015 is not to represent conservatives, but to prevent them from power.
Unless many more districts do as mine did and throw weasels like Eric Cantor out, nothing will change.
Most of the elected Republicans are in fact Democrats in R jerseys.
For the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.
GOP-RIP
There is only one party in DC: The Federal Government.
Congresscritters, Senator and Representative alike, are employees of the Federal Government. They represent and serve the interests of that same Federal Government, since, by doing so, this increases their own power and opportunity.
The same is true of the Judicial and Executive branches.
Basically, we have little or no representation in DC.
And yet, the lemmings will vote, maybe begrudgingly, for whoever they elite tell us to vote for.
Conservative Treehouse hasn’t done their homework on the Koch Brothers.
Trying to tell me there is no difference while promoting the talking points of the left is weak.
The piece doesn’t even have to be smaller than Jeb. There are the superdelegates to rectify any embarrassments from the primaries.
This is the face of the GOP? Mr. Mumbles and Sir Cry-a-lot? Good grief, no wonder Democrats are always grinning.
Cruz on leadership corruption and sellout......
That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, “We’re asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.
Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, that’s what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because we’re scared of this issue. We don’t want to have a political fight on this.
But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.
Now, I was sitting there — to be honest, I hadn’t gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, “There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”
If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.
