I can't believe that any actual conservative will consider Mike (don't end common core, mend it) Huckabee to be anything other than a RINO right up there with Christie, Romney and Bush.

True conservatives really need to make clear to the GOPe that if it does do anything to make Cruz's run impossible, the base will boycott it's RINO candidates and stay home or vote third party.

And any idiot RINO enablers (including Ann Coulter and too many Freepers) who call us "quitters" for staying home, need to be put on notice that if the Democrats take the Senate, the fault will be entirely that of GOPe.

This is war now, and a vote for a RINO is a vote for the enemy Uniparty.

The GOPs better learn damn quick to take us conservatives seriously.

But even now the Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

And then there’s John McCain saying what will happen if the Republicans win the Senate: “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

So tell me again how much better off we'll be voting for the RINOs.

This is war now, and a vote for a RINO is a vote for the enemy Uniparty.

I was amused by the author's reference to voters' concern for "who will carry the Republican banner in the 2016 election campaign."

So, the banner depends on the candidate? Since when? The BANNER is what's bastardized so badly that Romney, a functional Democrat amoral statist if there ever was one, is foisted off as a guy to carry it!

I don't care WHO carries the banner -- I care WHAT the banner will achieve if it wins. It has, by virtue of my and others' voting "pragmatically" (that is, in fear) over the decades, become indistinguishable from the Democrat banner in essential premise of more and bigger government everywhere from health care to funding abortions and forced acceptance of open homosexuality in all corners of life.

The Republican BANNER should be: "Let Americans make their own decisions civilly and independent of government on those issues." Get Federal government OUT -- overturn Roe v Wade, and allow states to outlaw abortion, as most did before government involved itself. Get overbearing government OUT of the schools so parents and local communities run the show in the interests of their own children, and prevent them from being brainwashed by loopy teachers who can't be fired. Look at every ailment, social and fiscal, and you find excess government IS THE PROBLEM.

Government produces an amoral, immoral people with its false charity and forced "morality" that prohibits Christian prayer in schools and forces the military to accommodate open homosexuals.

There is really only one way to beat the Republican party, to prevent it from forcing conservatives to vote for the very things they want to stop.

That's to abandon the Republican party for the 2016 presidential race and run a LIMITED GOVERNMENT Christian conservative on an independent ticket. Limited government is what needs to win -- Republican victory alone, without reference to what it WINS, is clearly not enough.
