Michelle Backman needs to be in the leadership NOW. I guess we need women they seem to be the only ones with B****
Is this what Mark Levin has been railing a/b today?
You are correct. We will have to run a 3rd party for President in 12 because the Globalist Republicans are going to nominate Jeb Bush. I guarantee it. Maybe we can do some more weeding out of RINOS in the House. I am not going to support another Globalist for President.

The blue-blood establishment republicans - spineus lackingtinus
Well, the way I see it, the Republicans have two more years to get their act together, or our country will be destroyed.
If they cannot abandoned their old ways, then we need to kick them to the curb and vote in a new SECOND PARTY.
I’ve said this before. It’s not something we want to do unless we have to. But we are running out of time, and simply cannot let this go any further.
Sarah Palin briefly said as much about half a year ago, I think it was. She would prefer to win with the Republicans. But if they simply cannot pull up their socks and come to the rescue of our country, then they need to go the way of the Whigs that they replaced 150 years ago.
It’s really up to them. But if they make the wrong choice, then it will be up to us.
McCarthy (Majority Whip) and Cantor (Majority Leader) both voted with Dems to block the addt’l $22M in cuts.
WTF!
I agree. There needs to be a real third party, not one that’s going to hand the White House over to an even worse choice, but a wise one, that works from a local and state level, electing representatives into legislatures especially.
This Republican business-as-usual nonsense was the risk the tea party took when choosing to work through an already established party. Of course the Republicans would welcome them - they were dead in the water without them. But if it’s not to be a situation where the tea party is just reviving a Republican Party that should maybe have died a natural death from its betrayal of the Americans who believed in it, then the tea party must become The Tea Party.
Even if the Republican Party remains larger, the third party, if done right, will bring them to heel by drawing off their votes whenever they stray, in local elections, county and state governments, legislatures, wherever it needs to happen. Tea partiers care about saving America, seems to me, not saving the Republican Party.
For you posters here that have been defending Bonehead, Cantor and the old guard, I hope u open your eyes to what’s going on.
Eric cantor, the POS TARP, king, there would be no tarp and no GM bailout of the unions without him and butt friend Paul Ryan.
Rep. Jack Kingston (R., Ga.), who called himself a “proud RSC member,” but voted against the measure, offered a familiar argument against cutting across-the-board, saying it would cede too much power to President Obama. “I’ve got to say to my conservative friends, when you cut across the board, who do you think is going to be in charge of where these cuts come from?” Kingston asked.It is a familiar argument because it is the exact same rationale invoked by Senators (of both parties) who opposed a ban on earmarks. In this case, some Republicans argued that it would be better to wait and include further cuts — specific, Republican-approved cuts — in the 2012 budget that Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) will release in the spring.
Others were far more blunt in their opposition. Rep. Dan Lungren (R., Calif.) said that across-the-board cuts were “a lazy member’s way to achieve something.” And Democrats were predictably apoplectic — Rep. Jim Moran (D., Va.) said the additional cuts would “commit this country to an economic death spiral.”
On the other side, Rep. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.), a cosponsor of the amendment, urged his colleagues to make good on their commitment to reducing the deficit. “What we’re doing here is a rounding error compared to what we’re going to have to do with entitlement spending,” he said.
Jordan said it was time for government to start making the difficult choices that American families are making on a daily basis. “It’s not pleasant to reduce spending … I get that,” he said. “But if we don’t do this, [the] future for our kids and our grand-kids is diminished.”
After the vote, Republicans on both sides of the debate sought to downplay the split within the party. Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R., Miss.), a freshman member of the appropriations committee who voted against the amendment, told NRO: “As Thomas Jefferson said ‘Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle’… We’re committed to cutting spending, but doing it across the board is not the proper way to legislate … We need specific cuts.”
I want to know who didnt vote for it.
I am not trying to sound like a defeatest here but I knew when push came to shove this would happen.
Personally, and I hope to God in heaven I am proved wrong, but I think its too little too late. This wonderful country is on the very edge of the knife, I am so very scared for all of us.
I think the best approach is a primary challenge by a tea party candidate, then challenge the RINO again in the general election via the third party route if the TP candidate loses the primary.
Remember that great strides were made in 2010, but it was probably naive to think there would be a”transformation is complete” of the GOP establishment. It may require persistence over several election cycles.
We obviously still have a steaming pile of “Republicans” who need to get flushed down the toilet.
I suppose it was too much to ask for a full return to sanity after just one election.
I want to see a list of names to take to my next tea Party.
