After 9/11 it was impossible that a black racist muslim marxist would be elected twice as president. Politics is war... nothing more... nothing less.

The SF lib newspaper thanks you for taking this article, which they wrote with only one goal in mind...to make conservatives angry....for being a tool in their little game.

The GOP needs to get off their hind ends,

Oh the heart of the eternal optimist. After all this, after everything leading up to; you still believe the GOP is capable of doing ANYTHING other that capitulating to the Dems, and furthering its own lib, big government agenda. Bless your heart.

...we cannot simply support the dems

Look what happened in the US Senate. So many RINOs voted with the dems to let Obamacare survive, and insulted conservatives in the process, that they're the reason it wasn't defunded or delayed. We would've been better off if the six (or so) worst RINOs weren't there, and there was a solid Republican front in the US Senate.

No thanks, I'll stay home before I vote for a RINO. We know now they're out to destroy conservatives, except during election season.

I agree, unfortunately, many right here on FR are to blame for getting Obama reelected because “there is no difference between Obama and Romney”.

Stop blaming people that didn’t vote... it is their right to vote or not vote their conscience. Blame those that gamed the system and through corruption and graft and manipulated the primary system to give us a thinner version of ted kennedy to vote for. I voted for that pos romney but I will never again vote for anyone other than a conservative.

you’re delusional if you think Romney would have actually repealed obamacare.

Note how outspoken he’s been in support of Ted Cruz and the house conservative wing.

NOT!

Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire: The strategy was not smart from the beginning…it’s demonstrable on its face because the government was shut down and the health care exchanges were open.”

It is NEVER bad strategy to stand for principle. It is NEVER bad strategy to stand for integrity. It is NEVER bad strategy to stand for TRUTH. It is NEVER bad strategy to stand for the people.

It is bad strategy to stand for nothing in particular, as do the Establishment Republicans. They are history.

Dear God, what did Arizona do to deserve two reprobate senators. It was bad enough we were stuck with McCain and now we have the very appropriately named Flake.

Yup. All those “Conservatives” that sat home in a snit over Romney are going to purge the party. Get back to me when that happens - I won’t be holding my breath.

see ya, I am going hunting this morning.

As for McCain, Ayotte, Flake et. al -

They have no idea on 'gracious' nor 'winner', and absolutely not one iota about

"Pyrrhic victory"

Rinos need to be booted out of state side election races. Guys like chris Christy are a mortal threat and woukd require voting Democrat state side.

Republicans from blue states are a complete joke.
