We don’t need a third party.

We need a second party.

Party schmarty, what we need is an all out revolt.

Should “opinion” be called “news”?

The more people that read it the better. but rules, are rules I guess.

I listened to Rush today ask over and over...why is the GOP leadership doing this?

He knows. He has to know-- this is about the Zuckerbergs BUYING Boehner and Ryan and Cantor. And McCain and Graham, of course.

So why wouldn't Rush say so?

Maybe FR should change the header to include important opinion pieces.

Suggestion: maybe FR should change the header (”Front Page News”) to something that would include important opinion pieces.

Yeah. They don’t seem to understand that the wheels of karma move slowly, but grind exceedingly fine. Most criminals have that sort of “live for the moment” kind of ethic.

Yep. We’re definitely on the road. It doesn’t need to be that way, but changing how conservatives relate to politics and the state is very, very difficult.

The only person who makes slavery possible is the slave.

As I see it, the socialists already have control of government and are doing whatever they want regardless of the constitution or the law. So the sooner options 3 starts the sooner something might actually change.

I believe that Obama and NSA and DOJ have things on some Republicans and that is why they push voting for what Dems want. Look at Boehner, all talk, tough out of the gate, then comes around to Dems and has a let’s be friends moment.

I say, get some major dollars together and get some investigators to get rid of the at risk Gop-ers. Clean house now before elections.

Get out pamphlets about Margaret Sanger and Plan Parenthood and the real reason it was started..

I am to the point I want Putin for President. He told the terrorists if they bomb the Olympics we will kill your family members.

I want some tough talking mean what I say GOP candidates that can answer questions about rape, abortion, without giving ammo to the enemies. I want a Candidate that will eat them for breakfast and ask for seconds.

Also, there’s this database, you see, and

I still think that this is a bigger factor than we give it credit for. Very few (if any) pols that reach national office are squeaky clean - and Ohomo has the goods on all of them.

Correct decision, Ad Mod.

I rarely get past the Front Page list.

This an exceptional essay.

And I have read all 90 Comments, which is another thing I rarely do.

“...When the GOP started marginalizing the Tea Party that was the last straw for me. ..”

You ain’t alone.

No matter who the GOP-e pushes on us, I’m writing in Ted Cruz.

That’s the ONE weapon we have: our absolute REFUSAL to vote for their RINO of choice.

Doesn’t even need to be a third party;

WRITE IN your candidate.

Refuse to accept their RINO du jour and write in the Tea Party candidate.

I’m going to write in Ted Cruz. If he’s not “acceptable” to the GOPe, too bad.

Why is it that SOME “conservatives” are always more interested in attacking the GOP, but NEVER the Dems?!

Deliberately or as a result of possibly naivite, they are enablers of Obama and the communist Dems.

If they ever heard what I’d like to tell them their ears would fall off and turn to cinders.

Doesn't that presuppose that they have some conscience?

She misses the point: this is all by design. Once you cast aside the idea that there are two major political parties and accept that fact that there is but one uniparty with two cooperating factions, then it’s a lot easier to see the underlying logic.

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY GOVERNMENT.
