Yeah we held our noses and voted for these traitors. What a mistake.

Obstructionist? He is obviously referring to conservatives and those of us who believe in the Constitution.

It’s time for a GOP coup.

I AM NOT A RINO.

C’mon Mrs. Palin, I’m waiting for you to start a 3rd party. We sure need it. These WEASELS don’t represent us!

How can there not be a 3rd Party when the movement to kick out conservatives from the GOP grows stronger and stronger with each passing election.

Because there are far too many morons who still parrot the BS of "If you don't vote Republican, you're voting for Obama". Idiots, each one of them. I won't vote for another backstabbing rotten GOP candidate for quite some time. If Cruz runs, I'll vote for him, as long as it ain't a GOP ticket. I'm done getting bent over and screwed by the GOP.

If Mitchy is paying any attention at all, he knows his and Boner's collusion with 0bama is not making him popular out here at all. And, Chester, shut up!

I wonder what Senator Dick Lugar (retired by the people) has to say about that.

Bob Dole was the leader who caved in the 1995 shutdown and destroyed the Republican Revolution of 1994.

Lott serves as a Senior Fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC), where he focuses on issues related to energy, national security, transportation and congressional reforms. Lott is also a co-chair of BPC’s Energy Project.

This is about all you need to know about Trent Lott.

He is a collaborator, and he thinks that collaboration with Democrats is a good idea.

You can either support America, or you can make a deal with the devil. He is willing to meet the devil halfway.

He shouldn’t do that. He should go to Hell.

But Lisa Murkowski, etc. always voting with the democrats, no comeuppance for them whatsoever. Only conservatives are to be treated harshly.

If you are part of the government, the people who want to reduce government are your enemy.

Every single democrat in congress needs to go

About 30% of the Republicans need to go

We now have a Republican majority in the Senate and can afford the luxury of taking down the 30% that need to go.

In 2016 there need to be serious primary challenges .

Send them a message or send them home

quickly “coopt” new GOP senators so they don’t drift over to the obstructionist side of the party.

Translation:
Force them to stay in the capitulation/appeasement side of the party.

Trent Lott was a gutless appeaser just like McConnell is.

And why would any Republican take leadership advice from Tom Daschle? We should let our enemies call the plays?? Stupid question. That is exactly what Republicans do. Party policy.

What? Wait. If Cruz runs, I'll vote for him too regardless of what ticket he runs on. If Cruze ran as a Democrat I'd vote for him..... I think. I'd certainly vote for him if he ran on the Whig Ticket.

You’re basing your opinion on the belief that somehow the ballot box still works. It doesn’t. Reference Mississippi, and McConnell’s war on the tea party.

I said the same thing about Dubya back in 2000, you know, when the R's took the House, Senate AND WHITE HOUSE from 2000-2006 and did NOTHING WITH IT. I've been holding my nose voting for R's for far too long, and the result is ALWAYS the same - after they win, they push us Conservatives and our values out. No, if Cruz runs as a Republican, I won't vote for him.

30% of Republican Senators? Out of the 57 starting in January, I put that number higher.

I just went through a list of them. Admittedly, many I know little about. But I can identify most of the ardent and outspoken conservatives. I can only count about 10 that should stay. Arguably, several that should now be ousted were once supported by the Tea Party movement. But, alas, they caught the GOPE virus and have fallen victim to “Moderatitus Liberalosis”.

It’s odd how the state of Mississippi has produced a crop of anti-conservative, Rino politicians in the past ten to twenty years. Lott and Boss Hog and others have been pushing amnesty for years and seem to oppose conservatives on other issues.

I think a few large corporate interests in the state bought and paid for several of them years ago.

I told anyone I could reach that we needed to toss out McConnell to demonstrate we weren't going to put up with any more of their Sh*t. Everyone said "NOOOOOOOO!!!!! We can't vote for the DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!"

I said McConnell would be as bad or worse because he will put a Republican face on Democrat policies and ideas, but by kicking him out, we would be serving notice that we aren't going to put up with any more of that crap.

I said that if we let him win he would feel vindicated regarding his attack on the Tea Party, and that is exactly what has now happened.

The Senators and Reps work for us, not the Majority Leader, Trent. The top levels of one party are worse than the next.
