That sums my point up exactly. Suicidal!

I’d like to see a change in Boehner. If he stands firm with no wavering, he’d actually get a credit from me.

[Lazamataz]

should also add that so long as Boehner stands firm, we should support him. Why get pissed off if he hasn’t yet caved? He might, but maybe not. What’s more likely to help Boehner make the right decision, a bunch of people condemning him and saying they will never, ever vote Republican again, or people cheering him on whenever he does the right thing?

I'm with you.

I think it’s pretty obvious there is significant disagreement within the Republican Party. It may all be a trick, of course, but I think it’s far more likely that there are ongoing battles between moderates and conservatives. Our role should be to steadily increase the number of conservatives and put pressure on the moderates.

I’m not claiming there aren’t pro-amnesty folks within the Republican Party. We know there are. If those folks thought they could get away with it, they could simply join with Democrats right now to create a voting majority. They’ve done it before. The fact that they haven’t implies either a carefully crafted conspiracy against the party base or actual disagreement. The latter is more likely in my opinion.

A Tea Partier who refrains from voting for a Republican candidate who shares few if any of his beliefs can no more be accused of holding out for an ideal candidate than can someone who refuses to marry a person with whom he has little to anything in common be accused of holding out for an ideal spouse.

Voting for a Progressive Republican is no different than voting for any other tyrant.

If Boehner were really going to stand firm he would have all the gop house members nodding in agreement with him. If they are not, that means he’ll cave when the time is right. All this sudden division within gop Congress is such bull. There’s no division. Only the ones playing the good guys and those playing the bad guys. There’s no hope in Congress outside of Ted Cruz and mike Lee and the rest of a handful more.

Mitch still does not realize he has the majority and how to properly use it.

Mitch knows exactly what he is doing, he told us before the last election what he would do, all we had to do was listen.

At the same time I believe that an understanding needs to be made that a transfer to a third party would leave Conservatives powerless for at least 2 years.

We have the Majority in Both Houses are you feeling like you have more power now? Did Mitch flex his Majority Muscles today?

Thanks.

If I know someone isn’t ever going to vote for me again no matter what I do, then why care what that person thinks?

It’s like a neighborhood ball game. If a kid walks away in a huff, the game goes on. The exception, of course, is the kid with the ball. So long as there’s a ball, the rest keep playing. The disgruntled kid? He loses his ability to shape the game.
