He has always been...shall we say...less than reliable
I hear you. I’m a life-long Republican. Aside from my Buchanan vote in 2000 (yeah, I know), I have always voted Republican. Straight down the ticket, even for losers like Charlie Crist. (Down here in Florida we’re not just the cocaine capital of the world, we grow RINOs like nobody’s business.)
But I’m sick and tired of voting for people like King who actively oppose damn near everything I believe in. 2012 was straw that broke the camel’s back. It took everything I had not to throw up as I pulled the lever for Mitt Trotsky. I swore on that day NEVER to be put in that position EVER again.
If Obamacareless worms its way into society, this little chat will be for naught. It won’t matter one iota if you vote -R or -D. America will be dead and buried and a rotting, European-style socialist state will take its place.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that and the House remains firm in its convictions. I’m not holding my breath or anything, but let’s hope for the best.
Yep. Ne complaints here.
That’s the spirit!
Great pic of Bubble Boy King Rino.
Third party is definitely not suicide.
These people ran for president on 3rd party tickets:
Ross Perot
Ron Paul
Pat Buchanan
Ralph Nader
Gary Johnson
First of all that was a differnt time and different era. The nation was in a much different situation than it is now, the republican party was in a much different position than it is now.
We have RINOs calling conservatives unwelcomed extremists who hi-jacked the pary today.
Secondly, not one of those candidates on your list come close to a Tea Party candidate.
Third, I wasn’t really advocating a 3rd party to run in the presidential election, mostly because I assume Ted Cruz or perhaps Sara Palin may decide to run in 2016. I was referring to Senate and Congressional races. Now if we have another Mitt Romney as the nominee I would hope someone like Ted Cruz would run as a Tea Party candidate.
Sometimes just the threat to switch parties from a group of conservatives already holding seats in the House and Senate would be enough to get the RINOs in line. It worked for Joe Lieberman. The dems were scared to death he would change to independent if he didn’t get what he wanted. I believe they were something like 1 seat from being the minority in the Senate at the time.
There are plenty of options our elected conservative republicans have.
You'd have been better off voting for the dem. A useful idiot like republican King, McCain...etc going on CNN and MSNBC and calling anybody right of Susan Collins extremists is more harmful to our cause than the democrat who had run against him could have done with his own rhetoric.
People in this nation are absolutely fed up. It will be tough on incumbent congress critters in 2014. Can’t wait!
“Ross Perot
Ron Paul
Pat Buchanan
Ralph Nader
Gary Johnson”
What do these people all have in common. None of them won when they ran. That is the fate of third parties. Only worked once (Whigs/Republicans), and that was long, long ago.
What do Ross Perot, Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader, Gary Johnson all have in common? They ran for President, not for Congress which is what I’ve been referring to.
I’ll bet if Sara Palin had run for President against Mitt Romney and Obama she would have had a good chance at winning. Sara Palin is no Gary Johnson.
Peter King should be a character in the TV show “Sons of Anarchy”. Maybe he can be the interface between SAMCRO and the Irish Kings.
Yeah, but if Petey was on the show, it would be called
‘Sons of Moderation’.
Either Rand Paul or Ted Cruz have the verbal skills that Romney, McCain and Santorum never had. I am hoping one of them decides to run in 2016.
I have watched dozens of Rand Paul interviews by hostile TV talking heads, and have not seen the deer in the head lights facial look so far. I can’t imagine either of them not knowing something about a gotcha question such as the Bush Doctrine.
Peter King, just another Collaborator with the Enemy of the Republic, the Democrats.
Thanks for the response - your post is worth a repeat:
“Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is in the news this week for demanding that journalists who publish leaks about national security be arrested and prosecuted. On Fox News just now, he called for Glenn Greenwald specifically to be prosecuted for publishing the documents former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked to The Guardian. Considering his history of supporting the Irish Republican Army and its obscene violence, it’s not exactly surprising that King wants to use guns to silence people. It is somewhat surprising (to me, at least) that anybody takes him seriously in light of his record of support for the IRA, and that bookers continue to put his thuggish mug in front of a camera.”

He really is a ‘piece of work’, as it were.
To be perfectly blunt and honest, is there any difference between RINOs like our least favorite court jester King, John McLame, McLame’s fellow “same-sex senator” (h/t Mark Levin) Lindsey Grahamnesty, or Susan Vodka Collins or other RINO and the Dhimmicrat party hacks?
I can’t see any. Therein lies our problem. Our majority in the House isn’t as big as we think.
Out of normal and healthy curiosity, why wasn’t this investigated by anyone?
I don’t care if there’s a -D or on -R is one someone’s baseball cap. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Freeping from a Smartphone isn’t as easy as it looks.
