if that were to happen say goodbye to the Constitutional American republic
*********
GOP already shares significant responsibility for the erosion of our liberties, the catastophic rise of our national debt, and the massive expansion of government. Look hard at the GOP over the past couple of decades. I respectfully submit that it is not what you think it is.
The GOP woulnd’t have a majority in the House if not for the Tea Party. Yet the GOP marginalizes the TP at every opportunity and sees it as the threat instead of the Democrats who are destroying the country.
We need more than one party but the GOP is not representing the views of conservatives. It is not a party that stands for anything or plays to win.
I always started laughing at them...telling the gig is up...I will never in a trillion years give them another thin dime until they stop targeting Tea Party candidates...
I would ask them how can they target their own party...acting like liberals

FUGOP.
All efforts need to be focused at the state level. The GOP is largely antagonistic to constitutional limited government at the Federal level.
The Democrats have pushed the envelope insofar as punishing the competitive private sector (the productive classes, small and medium businesses). The GOP-e has done little aside form lip service to support the free market economy. Both parties are dominated by large multi-national corporate interests which oppose free market start up competition.
We need to take a stand against the Federal government now while we still possess the resources and a political solution is still possible.
The passion lies with the tea party supporters. Establishment GOP members are defined in part by the lack of enthusiasm for anything — lukewarm across the board. Invisible in all matters. Possibly the most ridiculous strategy in political history. The establishment GOP: We are going to be concerned on the beaches, disagree on the ground, support the enemy wherever there is media pressure. Let it be known by nobody (because nobody will notice us) that our hearts and minds are resolutely bland!
The R party is dangerous to freedom and is in a battle with its former base. How senseless of the author of this piece to suggest the R party thinks it can avoid losses in 2014 by weakening its support. Just how far does the establishment GOP think those few large campaign donations will go when it takes votes to win. The tea party supporters would be wise to knock on those donors doors and start building relationships that will lead to long-term wins—and the removal of the perpetually failing establishment GOP’ers.
Stop that nonsense, and we start winning.
GOP is done. Stick a fork in it.
Pull it out and reinsert .
Repeat ad infinitum.
Less likely everyday.
Karl Denninger's math says differently.
I am a Tea Party proponent but submit we need everyone or we’ll lose everything. See Post #12.
The GOPe is bought and paid for. They have promises to keep and pork to deliver and are scared sh**less they will not be able to..............
The scum is rising to the top so one and all can see whose who.
Karl Denninger is underestimating the fraud.
Tea Partiers are consistent. We trash both Democrats and RINOs. RINOs are inconsistent. They will trash Tea Partiers but they don't do the same with the Democrats.
Exactly WHAT is the GOP’s anti-Tea Party platform?
- More Compromise with Progressive Principles
- More Cross Aisle Fraternizing
- We support Obama
.??
Tax, Borrow and Spend.
Beat McConnell with a ‘rat in the General, if necessary.

I understand where you’re coming from. However, the reality is that the Tea Party just wants a seat at the table but the GOP doesn’t even want them in the room. The GOP is kind of like a syndicate. It is a centrally controlled organization that does not welcome outside influences, even if they are positive or beneficial.
In recent decades the GOP has largely stood idly by and/or been an enabler for big government policies, spending and socialism. It is going in the same direction as the Democrats albeit at a slower pace. That’s really the only difference between the two parties.
The Tea Party is our only hope IMO.
