	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The GOPe is as much our enemy as any democrat. If you care about liberty.

[JaguarXKE]

Did anyone hear BOR and Bernie G trashing the Tea Party tonight?

[cripplecreek]

The GOP didn’t shut the government down.

The house voted repeatedly to reopen various parts of government and those votes were stopped dead in Hairy Roid’s senate.

[BenLurkin]

Once a real conservative candidate gets nominated, [GOP] party leaders lose interest.

Bears repeating.

[entropy12]

The reason Cuccinelli lost is obvious. Single young women voted 9:1 against him. Only other block to vote against him in larger percentage was African-Americans.

[cripplecreek]

And why is that?

[napscoordinator]

The GOPe is as much our enemy as any democrat. If you care about liberty.

The candidate is 100 percent at fault. If you need others to help you win, you are probably weak to begin with.

[napscoordinator]

Because he wanted to ban oral sex apparently. Why he wanted to do this is beyond me.

[Vaquero]

Like the Whigs that preceded them. The GOP is going through death throes and perhaps like a bandaid it must be yanked quickly to avoid undo pain

[Pilsner]

What % of the vote did Cuccinelli get in the Primary?

[cripplecreek]

In other words like Santorum wanted to ban birth control.

Yeah I know its crap but I’m not going to turn around and play the same stupid game.

[napscoordinator]

Santorum at least won many many states. COOCH could not even win a simple governorship.

[workerbee]

McAuliffe got 90 percent of the black vote,

This says absolutely NOTHING about the actual candidate. The DemONs could run whoever is the head of the Ku Klux Klan, complete with commercials of him raping little black girls while eating watermelon... as long as there's a "D" after his name, he'll get the "black vote."

[cripplecreek]

Now they have a governor who not only supports oral sex but wants technique taught to elementary school children.

Brilliance.

[BenLurkin]

Nope.

[napscoordinator]

I know. It seems that Virginia Democrats may have every area of leadership if they lose the AG too. McDonnell really screwed the pooch with his stupidity.

[princess leah]

Look - we need leaders and ones who will also have the IT factor to win against DEMS like Terry McAwful. I believe that Tea Party candidates and Republican candidates are part of the same team.. We need to stop slamming one another and instead slam the opposition. Once the primaries are done, then so should be the bashing within the party. This HAS to be the standard for both 2014 and 2016 if our nation has ANY hope. This may include doing all for a candidate like Chris Christie...We fault him for all the things we don’t like about him, but if we run Ted Cruz up in 2016 and he doesn’t wind up being our guy, let’s not take our toys home and not vote k>? THIS NATION CANNOT SURVIVE HILLARY CLINTON after the 8 YEARS of BO! WE have to think of how best to pull this Nation from the ABYSS the DEMOCRATS have thrown us into.

Also, on the weekend before the so-called shutdown, the GOP senators were burning the midnight oil on Capitol Hill trying to avert a shutdown.

Harry Reid and the rest of the democrats refused to show up.
Obama refused to negotiate.

I wish Star Parker and others would knock off this “hard-line conservatives shut down the government” meme, which the democrat-controlled media has been lying about for six weeks.

[SunkenCiv]

Wrong again — he lost because of the straw candidate, Robert Sarvis.
