The GOP needs to listen to Limbaugh, Lavin and Hannity and nominate real conservatives rather than RINO squishes like Romney.

Values change every minute, principles are set in stone.

Politicians who cling to values are blown away when the sour wind comes, people with a solid foundation of principles don’t have that wind sock issue.

A real contribution would be an explanation of how this unfolding nightmare, and the last few years, are in fact just a swing of the pendulum, just a phase, and how things will return to some semblance of sanity and respectability in the future, with the human beings currently inhabiting the US.

Exactly! Well put!

A pendulum will not move unless a force is applied to it.

Assuming York has this right, and further that it represents the thinking of the GOP leadership – I await enlightenment from the usual suspects (even those without my extensive Capitol Hill experience) to explain how the 12-dimensional chess being played makes any sense and how the GOP is, actually, any better than the most vitriolic RINO-haters here allege.

Memory is fuzzy … but wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that the pathetic collapse on the “cliff” was “put in context” by explaining how the GOP would have so much more leverage on the debt ceiling? Oh yes, yes it was.

The Dems, the “press”, and most of America’s institutions have become dark disastrous parodies of themselves – and now the GOP, with its ever-receding ridge on which to die to do the smallest bit of responsible public business, joins them.

Funny thing about the effects of WWII – the Socialists won! The only way to get back to sanity is to get rid of Democracy – and that can only be achieved by a very targeted war.

If we do not get rid of the RINO’s time will march on with the commie Democrats draining the U.S. dry with massive over spending and nutty regulations of CO2 and other mad hatter scams and the U.S. will fail.

Then out of that horible mess sane people will rise up and never will this weakness be allowed to destroy so much,, but the price all will pay world wide will pale to the evil of WWII.

Great danger lies with allowing this weakness to fester and spoil the whole of the body of the U.S.A. and then the whole world.

How about the truth about who Obama is and what he’s doing?

How about fighting tooth and nail to preserve the rule of law via the Constitution?

….of wait…We are talking about the GOP. Silly me.

Just do it. Keep it simple.

Voting the RINOs out can only be achieved if there are conservative replacements waiting in the wings – and they are as rare as hen’s teeth.

“Addicted to weakness”

Force the RINO’s to go cold turkey to fearless or get the f’ out of the way.

Walk tall and smash mouth these commie blood sucking vimpire Democrats.
