You like to have no responsibility in any of this with no neg reps allowed. You think you can run people off the boards by inciting them to make stupid bets? Right now, we have a lot of omerta oaths going on among DNC strongholds to coerce others into voting Democrat, and no way to stop it. I think the deal should be if you cause someone to get run off this board on principle, you should also give up your membership in advance, Mr. Wolf in sheeps' cloth.The TEA Party has the RINOs in their crosshairs:
Bad News for Lamar: Tea Partiers Vow to Stand United | Pith in the Wind
The tea party settled one question this afternoon at a meeting to audition candidates to challenge Sen. Lamar Alexander in next years GOP primary. Both Joe Carr and Kevin Kookogey promised they'll drop out of the picture if tea partiers are rallying behind the other guy.
Carr, a three-term state representative from Murfreesboro, took the pledge in his opening statement to the crowd of roughly 300 at the Sheraton Music City Hotel. It was the first of five meetings to vet potential challengers to Alexander and to conduct secret straw polls. At the end of September, tea partiers will add up the votes and decide which candidate to back. Carr said if its not him, hes out.
Were all here for one reason and one reason only, and thats to beat Lamar Alexander for the United States Senate. Before I go any further, Im going to tell you that this process is so important that weve got to unite around one candidate. However this process works out, I pledge to you that I will support that candidate because its that important. We as principled constitutional conservatives can no longer allow ourselves to be divided. We need one candidate who can run against Lamar who can win this election and carry the banner of constitutional conservatism to the United States Senate.
You gotta love it when Republicans eat their own then run candidates that have no chance at winning.
BTW....I might take some bets already that the GOP loses the next POTUS election regardless of who runs on either side. If I do are there any takers?
Thats the problem you have. Without him and me and all the rest that are like us you are not moving forward at all. Instead, you will continue to lose election after election and quite frankly very few of us give a damn. Change or watch the GOP die.
You're making two mistakes here, if you don't mind the constructive criticism. First, you're assuming Jake wants the GOP to move forward. Second, you're assuming he wants anything at all - other than to derail threads which discuss/promote a libertarian influence in government with senseless trolling.
The great mistake all of you on the far right, particularly the trolls, is that you are going to have much say about anything in the GOP after the primaries next year.
You are the symbolic coffin watch of the GOP, unaware the party has removed itself from your box.
Either you change with us, or you get left behind to do whatever you want.
Naw, I am well aware this is pointless nor do I really care. I debate with the trolls sometimes to highlight the points for the rest of the board. They are related to the topic at hand and I think that it is quite relevant as many here seem to think that we are irrelevant but then bitch because we cause them to lose elections.
The reality is clear, the GOP can no longer afford to alienate the very people that they are supposed to represent.
I agree.. We need to root them out and assign them to the back bencher democrats they are so compelled to emulate

I don't really care much about the fortunes of the Republican party. If they continue to dismiss liberty in favor of big government authoritarianism, then it is my hope they fall. If Rand Paul and/or the Tea Party can push them to walk the walk when it comes to limited government and sane foreign policy, it could be a very good thing.

Jake the fake idea of a moderate Republican obviously is a democrat considering I have yet to read Jake the fake post one remark against Democrats.

jake is no Republican ..He is left left so far left he is a progressive, which is cute name for Socialist- Communist...He should join the Democrat party or go Independent...I'm going to Independent when I get my new voters registration
This is a perfect example of how the TPM undermines the viability of the GOP to the rest of the electorate.
I would prefer a new party from scratch and had even hoped for 2 at one point when OWS and the Tea Party were strong but I think I am more resigned to waiting for reform now. It appears that the sheep cannot break from the duopoly that entraps them all so they can assure that they win. You know, I never got my Bush prize when he won and certainly am lacking my Obama prize so I am wondering what I am supposed to be winning?
Sure, we do, Kaz. You are a RINO and as such you are quite different from the far left liberals, as well as a distorted image of real conservatives and moderates in the GOP.
How can I be a RINO when I'm not a RIN?
You are a 'reactionary'!!!!!
Tea Party wins, Republican Moderate loses
Yeah that a tough one to figure out
And the RNC finally realized the LMSM has no business directing our primary
How will Jake campaign against Scott Walker or Dr. Ben Carson as the GOP Candidate?
Fact: the TPM win in 2010 quickly dusted away
Fact: the TPM contributed directly to BHO's victory, the Senates' increase in Dem seats, and the House's decrease in GOP seats
Conclusion: the TPM hurts the mainstream GOP
Action: starve the group and its candidates of $$$ and media next year in the primaries
Those like Steph are being minimalized and those like Geaux and Yurt ignored in terms of any input.

What a bunch of horseshit. Obama won because he was the encumbant, because he is black and because the MSM and the DNC were able to smear Romney, and his wife BTW. There should have been many more democrats riding his coat tail and there was not. Fail.
Yet me ask you Jake, did you vote for Romney, no Republican gets much further left then him? He has to be what you would describe as a moderate....
Dems hold the mayor office of every city with a pop of 100K or more in Tenn. Charge on teapartiers ... "no compromise." It worked so well in 1861.

You guys are preoccupied with how this will help/hurt the Republican party. But most of us pushing for change don't give a shit. We'll vote for any candidate, for just about any party, who stands up credibly for the principles we believe in. Likewise we're not voting for establishment tools, regardless of which team they play for.
