Moderate Republicans team up with labor unions to defeat the tea party in 2014
A Republican super PAC committed to defeating the tea party in 2014 congressional primaries is mostly funded by labor unions.
The super PAC Defending Main Street, formed by moderate Republican and former congressman Steve LaTourette, has committed itself to destroying tea party challenges to establishment GOP candidates in the 2014 midterm elections. “Hopefully we’ll go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them,” LaTourette said. View Quote You know the GOP fubar'ed when they are more worried about the Tea Party than the Democrats, so worried that start holding labor unions hands for support. |

When I lived back East, I heard a very simple truth:
The Yankee Republican party was just a place where Democrats who didn't want to wait to run for office went. |
|
Is there a way to kick people out of the Party? Ohioans need to get on it.

Congrats. You compromise your principles to defeat your last clear constituents. Deomcrats win and you stand around looking like the losers and assholes you are. GOP is a walking broken promise.

Unions and the GOP holding hands??
Am I in the Twilight Zone??? |
|

Wishful thinking. They will never be able to stop an idea whose time has come.

I never realized what a huge divide had been created in the Republican party till I started reading the posts of my lobbyist friend in DC. He spends more time criticizing the tea party then he does democrats. It is pathetic how out of touch those assholes get when they go to DC.

The GOP establishment can try as they might to defeat the "Tea Party" but they will ultimately fail. The RINOs will be purged from the party, the only question is whether they will be purged while the Republican party still exists, or after it ceases to exist. Either way, the RINOs are on the way out. And they know it.

The GOP needs to die.
I say this as a life long Republican. The day you start to fear and fight against your base, is the day the day you start to DIE. |

Start right now by removing Boehner as Speaker. The primary his butt so he and most other moderates are gone. |

Who's the biggest threat to the GOP ?
The Dems??...phffft , no. Answer: Tea Party candidates. The GOP would sell their grandmother to a Japanese grannie fetish porn ring if it would help get rid of TP candidates. |

LaTourette's syndrome.
GOP got corrupted by it. Never mind infiltration. Just kill the party. |

I don't know if I'm slow and just now discovering it, or if this place has actually changed, but it seems like the level of retard in GD has reached epic levels. I honestly can't tell the good guys from the bad guys here anymore. It's pretty simple--we are infested with lefties. They mostly claim to be "libertarians" (not to be confused with real/sincere actual libertarians), some just post lefty crap, but then like to talk about how "our party" has gone to shit, etc. I guess this means we've hit the big time when the Dems feel the need to infiltrate and divide us. Obviously only the weak minded idiots fall for it, but they keep trying. One really obvious one (above) says he will never give another cent to the GOP. If you've been paying attention it's a real safe bet he's never given a dime to them. |

National Journal Article on this idiot from October of 2013
Along with LaTourette's group, another player in the battle for control of the Republican Party will be the Conservative Victory Project, an arm of the Crossroads super PAC founded by Republican strategist Karl Rove. The group plans to vet GOP primary candidates with the goal of sending the most viable conservative to the general election. View Quote Perhaps an example of keeping your friends close and enemies closer? |

We had a thread last week saying Rove's group has seen a 98% drop in contributions since he went left. I'll try to find it. BRB. Edit: Only took a few seconds--here it is. |

And the Republicans continue to tear down the party. Good times. Can't wait for AWB 2: Donkeylectric Boogaloo and single payer.

How exactly do you build a base when you hate everyone. Good luck with that. The GOP is a joke.

To what end?
The Tea Party is made up largely of disenfranchised conservatives along with independents and libertarians. It is a great way to create a third party and ensure the GOP is irrelevant for ever. |

Go ahead RINO ASSHOLES!!!
This will be your LAST HURRAH! Either you pull it off.......or the Republican Party becomes a dinosaur! You are making a wager that you CANNOT back up! |

Reagan actively campaigned for the Union vote in his 1980 run...
Romney was castigated by ~some so-called "conservatives" and he spent his entire professional life trying to destroy Unions... |

I send money to both the GOP and Tea Party candidates, either is better than any government loving, tax raising, anti-gun, anti-military Demokrats. View Quote First choice... Tea Party. Keep in mind, Big-government, big-taxes Santorum had ~some "Tea Party" support early in the 2012 run-up. Big-government, more-rules, more-regulation so-called "social conservatives" call themselves "tea party" some times. Sharon Angle called herself "Tea Party" in her wholesale defeat by vulnerable Harry Reid. There wasnt any aspect of her campaign that was "conservative." Her campaign slogan could have very-well been, "I am the biggest retard on the ticket, vote for me." She wasnt known as a conservative in Nevada, she wanted bigger-government and increasing rules for consenting adults, and more government to enforce the rules. She called for more government, more taxes, and more regulation. She criticized Reagan, she wasnt the "Establishent" because she was considered an illiterate big-government, imbecile by anyone who knew her in Nevada. Conservatives considered her a liability, Democrats thought she was retarded. So when she ran, with no support, she called herself the "tea party" candidate... Against solid *real* outside-the-establishment conservatives who polled better than Reid, and resonated with Nevada voters..." She got big-government religious folks to call her the "tea party" candidate (even though her record was far, far from "taxed enough already") and she won. Then she got gutted when actual fiscal conservatives wouldn't endorse her big-government platform, and she began opening her mouth in public. If Republicans had left her in a padded room, and denied her any public appearances, they might have beat Reid. He was that vulnerable... None of the Nevada newspapers would endorse him (until after Angle was the alternative)... The "tea party" (wrongly applied) was the best thing that could happen for Harry Reid... And big-government rape-abortion "tea party" Buck vs. Bennett here in Colorado meant a big win for liberal Democrat Bennett. Buck wasnt "taxed enough already" tea-party... He was "no abortion for rape victims, big-government, big-taxes, and big-rules." And Bennett coasted to a solid win for liberal Democrats... And Buck called his big-rules, big-taxes, big-government platform "tea party" up to the day of his loss. Same with Akin, Moudock, and Odonnell. Huge wins for democrats in key vulnerable senate races... And they all called themselves "tea party" candidates...!?!? Yeah, someone running under the label "tea party" may not necessarily be an asset to our side... That is the truth learned from Buck, Angle, Odonnell, Akin, etc. They may very-well be trying to fight to lose to send a message for their pet big-government big-taxes cause... From making abortion about rape to more rules for consenting adults... Some so-called "tea party" candidates are anything but, and they sometimes try to lose to send a message for their pet expand-government-reach issue... |
