GOP On Suicide Watch

[bronzeage]

Bullshit, they're still there.

Yeah, but you make them sit at the RINO table.

If you get six Republicans in a room the first thing they do is decide which two are not good Republicans enough to be there.

Buchanan: Boehner Will Lose Speakership if He Pushes for Immigration Reform
By Andrew Johnson
January 29, 2014 4:18 PM

Pat Buchanan warns that an imminent Republican debate over immigration will play into the hands of the Democratic party. With the widespread unpopularity of Obamacare, Republicans should instead focus on the embattled health-care law ahead of the 2014 midterm election. By pivoting to the issue of immigration, Republicans are “walking right into the trap.”

“You will have a war inside the Republican party — a Balkan war — this year, which will knock it off its present gain,” he said on Laura Ingraham’s radio show​. Buchanan cautioned John Boehner against the pursuit of immigration reform, saying it would be his “last hurrah” and arguing that it would spell the end of his speakership. Boehner will end up “with a nice job at a trade association” as a reward from immigration-backers if he pushes for reforms, Buchanan said.

Recent reports indicate that House leadership plans to unveil a brief statement of immigration principles at their annual retreat that begins on Wednesday that includes a legal status, though not citizens, for undocumented immigrants.

“It’s probably or almost certainly true that the Chamber of Commerce and the big-business folks want the immigration deal solved,” he added, but called on opponents of an amnesty measure to “rise up and stop it” before the push advances.

Good idea taking advice from Pat.

You better hope so if you ever want a republican to see the inside of the Oval Office again. Oh that's right, Pat Buchanan is advising the party now.

What you are seeing is an internal war for the soul of the Republican Party. On one hand you have the establishment Republicans who are married to big government and Washington DC, as are the Democrats, and on the other you have Republican conservatives who were elected by the right of center majority to take down big government and get it out of the lives of ordinary people.

You see things like Boehner supporting amnesty for illegals, like the Democrats, when a majority of Americans and many of his caucus have always been against such an amnesty. He's in tune with the "state" and those who would put the interests of CEOs, the Chamber of Commerce who want cheap labor, instead of those of his constituents and his country.

Things cant get better till the GOP is purged of RINOs.

Its like FDR said of Wendell Wilkie, WHY IS HE RUNNING AGAINST ME? WE AGREE 100% ON MOST ISSUES!

No, they fled for the Dems decades ago. Who in today's GOP would you seriously characterize as a Rockefeller Republican? Those you characterize as "establishment Republicans" are nothing of the kind.

You can dislike the author, but it's pretty hard to ignore the extensive polling data that now exists on that demographic and what it portends for the Republican Party.

The GOP is always going to be struggling until you reach out to the Latinos.

Haven't you learned by now that that is a losing strategy? It didn't fly in 2012, and it ain't gonna fly in 2014, and you will never live to see the ACA repealed or defunded.

The poll speaks to their lack of political sophistication . . .

Korean immigrants'? Doubtful.

But if you do that the GOP will never again win.

. . . agents provocateurs . . .

Whose agents, then?

 

[KingOrfeo]

Take a look at the Maverick McCain, who spent a lifetime embarrassing Republican Presidents and derailing their agenda. See how in recent days he's finally been outed in Arizona, where he's been rebuked and censured by the state GOP for his liberalism.

And that does not make you feel embarrassed for the Arizona GOP? It should. They're making what amounts to a declaration of their own flaming idiocy.

The article is pretty spot on actually and I hate to agree with either of those tards.

I'm not saying the data points aren't accurate, I meant the conclusions drawn. Basically, the democrats are destroying the country and the republicans could save it if the wised up.
That, and lacing the article with terms like "big government" without defining exactly what that is. But it's a right wing bugaboo, they refuse to admit they are for big government too, just in different ways. So Coulter knows it will push buttons and cause outrage.

I guarantee a GOP victory if they convince blacks theyre serious about jobs, and if they convince Hispanics they wont let wetbacks steal all the decent jobs.

I'd invite Bill Gates and the others to get their asses back to China and figger on paying serious tariffs. Say, trade one Boeing jet for a Conex box of Barbies.

In 2012? Millions of American weren't losing their health care plans in 2012.

BS.
Many companies change health insurance carriers every few years and employees loose the plans they had.

People loosing health care plans, even plans they liked, is absolutely nothing new. Anyone who's lived in the real working world knows that.

That's leftist bullshit. When the GOP stops acting against the interests of Americans, stops caving to the transparent socialist plans of the Democrat Party, goes back to respecting the Constitution, promoting freedom instead of big government, lowering taxes and regulations, getting the government out of every aspect of our lives, there will always be a GOP.

Not as a significant party in Congress, there won't. You do not realize how unpopular are your politics. See here. You're a "Staunch Conservative," and there ain't that many of you, no more than 9% of the population, and the "Main Street Republicans" (11%) would gag at your agenda.
