I certainly hope we can get all of this internecine "squabbling" over with soon, because the last thing we need in 2014 is a circular firing squad.

I'll be more than happy to refrain from any negativity toward Ted Cruz if the Tea Partiers do the same toward incumbents like Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn, two solid reliable conservatives.

We need to focus on DEMOCRATS, not trying to take down Republicans.

The 'problem' I have with declaring allegiance to McConnell and Cornyn is that it sends the wrong message to the voters.

They have no stage presence.  No personality.  No charm.  BLAH!

We need people that can artfully attack and highlight the failures and lies of this Administration and MSM.

Somebody that knows how to play the media...because you'll never have a bully pulpit as big as the White House.

For example....Who'd you rather listen to complain about the gridlock being the Senate...the fact we've put bill after bill up there where it sits.

Christie?   Or McConnell?  I recall when the MSM was all abuzz about Christie taking on the teacher's union or public sector unions.

it made him the star is he is today.

No need to swear fealty to them; just don't attack them quite so vigorously.

I have no intention of stopping attacks against McCain, Graham, McConnell, Boehner or Lamar Alexander.  I hope they all lose their next elections.

McConnell and Cornyn have solid conservative RECORDS.  They may not be the most articulate people in the world (though Mitch does a damned good job, in my opinion), but they're proven.

Christie's record is spotty.  He talks a good game, yet sucks up to Obama at a critical time in the 2012 election.

I'm not sold on Chris Christie yet.  Not at all.

They won't.  Promise you won't pout.

If any or all of those win their primaries (I personally will do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen) I will vote for those I can vote for in the general. Any of them are better than a democrat but not by much!

I'm not either....I was referring to his style...thinking on his feet during press conferences...commanding our attention.  As if he was going to use a four-letter word or two.

Ronald Reagan could do it in a quip and make even the opposition smile.

The guys have great conservative voting records, but they're not alpha males.  Time for the current leadership to resign in both Houses.

We're at war.   This isn't your normal mid-term and prez election we're getting.  The Constitution is hanging by a thread.
