Republican Party isn't the enemy

[Gazoo]

Do you have anything to contribute to the discussion beyond ad hominems? 

I just tried to diagram your sentence and it made my head hurt.

You failed to answer who it is you support exactly.

I don't have a dog in this hunt yet.  I could support Rand Paul, but I'd prefer a Scott Walker.

It doesn't bother me when conservatives make money.  YOU were the one who got all bent over "old guys filling their pockets." 

Why does K-Street money suck and Hollywood money is mother's milk?

Those old guys are filling their pockets at our expense.

[[ Republican Party isn't the enemy...]]

Mebbe not.

But if it's not, why does it all to often align itself on a course that's essentially congruent to the one of the "enemy" ??

(By "enemy", I mean the democrats. There's no doubt about that...)

If we don't have it now, when ARE we going to have it?

The fact is, the GOP-e is in the process of marginalizing itself right out of being a national political party that will never win a presidential election again, nor have the ability to influence national policies.

Actually, I don't think anything is going to stop them from doing just that. The TEA party is trying to pull the GOP-e back from that brink, but the "e's" will have nothing of it.

Afterwards, until a replacement party emerges to become the new "second party", there will exist something of a "reign of terror" from the democrats, as you warned about above.

I don't look forward to that, any more than you do.

The difference between us is that I realize that this must occur before a new party arises from the ashes of the GOP-e ...

The RNC/DNC super PAC are both aligned squarely against the Tea Party, and by extension, aligned against the American people or any challenge to their grip on power and access to money.
 
They represent 'the government'. They do not represent the American people. In fact, they seem to have open disdain for 'the American people'.
 
That is why they will not investigate Benghazi, or the IRS, or Fast and Furious, or anything else. Niether side will investigate these obvious scandals because it would damage 'the government'.
 
And the government is them. Both of them.

Yes, to all of that.  Yes.

So are Limbaugh, Beck, Levin, Hannity, Hewitt and Weiner.

Did you really have to bring the weiner in on this?

You never can tell when the Weiner is going to come out!
