"Conservatives" are "killing" each other, a little or a lot at a time, while not feeling a thing ergo "Suicide Is Painless". It was a brain working a bit at a time.

Gotcha. it is true. Republicans quit being fiscally conservative and we hold them to their toes. Democrats just tool along and like the radical progressiveness. Obama and the dems are currently pathetic so a republican schism is magic to their ears. Only thing is, if Hillary is unopposed they may not win and their primary fighting would be just as ugly. Progressives Vv. Moderates. Do they have any moderates remaining?

No they aren't! Internal debate is quite strengthening actually!

Some of these RINO republicans have enough money and backing to stay in the Senate & Congress until they die.
It amazes me how Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsey Graham to name a few keep getting elected every time. They are put in office by republicans with big wallets.
It cost millions to run for office in this day and time and if you don't have the millions, you lose, regardless of who you are.

I have friends in Arizona who tell me that it's Democrats who keep John McCain in office and I believe them!

It's true........... voter-wise. Money-wise it is also true thanks to his wife's business connections here, the rest comes from K-Street. Unfortunately K-Street keeps these has-beens in office.

John McCain is shameless when it comes to getting media attention and praise from the democrats. It's past time for him to retire, along with at least a hundred of them.

I'm just appalled at how much money is spent trying to win a seat in Washington, or even at the state level.

If the GOP wins in November and McCain gets his place back heading this and other committees he will run again..... mark my words. The man is power hungry.

And to win Reagan was supported by democrats as well, and so was Eisenhower.

I think people should go back and study the wisdom of Eisenhower and Reagan.

I agree and few people realize Reagan was a former democrat and bipartisan. He got the union vote!

I think the divisive nature of politics today would make pulling a Reagan quite difficult.

Now we're going to the "so and so isn't a true conservative" attacks. I've seen this before on a certain site. Are ping lists next?

1) Gazoo is NOT a moderator here and as such has as much right to an opinion as you....

2) IF she WAS a moderator here she would still have a right to her opinion when posting as herself and not as MOD1 of MOD2.

Nothing about Gazoo's complete inappropriate personal attack on truth-seeker? Instead, you basically attack truth-seeker, when he was call a "shit-stirring troll" by a fellow poster. Ridiculous.

Carling · « **Reply #65 on:** February 20, 2014, 02:41:00 am »

This entire thread turns into 4 or 5 posters bashing truth-seeker in a roundy-round of insecurity.

Pretty soon, this site will be 10 or so posters who all think the same thing, until they then turn on each other.

Sarah Palin endorsed and campaigned for McCain in the GOP primary. Don't let facts interrupt your opinion.

I handled Gazoo's post..I deleted it as soon as I saw a post report...the only reason you see it now is ts himself chose to copy and paste it on the thread before it disappeared.

One has to have a very thick skin around here if one is not going to suck down the Tea Party kool-aid.

This is going to be a watershed year. When the vast majority of incumbents defeat TP primary opponents--as I think they will--the supposed power of FreedomWorks and Senate Conservatives Fund will be broken.

I am just curious about something... What is it that makes you so hate the Tea Party? I don't understand at all
