I would like to thank Bill Kristol and the other weenies for helping to make it easier for conservatives to know which candidates to primary next year.

Well then I guess we don´t need to refer to them as RINOs anymore do we ?

I held out for a long time in re-registering my voter affiliation. I know I will never vote for a dem. But after the last two potus elections and the declaration of the republicans after the last election that they will now be operating even more like the dems, I have left the republican party. Holding your nose to vote and elect people who behave the same way that the people you are voting against, is not my idea of a good plan.

FTA: “The goal is to try and fill the void that is the middle,” LaTourette, who resigned from Congress this year, said. “The American political system is like a doughnut: You’ve got sides, but you don’t have anything in the middle, and it would be my goal to work with Republicans and Democrats who want to find the path forward to getting things done and compromise.”

Guess that makes LaTourette a "doughnut-hole", huh?

The way for "centrist establishment Republicans" to "re-assert themselves" is to rally around a single squishy guy in the primaries, while the Party´s conservative majority split their votes among a half-dozen candidates to give the squish a string of plurality victories. In other words, keep on doing what they always do.

and of course, encourage conservatives who still don´t get it to drop out entirely from the process of nominating one of the only 2 people with a realistic shot at the White House

Then there are those who run as a right to moderate and after they are elected they vote hard left with an occasional moderate right vote just to keep their low information moderate right constituents off balance. Many are waking up to that fact now with Obama. Watch how fast they all run back to the middle at election time.

Bill Kristol is the absolute poster child for what is wrong with the GOP.

Christie´s grandstanding isa cover up for his failures.

Did he communicate with NJ Transit prior to the storm to be sure they followed the report recommendations for placing railcars out of flood zones?

Did he communicate with the electric utilities after last year´s 8 day power outage to make sure that new procedures were in place?

Mostly a lot of bloviating but he was the least prepared to deal with the storm.

The moderates have allowed the center to be pushed so far to the left Stalin could be considered left of center. Moderates are natural collaborators and will ALWAYS go along to get along. We need someone that will speak the truth in very rough terms such as:
"Obama is just a flop eared, effeminate, bucket of hog snot,along with his wide load wife."

Oh no, Mr Tourette´s- we know exactly what´s in the middle of the political donut-its A hole

The GOP is circling the drain if idiots like this guy have any leadership role in it.

A symptom of the problem: RINOS leadership fails, conservative blamed.

Might as well, they aren´t true republicans anyway.
