It should have been Bush´s goal to break the Democrat party. We could have done this, but we played nice and we got screwed.

I think we need to recognize who we are dealing with this time.

So, more compromise is the solution here? Sorry..that is what got us here in the first place. Just possibly the author is correct. If so the solution may be to let it go to hell and try to start over, because more compromise is leading us further down the rat hole

They hate us. Nothing short of our demise will do. There is no compromise for that, is there?

All the plans of mice and men... IMO he is trying to drown the Republican Party by pushing it under water like a beach ball. It will spring up only harder. Let us see.

That´s not his goal, that´s a stepping stone to his real goal. The Republicans are (sometimes) in the way of the destruction of the Constitution and full totalitarianism in the US.

Good news for him, though, is that, although it´s harder than with Democrats, it appears that Republicans in office can be bought and/or intimidated.

Despotism 101.
Define the opposition and destroy it.
And it cuts both ways.

#1 - you can´t hang that just on Bush 43. It´s always been that way.

BO has absolutely no desire to accept anything other than his own views. Compromise means that everyone else capitulates to his wonderfulness. He is narrow minded and and egoist.

The only amazing thing here is that he preaches compromise and respect but provides absolutely none of it himself. We were told he would be an excellent uniter of the Country but he is singularly unqualified to do anything like that. His whole presidency has been an exercise of bullying, unilateral power. When a Republican took the slightest step in the direction of presidential control, the MSM howled about the end of the world. But they cheer BO on. It´s pathetic.

And the reality is, if Conservatives got political power they would be undoing the progressives actions and as much of their party as they could because the two parties have become polar opposites and cannot function together. You cannot go left and right at the same time.

Most of us have seen this for some time. I used to think it was pure evil, now I´m not so sure. I don´t know whether the R party is worth saving.

The question is what will arise to take its place. There will ALWAYS be an opposition to tyranny, the only question is what it will look like and what it will be called.

The Republicans need to start thinking like generals engaged in a war. Actually, they need to think like Navy SEALS. It´s amazing they haven´t been able to figure out how to deal with this despot. Obama is not going to let up one iota. He´s ruthless and heartless and drunk on his own power. This is why there needs to be a fearless strategy to deal with him.

Looks like he´s work is complete with Boehner. Never saw such a loser in my entire life.

need someone like Alan West...to deal with the idiots in D.C.

I´ll say it again and again. The only thing that is going to stop the Dims from destroying this country and impose communism on us is another revolution. And when that happens (I believe it will, just don´t know when) there will have to be made some corrections to the Constitution to insure the same thing NEVER happens again. Start with term limits on all members of Congress. Throw out the entire tax code and replace it with a simple system in which EVERYONE pays something. And make the selection of Senators back to what was originally intended. There are more changes that need to be made, but the original document is a good starting place. And we don´t need to change the original intent of the Constitution, just some of the ways we get there.

The Moderate GOP is doing it´s best to merge the GOP with the Dems. BHO can just sit back and smile.

I have always envied the Democrat´s ability to keep their eye focused on the ball. For example, Chuck Schummer finally got into line to support Chuck Hagel.

If only Obama would devote as much energy to destroying our true enemies as he does the Republicans.

As a conservative, I can tell you that after all the years I have watched the republican party edge closer and closer to the dems, both in principle AND in the sleaze factor, it is NOT worth saving, if you are truly conservative.

Saving it would mean that conservatives would need to bite their tongues, get in line and follow the RINO rule that has been firmly established, and then, from within, turn it back around.

It ain´t gonna happen folks. The conservatives are either long gone, or are reaching their "fed up" point as each day, and each blunder goes by. The GOP Is poisoned lethally.
