GOP and Teaparty Infighting Starts Anew

[ODENTON]

The fighting for control begins. Teaparty, you are a major reason Mitt lost the election.......you may not want to hear it but it is the Teaparty that caused the implosion. Own it, accept it or you are doomed to repeat it.


Richard Viguerie said, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio “should be replaced with leaders more in tune with the conservative base of the Republican Party.” Richard Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com tea party supporter.

"Mr. Viguerie also said that Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie, Neil Newhouse and Stuart Stevens “would never be hired to run or consult on a national campaign again, and no one would give a dime to their ineffective super PACs, such as American Crossroads.”

“Mitt Romney’s loss was the death rattle of the establishment Republican Party,” Mr. Viguerie said. “Far from signaling a rejection of the tea party or grass-roots conservatives, the disaster of 2012 signals the beginning of the battle to take over the Republican Party and the opportunity to establish the party as small government, constitutional conservatism.”

I'd be for an Third Party called the Constitution Party. Yes indeed.

You are just full of yourself. Is this another Dick Morris hope or did you and your little brain think of this yourself.

No surprise here. Someone has to be blamed and it certainly can't be the decreasing popularity of their platform.

It looks like the honeymoon is over. The Country realizes the Tea Party is not what they initialy were meant to be. The leaders of yesteryear have been taken out and the big money guys run this sector of the right wing. The Coke brothers and rove have taken it over and in truth the leaders all along were really far right wingers and extremist. Now they are done and the internal wars are increasing. West was the first real defeat because he was given the Golden Card to spend what he wanted and it back fired. Long live the Moderate Party and hopefully this far right wing religious sector will be gone. We need the true Conservative to balance things but these right wing fanatics are what is wrong with the party of Lincoln.

There is a Constitution Party. Virgil Goode was their candiate. After you listen to good ol' Virgil for a few minutes you start thinking about the Dave Chappelle sketch about the black white supremist.

It couldn't possibly be that Romney didn't have enough balls to campaign as himself. Or that they managed to alienate just about every ethnic and special interest group in the country with some stupid statement or another...sometimes more than once.

It's Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. They made a movie together

IMO, if Romney had campaign as a moderate he would have done much better BUT he followed the extreme in his party and look what it got him.
The extreme made a fool out of Mitt and Mitt made a fool out of Mitt, there is other way to say it.
