Our friend Mark Levin picked up some opposition over at the American Thinker from Richard Baehr, its chief political correspondent.
Here’s Baer’s piece. And Levin’s answer is inserted into the latest version. Here’s a direct link to Levin to make things easier.
Here’s what’s important.
The stirrings in Delaware, Alaska, Kentucky, Florida and Nevada are in reality the first ever so distant sounds of the rumble-in-the-jungle that is 2012. And, if truth be told, the internal GOP battle that will emerge with greater clarity the moment the new House and Senate (presumably one or both in GOP hands) begins its work in January of 2011.
This is an incredibly important conversation for conservatives. And Mark Levin is, as always, at the battle front, scouting the turf countless miles out front from where we are today.
Check it out. This fight has barely begun.

It takes two to tango. The only way the Republican Party can be a team is if each group respects and compromises with the others.
If the liberal Republican senators use their votes like team mates of the conservatives, then conservatives will feel that we are a team and would be more likely to vote for those "moderates".
We can disagree on SOME issues and still remain a party. But that is only true we all respect each other, not if each group treats other Republicans as enemies to be defeated or ignored.

Sick to death of hearing how the GOP will be a minority party if it does not embrace the "moderates". The GOP embraced moderates in abundance from '96 (Bob Dole), 'til '04 (Specter) to the '10 primary season (Crist, Murkowski, et al) and went from a majority to a minority party. Tea Party patriots infused new blood, money and enthusiasm, and the GOP is suddenly on the brink of a come back. Yet the same moderates who sell us out time after time after time after time after time etc. Ground Hog Day and so forth insist if we do not "embrace" them then the GOP will be a minority party. Here's a suggestion for all you bed-wetting, limp-noodle, no cajones moderates: When a Tea Party candidate wins a primary, give us your full support in the general election. If you cannot be bothered to do that, then kindly exit the building. When Murkowski and Crist are out of the race and Castle endorses O'Donnell you can talk about embracing each other for party unity. Until then quit your hypocritical whining. Even your own mommies are sick of it.

Republicans were united today in defeating illegal immigrant amnesty and Don't Ask, Don't Tell homosexual rights. No RINOs today, with everyone voting to defeat the Democrats. That's what it would take to make the Republican Party united and a team, for politicians to vote that way.

Heh,
Mark Levin can be abrasive...as most truly brilliant people can be. Suffering fools gladly is to much of a waste of time.
I have read Mark's book. It is brilliantly done.
TruthSayer| 9.21.10 @ 5:03PM
Baer is just another go along to get along inside the beltway fool. The Castle's and Murkowski's of the world are just as much at fault for the disasterous state of affairs in this country as any liberal socialist democrat and should be routed at every turn.
Levin is prescient in that he recognized the danger that the Republic faces by choosing more RINOs like Kirk. Right now, the people are willing to use the ballot box to enact change (not go along to get along Bushism). However, if the federal government is not reigned in (and Kirk will not reign it in), the economy will collapse (hyperinflation) and all bets are off! The revolution is that setting will become violent and the outcome unpredictable.
Occam's Tool| 9.21.10 @ 5:54PM
Why don't the "moderate" Republicans compromise and vote for the Conservatives who will lower their taxes and government intrusion, while maintaining a strong defense? O'Donnell won a fair race. What's the problem?
Alan Brooks| 9.21.10 @ 8:04PM
If America goes bankrupt, there is no GOP future.
How much do we owe China? tell us.
David Hambleton | 9.21.10 @ 9:20PM
Catch a clue. Mark is only a reporter, but at least he is an honest one. This Baehr is more of a fool than Murkowski, Specter, McCain, Snow and Collins combined! We the People can smell a Progressive with their weasel-y mealy-mouthed collectivist agenda a mile away, Repubican or Democrat! And we'll vote 'em out and run 'em out because we want to get back to the wonderful exceptional United States of America we were born and raised to respect and defend. G-d bless us all!

The Republicans and Democrats don't get it!
We're sinking more in debt each and every day. Republicans like to blame entitlements but entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security keep America strong.
We're sinking in debt because of all the give-aways to foreign hostile nations. We have given over a trillion dollars to Iraq, Afganistan and other hostile nations. We continue to give these terrorist nations hundreds of billions of dollars while the number of people that are homeless in the US continues to grow dramatically.
Now China is flexing its military muscle and is threatening the US with military weapons far advanced than our own.
We need to start spending lots of money for military tech and the only people that can pay for it are the 1% of the people in the US that possess 99% of the wealth.
Time to raise the taxes on the rich. If we don't pay now, China will successfully invade our country's borders and demand we bow down to communism. All wealth will be taken away and the rich will lose their lives.
The choice for the rich is preserve your wealth by giving it now to our government or pay later to China with your life.
