…resulting in more electoral blue.

I’ve got a piece just up at the Daily Caller addressing two stories over the weekend, involving squishiness by incoming Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Fred Utpon and a handful of folks who see a president in the mirror when they shave. These missteps need to be corrected, promptly. More later on specific steps appropriate for both contexts.

My only comment for these RINOs - get a rope!!!

So now the Wile E. Coyote Party now want to save us from AGW? I am now anxiously awaiting the announcement stating The ACME Corporation will be expanding to offer carbon credits along with their traditional line of contraptions to catch road runners. How stupid can these bozos get?! The Stupid Party indeed!
1) Climate change is called weather.
2) GOD created weather.
3) GOD controls the weather.
4) Nothing fallible men can do or have already done will change or alter the above three facts.
5) AGW theories were conceived by men who either don't believe in GOD, don't trust GOD, deny GOD's sovereignty & power at work in the universe, or a combination of all three.
6) If you still don't understand AGW is a hoax return to step #1.
And the RNC, NRSC, & RNCC wonder why they have a fund raising problem. As another poster here says rather frequently, "You can't fix stupid!".

Do what we're doing in NVA, organize and start building a war chest and a voter list that can be called on during primaries.

We deal with RINOs in the primaries. They focus on killing socialism and become effective at killing socialism or we electorally kill them in primaries...

Anthropogenic Global Warming, for lack of proof, is now called climate change, just as to many Republicans might as well be called something else.

Have you considered| 1.4.11 @ 9:11AM

This is exactly why the Tea Party's were opposed to Upton's appointment to this committee.

I believe they are sowing the seeds of a new revolution.

I have never seen as many calls for armed intervention as I have in this last year. The citizens are becoming inured to rhetoric against it, and many see it as the only alternative. Unfortunately, I am truly beginning to agree.

I have concluded that Freedom is a hill worth dieing upon.

Ed in North Texas| 1.4.11 @ 9:16AM

I believed putting Upton in the Chair, based on seniority and his "word" that he'll behave was a gross mistake by Boehner. Apparently I may be proven correct. In the inimitable words of Algore "The tiger doesn't change his spots."

Now it pains me to hear that there isn't a single Conservative (or Constitutionalist) in the "top tier" of Republican potential candidates. Oh, wait, that was Politico - hardly fair and balanced (TM FNC) - and even they said "almost all". There's hope yet that there is a real Conservative lurking in the field - but Politico wouldn't know one if he kicked them in the ....

Conservative Bob| 1.4.11 @ 12:36PM

It took a long time to get here and it is going to take more than one election to fix... We must be resolute in our efforts to eradicate all of the big government, lip service only conservatives. They must hear from us constantly and if they fail to listen we must field a primary opponent. We let them get away with saying one thing and doing another for far too long. We must educate them to the fact that time has passed.
Over time we will prevail or we will lose our republic. We let things go for a very long time it will take perseverance to and tenacity to make things right again.

Keep your powder dry. The Repubs. have only learned to modify their public relations. Putting all the hacks in as committee chairs signals business as usual.

If they refuse to change, the Tea Party will run
candidates against them in the primaries and defeat them

Remember, no money to the RNC. Send all money directly to candidates.
