Third Party ensures Dope control

Glenn beck and anyone else touting a third party ahead of the midterm elections and 2016 are idiots.  You do not need anymore proof than the results of the VA gubernatorial race.  A third party “libertarian” candidate sunk conservative Ken Cuccinneli’s hopes.

Beck, a self described libertarian, rails against the RINOs in the GOP.  He takes it so far as to say he will never hold his nose and vote the least of two evils again.  That’s stupid.  Glenn if you had the only vote, would you vote to have your right arm hacked off at the shoulder or the pinky on your right hand removed?  Yeah, he’d vote.

I don’t know many people who have been tougher on the GOP than Lex.  I railed against him in strong terms, but I voted for McCain.  While it’s nice to send off strong letters and e-mails to Republicans threatening to NEVER vote for them again, Lex remains a pragmatist.  I support dumping the RINOs in the primaries.  If that’s not possible, for the sake of the country, I think you have to vote for the least of two evils. Does anyone in their right mind believe we’d be in the mess we’re in right now had McCain or Romney been elected?

Ann Coulter is taking an even more radical stance.  She is of the mind that we shouldn’t even challenge establishment Republicans who can easily win their seat.  We should leave the Mike Castle’s, Orin Hatches and Mike Enzi’s of the party alone.  It’s better to have a RINO than a Dope in the seat.  If we take that approach, the establishment will NEVER change.  We’ll never have the Marco Rubio’s, Mike Lee’s and Ted Cruz’s if challenges are never mounted.

It is not disloyal to challenge sitting Republicans if they have been in congress for more than 4 house terms or two senate terms.  Anyone involved in any organization knows that it is the new blood that shakes things up and moves the organization forward.  Although killing the competition in every time slot and every demographic, Fox News just totally redid its prime time line up.  Early returns indicate that the new line up is increasing Fox’s lead over its competition.

It’s not the Tea Party being disloyal Republicans by challenging the stats quo.  It’s the establishment Republicans thinking they own the party and their seat in congress that are truly the disloyal ones.  Long-time IN Senator Dick Lugar was defeated in a primary in 2012.  After his defeat, Lugar did not lift one finger to help the Republican candidate.  He pouted like an entitled spoiled brat.  He took his ball and went home.   The Demo-Dopes picked up the seat.  Way to go DICK.  You’re doing a heck of a job for the country.

Besides, the Tea Party is right.  Way back when, John McCain called Ted Cruz and Mike Lee “whacko birds” for opposing Robertscare and advocating its repeal, defunding or delay.  Last night I caught Senator McCain on Greta saying the exact same things Cruz and Lee were saying when McCain was calling them whacko birds.  So who are the leaders and who are the followers?  Where would we be had the 40 senate Republicans stood with Cruz? 

Last, in the Marine Corps, we learned that it was OK to argue your position right up to the point of decision.  Once the decision was made, you were expected to get on board and support the decision 100%, as if it were your own.  Primaries are the arguing point for Republicans.  General elections are past the decision point and we should all get on board and support the best candidate. The problem isn’t with the challengers.  The problem is with establishment cry babies.  They never take their turn in the field.  Unless they get to bat all of the time they take their bat and ball and go home.
