Fight against change. Brought back in the 21st century to battle anything marked obama. Anything that says this man was elected president of the United States. Now in this third battle of bull run, the rebel cry in stars and bars are rejoining the cause. They speak of secession and nullification and all the old language leading up to the war between the United States. They cheer openly at ripping apart the Political Party. This time its the republicans, to free them from total war. Alongside the battlefield where the women and children once watched we saw the limbaughs and ericksons that turned out to cheerlead. Like the women who got their name back in the earlier time from general hooker. Yes, theres money in war. Even this phony war of filibusters and jibes at part police. David corn for mother jones and sam stein with ....
An alternative using the shape of the republican party. the analogy is right, but then consider the context which makes matt kibbe s remarks unbased. you have a system in this country which giving more power and authority to solitary individual donors. it s taken away the party from the party committees and put it in the individuals hands. so one person can say i want to bank roll this one candidate and suddenly you don t have to party structure. and the second thing is we re living in this time where there s an incredible libertarian bent. i think it s a backlash from the bush years and it s profoundly seen in the republican tent. they were upset with t.a.r.p. and the spending and medicare part d. but they were upset with what happened in iraq. they thought the party lost its roots. and there s a backlash to that. let me add one thing which is that the internet and social media has really facilitated a lot of this. candidates can now connect with so many more voters than they ....
Mitch mcconnell. and at the last minute boehner and the president said look let s move on. i give credit to mitch who i normally don t salute much, but he basically said this is going to be a catastrophe unless we change our position. right. you now and they don t like that. this civil war that this whole episode revealed has gotten worse to the extent that you cite mitch mcconnell as the guy that prevented the republicans from pulling everybody else with him off the cliff. today the senate conservative fund endorsed the primary opponent. so there s no white flag for peace in the party. things have gotten worse. you have what eric erickson is saying. he basically said kiss off. he did. i have to hand him credit for the way he responded. he said kiss off, but this is not going anywhere. this fight, and when we come back january 15th, february 7th, the republicans still have to let s go to a tea party expert that on this show. matt kibe. ....
He said a split in the republican party is quote, a real possibility. let s listen to matt. grassroots activists have an ability to self-organize, to fund candidates that they re more interested in going right around the republican national committee and the senatorial committee. that s the new reality. everything is more democratized. they still want to control things from the top down and if they do that, there will absolutely be a split. but my prediction would be that we take over the republican party and they go the way of the wiggs. what do you take from that? watching the democratic convention as a grad student and watching and thinking i think the anti-war people do want to take over the party in the instance of stopping the war in vietnam because it was going on too long. but they weren t thinking of changing the party necessarily. these people are interested in a total what do they call it? ....
0 disaster in my lifetime, if i can ever remember a time when a political party just made a decision not to exist. congressman tim huelskamp told the washington post, we ll be looking for any opportunity. we took a shot at it and we fell short. i think we re waiting around for another battle over obama care. meanwhile, conservative blogger eric erickson said conservatives should pick off so-called moderates in the gop. quote, the last time the major leaders of an american political party tried to compromise their way to party, the party broke apart giving way to republicans. this fight too will break apart the gop. there will be a fundamentally altered party of new faces. never before have the people seemed less dependent on a party apparatus to play in primaries. over the issue of secession. that was particularly the democratic party that came from that. but this idea that our job is to basically take over and alter a major political party, take the party of lincoln and use the na ....
