The RINOS are in control of the party, so it won't be a true TEA Senator. My guess is that McConnell will be majority leader if he wins *gag*, and John Cornyn will be majority leader if McConnell goes down *slightly less of a gag, but still a gag*

It wouldn't matter. He'd have little influence.

He would have huge influence.

Who?

Matters not, because who ever it is, will have to deal with a powerful Conservative element in the party.
If they want to get anywhere, they have to move hard Right or forget getting any agenda through.

Gridlock can be a good thing.

I love your optimism, however, you should temper it with a healthy dose of Reality!

As long as the RINOs hold the purse strings of the Party, they will get most of the GOP congresscritters to whistle the RINOs tune. It goes like this:

"Son, you're new here on the Hill. Let me explain something to you. You can have your little pet issues and meaningless crusades for whatever will make your voters at home happy. HOWEVER, when push comes to shove, you support the GOP position, period! If you don't. If you go "rogue" on us, you won't get one dime from the party come election time and, you can kiss the thought of getting any kind of committee chair good-bye."

So let me see if I understand this. You believe the RINO are omnipotent beings that can't be conquered, an entity that regardless of the power others hold, they will always prevail?
Do you have any idea just how freakin pessimistic you are, how defeatist you sound?

Do me a favor, quit posting your, "we're all gonna die" bull shit, no one here believes it for one second, they're here because they're willing to fight.
Cowards have no place on this forum, so pull up your petticoat and run away little girl, because real men and women have no interest in losers and defeatists.

And Darth, I dead fuckin serious. We're at war, pick a side, or get the Hell out of the way, there's no room for cowards.

How has that been working out for Boehner? If the Conservatives in the House just laid down like you are suggesting we wouldn't still be talking about amnesty. We'd have it.

It would appear the Dashvinny disease is communicable?
