South Dakota’s “Republican” Senator John Thune , the man with a 48% Liberty Score from Conservative Review, the man who attended a fundraiser for RINO Thad Cochran and donated to Cochran’s campaign (Cochran, who tried to smear Tea Party conservative opponent Chris McDaniel from the Left as a racist), says he’s offended about being called a member of the RINO establishment.

The American Principles in Action group graded the Republican presidential candidates on their support for or opposition to the controversial educational standards that the big-government types are trying to shove down our throats.

South Dakota District 33 Senator Phil Jensen’s mailer is out. One of our best Republicans in the South Dakota Legislature, Jensen points not only to conservative rhetoric, but a conservative record of leadership.

Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD) spoke at the breakfast at the South Dakota Republican Party Convention in Rapid City this morning. These are some of Noem’s comments regarding the National Guard response to the tornado damage in Wessington Springs, South Dakota.

The Duck Commander, Phil Robertson, patriarch of the famed Duck Dynasty show, was one of the featured speakers at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans the other week. He had the following message for the Republican Party. “GOP, you can’t be right for America if you’re wrong with God. You want to turn the Republican Party around? Get Godly.”

When Republicans have had power, we have never seen them ruthlessly pursue our agenda with the same reckless abandon or courage of conviction the Obama Regime and its allies daily display. The last time we saw the Republicans draw a line in the sand with Democrats was over invading Iraq, which turned out to be urban renewal in the name of Allah. Since then, it’s been the “surrender caucus” on parade.

Republican congressional candidates across the nation should remember that those same smiling, earnest faces who greet them when they come to D.C. to make all the right connections are the same unattributed whisperers who will attempt to destroy your campaign when it suits their purpose. Of course, if you dare to resist the D.C. group think, expect the anonymous Politico whisperers to re-emerge slicing you to bits one paper cut at a time.

Both Mitch McConnell and that worthless slug John Boehner in the House need to go-definitely from leadership, but also from their seats in congress as well. They have proven themselves to be not only an impediment to the advancement of conservative values, but an enemy of those values.

The Republicans ran more than a dozen candidates in the 2012 primary and then three presidential candidates in the national election. Our current Democratic and Republican parties only gained their standing in the late nineteenth century. Currently the Republican Party is in turmoil, with at least three distinct factions fighting for political control.

If the House passes an immigration reform bill before November, the Republicans can write off the 2014 election. It will be over. The GOP will lose its chance to win control of the Senate and may, in fact, lose control of the House, because conservative republicans — and independents — will stay home in utter disgust.
