like I've posted many times before the biggest problem with the republican party there are to many democrats in it
If the republican party wants to survive they need to get rid of the Boehners. McCains, Kings, and Grahams out of the party and force them over to the democrats where they belong
I have stuck up for the republican party as a whole for far to long and im tired of these two faced rino liars making a fool out of me. from here on out the party can go to hell I will only endorse selected true conservative, libertarians, and constitutionalist in the party
