Read MoreThe internal turmoil in the Republican Party has been on full display over the last few days. In the latest example of GOP infighting, the party is divided about whether or not they should threaten to shut down the federal government if Obamacare is not defunded. Republican leaders, including 13 Senators have signed on to this stunt while others in their party including many Republican Governors and members of Congress are calling the plan, “dishonest” “hype” “silly” and “really dumb.”
Read MoreSince their electoral defeats at the national and state level last November, the GOP has spent a lot of time talking about rebranding their party and expanding their base to constituencies like women, who fled their party in droves. However, a quick look at Republican statehouses nationwide and the GOP in Washington shows that is not what’s happening on the ground—it’s still the same old GOP.
Read MoreThat’s what Congressional Republicans and conservative leaders have said about Tea Party Republican plan to shut down the government unless ObamaCare is defunded. Holding our government hostage in order to score political points with the most extreme factions of their party is reckless and irresponsible.

It’s clear that Priebus and his predecessors value empty rhetoric over real results.
Read MoreEarlier this year, the RNC released an Autopsy report on the party’s failure in 2012. In the report, the RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and the RNC pledged to help make the GOP a more tolerant and inclusive Party. In an interview with the CBN’s David Brody, RNC Chairman Priebus quickly distanced himself from supporting tolerance saying: “First of all, I don’t know if I’ve used the word tolerance. I don’t really care for that word myself.”
Read MoreEarlier this year, the RNC released an Autopsy Report on the party’s failings in 2012 where they pledged to change their ways and reach out to groups, like women, that they had alienated by the party’s rhetoric and policies. Their report stated that the Party needs to develop “a forward-leaning vision for voting Republican that appeals to women [and demonstrate] that our policies, principles and vision address the concerns of female voters.” How’s that effort coming?
