NEW ORLEANS — Republicans are poised for successful midterm elections, but many of the party's most conservative activists are looking ahead to something bigger.

"We need to save this country in 2016," Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus told the opening session of the 2014 Republican Leadership Conference on Thursday.

The annual event has grown into an opportunity for rising GOP stars to address some of the most conservative rank-and-file party faithful who influence the presidential nomination process.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal kicked of the list of White House hopefuls, delighting delegates by skewering President Barack Obama as "the most ideologically liberal" and "most incompetent president of our lifetimes." Delegates will hear Friday and Saturday from tea party hero Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, 2012 presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and others.

4. It's quite obvious now, that the only thing holding back the U.S. is the GOP.

7. And "bi-partisanship."

To BE an "Opposition Party," it would be helpful to actually OPPOSE!

15. I didn't say that I agreed with it, but it is news.

I personally don't like the tone of the article, but it did draw some responses so your assertion that no one is interested is incorrect.

Do you choose to ignore or denounce any piece of news that doesn't fit into your agenda?

11. Although I agree with RB,

It should be noted how delusional these idiots really are. We all know it.

Poised for successful midterm? Yeah right. They've done nothing for this country in the past 6 years. If anything, they've set us back a decade.

And look at the list of idiots. Penis, Jindal, Cruz, Perry? And I'm pretty sure quack quack duck dynasty Phil, and the Donald will speak too.

What a bunch of losers. They stand for nothing. They ARE nothing!!!

My prediction: They will lose big time in 2014 and even bigger in 2016. It's the beginning of the end of the GOP and the friggin tea party.

Bring it on boys.

13. "save this country"

They're the ones ruining it.

[Beacool]

14. I agree with Reince Priebus, we need to save this country in 2016.

Don't vote Republican.



Looking at their 2016 roster is enough to ruin one's appetite.

Cruz, Paul, Santorum, Jindal, Perry, Rubio, etc.

16. hard to have eyes on much of anything when you've got your head up your arse...
