"The real lesson in the Liz Mair affair is that Ms. Mair may be the first consultant this year to get pitched by a GOP candidate for her views but she will not be the last. The Mair episode opens a new chapter in GOP politics in which the choice of “rented strangers” by a candidate’s campaign will be seen as more than a sign of professional wisdom because of the consultant’s area of expertise. Consultants themselves will now become potential issues all by themselves. Every word a consultant has ever said, written, or tweeted will be examined with an eye to what the candidate in question really believes. And, even more to the point, the choice of consultants will be seen as how that candidate would staff and run the White House and rest of the federal government if elected."

Absolutely! I received an email from the Perry campaign bragging that they'd obtained Steve Schmidt. I wrote back, "Thanks, but I will not be supporting you since you have just signaled what you think of conservatives."

Exactly! We have certainly seen this first hand with all the Anti-American TRAITORS in the current regime!

Good on Scott Walker. Love My Gov! :)

These consultants are why the GOP keeps losing. They ought to be a campaign issue. They're, at best, a crowd of political parasites, pocketing millions in campaign donations, and delivering warm spit for results.

Perry also has Henry Barbour

[kingattax]

a candidate that is a true conservative who is firmly standing and running on conservative principles does not need any “consultants”.

Who is Dog Bush? Is he running?

[Yosemitest]

Bush, Walker, Perry and Paul, all of them are irrelevant!
They truly are UNELECTABLE !
They can't win because they're the same old story,

"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS".

These consultants have been wrecking the GOP for too long now. They set the culture of the campaign and agenda, not the candidate. They are even known to go after their own candidates as McCain’s mob did to Sarah Palin.
