Memo to the GOPe: Listen to the People or go the way of the Dodo
Coach is Right ^ | 12/31/15 | John C. Velisek USN (Ret.)

In 2016, voters must decide the direction our country will take for the foreseeable future. Will we choose to again be a nation of free and independent souls or will we continue down the path which has made the U.S. a global laughing stock?

Many Americans realize that the nation cannot survive the effects of crony capitalism which dominates Washington politics. The question is how to end the corrupt practices which have provided wealth and power to members of both political parties. One would think that the forced dismissal of John Boehner as House Speaker might have caused the GOP establishment to take heed of the increasing spirit of contempt and mistrust felt by members of the Party base. Unfortunately it hasn’t turned out that way. For like their Democrat counterparts, Republican elites believe that the American people work for them.

That might explain the willingness of Republican big-shots to demonize those conservative supporters who spend their own time and money each year trying to put Republicans in charge of D.C. politics. And Party elders are just as hard on conservatives in Congress. Tennessee Senator Rand Paul lambasted GOP House leaders for purging conservative members from the House Budget Committee—their crime, telling the truth about the phony Paul Ryan budget deal.

The GOP/RNC has sold its soul to The Cheap Labor Express.
They have betrayed the citizens and the rule of law.
Only a handful of Senators and maybe 50 members of the House are on the side of the citizens.
The rest need to be Cantorized.

Pinhead Yeb! said he would secure the nomination without the base - that is us.

The base is way bigger than the leadership at the top.

We need to take back our Party and kick the abusers out.

Doesn't get any more GOPe than Jeb Bush. And he said that he did not need us.

How's that 3% working for you El Jebbe?

How's it feel to be as welcome as a screen door on a submarine?

They cannot change. They have taken too much lobbyist money.

The greed is strong on the Dark Side of the Force.

It's too late. Forces have been set in motion that can not be stopped, turned around, or co-opted.


Bon Voyageee!
