Bozell: If GOP Blows November Election, Its Anti-Conservative Strategy Will Be To Blame
Fox Nation ^ | October 19, 2014 | Brent Bozell, Fox News

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

We are watching the wheels come off the most radical and dangerously incompetent administration in history. “I am not on the ballot this fall,” President Obama proclaims, “but make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.”

This statement should be the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats. The GOP should be poised to win a landslide of historic proportions.

So why is there so much debate over whether they’ll win -- at all?

The answer is crystal clear. The Republican Party needed only to choose any one of a number of national issues and campaign on them, offering the voters a clear conservative alternative. But the tepid GOP leadership has not chosen not to do so, fearing any debate over their party’s own policies. The result? The moderates responsible for this political cowardice -- and that is what it is -- are now in preemptive damage control mode, trying to blame conservatives.

If Republicans are not victorious next month, it will not be the fault of the conservative base. The moderates and their consultants will own this disaster....

Better get ready to repeat that; gonna be plenty of blame thrown at anyone who won't hold their nose for the umpteenth time.

The corollary to that would be if they do well then their disdain for us paid off. Bozell needs to think a bit deeper.

No! No!
The RINO lovers have been busy telling us it will be the fault of conservatives for not letting the abusive spouse beat them again.
And yes, the GOP leadership is behaving as an abusive spouse.
Eventually the serial abuser kills his victim, or the victim makes a break for it.

In so many solicitations for money, the RNC and their committees are trying to pass themselves off as “conservative”. Their deceptive advertising, encouraging us to give to them by mistake, is reprehensible.

Way to many Freepers will be throwing that blame.

The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that's just great, because it will give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.

Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.

You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:

The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate

Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.

The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.

Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.

It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.

I only had to read the title to this article to say a hearty: AMEN!!! I’ll be so glad when all of the old RINO farts in the GOP go on to that big Senate Cloak Room in the sky before they totally destroy the Republican Party.

Hell yeah! I’ve used that same analogy on a few occasions. The GOP Establishment treats Tea Partiers and True Conservatives like an abused spouse. They beat the hell out of us until Election Day then they come around saying: “I’m sorry”. Yeah, well, they can go eff themselves.

The last time these dip sticks called me for a donation, I cursed that POS up one side and down the other, and told that MOFO to never call me again. That was about 10 years ago, and they never called me again.

It will be an interesting election.

The GOPe has alienated their supporters. The Marxists have alienated everybody but the government unions.

Is it possible that the government is manipulating all of us (whatever we call ourselves), to whatever the government wants?

All of us are paying the taxes and being herded around like sheep. We are supposed to be the electorate who chooses the public servants.
To me, it looks like we never have a real choice. And we seem to be the ones serving the government.

Common knowledge, but so, so many in denial of that truth. Much easier to blame us for the failure.

We've already got a solid socialist party, what makes them think we need or want another?

Douche sandwiches!

It's not just possible, it's highly likely.

What always amazes me is they know they have to pretend to be conservative to win elections, then if they do win they head left. It has all become such a scam. The GOP wants our money, and our votes, but we are supposed to sit down and shut up and let them help the liberals ruin this country.

Republicans will almost certainly take the senate, but I would say the big three possible Republican liberal failures are Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Thad Cochran.

There could be others, but for the most part, conservatives will still back freshmen RINOs, with fair warning, in that they are still considered better than Democrats, if not by much. But the big three, in that order, are too dangerous to America to allow to remain in office.

Really, a Republican sweep losing only Mitch McConnell would be the ideal outcome.

Bozell nails it. I've been saying the same thing myself for the past six months.

There is no leadership, no principles - absolutely nothing - coming from the GOP. What you have is this ridiculous "play it safe" crap that's alienating the base and making other voters indifferent.

I'm only voting because Scott Walker is my Governor and my Congressman Reid Ribble has done a respectable job. If this was an off-year, I'd stay home.

I've found this campaign cycle really irritating. There are SO MANY issues that could have voters demanding a conservative vision for the US. Instead, the Republicans are treating it like a giant telethon, where WINNING means getting lots of money to their buddies running the campaigns. They aren't really promising to change anything, just to be a majority if I give them at least $5. Now, they're getting kind of sarcastic, lecturing me for not donating anything.

Joni Ernst is the only one who has impressed me as having the background and vision and ideas to change things. So, I sent her campaign a little money. That's it.

grrr......
