Everyone asks who will be this generation's Reagan.
Perhaps a better question is who will be this generation's Atwater?

You donors and others were played for marks by groups like [Karl Roves American] Crossroads, Caddell said, noting that establishment super PACs cared more about preserving arrangements in the media. Too often, Caddell said the Republican consultant-lobbyist-establishment complex ignores anything that could be effective if it does not allow them to profit.
For instance, even though a Frank Luntz focus group found that the Hope and the Change movie was the most effective way for Republicans to appeal to independent voters, Caddell accused the Republican consultant-lobbyist-establishment complex of not utilizing the film because that communication didnt fit in their conventional plans to make the consultant class wealthy.
I hope the fat puke Rove chokes on the millions he made. Bastard!

The hierarchy in the RNC and their gofer ‘consultants’ have got to go.
They grossly underestimated the power of huge groups of low income/intelligence voters bought and paid for with taxpayer funded Free S*it!
They also underestimated the strength of a media whose sole purpose to to destroy whomever is perceived as a threat. Now (Mia Love, Allen West) and in the future (Marco Rubio).
Through buzz words (’Racist!’, ‘Radical’, ‘Greedy Capitalist’, ‘Bain’ ect) and catch phrases (’War on Women’, ‘Off shore accounts’, etc) ladled and repeated ad infinitum between a news show’s commercial breaks. Creating a perfect stimuli for countless numbers of barely cognizant, Twitter transfused Pavlovian voters.
Not to mention the Dems’ and the left’s proven ability to steal elections. With 141% of voters turning out in St, Lucie, Florida. And several districts in Philadelphia having 100% of the vote going to Obama.

Speaking at The David Horowitz Freedom Center's "Restoration Weekend" in Florida on November 16, Pat Caddell
Layer upon layer upon layer, etc., of confusion.
Pat's throwing a confusion grenade into the core of conservatism.
Restoring America is not about elections or campaigns or politicians, for that matter.
Please, in 1980, Federal debt was 40% of GDP now its over 100% of GDP.
What worked then will not work now.
Trimming the budget will not work.
Lowering taxes a little will not work.
Electing a real conservative President will not work.
The spending is completely off-the-charts out of control. $1 trillion in Welfare - not including Social Security, Medicare or Defense.
The debt is now more than the entire annual economy.
We need to mobilize the citizenry - the 50 to 100 million or so that have some sense - to start changing the institutions and organizations that have been, in earnest, subversively promoting communism for the last 50 years (of course the ideas are 150 years old).
There are many ways to do this real work that must be done. Without this work, the election of Republicans alone will not stop the collapse of societal values.
I had one idea, I made these posts:

I have over 50 people interested so far - please let me know if you'd like to be on the list.

A good candidate shouldn’t need consultants.

Lack of leadership is what’s killing the Republican party.
With all the reaching across the aisle, it’s hard to tell the parties apart anymore.

Its kinda hard to beat someone who is expert at stuffing the ballot box! America needs radical election reform to secure its soverienty by allowing only citizens to vote and protect the integrity of the process.
To: Bratch
Campaign consultants make their money by commissions. In other words, the more money is spent the more they make. They do not make as much money in a winning campaign that spends less. Hence, the most important constituency to them is big-ticket donors: corporate lobbyists who fund BOTH sides.
The rest of us are to fall in line.
