Cadell is a better republican than most and he’s a democrat.

As I said before about Romney - his one and only true goal was to make sure no one else got the nomination and then LOSE to Obama. The fix is in - playing the game with or without the Racketeers isn’t going to change anything. Rearranging the deck chairs comes to mind...

*This is from a diehard Dem*

BUT this is true:

The 2010 takeover of Congress by the Republicans, Caddell said, “was not engineered by the Washington Republican establishment. They [the establishment] then took that victory and threw it away.”

"The Republican Party," Caddell continued, "is in the grips of what I call the CLEC--the consultant, lobbyist, and establishment complex." Caddell described CLEC as a self serving interconnected network of individuals and organizations interested in preserving their own power far more than they're interested in winning elections.

That's why candidates like Sarah Palin get destroyed - they might upset the gravy train.

You people play for a different kind of agenda...Your party has no problem playing the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters."

...

Caddell predicted that the Republican Party, unless it became the anti-establishment, anti-Washington party, would become extinct, like the 19th century Whig Party. "These people [in the consulting-lobbying-establishment complex] are doing business for themselves. They are a part of the Washington establishment. These people don’t want to have change." The 2010 takeover of Congress by the Republicans, Caddell said, "was not engineered by the Washington Republican establishment. They [the establishment] then took that victory and threw it away."

Caddell called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "the Ambrose Burnside of American politics." Burnside was the commander of the Union's Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. He was dismissed by Lincoln for his inability to press his advantage against the enemy, his plodding and unimaginative strategies, and his inability to focus resources on the tactics needed for victory.

All of it is spot on, but these in particular hit hard.

The Republican Party should be disbanded and a Conservative Party established in its place. People with conservative principles should not be expected to vote Republican in order to keep the fat cats fat and well-connected in the bowels of the Government Mafia.

Furthermore, Caddell lays out what I’ve been saying for quite some time.

The Republican Party is a friend to conservatives the way Pakistan is an ally in the War On Terror.

Caddell, a democrat, was the first to warn about the “GOP Consultant Establishment”. He also warned during the campaign that Romney was blowing it. We should listen to Caddell.

Something's really in the air

After Republicans lost the White House as well as seats in the House and Senate in the 2012 elections, Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, wrote that the bad candidate selection and badly run campaigns reminded him of Eric Hoffer's remark that "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business and eventually degenerates into a racket." Kristol added "It may be that major parts of American conservatism have become such a racket that a kind of 're-founding' of the movement as a cause is necessary."

Sarah Palin told us this years ago. Once again, she was right.

As far as I'm concerned, any “Republican” strategist, advisor, consultant, former-campaign whatever on scene today is a f@cking loser who is trying to parlay their miserable records and platform/candidate tripe to the next group of donor suckers who are desperately hoping to oust Obama’s ilk and what is likely to follow.

As far as I'm concerned, they should be treated like pariahs, shundt as the Quakers or Pennsylvania Dutch say. Ostracized and pilloried. They should be rounded up and incarcerated in political limbo jail. Screw them and their “strategery”.

“”The Republican Party,” Caddell continued, “is in the grips of what I call the CLEC—the consultant, lobbyist, and establishment complex.” Caddell described CLEC as a self serving interconnected network of individuals and organizations interested in preserving their own power far more than they’re interested in winning elections.

Just follow the money,” Caddell told a rapt audience....

Financial corruption is a key component of the current process, according to Caddell. “There’s money passing under the table on both parties. Don’t kid yourself...If you can’t see racketeering in front of you, God save you.”

__________

Conservatives would be wise to listen to Caddell, and it’s nice that I’m not the only one screaming about this collusion/corruption/money laundering...YES, I said it...MONEY LAUNDERING. We’ve been talking about it for days here on FR. He’s pointing fingers at the same players I’ve been warning you about....
Al Cardenas, head of ACU
Grover Norquist and his pal in crime, Karl Rove & Islamic extremist CPAC player Suhail Kahn.
Their accomplices hijacking the tea party label..teaparty.net and TPNN (teapartynewsnetwork)
The money changing hands between Rove and Norquist alone should alarm you. One openly trying to destroy the tea party movement and the other one claiming it as his.
And ALL of them for the gang of 8 amnesty. Do you think all these people don’t know these aliens will vote democrat??? WAKE UP.

Odd how Pat Caddell seems to care more about conservatism than Karl Rove.

Or perhaps it’s not odd.

Funny that a Democrat is criticizing GOP lobbyists for being just like Democrats.

He did describe the throwing-away of the 2010 “shellacking” accurately though.
