GOP Gives Up Virginia To Democrats Instead Of Giving Tea Party and Social Conservatives A Win

People have warned that forming a third party will only give the democrats a win. Here, the establishment republican party has effectively done just that, pulling the rug out from under a TEA movement candidate, given the democrats an important win, in order to make a point and secure an object lesson.

So F*** the establishment GOP. Time for a third party and to let them languish in the back benches forever. How much worse could it possibly be?

McAuliffe grabbed the momentum in the beginning with his big television buy,

Here is my dilemma. How do we battle an electorate that willingly throws their support behind a person like TERRY MCAULIFFE? That man should have been laughed off the stage. Instead, he is now going to be a Governor.

Barak Obama's qualifications to be president of the United States were limited to community organizing and winning elections by dubious means.

Hillary Clinton's qualifications include running a war room to destroy women who outed her husband for his sexual perversities.

Even before Bill Clinton was proved by DNA to be a perjurer who lied to fix a court case, there was abundant evidence that he was a serial abuser of women.

McAuliffe was a bagman for the Clintons, a man utterly without ethics, a total sleaze.

Yet all of these people have won elective office and are celebrated in the media and admired by huge sections of the public and, to our sorrow, the electorate.

We as conservatives instinctively try to make these people despicable when we should make them derisible. But that large chunk of the electorate does not share our moral outrage, they are only into what is cool and what is uncool. They react to what is uncool as though it were radioactive. We must make it uncool to be associated in any way with these people because we succeed in destroying the Terry McAuliffes of this world with satire and derision.

The Empire Strikes Back-—RINOs charge and spear patriots. You didn’t think these beasts would go quietly into the night? Time for 3rd Party—I have said it—now we must act before they cut the Tea Party to pieces! The MSM and the Democrats will help them do it. We have been warned.

[DouglasKC]

What if the fight is guaranteed by the official?

That can only work for so long in a close fight. If our guy beats the snot out of his opponent and the fight is called for the other guy by the official the crowd knows it.

Libertarians (real ones) don't support the welfare state, and they don't support the Fourth Branch. Most libertarians would ACTUALLY end the Department of Education and the EPA, if they had the power to do so.

Yabut, while they were shutting down those departments, Real libertarians would be killing babies, taking drugs and raping each other.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

How much worse could it possibly be?

Well, you could be disarmed and starving in a FEMA camp run by gays in the military.

The RINO GOP must be crushed in the 2014 elections.

Vote out the RINOs!

[Gene Eric]

Not only are we handicapped by superficiality, but also by the grave animosity that exists between the GOP and TP.

[nathanbedford]

Your description, "grave animosity" between Tea Party and The Grand Old Party is well put.

I think many of us feel as we imagine some few African-Americans feel as and when they have an epiphany and come to understand that the Democrat party, contrary to its contrived image, actually despises them. As Jesse Jackson can exploit the Trayvon Martin case as he has done, not to advance the well-being of rootless black teenage boys or even any part of the African-American race, but to rabble-rouse that race with demagoguery, so will the Republican establishment exploit the patriotism and godliness of the American heartland to maintain its perch on the heights of political power.

I live here in Germany so I cannot pretend to any peculiar inside knowledge of the workings of the GOP and I am reduced to listening to talk radio to get a sense of inner reality from what is put on the air. Yet, when I hear someone like Tucker Carlson, hardly a firebreathing conservative, remark to Laura Ingraham with real bitterness in his voice that every one of those GOP insiders attending the cocktail parties inside the Beltway favor abortion and lie about their position in public, I cannot but feel like an exploited wretch on the plantation. Coincidently, Rush Limbaugh made the same remark describing the same kind of elitist party to crystallize the deep hypocrisy of the Republican elite. I was surprised at the vehemence with which Carlson criticized the establishment.

There is no question that the GOP establishment are embarrassed by believing Christians, condone abortion, approve of big government in general, and despise their base much as a carnival bear-baiter despises the animal he exploits and incites to react in public to provide him his livelihood.

The problem as you point out is the mask has now been ripped away and the whole of conservative middle America now understands that it has been exploited for generations. Worse, they are coming to understand that they and their country have been sold out. I do not concede that the elitists are animated by good motive. I believe they are opportunists and hypocrites. In other words, I discount any presentation of the GOP elite as a group which honestly believes that honest, constitutional conservatism is doomed to lose at the polls. I support this position from evidence of their stance on immigration. They cannot on the one hand claim demographics as the irresistible force which compels them to abandon conservatism and on the other hand move as they do, and as George Bush did, to open the gates and create the very demographics which they plead.

Their real sin is that they are parasites with guilty knowledge that they are trading off chunks of America for their personal enrichment. They cannot plead as liberals might that they think they are actually doing a greater good for the greater number, their rhetoric denies that. They know that they are consciously selling out America for their own personal enrichment. They know we are approaching the precipice, they know the economy is sailing onto the rocks, they know we are losing our position in the world, they know the American century is drawing to a close, they know we are losing our liberties at home, and they only collaborate in the disintegration.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,

which indeed appear beautiful outward,

but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

[Gene Eric]

A very nice condemnation of the bastards.

I suspect the GOP has become that excommunicated from the now Democrat-Communist party.

It’s late for me FRiend — the day is done, but güten tag to you!

[DPMD]

Is that so far fetched a vision?

With current rulers, not so far off. With GOP establishment rulers, that plus about 15-20 years.

It’s nearly a distinction without a difference. But by all means, let’s keep supporting the McCains, because, after all, if we don’t then the obamas win. So, in future elections, just fill in the blanks for the names.

Where does one draw the line? After the camps or before?
