Call them the Sabotage Republicans.
They have been busily at work in Virginia these last few weeks, sabotaging the gubernatorial campaign of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
[....]
Every time some Establishment GOP nominee loses the White House or a hot gubernatorial, Senate or other race — conservatives have been silent about this unending ability of Establishment Republicans to lose either close elections or win them by unnecessarily close margins..
Yet if one conservative — that would be Ken Cuccinelli this week — loses a race, Katie bar the door.
Worse, up until now not much has been made of the long, disgraceful trait of Establishment Republicans to demand party unity — unless they lose a primary or a convention. In which case they simply refuse to unite behind the winning conservative. And deliberately, with malice aforethought — actively seek to sabotage that conservative.
[....]
In fact, one of the real problems here — as exemplified by the Cuccinelli defeat — is that moderate Republicans not only refuse to pull together. They go out of their way to sabotage the conservative.
Say it again? That word is sabotage. Betrayal. The Establishment GOP goes out…of…its…way to sabotage. Spelled s-a-b-o-t-a-g-e.
Let’s name some names here, shall we?

The GOP at its heart is collectivist just like the Dems. See my tag line.
Great history lesson, too.
I actively worked in the 1964 Goldwater campaign, but I had completely forgotten about Rockefeller's Convention speech.
One more comment on Conservative betrayal by a chief of staff.....
Marco Rubio called for vigorous enforcement of current immigration laws when he ran for the Senate in 2010.
Then, just weeks after Rubio was elected, he hired a former immigration lawyer and Amnesty advocate to be his own chief of staff!
Yeah, except their idea of a "collective" is Skull and Bones, the Harvard Porcellians, and the New York Athletic Club.
Oh, excuse me -- I misspelled "Hahvuhd", Johnny Hayseed me.
The author needs to go back a lot farther than 1992, though.
In 1968 and 1976, the RiNO's backstabbed Ronnie.
In 1964, they backstabbed Barry.
In 1960, they backstabbed Barry and the Bob Taft Republicans. In 1952, they backstabbed everybody to the right of Owen Lattimore by bringing in Dwight Eisenhower to blindside the conservatives who wanted Bob Taft.
And who the hell knows before that. You could go back to the Mugwumps, I suppose.
We’re just making a list of those to remove. If we don’t get them this time, we’ll get them next time. Especially the senators. The Senate is not the fun place it used to be, where everything was done by unanimous consent and nobody was held accountable. Olympia Snowe is a good example. She liked being in the club but when it turned into (gasp!) a contentious legislative body, she wanted out (and if she didn’t remove herself, she would have been removed).
Senators are becoming more and more frustrated and more and more miserable which will mean more and more will likely retire. Because most of the old-timey guys and gals are gone. As of January 2015, there will have been 63 new senators since January 2007. That’s obviously 63%. And it may be higher if incumbents like Graham, McConnell, Cornyn, Graham, Landrieu, Cochran, etc. are replaced.
And so on. And on. And on. And on.
Pigs.
I repeat:
Get together, and run for local and county Republican COMMITTEE seats. Many of them go unfilled, they are low level, but they have a LOT of power. County Committee people elect the County Republican Chairmen. County Chairmen control policy and advance candidates for elective office.
Start also with local council seats and mayoral slots. These are brooderies for candidates for higher office.
REFUSE to contribute to the GOP. But DO contribute to INDIVIDUAL conservative Republicans.
Proof positive that an eggplant can serve as Secretary of Defense.
Ba-zing. Exactamundo. You just described what the immortal F. Clifton White did in 1964. Too bad he died soon after ..... hmmmm, has anyone ever looked at his passing as possible foul play? Of course, foul play has never happened. Ever.
Third Party, anyone?
As always, excellent post by Jeffery Lord.
This should be required reading for all conservatives.
I hope the fight now will remain out in the open - cockroaches hate the light.
White died in 1993.
Excellent!!!!!! But you have to remember Les Aspin, a narcissistic commie eggplant.
You’re too extreme with that newspaper posting. LOL!
BTTT!
