How The Professional Political Class Benefit By Making Us Angry
The Conservative Tree House ^ | Sundance

Posted on 12/28/2015 2:37:09 PM PST by mbrfl

The UniParty, Democrats and Republicans in legislative agreement, was most recently evidenced within the construct of the 2015/2016 Omnibus spending and Tax Bill.

Frustrated fiscal conservatives once again gnashing teeth as the insufferable DC Politburo highlight their intentional disconnect from the electorate; Pelosi -> Boehner -> Ryan? It matters not a lick of difference who holds the gavel when the bell is rung for chow-time at the taxpayer trough.

It's as if the GOPe really don't care how angered you get. Why is that?…

…. Mark Levin isn’t talking about it. Sean Hannity isn't talking about it. Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham are not talking about it, yet it remains one of the biggest structural benefits to Team Jeb Bush in the 2016 primary presidential race:

Frustrated Conservatives Leaving The Republican Party

Independent political registration is the fastest growing base of electoral voters, and that plays nicely into the hands of the GOPe who are working diligently to avoid accountability for their progressive agenda.

Multiple states have what’s called "closed primary" races. Meaning only those voters registered with a party, who has a candidate on the ballot, are allowed to vote in the Presidential Primary Election, or PPE. Those state voters only get to vote for the candidate registered with the same party of their affiliation.

A few states are "Open Primary" races. .... However, truly "open primary states" are actually quite rare...

....

What this creates is a situation where frustrated GOP voters denounce the activity of the GOPe party and drop their Republican Registration. Sound familiar? It should, there are hundreds of thousands -perhaps millions- of conservatives who have changed party affiliation to "independent" or "other" because they are angry with the progressive big government advocacy of the modern Republican Party.

It’s the only reason I’m still an “R”.

A very important reminder about why conservatives need to stay registered Republican at least through the primary so we can vote for the most conservative or at least non-GOPe candidate. Otherwise, we’ll be getting Yeb! or Marco! in November - which is exactly what the GOPe is counting on. Thanks for posting this.

Thad Cochran was just fine courting Dem voters.

The writer is either too stupid to understand the numbers - or - knows the numbers and is attempting to conceal them. If they had the actual numbers, then present them. It kinda matters whether the numbers showing a 2% increase - or 22%.

This phrasing is like that used by solar power advocates or Obama's Labor Dept.

The bible says be angry (at things for which it is suitable) and yet do not sin.

Trouble is, most people go off on things that are more related to their own pride than to what God is desiring and not getting. And this can get quite ugly.

If we got mad only like God gets mad, then none of this silly worldly baiting would have any effect on us.

Speaking of open primaries, VA has an open primary and VA GOP is requiring a loyalty oath to vote.

I don’t remember a loyalty oath in the Mississippi Republican primary when the GOPe was encouraging Democrats to vote for Cochran.

It feeds the idea that if we only got the wrong group of people out and the right group of people in, our problem would be solved.

But if they all collude on being the wrong group of people, that becomes only a recipe for chasing our own tails.

There is a supernatural answer and that is for the wrong group of people to become the right group of people, by means of worshiping the Lord in spirit and in truth. “Maybe” the GOP would be more conducive to this than Democrats are. They seem to be closer. But again maybe God may pull a complete surprise on us.

There is a freeper out there with a name in reference to a greek philosopher diogenes. Not being educated in greek folklore, I googled it. Diogenes wandered the streets of athens like a vagabond with a lamp. Evidently he was looking for an honest man.

There’s a reason the queer in the whitehut compares “herself” to old Abe Lincoln.

"the 'open' only pertains to off year elections and NOT the Presidential Primary"

First I've ever heard of this. If true, Missouri must be one of the exceptions. Party affiliation is not recorded anywhere. In a primary, you are asked, "Which ballot do you want?"

I no longer consider myself a Republican, but I can still vote in their primary (and I do - usually against incumbents).

“A very important reminder about why conservatives need to stay registered Republican at least through the primary so we can vote for the most conservative or at least non-GOPe candidate.”

yeah, i switch from Unaffiliated to Pub a few weeks before caucus/primary if there’s someone like Donald Trump whom I want to support and then i switch back.
