And you guys are STILL falling for that old tried and true TRICK?

Sigh

Well Jonah can keep tweeting pics of his dog, seems to be about all he has the capacity to understand.

Thank God for this crack up/break up - end of the RINO era! Good riddens

Rush "gets" the GOPe elites...

Well, stir in this detail into your salad of understanding .... the elites (as in, American Enterprise Institute) get their rice bowls filled by the Chamber and the Fortune 500.

In fact, one of their high-status Ph.D. drones was in the room, holding the proxy of the Masters of the Universe/Owners of the GOP-e and doing business in their behalf, when the deal was struck in 2008 by which the MoU/OotGOP-e did their deal with the 'Rat Party, proxied by a Harvard Ph.D.-ess from the Left's policy-wonk Hive Mind gaggle, that would allow the Chamber/BusinessRoundtable/Fortune 500 to throw their employees' health plans under the bus and flow all those policy premiums to their bottom lines.

The employees would go under the bus by Vast Corrupt Political Deal, and be undertaken by the CPUSA, aka the Democratic Party Hive Mind. They would become hostages of SovietCare, which would own them forever, while the GOP-e MoU would flow monies endlessly to their bottom lines and have their own medical needs taken care of by elite private medicine .... in Singapore if need be.

The deal is detailed (names, dates, places) by former New York Times editor in chief Howell Raines, writing in the October, 2008, issue of Conde Nast's Portfolio magazine. Raines lost his Timesman epaulets in a reporting scandal but evidently took his Rolodex of highly-placed sources with him and used it to break the story before the 2008 election which elevated Obama for coronation and immaculation.

This corrupt political deal is the reason why the GOP-e has done nothing about repealing or defunding Obamacare. Obamacare is as much the bastard child of the bastard MoU types as it is of the Communist 'Rats. They did it for the money.

The Letter of Lentulus is an epistle supposedly written by Publius Lentulus to the Roman Senate, giving a physical and personal description of Jesus. Publius Lentulus was, according to the Deeds of the Divine Augustus, a Roman Consul during the reign of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD), and is said to have been Governor of Judea before Pontius Pilate.wikipedia...

Any connection to your screen name?

I remember Tyrrell's article very well, and it was a long time ago. The names of some of the power brokers have changed since then but the institutions have not. Most of them are conservative only in the sense that they would prefer business as usual to something else. The ideals, the abstractions that to most of us seem "conservative" are nearly irrelevant in this context.

For them there is, as the Democrat activists and the media discovered to their delight, a comfort in being in a position of opposition: one can say anything, however radical, and never be called to account for the results. It is that comfort zone that the persistent "Blame Bush" theme attempts to maintain. It is the comfort zone that establishment Republicans such as Boehner and Ryan find themselves in as well: despite being in the majority, they can't do anything and would rather be blamed for failure than blamed for the results of success. Everybody on the inside wins and the rest of us lose.

As things appear to be developing, there emerges only one truly establishment candidate, even if both sides loathe her, only one who will be satisfied to take her graft and leave the comfort zone in place. That's Hillary's hope, and it's her only hope.

What we are seeing, but fail to see, is that ordinary people think the Republican partisans are making obnoxious fools of themselves and will take their vote elsewhere ... anywhere but to a bunch of lunatics attempting mass political suicide which they see as continuing into any putative Republican Presidency to the utter detriment of the country they profess to save.

In other words, pundits, talking heads, dyed-in-the-wool conservatives, etc. you are simply making the case for someone more reasonable who appears sane even if the truth is otherwise ... say hello to President Bernie ... because you followed your ideology instead of common sense, you destroyed any and all chances of ever taking the WH again.

Interesting. . .

Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
