Hip-deep condescension from another GOP-e scribe.
Stuff it, Kurt.
Well, Kurt, you could start by honoring your word and supporting the unwashed masses', those gun toten', tobaccy chewen', Bible carryen', red necked raciss, xenophobic rubes' very own---chosen candidate:
DONALD JOHN TRUMP!!!
What’s interesting about this post is that in clearly pointing out the problem of the GOPe while disavowing the common perceived solution (Trump), this guy has unleashed the kind of blind devotion of the trumpites that gives the rest of us some real hesitation.
I’ll vote for Cruz in my primary, and I’ll vote for Trump in the general if it comes to that, because we can’t go on the way we’ve been going. I know Cruz has done things I don’t like, but I also know that Cruz has taken fire politically for trying to do things that need to be done. I know Trump has pointed out real problems (immigration, trade); I have no idea what Trump will do politically, because he has not political track record. But I do know every other “outsider” who’s captured the imagination of the disillusioned has, once in power, turned out poorly.
Perot? He was in the race, out of the race, then in the race again, in a fashion half-assed enough to do nothing other than help Bubba get the office.
Jesse Ventura? A whack job almost from the very start - Minnesota must be so proud with a legacy of him, Al Franken, the first Muslim congressman, and Marco Rubio as electoral triumphs
Arnold? Talked a good game as a “fiscal conservative, social moderate” - then turned into another squish Democrat stooge when the spit hit the fan. Now he’s endorsing Kasich - there’s a surprise.
The Donald? Who knows? - well, apparently other than the true believers who fill in the blanks with what they would do if they were the one in office, much like the Obamabots filled the gaps in that empty suit. Trump has laid out an outline of a number of key problems, but what he’ll do about them is something I’d like to have a track record on: he’s already begun to hedge on immigration, and apparently even if he assisted on the dissection of a pre-born human being that wouldn’t be enough to inspire some doubts about Planned non-Parenthood. But if the choice is Hilary, yeah, I’ll go with the hopes of those with no doubts about Trump’s suitability for the Presidency, even if I have mine.
Perhaps the writer of this statement is the vulgar human troll!
I do not like it when writers present unsupported assertions. Do not believe that he has any evidence other than the Harpies complaining and criticizing the Donald out of context to suit their own biases and prejudices.
They should spend more time getting to know Donald Trump, and trying to get over their insane jealously.
Oh, ok. So the answer is to reintegrate us, I see.
So the fact that they are quoting a song that makes unrepentant evil look edgy and cool, while their point is, oh I don’t know, “trust us”?? perhaps?!
Feck off! Seem an appropriate response, I think.
I agree with that fact.
To throw all of that fine work (3 running for president, dumping House leadership and increasing numbers in the body, and winning the Senate and numerous State Houses) for a liberal North East Democrat seems pretty f@#$ing stupid to me.
But some have bitten the shiny lure and are about to get pulled up onto the boat and get gaffed.
How many more Rino/Liberal presidential candidates will it take losing before some finally get the message?
But sure, lets go with Donny the Democrat Donor.
What could go wrong?
heh.
Supporters of CPAC are just plain dumb, I stopped giving them any attention as soon as they supported the New World Order agenda and the GOPe.
Good article. It is absolutely true that the GOP has been off living in its own head for a long time. I attribute this not only to the longstanding tendency of all politicians to forget who elected them once they get into office, but to the fact that bad GOP leadership in Congress during the Obama years gave them the feeling that there was no point in even trying to oppose the uni-party policy consensus.
Obama ignored the legislative bodies in any case and pretty much took to ruling by fiat - things such as his immigration orders, for example, or even his attempts to interfere in local things like policing and criminal justice - and nobody stood up on their hind legs and fought back or even did more than make a polite murmur of objection. This is the thing that has clearly made the electorate, both Dem and GOP, think that the US form of government is over, the rule of law doesn’t apply anymore, and we might as well dissolve the legislature and go to one-man ruie, since that was what Obama tried and pretty much got away with. Now they just want the dictator to be on their side.
Of course, dictators never are on the side of anybody but themselves, as everybody throughout history has discovered a little too late. A recent example is the voters who elected the haranguing, irrational populist Hugo Chavez in VZ, and are now living in hunger and want under his successor while the late Hugo’s daughter flaunts her status as one of the four richest women in the world with the billions of dollars that Chavez funneled to her out of VZ.
I thought it couldn’t happen here, but it just might, as the consequence of GOP toleration of Obama’s eight years of unpunished, unrestrained lawlessness and contempt for democratic institutions.
This is the kind of post that seals the fate of any chance of uniting behind anyone at all.
Trump voters will stay home because they have had enough of the insults.
I will stay home if this does not stop now. I am not alone.
The writter did a good job outlining the issues.
Now he would just grow up and stop calling Trump supporters and Trump vile names.
Kurt made some good points, but also obviously wanted to make it clear that he's still in tight with The Conservative Movement™ - he forget to work in "Democrats are the real racists", but all the other signs are there.
“This election is the Republican Altamont, where conservatives got knifed by the Hell’s Angels. It’s our own fault too – the GOP teased its base, looked down upon it, lied to it, and when it turned out it wasn’t playing games and pulled a blade the establishment wasn’t ready.”
If the “establishment wasn’t ready” then how did the
conservatives get stabbed when they “pulled a blade” on
the establishment?
“Altamont”
That was a funny show. My favorite part was when Paul Kantner
was whining about getting punched in the face.
Even though I grew up Heavy Metal with long hair I
never liked those In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 60’s hippies. They were
just a bunch of drugged out looser communist punks.
We don’t need your sympathy, Kurt.
We’re EVIL AND PROUD.
BWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Schlicter claims Trump is phallocentric when in fact it was Rubio who introduced the question about the size of Trump’s hands and hinted Trump was small elsewhere. Trump was responding to that.
Trump is a GOOD thing, not a bad one. The GOP must first be destroyed before it can be born-again.
Article has some interesting analysis about why people are mad.
I read the entire piece. Very insightful.
He gets our location.
Donaldites is so old testament
Donalists is more up to date, more relevant
The sneering is dense with this one.
