Cain is going the same way as many other Republican “leaders.” Party over principle. They know in their hearts that they’re in the wrong, just don’t want to lose their places in the party.
They want to claim the banners of the Reagan Revolution or the tea party rebellion but are unwilling to give up their places in the party power structure. They do not want to be seen as rebels against their own party, even if the party is leading us down the primrose path to destruction. Even Newt appears to be giving up his place in the “Republican Revolution” to now loyally holding for the company line, regardless of principle. Jim DeMint likewise. Even Palin is giving up some of her rogueness and is now surrendering to the corrupt crony capitalist bastards that she famously railed against just yesterday.
Not going to say they’re now RINOs and I still like them a lot, but I am mighty disappointed to see them cave so easily. Didn’t have much faith in Hannity resisting the big tent liberal/progressive march to totalitarianism, but will be greatly disappointed to see Rush and the Great One fold their tents in misguided party loyalty.
The fear of Obammunism has them all running scared.
To hell with that rubbish. Vote conservative. Elect as many Reagan/tea party conservatives into every local, state and federal offices as is humanly possible!! We keep the “leaderless” tea party rebellion going regardless of the backsliding Republican “leaders.” No one ever claimed that the tea party had to be loyal to the “GOP-e.” Hell, they’re the ones we’re rebelling against!!
The truth is Obama is a clown. A petty Marxist tyrant and useful idiot of the highest order. And we all know this. Even the other side knows this. They are now sadly recognizing that he is not their savior. Not the one they’ve been waiting for. I look for some of their leaders and congress critters to soon come to the realization that Obama must go. He should not be feared. He should be shamed, shunned and driven out of office like Nixon or impeached, tried and incarcerated.
We do not retreat, we reload!!
Here’s how we win as tea party rebels:
Turn out and vote straight conservative in November and in all future elections. Do not cave for the liberal RINOS.
Take control of local and state governments to free our people and demand a full restoration of the tenth amendment. Return the power to the states and the people. Build on our conservative majority in the house and retake the senate!
Don’t be afraid of the corrupt treasonous Obama. Fight the bastard! He’s now blatantly ignoring/bypassing the constitution and the congress and the will of the people on a daily basis. As each week and month passes, he now commits yet another horrendous act and another count that can be added to the articles of impeachment. Demand that each of these high crimes and abuses of office by Obama gets a full congressional investigation. Demand our media reports the truth. Report it for them. Tie the bastard up in congress, in the courts, in the media and in the court of public opinion. Demand that he be impeached and removed, then charged, tried, convicted and jailed!!
Protest and rally every chance we get!! Turn out like never before to vote straight conservative!!
Demand that we impeach and remove corrupt, treasonous, overreaching, abusive executives, constitution trampling judges and justices, and corrupt high level appointees at every level. Vote out all corrupt, crony capitalists from their elected posts. Recall the corrupt governors and other corrupt officeholders all across the land. Impeach, recall, investigate, charge, try and incarcerate the corrupt, constitution trampling, bribe taking crony capitalist bastards!!
Restore our constitutional limits on government, restore the the constitutional balance of powers, defrock the black robed injustices, dump socialism and crony capitalism and restore our God given inalienable individual rights!! Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity!!
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
We are the resistance!!
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
I will not go to my maker with the blood of millions of innocent unborn children on my hands or vote for a man who would willingly and wantonly deprive me or my children of our God given liberty. I will not vote for or support an abortionist/liberal/progressive/statist like Mitt Romney. Period!!
I've got a lot of respect for your position, Jim. And I appreciate your thoughtful response; do you not think these people sincerely believe Romney would be better than Obama? I do. Cain's response wasn't a shuck and jive routine, it was a thoughtful response to the notion that we should continue to disdain the likely nominate, don't you think? I sincerely do, and it isn't because I hate conservatism or the Republic or because I am a party "hack"...and while I don't think Romney will be our Savior (there was only one of those!), it is because I remember the days of Nixon's wage-freezing and Carter's inflation and foreign policy failures and I see Obama doing a worse job than both of those guys times ten! :)
Reagan worked within the party structure to affect change, and I appreciate that notion and example.
I agree 100% with you that we should change things from the bottom up...but we also have a 2012 election coming in less than 200 days, and we'll probably have an electable choice between two men.
Staying out of the game hardly makes us players, doesn't it?
Just thought I'd respond, and thanks again for what you said...I know your words are expressed with passion.
