The Disgraceful Republican Cave-in on Loretta Lynch

The National Review ^ | April 25, 2015 | Andrew C. McCarthy

[Arthur McGowan]

The American People are VASTLY more depraved than the German People were in 1933.

Americans—even “conservatives”—think that people who are fans of sucking the brains out of babies should not only be allowed to walk around in the streets (i.e., not be locked up in mental hospitals), but SHOULD HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE.

In 1933 Germany, NOBODY would have campaigned for any public office on a platform of sucking the brains out of babies.

One spot of good news here.

National Review still has at least one Conservative on their payroll.

Good catch. FALSE FLAG SO THE NATIONALIZATION OF OUR POLICE CAN PROCEED UNDER LORETTA LYNCH WITH A GREAT EXCUSE CALLED 'BALTIMORE'...

It's pretty d*mn obvious this is NO coincidence.

[Digger]

Here's the bottom line. They all are whores & have sold out to the elites, either by campaign contributions or blackmail. Again I say this government is too entrenched with corruption in order to bring it back, therefor the only outcome is for it to collapse, which means all the sheeple suffer. We have lost the total ingredients to social order as we have lost the middle class. No nation survives w/o such.

Re: “These empty souls don’t elect themselves.”

Excellent point, and one I have only just recently begun to analyze and accept myself.

I've been screeching GOP “betrayal” on the Amnesty and massive legal immigration issues for the last ten years.

I was mistaken. These guys aren't betraying anyone. They actually endorse the principles of the Left on issue after issue, and, quite possibly, about 50% of rank-and-file Republican voters agree with them.

They lie because they know they can't win without the support of Conservatives.

And shame on me for not noticing and not understanding sooner.

Most prostitutes are honest. They, at the least, provide the service the john pays for. The republicans roll you. They promise you a good time until you pay [vote for them], then they slip you a Mickey Finn.

[Darksheare]

And then they vow to harm you.
Like Mitch McConnell did recently.

Thou hath said it.

We are well beyond point where we can hope for a top down electoral solution. The elections reflect the electorate. Pundits, pollsters, politicians who tell us that an election is won or lost because the conservative base stayed home, or because the Republican candidate (Dole McCain, Romney) were lackluster, or because the wrong running mate was chosen, or the candidate somehow muffed a debate, are misleading us.

We are losing elections because we have lost the electorate. Our problem is demographic. One can view the problem from the point of view of race as I often do, or one can view the problem as one of domination by the media, as I also often do, or one can view the problem as a function of our educational system, as I often do, but at the end of the analysis we all must admit that we are staking our political fortunes on a top down solution to a bottom-up problem.

Our system produces generation after generation of high school and liberal arts graduates who unsurprisingly vote as they were educated. They vote as they are exposed by the media. They certainly vote their race if they are not white. Republicans try to correct these tendencies with a television blitz over 60 or 90 days before a national election but the task is hopeless because the mountain is simply too high.

When we lose we blame the candidate. There was a lot wrong with Romney but let's consider the electoral landscape at the beginning of the campaign from his point of view. We know what his point of view was because he told us, 47% of the electorate is essentially bribed into the camp of the Democrat party. So Romney sits down with the likes of Karl Rove attempts to sliver off just enough to slide in. That approach is becoming increasingly unlikely. Yet what is a Romney to do?

He can go Ronald Reagan as Ted Cruz is now attempting to do but it is remarkable how much Ted Cruz is being opposed by the very same people in the Republican establishment who opposed Ronald Reagan. It is equally remarkable those people have affiliation to the Bush family. Follow the money, of which more later.

As long as the demographic/electoral landscape presents the obstacles noted above, it will remain a daunting task to reform the party or elect a conservative.

One further consideration, we should follow the money. It is clear to me that the establishment branch of the Republican Party sitting in Congress has sold out to K St. and Wall Street. We should review our stand on Citizens United and the entire rotten pay for play and crony capitalism game now going on in Washington. We cannot shut down the border because we cannot shut down K St. We cannot effect any conservative solutions which seem so obvious to us until we drive the money changers from the Temple.

We must think bottom-up.

Maybe Cruz will win.

[nathanbedford]

Towards the end of the second American Revolution Robert E Lee was asked if he thought the Confederacy would win. He replied, "we shall win if it be God's will and every man does his whole duty."

The real question is what was General Ulysses S. Grant saying around that time?

Indeed.

“These men (in government), in point of fact, are seldom if ever moved by anything rationally describable as public spirit; there is actually no more public spirit among them than among so many burglars or street-walkers. Their purpose, first, last and all the time, is to promote their private advantage, and to that end, and that end alone, they exercise all the vast powers that are in their hands….”

I read in the Clarion Ledger,Mississippi’s paper of the capital of the state, Saturday, that Thad Cochrane’s senior staffer was arrested for possesion, methampetimine, and precurson to the date rate drug, in Washington.
I wonder if these drugs are to control Thud, who seems to be operating on a whole, nutha, level, these days.
Thank you, good senator, for voting for a anarchist,.

[Jacquerie]

Agree.

The purpose of elections in our once republic has evolved. Where they were once the means by which everyone could participate in a free government, elections increasingly serve to identify our masters, and condone criminality.

Lucy pulled the football once again in 2014. I'll not be played the fool anymore.

Cruz and Cruz alone.

[ronnie raygun]

Lynch is worse than the tephlon preisdent in that she is not only black but an arrogant black women. She will cause much damage if this is possible. THANK YOU GOP you bunch of DELIBERATE scumsucking feckless balless dirtbags

[Theodore R.]

Totally predictable cave-in; all the GOP cave-ins now are fully predictable. Everett McKinley Dirksen often caved for LBJ too, as KY Mitch does with Obama.

[Theodore R.]

Maybe Cruz will win

Which of these words is the most likely: "maybe" or "win"?
