Good riddance to George Will
americanthinker.com ^ | 6/29/16 | James Lewis

Posted on 06/29/2016 2:06:35 PM PDT by floozy22

I like and respect George Will, and over the years I've been one of his fans. With the rise of Donald Trump, Will has decided to resign from the GOP, along with Mitt Romney and the other folks we might call "decorative conservatives" -- the people who look good on the outside, but who have none of the fire in the belly that marked Teddy Roosevelt or Lincoln -- not to mention the Founders, who were pretty robust and argumentative.

I believe Mr. Will has a genuine distaste for what may become Trump Conservatism. Trump represents a kind of happy warrior style of American politician, similar to Harry Truman and Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt. It's obviously too low-class for Will, Romney and Jeb Bush, who are all too delicate for the political blood sport that the Left has imposed on our politics. Nothing is too low for the Left. Literally nothing.

The national GOP has been in decline for years, running decrepit candidates like Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney -- who actually did flinch in the last debate with Obama, as Trump points out. Candidates like Dole and McCain were picked for their seniority, which is what made them weak and doddering candidates.

Is Will really gone?

Now deep-six his lunch buddy, Krauthammer.

Wolves in sheeps’ clothing.

Hahaha! Good for the first Mrs. Will!

I can’t imagine any woman—not even a WAPO slut—wanting to engage in pleasures of the flesh with little Georgie Will!

Thanks so much for the email addy, Seenenuf.

I was unaware of this particular "comments@foxnewsinsider.com" target for emails with legitimate gripes. I'll send a copy of my blue-dart email addressed to "The Five" panel to this addy also.

Folks, read my no-holds-barred post re: "The Five" # 39 upthread!

Krauthammer calls Trump "appalling" but calls Crazy Bernie the Socialist "lovable." Again, Trump shines the light on people we all thought were like-minded, believing in smaller government, individual liberty, personal responsibility - conservative principles. Now we know - they aren't genuine conservatives, or genuine anything.

They talked-the-talk to get fat paychecks, and in the process enabled the donor/establishment class to just about destroy America, our constitution, and destroy freedom. Reagan said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Right now, freedom is a lot less than one generation away from extinction.

Last few sentences of the article are the best:

Trump isn't perfect, and Americans will keep a wary eye on anybody in power. But it's hard to see any worse than Carter-Clinton-Obama. Somehow the GOP establishment has become inured to the stench of corruption and self-dealing that we are seeing in the capital today. I believe it is much worse than we can even imagine.

We need a good purge, and I'm not choosy about the label on the box. Let the exodus begin.

Teddy wasn’t a Conservative and neither was Abe.

And so the point stands, because Trump isn't really either. He's just adopted a couple conservative positions.

Yeah, it’s hilarious and sums Jeb up in about 3-5 seconds.

I wrote to Special Report and told them that since George Will has no respect for the will of Republican voters, I have no reason to respect or listen to his voice, so I will be turning the channel upon sight of his ugly face.

In this race it’s US against them. George Will is one of THEM.

I wrote to them to. That Juan Williams is insufferable and won’t stop blabbering stupidity. No response.

You are right. There was a time when it was my favorite program pre-Trump. When Trump appeared on the scene, Bushbot Perino went to the dark side. Gutfeld’s main objective always is to show us how funny he is.

Now the only time the show is worth watching is when Watters or Tucker Carlson are subbing someone.

Unfortunately, Whoraldo Rivera sits on one of The Five panel chairs much more frequently than good-guys Tucker and Watters.

Rivera is another stale mouthy leftist know-it-all who, like Juan, is instrumental in dragging this discussion program down to oblivion when he sits in as a sub.

It is no more than pure jealousy of Donald Trump.

WHoraldo is even worse, because he pretends to be a republican and claims he loves Trump. The most dangerous enemy is within your own sphere.

These phonies who call themselves “CONSERVATIVES” or worse yet “Constitutional Conservatives” have accomplished absolutely nothing!

Obamacare defunded?
Trillion dollar foreign trade deficit theft reduced?
Illegals mass deported?
Wall built?
National debt reduced?
Unvetted Muslim immigrants stopped?
Food stamp recipients reduced?
ISIS defeated?
Carnage of innocent Americans by jihadis under control?
Cheap foreign workers on H1-B visa’s reduced?
(Cruz is on video pushing for 500% increase)
Veterans getting speedy healthcare?
Middle class taxes reduced?
Abortions reduced?

NOTHING! ZERO! NADA!

The self proclaimed constitutional conservatives are as ineffective as a castrated rooster.

Your “conservatives” are as useless as a castrated rooster.
See my post #79.
