Ann has been dating too many liberals and hanging with rinos to understand the voter backlash against a liberal like Romney is the same anger than put a record number of republicans in congress in 2010.
We’ve been biding our time and eagerly await the smack-down of the establishment’s candidate.
The complete destruction of the establishment rino wing of the republican party is the outcome I hope happens in this or the next election cycle.
They really don't directly participate in party operations.
The "country clubbers" pretty much provide organizational structure. The "young republicans" claim they do the boots on the ground stuff.
Then there are the Party Professionals who make it their occupation to run campaigns and groom candidates.
Those folks AND the candidates probably make up the greater body of the people you think to be the "establishment". There aren't all that many of them BTW.
Some analysts have begun referring to them as "the media establishment" to differentiate them from Real Republicans.
Not to read them out of the party but the "media establishment" does not share many of the values of the social, fiscal, defense and other types of Conservatives who make up the broad base of the Republican voters.
Well, guess I just did read them out of the party!
