the leadership of the party has fundraised off its opposition to Obamacare in two campaign cycles, but has never aggressively sought to oppose it legislatively.

Worse, the leadership has aggressively sought through legislative shams to deceive Main Street. The leadership through its duplicity has permitted a vacuum to grow within the party and when that vacuum was filled with Main Street representatives like Ted Cruz who actually aggressively opposed Obamacare legislatively the leadership undermined that effort and damaged the brand of the party.

Still worse, the whole pattern of duplicity made plain in the Obamacare scenario is but representative of the fraud perpetuated on the faithful of the party by its leadership on issue after issue for year after year. The Republican leadership has made hypocrisy an art form.

The degree of hypocrisy having become so transparent, the leadership having declined even to go through the motions to disguise its disdain for its own faithful, the Republicans of Main Street are left with no option but to revolt even if only for their own self-respect.

But the revolt of course is larger than that, it is over nothing smaller than the survival of the Republic itself and the flickering flame of liberty which, except for a few brave souls fighting the establishment on Obamacare, is fresh out of patriots in Washington.

I’m curious about something:

Let’s say that we get a best-case scenario in 2014.
The GOP-e gets it’s collective butt handed to them in the primaries and TEA party candidates sweep in and give Repubs a majority in the Senate and hold it in the House.

That would mean a lot of big money donors would be “marginalized” as a result. They’re used to having influence and I’m sure that they would not sit idly by on the sidelines. Would they (the big money donors) make a big push for one of their own for 2016, creating a juggernaut campaign for someone like Jeb Bush?

My fear is that the media would glom on to that and conservatives would find themselves fighting a two-front war in 2016... against the GOP-e and the media (McCain 2008 redux).

What say you?
