I think in someways he is right. The republican party is made up of the eastern elite, country club set and the conservative wing. Sarah represents the conservative wing and the elites can’t have that cancer in their party as it would kill them off.
Well said. He’s the only game in town at the moment and he MUST win!
We discussed this several times but I was thinking about it again this morning. I know what IS, but McCain’s time was passed. It was Romney’s time and McCain roobed him and us. With Romney’s financial expertise and other free market experience during this plummeting economy, Republicans’ would probably be sitting pretty at this moment. He was the one we needed, you are so right, LE!
I will never forgive Huckabee for that.
Nancy Kerrigan was beaten with a pipe for less.
Where is the vigilante justice?
Over the past 15 years of listening, I've heard Rush refer to the Country Club Republicans many times, mostly with regard to Arlen Spector and other R politicians and sometimes those in the press. I have understood the notion of "Country Club Republicans" since the days of Reagan's first campaign for the presidency (Reagan was NOT a country club Republican) and understood why Reagan's presidential victory was atypical and an anomaly long before I began to listen to Rush. Rush's frequently mentioning them (the country clubbers) as a problem to conservatives, only increased my admiration for him, because it was a strong point of agreement. I never heard Rush mention Brooks in that regard, but I haven't listened daily for years (and have gone weeks not being able to listen) like I once did and wouldn't be surprised.
Thanks for the explanation.
There, that’s even better and more accurate, LE! : )
So well said, RG! They're fools and should avoid getting too close to those people. How many are the ways the left ruins either the conservative message, or our ability to get it out.
Whatever...
What do you say?
A classic case of projection.
:-)
Brooks, you're a dumbass!
I won’t ever forgive Huckabee either. As others have noted, Mikey doesn’t understand just how hated he is right now, and how much blame he is going to be carrying forever for the Obama Presidency.
We are where we are, on the edge of another Jimmy Carter abyss, because the Republican Party nominated a man that never won a primary when it mattered, prefers Democrats to his own party, and has run the most ineffective campaign since Bob Dole in 96, with the worst aspects ofthe Bush 41 1992 campaign thrown into for seasoning.
You do realize the article by David Brooks you linked is a hit piece on Romney? Read it. It gives him faint praise in a few sentences then goes on a long diatribe against Romney. It is a typical liberal hit piece.
What is amusing is that Brooks shares your distate of Romney (and by extension his supporters). How does it feel to be in the same boat as the liberal David Brooks you claim to dislike?
Read the Brooks article past the first sentence you excerpted. It sounds just like your past posts about Romney. Enjoy! Road to Nowhere
No but I found the transcript on CNN. Romney comes in half way down the page and cleans Dobbs clock on the economy. Dobbs is so pissed about it the next days transcript he is still slamming Romney, at first he says Romney was wrong then he tries to act like Romney's ideas were his so he can sound smart.
Dobbs vs. Romney Oct. 7 http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0810/07/ldt.01.html
LOL. Reading comprehension was never the strong suit of Romney haters like Diogenesis.
