Beware of the Republican Establishment

Between the town hall meetings and the tea party rallies, millions of Americans are taking to the streets to protest a government gone berserk. They are angry and determined to take their country back. But there are snakes in the grass intent on using this movement to return to power, not the people, but the Republican establishment. If this happens we lose everything, including our country.

The grassroots needs to be made aware of this treachery--while people are focused on Obama, we have people in the Republican Party undermining the conservative movement!!!

[iowamark]

Bay Buchanan worked for Mitt Romney against conservatives and before that for Pat Buchanan against all Republicans and she criticizes others for betraying conservatism??

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

We’ve known this for a long time now-—just look at the GOP hatchet men trying to bury Sarah Palin-—and failing.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Seems mighty hypocritical doesn’t it...

[peeps36]

She might be a hypocrite but I agree with what she is saying. We need real Americans to run who are not owned by the party elite.

[skully]

we have people in the Republican Party undermining the conservative movement!!!

One of the reasons we have Obama is because the Republican Party undermined the conservative movement in the 2008 primaries.

[blackie]

The RINO’s are attempting to make a comeback!

Stop them in their tracks!

Be Ever Vigilant!

Here's more: Why Is NRCC Backing Liberals? by John Gizzi 10/05/2009 Excerpts: The Republican in charge of his party’s national campaign strategy to retake the House of Representatives says his goal is “to retire Nancy Pelosi as speaker, nothing less,” in 2010. Scozzafava Controversy Sessions, who has had a better relationship with conservatives than several of his recent predecessors at the NRCC, also addressed recent criticism from the right about his committee’s support of State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, the GOP nominee in the special election in New York’s 23rd District for the seat of former Republican Rep. (and now Secretary of the Army) John McHugh. Along with her stands in favor of abortion and same-sex marriage, Scozzafava has been strongly criticized for her past acceptance of the ballot line of the Working Families Party, which has a close affiliation with the radical, scandal-ridden, community-organizing organization ACORN. (Scozzafava has recently said she would vote to deny federal funds to ACORN). Because of Scozzafava’s obvious liberalism, many conservative Republicans have bolted to support the Conservative Party nominee, Doug Hoffman, a local CPA. Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) recently endorsed Hoffman and American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene called on conservative contributors to withhold their donations to the NRCC because it is backing Scozzafava. Angered by this criticism, Sessions shot back that he had urged county GOP leaders in the 23rd District to “open the process and hold a series of debates between Republican candidates” before they selected a nominee for the November 3 special election and they did this. He strongly insisted that the NRCC had “absolutely nothing” to do with the nomination process beyond encouraging a more open procedure. “You may not like the closed process but that is the rule there and at least they did try to open it up with debates, in which nine candidates were included,” he said. In admitting Scozzafava’s liberal record on several issues, Sessions nevertheless said his committee would back her “because she is one more vote to make John Boehner speaker. Look, you cannot have a candidate with my conservative record or that of other Texas Republicans in every district in the country.” http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=33829

We have two parties, one wins, one loses.

Too many third party posters are undermining the the opportunity to block Obama in congress and to replace him in 2012

[sasportas]

Wrong beware. It is the libertarian types, and third party pushers, like the author of this thread, we should beware of. I say throw out the Rino’s and the squishy GOP leadership, and have a conservative Repub party.

All this third party hype is going to do is insure the left will remain in power by splitting the vote.

[marlon]

I heard today that Corzine who had been trailing his challenger Christy in polls for NJ Governor by about 14 points has now moved to a dead heat. I guess NJ realizes again that if we’re going to vote for a leftist with a shady background may as well go with the experts in the field and stay with the democrat.

Most of the Republican “leadership” would rather lose than allow conservative candidates.

[TheDailyChange]

AMEN, very astute observation!

Spot on...

[Bitsy]

we have people in the Republican Party undermining the conservative movement!!!

John McCain for one.

[Darren McCarty]

Marco Rubio, US Senate candidate from Florida, said it best.

"If you are unhappy with the Republican establishment, then let's get a new establishment,"

[KarlInOhio]

Most of the Republican “leadership” would rather lose than allow conservative candidates.

Conservatives actually expect things to get done, and that interfers with tee time.

[Hildy]

There’s a little good news...It looks like JD Hayworth is going to run against McCain. The only problem is that there’s a bunch of conservatives already backing Chris Simcox who was the leader of the MINUTEMEN and is running. He has baggage. He will lose against McCain. I think Hayworth is our shot.

[paulycy]

and have a conservative Repub party.

This is the only solution we have time for. If all fails in 2010 and 2012 then we will have nothing but time to form another celebrate our membership in the single Obama Fascist Party.

Bay Buchanan worked for Mitt Romney against conservatives and before that for Pat Buchanan against all Republicans and she criticizes others for betraying conservatism??

I recall she was also hooked up with the Ross Perot crowd (hosting a radio show on the UAW’s network!) back in the 90’s

[Palin Republic]

Palin was Pat Buchanan’s Alaska state director in 1996.
