Via the Right Scoop. There’s nothing here that you haven’t heard before, but since “true conservatives” are in RINO-stomp mode towards Paul Mirengoff and John McCormack and Jim Geraghty and a bunch of other people who were conservatives in good standing as of, say, four days ago, let’s make sure the stealth liberal known as Charles Krauthammer takes his licks too.
The only part of CK’s monologue that I disagree with is the “capricious” part: I’m sure Palin and DeMint made their endorsements with due deliberation, knowing how much it would please their base. (They certainly took long enough to pull the trigger.) And from a philosophical point of view, endorsing O’Donnell is a win/win/win for them.
If O’Donnell beats Castle and then shocks Coons in November, they’ll get all the credit; if Castle pulls it out and sends O’Donnell packing, they can at least tell their base that they were on the side of the angels; if, as is most likely, O’Donnell beats Castle and then gets steamrolled by Coons, well, the beauty of “true conservatism” is that the highest priority is defeating RINOs, not Democrats.
They won the important fight, and without Castle in the Senate, the GOP brand will remain pure and principled and therefore well positioned for the eventual “true conservative” takeover of Congress. Like the man said, better 30 Marco Rubios than 60 Arlen Specters.

syn·o·nym
/ˈsɪnənɪm/ Show Spelled[sin-uh-nim] Show IPA
–noun
1.
a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language...
I know we live in an everybody-gets-a-trophy world... but there are no prizes for second running up in politics. It hasn’t worked in the past because the majority of Republicans that were elected in the past were not conservatives. Plain and simple. If they are this time... it’ll be different. Personally I’m optimistic. But, not crazy.
And, I’m old. I don’t feel like waiting 2 more, 3 more, N more election cycles before ANY other party than the Democrats control the congress.
It is bigger than that RM....
Glenn Beck told us to find our voice, obviously we did and they can't stand it
The Beltway-Establishment-Blue Blood-RulingClass-Parlimentarians can't handle the concept that we have a voice, and are willing to change the direction of the country without their guidance. The hubris of them to think they are the pass thru, ditto that the RNC.
Look at them all caterwauling its being against the Tea Parties all the way to now trying to sway the outcome to stay with the us vs. them RINOs...
In fact it didn't start with the Tea Parties, it started with Joe the Plumber. An average working guy that got these people and could talk in simple terms, He didn't need a PHD to see through Obama's Marxism and with more degrees than a thermometer, half these pogues didn't see it or voted for him! ( paging Peggy what's her face...)
I got to tell you I am sick of them all and a big pile of the talk show host as well.
The problem is we have to work our butts off to keep what we have and roll back what has been done in the last 20 months and unfortunately, we still have Obama and a bunch of RINO's to deal with. This will take years.
If we didn't have responsibilities, Going Galt in Alaska off the Grid would be the alternative. Maybe the responsibilities will get many off their duff to do the hard work of trying to implement change back to a Constitutionally Limited Republic.
Geez, AP can be a snarky douche (a bit like a liberal). As for Krauthammer, this is no surprise. He may be “smart”, but he’s firmly entrenched in the Beltway Ruling Class establishment.
I made an error. I apologize.
Let me say.
Happy 1st year aniversary.
There are a lot of anti O’Donnell trolls out. A lot of people have signed up.
You signed up 9/14/09, which is one year ago today.
Just a bit sick of fighting with all the new people talking about electability.
You betcha. And Charles gets really bent out of shape when the conservatives dare to challenge the RINOs. He hates Sarah and all like her.
Re-stacking the congress with more "moderates" and RINOs will not get you what you are looking for, instead the country will continue to die a very slow and painful death... if need be, I would rather it collapse fast and hard so we can try a Constitutional "reset".
“When you put it that way, I’d rather have 30 Marco Rubios *because* Arlen Specters turn into, well, Arlen Specter. What good is a majority of Arlen Specters to anybody??”
well, if you’re a Scottish law loving, double party switching, ancient, white knuckling dinosaur fan, it’s pretty appetizing.
the Moocher. Peggy the Moocher.

Sad thing is, she was right. With no job or paycheck, a lot of people don’t have to worry about filling their gas tank or paying their mortgage.
He does because he is a cultural elitist.
I have had this conversation with a conservative (politically) Jewish friend of why many Jews will not potentially vote for Sarah, not that they are cultural elitist, but they can't relate the likes of Sarah culturally.
They ( the cultural elitist ) beltway types Can't or never have or never will do some of the Palin's life style choices below:
1.) Ride a snowmobile
2.) Hunt and Shoot and actually eat the meat you shot
3.) Fly a Seaplane ( the last politican that did was "Bee-bee" Rebozo, he had a Sea Bee, that was eon's ago )...
4.) Drive a Pickup (yes the Palins have a Dodge Ram)
5.) Actuall run a small business
It is a "Go West young Man or Women" mentality that they don't have and don't get vs. their education geared them towards being the "Great Oz" of the "process".
Process we don't need no stinking process, and they can't stand to hear it...
Krauthammer, at the end of the day, is pure Beltway. So he often comes out on the wrong end of topics such as amnesty and upstart candidates.
The problem with the polling showing Castle in the lead in a hypothetical November matchup is that he has not been attacked by the Dem yet as an out-of-touch DC insider - which will significantly shave his lead. Realize that incumbency - and especially incumbency voting for the job-killing Obama agenda - is a potential liability this year, unless you are from a safe congressional district. When Russ Feingold is at risk, you know a sea change is happening. But those inside the Beltway either refuse to or don't want to see that.
Good for you!, These days whenever someone steps forward and does what is right, even as they are wiping some egg off their face, they gain a lot of respect AND credibility... :-)
Charles is so often cool and correct but he really gets worked up (and wrong) about Sarah and us hard core conservatives. Just as you said, there must be more to it than simple politics.
I'm not Jewish, and those things you listed are among the reasons I love Sarah. I guess that's a little confirmation of your theory.
Put your tail between your legs, and get out of the way, Krauthammer, some of us aren’t through fighting yet.
K has been ON FIRE in his dead-on analysis of the boy-king Obambi

“Put your tail between your legs, and get out of the way, Krauthammer, some of us aren’t through fighting yet.”
He can’t put his tail between his legs and slink away. He’s wheelchair bound.
