GOP leaders -- Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John Boehner, Karl Rove and others -- as well as establishment Republicans have no idea how livid Americans are with them.
Republican leaders are in a panic because they have lost control of the Republican Party.
Grassroots constitutional conservatives are inside the Citadel, and are poised to take over.
All across the country -- in the Northeast, the South, the West -- Americans feel betrayed by Republican politicians. Last night’s election results show that the grassroots anger is directed at more than just the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Democrats.
Christine O’Donnell’s inspiring upset in Delaware, Ovide Lamontagne’s populist and improbable surge in New Hampshire, Carl Paladino’s trouncing of Rick Lazio in New York -- and previous primary wins by Sharron Angle, Ken Buck, Joe Miller, etc. -- all have been the result of the grassroots uprising against big government and the ‘ruling class,’ and in spite of the GOP establishment.
Never before in American history has a movement made such momentous change in such a short period of time.
As Reagan said in 1976, Americans want new leaders unfettered by old ties and old relationships.
The symbolically stupid decision last night by the National Republican Senatorial Committee not to fund Christine O’Donnell’s general election campaign, which it reversed this morning only after a massive grassroots uproar, and Karl Rove’s meltdown on Fox’s Hannity show will only fuel further primary challenges to GOP political leaders.
Current GOP leaders not ‘retired’ in 2010, will be in 2012 and 2014, and can join their former colleagues, such as Trent Lott, on the K Street lobbying circuit. And, they should get used to saying, ‘Majority Leader DeMint.’
“GOP Leaders Have Lost Control of the Party”
That’s the idea.
Straight and to the point!
Sessions=Alabama...just a niggle...i agree!
LOL! I wrote a “Dear GOP letter” to my blog page tonight. Just getting it off my chest.
And that is the ROOT cause for the anger you see coming out of Rove, Perino and the Bushies.
Panicked GOP Leaders Have Lost Control of the Party
Right you are! I was prematurely replacing Harry Reid with a Jeff Sessions in a skirt. ;->
Trent Lott’s comment about “We can’t have a bunch of Jim DeMints running around - we need to co-opt the Tea Party people” or something to that effect should be a CLARION call for all of us.
The nerve of these *ssclown pukes is amazing.
Listen up, Trent, Rove all of you: Were not co-opting you. Were moving you out. You are not part of us. You are not with us. You want to play Democrat Lite, go BE a democrat. You play ball with traitors, you are no better, and deserve the same fate.
We’re done with you. There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is T. Party.
