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.’
Great article.
Fact! If I wanted to elect a demoncrap lapdog, I would just vote for the demoncrap. I want someone to fight them, not someone who will act like a whipped puppy in order to get Reid's approval.

Bump!
The leaders of the GOP can either wake up, or they can stay in a coma and we will pull their feeding tubes.
I don't think so....
They truly don't get it. Huge numbers of people have finally had enough.
We want our nation back. We see a future where our freedoms are gone, and where an oppressive government intrudes on every facet of our lives.
FINALLY, somebody has got the message. THROW THE BUMS OUT.
Marines in the 60’s had a saying, “Kill them all; let God sort them out”. Very apropos (w/o the killing of course).
Ping!
All this infighting is going to lead to some long faces in November.
You neglected to mention the greatest Maverick, Juan, lest we forget.
My guess is they got a clue last night when they saw the mushroom cloud over Castle campaign headquarters in DE.
Hope you didn't write that.
I can tell, you've been here for awhile.
The progressives hiding in the republican party might as well give up the facade and join the democrats...that’s where their hearts are anyway.
“I had said many times that Bush (with help from the Congressional high spending Republicans) ruined the Republican brand....”
And that is the ROOT cause for the anger you see coming out of Rove, Perino and the Bushies.
The “Rainbow Coalition” BIG GOP PARTY MACHINE that Rove and the Bushies BUILT and STILL control is crumbling.
Yes they have and the money is not coming in. It is going directly to candidates or is going to other conservative friendly PACs.
The GOP (Old Party) should be very afraid of the revolution that is taking place. Either get on board or else...
That really stick in your craw doesn’t it? Lighten up.
