The GOP: The party of bailouts & cronyism. Destruction of Tea Party complete.

Posted on 01/10/2012 10:34:33 PM PST by Minus_The_Bear

The GOP has chosen. The destruction of the TEA Party is almost complete.

The Weekly Standard, National Review, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, & all the establishment Republicans have driven the TEA Party out of the picture.

Now we are told that taking Federal bailouts = capitalism & that anybody who disagrees should just shut up. Why did they TEA Party start in the first place?

Without ethics capitalism is doomed to corruption.

I expect every Romney voter would support Solyndra or GE... because "it's just capitalism"

If Mitt Hussein Obomney gets the nomination, then I think we should draft a Trump/Newt ticket. Someone really needs to take a metaphorical flamethrower to the establishment and those guys are some of the only ones that have the stones to do it, the motivation to do it, and enough skill to have an outside chance of actually winning the election, or at least make the Republicans come in third, which would be a game-changing humiliation for them.

“The MSM is saying we need to hurry up and settle on someone. Why the hurry?”

Because: a) the two WORST ones - Mittens and RuPaul - have the most money and can outlast a far better candidate who’d be able to defeat BHO, and b) so many voters are sheeple who’re influenced by the earlier primaries and will vote for the one they see as the biggest “winner” of those primaries, not to mention all the media reinforcement of Romney and Paul.

BTW, the media doesn’t really want us to hurry up and settle on “someone”. They want us to hurry up and settle on Mittens.

I hope you are joking.

That isn't how politics works. Only a few key states choose the nominee.

Good interview, thanks.

I’ll add that my stockpile of sources I use to debunk the idiotic anti-Gingrich memes commonly spewed on here.

I’m supporting Newt and hope he can garner the nomination. IMO, he is the best of the field. I’m guessing Romney will get the nomination, though, as it seems the GOP elites usually get their way. Let’s hope that isn’t the case this time.

If Obama beats Mitt, the Republicans will just say, oh, he was too strong a candidate, there’s no way we could’ve beaten him. But if a third party wins second place and puts the Republicans into the third place, they will have to acknowledge that they made a big mistake putting a phony empty-suited million-dollar-man up there and calling him a Republican.

"Without ethics capitalism is doomed to corruption."

What's going on is not even capitalism at all. I think everyone should read the book, 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' by G. Edward Griffin. (It's a huge book, but definitely interesting and eye-opening.) That book made me SO angry at what has been going on, and that our country is being looted... and so many people still don't realize it. The worst part is when leftists call it "capitalism" and then call for an end to (all) capitalism. When it is not capitalism or the free market at all. It's collectivism. And I think if everyone realized how much our country is being screwed, there would be no more apathy or people blindly re-electing the crooks who continue the status-quo.

That may be true but that makes it all the better that he be the one to humiliate the Republicans. Plus he would get so much media attention that it would be sure to throw a monkeywrench into the race and upset the apple cart.

And let’s face it, Trump would be a better president than any variation of Mitt Hussein Obomney.

The Tea Party is alive and well. We just need to move it out of the GOP. It is time to start a new party.

I'm not interesting in wasting my money and time on losing operations. 3rd parties have failed since 1856 even with former presidents running twice.

It's either fix the GOP or get Mitts and Obamas every four years. Get active in your local County/city Republican Party and local Tea Party and fix this thing.

“I always listen to Rush. Today I wanted to crawl through the line and strangle him. He doesn’t get the fact we know that there are times where capitalism exceeds it’s limit and becomes socialism for the few.”

He really was an imbecile on stilts today, and perhaps a whore - don’t know his real motivation so not sure on the latter. Today Rush, Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan came out against Gingrich. Early for the Ides of March, but there it is.

“The fix is in. Central banksters want Romney and Romney they’ll get.”

I think I am more worried about the nascent police state in Romney’s hands than the more idle and hapless Obama’s.

Good idea! I like that fighting spirit you have and Trump and Newt do have it. Let’s crush mitt the maggot which crushes the GOP elite, the media and soros!
