Finally, someone pointing out the facts: Establishment Republicans don’t want to win elections, not on any widespread basis. As odd as that sounds, it’s true. The establishment hates Newt because Newt wants to win. It’s also why they hate the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin, to name a few others.

Republican elites in their walled off ivory towers dictating to the unwashed working class who should be their candidate, huh? Mr. Gingrich, tear down that wall.

I read some of the ethics report. They were TICKED because he had a plan since 1989 for Republicans to take control. And accused him of “partisan politics”. What a crime!

I think my head just exploded.

Seriously, I’ve never heard it put quite like that . . . and I think you’re absolutely right. Why should the Establishment GOP actually *win* when they can profit by not winning, which is, of course, much easier?

And here’s all the great unwashed Republicans out here, thinking we not only could win, but should win. Silly of us, isn’t it?

Excuse me, I have to go glue my head back together now . . . .
