I think the GOP has been infiltrated by the communist party. There are a lot of GOPers out there these days who are not Republicans. They are just moles who can be activited at critical times during the campaigns.
The party needs an ideological purge. That is, they need to purge those who are more ideologically in line with the democrats.
Of whom there are many, apparently.
Recently a couple of my other favorite hosts said that talk show consultants were telling them that people are tired of hearing about Obama, politics and such.. the host should switch to more things of a general interest.. yeah, right.
Even talk show consulting is run by the DNC.
Well, they had to try something after that Erkskine Bowles video.
I somewhat agree with Rush here. There is an institutional GOP inside 495 that is not in sympathy with the GOP in the rest of the USA. For them, their purpose is to nibble at the edges of statist progressive designs and say “me too, except for this little issue, but we can compromise.” This way they protect their comfortable sinecures. But there is a mirror image on the Right that wishes an Obama reelection in the belief that next time a “true” conservative will sweep into power. Sort of, “we had to destroy the village in order to save it”. They point to the lack of enthusiasm for Gerry Ford as hastening the Reagan Revolution. But if the Iranians don’t take hostages and Desert One isn’t a catastrophe, does Reagan win? Reagan may have promised tax cuts and less federal power, but he ran on restoring American military strength and challenging the USSR. Areas where Carter was feeble and proved so by the Iranian disasters. The election of 76 led to Reagan, but it could easily have not done so. We must play the hand we are dealt and that is Romney, because the alternative is too terrible to contemplate.
Rove alert.....
You know, I get that most of us are not that crazy about this ticket and that some of us hate it with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns. Almost entirely because of Romney, not Ryan. My primary concern with Romney is less that he’s squishy (though I’m not at all enthused about that) and even less that he’s a Mormon (although I’m not now nor will I ever be LDS...PS: save your extended, multicolor, eye-melting screeds about the EEEEEvils of MormonISM for somebody else, clones, because I’m not reading them) than that he or senior staff is going to say or do something stupid in the next few months that will damage the campaign. Which on past performance is highly possible, maybe even probable.
I say all that I’ve said above to say this to these mental giants: Fellas, you won. You got pretty much everything you wanted in this presidential campaign. If Mitt picked a running mate somewhere to the right of David Frum and you’re not happy because of that, all I can say to you is...Go. Die. In. A. Fire.
It may work because the level of the paranoia and distrust on this side of the fence.
The democrats can unite feminists, queers, enviro-nuts, illegal aliens, blacks, unions, college kids, movie stars, billionaires and their foundations, the welfare class, PETA and Code Pink all pulling in the same direction.
The Republicans can't even get the social conservatives to work with the fiscal conservatives. They would rather lose than work together.
Well you just keep clinging to your emotion based dogmas child while we adults in the room stay busy saving the country from the Progressive-Facists.
The more you post, the more people see your Democrat propaganda bot bleating.
A number of seniors will be afraid of Ryan’s Medicare plan because they won’t know it doesn’t apply to them. Those seniors, out of ignorance, will vote Hussein. Due to that, I think Florida has gone into the “iffy” column, don’t know if it will go Democrat or Republican.
Gotta remember that Jonah Goldberg said last year his GOP buddies told him they were against Newt Gingrich in the primary because they were more terrified that Newt would win the election against Obama than that he would lose. All I can say is these people are not on our side. They seem to hate conservatives and their only goal seems to be to turn the Republican party into a liberal party. If we don’t put up liberal candidates, they’d rather see us lose.
