The GOP-e does exist. It is NOT ‘mythical’. It stands for GOP-establishment, and eschews Conservatives. It is a political entity unto itself, and is REAL.

The Bush family, Rockefeller family, Rove & Co, McCain and thousands of Mainstream Republicans are that entity.

Conservatives are a ‘fringe element’, and are mostly not welcome. Hence, The Tea Party. Remember them?

I never said the GOP-e controlled the NYSlimes or any LSM. But they, like their democrat counterparts, have their own political/social/religious etc agenda and germane talking points for each plank. And they circulate them and march in lockstep.

Look what they did to Palin, are doing to Bachmann, have done to Toomey and countless other Conservatives thru the years and decades. It’s legion. You probably know far more and better about it, than I do.

I’m NOT a ‘black helicopter’ or conspiracy nut theorist; far from it. I’m well-grounded in reality.

I worked for Nixon-Lodge in ‘59-’60 in Cook Cty, IL, and for the GOP in Buffalo and Miami, in the early/mid-70s (Nixon, Ford), and saw the GOP-ers come to town to make sure all was going according to party dogma. It was like the mafia dons coming around town to make sure it all was going according to their wishes.

I never said or intimated that the GOP-e controlled the world. Yes, it will be front and center news, thanks in part to the GOP-e wetting themselves by calling for Akin to quit, and the lib-dem-controlled LSM is now using that whining/crying to their daily advantage in the media.

Yes, it’s Akin’s idiotic statement and fault. Never said it wasn’t. It would have died a natural death had the GOP-e not piled-on in the massive way they did. Another issue would have easily replaced it as front page news. With the GOP Convention coming-up, it’s going to be a ‘news feast’ for the lib-dem-controlled media.

This has become another circular firing squad and circle-jerk, courtesy of the GOP-e.

The LSM can’t use any honest discussion about 0bummer’s record, as it’s so bad. They actively ignore/hide it. I’ve often said that the real power of the press is the power to ignore. So they have to use the ammo the GOP-e gives them: personal dirt, indiscretions, taxes, abortion... ANYTHING THEY CAN GET AHOLD OF EMBARRASS REPUBLICANS. Anything!

And it’s now been handed to them on a silver platter, with the mass screaming for Akin’s resignation.

I don’t endorse, support or condone stupidity, but I will and do forgive it after a truthful correction and honest apology. Unlike another poster on this thread, I DON’T SPEAK FOR GOD.

Instead of using 0bummer’s late-term infanticide/abortion stance and votes against him, the GOP-e has thrown Akin to the media, with all the howls and screams for his resignation, and gotten Romney’s taxes, dog, wife’s horse etc, off the front pages.

Don’t you see that?

I’m NOT an Akin supporter; I only heard of this issue on Monday afternoon, after coming in from errands and chores.

I used to be part of the GOP-e. I re-registered as a ***Conservative*** in 2006, at a PENNDOT driver’s license bureau, when getting a new pic taken, and finding “Conservative” listed under choice #5 Other.

Here’s my prediction: Aklin easily wins MO by 6-7pts. A HUGE number of voters have had it with the ‘politics of personal destruction’, on both sides, and will vote for him. McCaskill is burnt toast.

CNN tagged it correctly (imagine that), in the 2nd sentence:
