Sounds like they are preparing to bite the hand that feeds them.
There is a viable national party waiting to evolve out of voters the GOP has abandoned and Liberty loving Americans. At the end of the day, Americans have allowed the Democrats and Republicans to divide us more or less along lines/issues that aren’t essential to our long term prosperity.
The new Liberty (or Freedom) party should also make the media impotent by not listening. The media only has power when we listen, care and react to what they say.
“Sounds like they are preparing to bite the hand that feeds them.”
The GOP is in an incredibly bad position, and they seem determined to make it worse. After watching how feckless the Republicans are in dealing with Obama, I’m done. I have no incentive to vote Republican. Obama is going to trash America anyway, why elect some Republicans simply so they can be the foil? (And get wealthy in the process).
Uh, no. They like the hand that feeds them just fine: Corporate money from inside the beltway, money "given" to both parties. From the perspective of the consultants who run national campaigns, conservatives are notoriously stingy. "Screw 'em." The consultants make their money on a percentage of how much is spent, not on whether they win.
Sadly, conservatives are tapped out, paying taxes to support everybody else because of the government said "somebody else" paid for. Hence, the rule, if you want to elect a conservative, dig deep, into your wallet. Nobody else will.
Actually, third parties are too easy for the media to ignore, which was part of their strategy last summer. They shut out Clint Eastwood and the Romney video which was very well done and could have drawn a lot of independents -- they saw to it that those assets were never seen by the People. How do I know that? One of the Mediabots, Mark Halperin (chief political correspondent for TIME and son of Pentagon Papers traitor Morton Halperin -- he's not just some yayhoo with a 15-newspaper byline) said so. He said it on Charlie Rose, where all the heavy hitters go to talk to the public. Presidents and prime ministers want to see Charlie -- he's already interviewed a President or two (he interviewed Associate Justice Antonin Scalia a few weeks ago), and one day I'm sure he'll get the ultimate interviews: Queen Elizabeth and the Pope.
But Halperin told Charlie Rose the Media would make sure those assets -- the Clint Eastwood "empty chair" speech and the Romney campaign video -- would never be seen by the People, and he was right. Like the man said, it ain't bragging if you can do it, and he and his co-conspirators in Media saw to it.
So if they could do that to a major party and its candidate, what kind of quick work do you think they'd make of a new party?
