Caddell Unloads on 'Racketeering' GOP Consultants
Breitbart ^ | March 14, 2013 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 03/15/2013 5:59:09 AM PDT by DManA

Pat Caddell, the Fox News Contributor and Democrat pollster who engineered Jimmy Carter’s 1976 Presidential victory, blew the lid off CPAC on Wednesday with a blistering attack on "racketeering" Republican consultants who play wealthy donors like "marks."

"I blame the donors who allow themselves to be played for marks. I blame the people in the grassroots for allowing themselves to be played for suckers....It's time to stop being marks. It's time to stop being suckers. It’s time for you people to get real," he told the audience that included two top Republican consultants. . . . Caddell left no doubt he is not an admirer of Mitt Romney's campaign management skills. He called Romney "the worst executive I've seen" when it comes to leading a political campaign. Romney's failure to attack Obama's Benghazi debacle during the foreign policy debate was "cravenness" that came about because his consultants told him "we don’t want to look warlike." . . . The 2010 takeover of Congress by the Republicans, Caddell said, "was not engineered by the Washington Republican establishment. They [the establishment] then took that victory and threw it away."

Well he must be a little slow. The RATs left most normal Americans decades ago.

Remember that Ronald Reagan was a New Dealer in the 30's and still working for the Screen Actors' Guild when he was president in the 50's. He got an up-close eyeful of what the Communists were trying to do (and now have done) to mainline Democratic Party groups.

North Dakota’s Wild Bill Langer also ran his wife for Governor

It's crazy he was elected again later after his insane stunt.
