I have read the inttroduction and am halfway through the first section.

Thank you for putting this into words. I think we all FEEL it - but it is enormously helpful to have in in black and white.

I completely agree. I think so much of what Chuck has said in this book is what is 'preached' here daily. I applaud CEW for being in a position, and possessing the courage, to get this in black and white and it is my honor to count him as a fellow FReeper and FRiend.

Admirable (Jimmy V was great), but Churchill was first and best:

"Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." October 29,1941.

It’s the lack of technological knowledge in the last campaign that blew my mind. I was even more flabbergasted when I found out that conservative technologists hadly freely offered their services and were blown off in favor of fatcat consultants.

Thanks Jim - reader comments are very informative! Will be anxious to hear what parts of the book you find particularly strong, and maybe what isn’t so strong, etc. I have parts that are my favorites....

One topic which is of great interest to me is the phenomenon wherein "conservative" leaders are more afraid of US than they are of the Left.

The best example of this in modern times was the White House's moves, immediately after 9/11, to denounce and warn against nonexistent violence against Muslims living in the US, but there are many, many other examples.

This creates an asymmetry in which the Left never, never, NEVER abandons one of their own who gets into trouble, while our "leaders" always, always, ALWAYS either join in or turn away from a left-wing lynching of one of our own.

Larry Auster, who lies mortally ill with pancreatic cancer, has been very aggressive in pointing out how many "conservatives" in fact subscribe to the liberal zeitgeist regarding human nature. Portman can support imaginary marriages because his son is gay, while Feinstein/Malloy/Cuomo would waver not a millimeter if a child, for example, joined the NRA.

How about having living, breathing Conservatives, who deliver a message from their heart? Yea, I know, in my dreams, people like this are an endangered species in DC.

Which is why I call being in the establishment a mindset more than a membership (since some people can be in sometimes and out sometimes) - and it’s described as an “infirmity” in the book.

It's pathetically easy to be a RINOpunditguruconsultant... and easy money.

You simply have to be hung up on 1920's country club notions of Demographics ... enough to sell them to the ever-gullible RNC, anyway.
Lessee now, your Demos have:
(a) alla Blacks (I'm not prejudiced. We have one in our Country Club. Clean. No black accent)
(b) The Demos have what, 75-80% of the Jews?
(c)They have 65% of all the women (Not my Hildy, though, thank God)
(d)70% of the Legal Latinos and 100% of the illegal Latino voters.
(e)90% of the homosexuals, transgendered, and bi-people.

Whom do we have? We have a bunch'o'ole white guys from FR, The Elks, and The Old Soldiers Home.
So here's what we gotta do to win, and it will cost you about $2Billion. A check will do nicely, Thanks.

First we have to get off our old-fashioned ideology kick to get alla those Democrats to vote for us! .
(a)We'll get the blacks by doubling all welfare programs, naming Pennsylvania Avenue "Trayvon Boulevard," and include recreational drugs with EBT. They'll love it.. and us.
(b) We'll get the Liberal Jewish Intellectuals (and thus the MSM) on our side by bombing Tel Aviv, naming West Point "Arafat Warfare Institute," and placing a Sharia Imam on the SCOTUS. They'll eat it up. (Although they probably won't vote for us, at least they'll keep quiet..er..!)
(c) We'll get the women back with free walk-in abortion clinics and promising to use the USAF (woman pilots only)to air-drop free contraceptives upon remote, snowed-in Maine hamlets.
(d) We'll get the Latinos by recognizing La Reconquista of Aztlán and making Spanish the official language of the Southwest. Free Tacos for the school lunch program. Every grammar school child will be required to swim the Rio Grande so they can see what the "New Americans" had to do to get here. Say, ¡"Sí, se puede!" Repeat enthusiastically.
(e) Immediately recognize and promote Gay Marriage by promising to unite the homosexual offspring of various GOP officials in same- sex holey unions on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Inauguration Day. The Gays will flock to our Rainbow Standard! Guaranteed.

We RINOputanas (I shortened it) will deliver Romney Blowouts until the Second Coming. We'll play demographic checkers while the Democrats play psychographic chess. It is not only lucrative, but it's familiar; comfy; well worth the money! Those old white folks with the hang-ups; stuff about the Constitution? Who cares? With all the votes we'll attract from the Demos, we don't need the geezers. Our new open-mindedness will confuse'em into staying home on e-day, which btw, should last 2 months and give the Demos plenty of time to figure how many votes they need to steal the election, if necessary. But seriously, why would anyone vote Democrat, when we offer more? And as you can see, we are nicer people!

No way we want the Conservatives fouling up a free lunch. Besides, we have our deals with the Democrats in place, and I have drinks with the Boehners at 5, so I'll see you.

Thanks for your business, again! And, don't talk to anyone else.
