These GOPe appeasing RINOs and the pundits, pollsters and campaign operatives are still wetting their whistles from that cash still coming into GOP coffers, and they hope for more. That's why there's a big, big disconnect.
The RINO elitists are bombarded, pampered and boosted every day in the DC environ that seeks to keep them in an appeasing mood. They are confirmed! They are bolstered! They are assured! All around tell them ‘real conservatives’ out there don't like the Tea Party. They are renegade jihadists that are willing to walk into a committee hearing, the House or Senate floor, or a poll station and just blow it the f@ck up along with everyone else. They are mad - crazy and have to be defeated, even before their masters, the Democrats.
The truth is they know nothing about values, honor, responsibility or tradition. They don't know what sovereignty means, they don't know what ‘backbone’ means. They just know status quo and ‘what me worry? They are going to find out the meaning of 'conservative' come November of next year. It will be an electoral bloodbath for them.
outside beltway = stupid people
inside beltway = smart people
that is how ALL of DC sees the universe.
