[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Ghost of Philip Marlowe:" How do we as a liberty-loving citizenry benefit by electing people who oppose us but who smile
and lie and say they are on our side in order to get elected...then promptly betray us and join the enemy?"

It's all part of the orientation process , when they first arrive .
They are taught right from the get-go that the first 8 - 10 hours of every day belongs to fund raising for " The Party" (which ever party that is )
You then legislate out of what is left over for the rest of your work day.(by that time, you are brain dead !)
That is what I learned from my disgraced Congress-critter

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

That’s why, unfortunately, we can support no one from the “establishment.”

That is, unfortunately, those who best represent us, are those being maligned by the GOPe and the DemonRats. Palin. Cruz. Lee. Paul.

If the GOPe is trying to destroy them, they are probably outside the establishment and represent us the best.

And, unfortunately, with pop culture and the power of the state-run media, the statists will continue to successfully destroy those who run for office who truly want to change the establishment to what our Founding Fathers designed and built.
