Horowitz: This Is Treachery
breitbart.com ^ | 6/25/14 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 06/25/2014 10:30:33 AM PDT by cotton1706

In light of last night’s election results in Mississippi, there is one question every conservative should be asking: how much longer can a party survive when its leadership is inexorably against the ethos of its base?

While Democrats harness their base supporters to advance the party’s liberal agenda, the Republican establishment works to undermine and disenfranchise its own base the minute they have pocketed their support in the general election. Now, after actively campaigning for Democrat votes in order to win against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, the GOP establishment has reached a new low in their treachery against those who embody the heart and soul of the party.

Based on the preliminary election results, it appears that the well-oiled campaign by the NRSC and Haley Barbour to turn out Democrat votes was more than enough to make the difference in last night’s primary. With roughly 60,000 more votes cast in the runoff than the primary, and an unprecedented surge in Democrat counties and precincts, it is almost certain that Chris McDaniel won the GOP vote while losing overall by about 6,400 votes.

Campaigning openly for Democrat votes in a GOP primary using issues and arguments contrary to the party platform is one thing. But the fact that they played the race card and ran mailers and robo calls in African American areas accusing their own party of being racist is downright despicable.

Hence, the NRSC and the GOP establishment essentially marshalled Democrat support to beat conservative voters in order to reelect an ineffective incumbent who is barely lucid and will very possibly never serve out his term.

If conservatives had started a party when Obama was first elected, the party would already be 6 years old and growing and maturing. All the time and energy being thrown away now on the GOPe could have been spent furthering Tea Party Conservatives. People, who think they are geniuses but are idiots, say a 3rd party will fail, have already thrown away 6 years that could have been the initial ‘loss’ years and conservatives could already be in the 2nd or 3rd year of a prosperous Party and the GOPe would be dissolving and hopeless — literally the new party would be dominant now and the gop would be disappearing. People are so stupid. The GOP is OVER.

[ Everyone is misinterpreting what happened last night.

Last night was a TEST for Hillary’s campaign.

Hillary is running third party, the “Third Way”.

Last night was a test to see if the black drones that vote democrat and only democrat could be convinced to vote for someone other than a dem.

If the black drones can be convinced to vote republican they can be convinced to vote third party for Hillary.

The test worked. ]

Fascinating Perspective!

The Dems would love this, they know this would split the vote so they would have a 2 to 3 odds to put someone into power they would want, and if they get their RINo in on the RNC side they would have 3 to 3 odds....

If a conservative wins the GOP primary you think they would run Hillary as Turd party?

No convincing is necessary. You simply have to herd them to the polls and they will vote exactly as you tell them to.

The Clintons started the “Third Way’ campaign back in late 1998 early 1999, just do a search Clinton Third Way, and see for yourself it’s not something I just made up.

The Clintons have their heads so far up their own butts they honestly perceive themselves to be “Great Leaders” and want to be seen as the Founding Father/Mother of the new USA.

To create a new USA first you have to destroy the old.

No one above the level of idiot will argue the country is being destroyed.

Hillary will present both political parties, both political ideas right and left, as responsible for the destruction of the USA and there needs to be unity, a common ground, a middle ground, a “Third Way” from left and right.

I guarantee the psycho skank is laying the groundwork to run third party and yesterdays vote was part of it.

“No convincing is necessary. You simply have to herd them to the polls and they will vote exactly as you tell them to.’

That’s exactly what was tested and they passed the test.

The black drones will vote the way they are told.

I enjoyed reading your post 26. It is beyond my comprehension to understand how this nation can continue on its present path indefinitely. The anger between the two sides is palpable and one day possibly will be expressed by more than just words, I fear. I cannot say that this is what you are suggesting could occur with your concluding sentence but that is what I took away from it.

I never thought that I would live to see what is happening to this once-great country. It is of small comfort to know that I left no progeny to suffer from what could happen.

take the party back

Ain't gonna happen. I've been working to that end for almost 20 years.

It’s not about a 3rd party. It’s about a 2nd party. The GOP and RATS run together now. Virtually indistinguishable. Together they behave as the Uniparty.

For that reason alone I find Sen. Cochran’s actions to be dispicable. Absolutely without excuse.

None of this was Cochran's idea, he is too senile to come up with any thing this devious. This was well organized by the GOPe.

"Which Democrat ? There are two in the November runoff."

LOL. I have no idea. Actually, a write-in campaign for McDaniel sounds like a better way to go anyway if he would endorse it.
