‘Low Information’ Conservatives Reject GOP Establishment Consultant Rick Wilson
Big Government ^ | 8/16/15 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 08/16/2015 11:18:10 AM PDT by markomalley

Grassroots conservatives expressed disgust toward GOP establishment, consulting class operative Rick Wilson for his remark that Americans who support Donald Trump are “low information supporters.”

Conservative radio callers swamped the phone lines of Breitbart News Saturday, hosted by Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon. They also expressed disdain for Willson’s snobbish arrogance and insults cast toward the conservative base throughout his CNN appearance on Friday with Breitbart’s Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow.

During the CNN broadcast OutFront with host Kate Bolduan, Wilson admitted that he yearns for Jeb Bush to start “posting up” and to stop “trying to draft behind Donald Trump and hope that he collapses and his low-information supporters run into your arms.”

Moreover, Wilson went into full attack mode against Breitbart News, throwing interference for establishment Republicans by smearing the website, comparing it to Russian propaganda news outlet “Pravda.”

I'm not a Trump drone, but Wilson's arrogance would almost cause me to vote for him just to tick off the RNC.

That’s the same effect it is having on me. I’m getting to the point of wanting to shove Trump up their noses.

Not interested in Jeb Bush or Trump. But I got news for the GOP consultants and the GOPe. You better put the most conservative candidate you can find up or even Sanders would win an election due to low turnout. I will never again vote for a Democrat lite running as a Republican. My franchise is to valuable to me to give away for nothing.........

So it's that again just like I remember but this time it's, in the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer,

"We had have to destroy Barry Goldwater the low information voter as a member of the human race."

Them Party millionaires dependent upon "the system" for the their millions are a nasty lot.

Sorry but I will stick by Cruz and Trump, and I’m certainly not a low information voter or uneducated. I follow politics closely, and have a masters degree from one of the nation’s best and most conservative universities. Professionally, I’m an executive that makes six figures. The GOPe can go to hell with their snobbery and elitism. They really don’t know how many people they are pissing off.

Ditto that.

I am not a Trump drone or anyone's drone. I will support any candidate that takes shots at thr GOP-e. It doesn't mean that I will vote for them. I'm sick of the PC bull crap that the GOP-e spews. Trump has been doing a good job of breaking through that bull crap.

So why doesn’t the Press report just the facts?

What is the reason for such an incredible failure by the press to inform the American people of the dire state of their government under Barack Obama? There are several.

Many advisors to Obama are married into the media, or have worked in media themselves prior to joining the administration. Both Ben Rhodes and Susan Rice have familial connections with powerful executive in (what was once known as) the free press. Four times more journalists identify as liberal compared to conservative. Evidently, with the case of Brian Williams coming to light, some in the media don’t care about the truth and would rather make up bald-faced lies.

Yet the biases above don’t fully explain the conspicuous silence of the mainstream press on the Muslim Brotherhood. For it is no longer bias or loyalty that sway the press, but fear.

The Obama administration has proved that it will stonewall, punish, illegally wiretap, and in general make life difficult for inquisitive members of the press. Case in point, Sharyl Attkisson, who refused go along with the official lies regarding Benghazi. Her documented harassment by the administration sends the intended message, and most spineless editors and producers listen: shut up and report what we say, or else!

Overseas, an aggressive Russia is looking to reassert the power it had under the Czars and the Soviets. Civil unrest in Ukraine has resulted in a war that threatens Russia’s economic security. Simultaneously, Russian-allied Syria, on the Mediterranean, is under attack by U.S.-backed terrorists, who are referred to by the administration and parroting media as “moderates” (that, according to Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper).

When it comes to the genocide and cultural annihilation of Middle Eastern Christians and other minorities, the word is in Washington is mum.

Today’s parallels with the 1930s are hard to miss. In an ominous signal of what may come, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called all European Jews to Israel. All signs point to the conclusion that a much broader war is on the horizon unless something big changes, and fast. And because our allies have very little trust in us, as we continue to back a genocidal Islamic movement, the country finds itself with few international friends and in considerable danger.

If we want to change our future, it behooves us to face reality, no matter what it is. The Muslim Brotherhood is not going to disappear on its own – they are too entrenched. One potential first step would be to formally designate that the Muslim Brotherhood and all affiliated groups are terrorist entities. This has already been done in Egypt, Russia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. It is most definitely not “Islamophobic.”

Following the designation, patriotic law enforcement must conduct a thorough investigation of all levels of government, and prosecute all guilty parties according to the Constitution.

Most urgently, the people must demand action! Before too much more time passes, before it is too late.

As stated here and other places, the GOPe is more than willing to lose the Presidency and probably both houses of Congress if that is what it takes to purge their party of us conservative yokels.
As an Arizona voter, I do not think McCain will be re-elected even though he will be the nominee. A replay of Mississippi 2014. That loss will also take down a weak conservative or an establishment candidate on the ballot here.
