Are the Republican aristocracy afraid of winning, or just content with losing?


By Doug Book,  staff writer

 Northeastern, milquetoast Republican “moderates” who toil long and hard to avoid the social embarrassment of association with uncivilized, conservative inhabitants of flyover country must understand that we in the Party base are NOT willing to graciously lose the 2012 election.

If Karl Rove, George Will and Peggy Noonan wish to escape the disapproving gaze of haughty Hamptons friends by mocking every Republican candidate who vaguely appeals to conservatives, let them. This time around, we who actually appreciate living and working in a free, prosperous United States are not going to surrender our ideals to the “wise counsel” of RINO elites for the sake of “party unity.”

In mid November, David Frum–that eager ambassador of feigned conservative values–submitted to New York Magazine a primer on the dangers posed to the Republican Party by the “radical right.”  

In it, he expresses amazement that anyone in “his Party” can “…[denounce] the construction of a mosque in lower Manhattan as an outrageous insult” or that they could conceive the iron-fisted federal “…regulation of private insurance [and] individual mandates” could lead to death panels! (1)

He is mortified that members of “his Party” adhere to the outrageous contention that Barack Obama is “…willfully and relentlessly driving the United States down the road to socialism.” (1)

And not surprisingly, he looks upon the Tea Party as a “passing mania,” responsible for the “…paranoid visions of a Democrat Party controlled by ACORN and the New Black Panthers.” (1)

It is “…disaffected whites—especially those who didn’t go to college—who form the Republican voting base,” claims Frum. And the representatives of this very confused, uneducated group have been led to extreme views by the power of talk radio, provoked to contempt for minorities and immigrants and imbued with a universe of impossible notions. (1)

“Conservatives have built a whole alternative knowledge system…” laments Frum.  And he MUST be right, for nowhere in the New York Times or Washington Post do the ideas of Rush Limbaugh or Mike Levin receive the wholesale approval so necessary to confer legitimacy on political beliefs! (1)

“What I would say, number one, this is our election to lose,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham a couple of months ago. You may be right, Lindsey. But be advised, conservatives will not allow the Grahams or Frums of the Party to be RESPONSIBLE for our losing. The Party base were virtually robbed of participation in the 2008 campaign by elites who claimed that strict adherence to a campaign strategy of wholesale submission and inveterate kindness would assure John McCain the allegiance of those most highly valued of mortals – the  “undecided voter!”  Didn’t THAT turn out nicely. (2)

Well the 2012 election is INDEED the Republican’s to lose. And that is precisely what will happen if weak-kneed  Party moderates insist on running the same issue-free, controversy-free, interest-free and most importantly, ATTACK-OBAMA-FREE campaign which worked SO WELL 4 years ago. This time fellas, we’re not going to let you get away with it.

If you fear traveling the path necessary for victory Mr. Graham, Mr. Frum and Mr. McCain, get out of our way. And by all means don’t speak. Not even if you’re spoken to.

    There has to be a bottom up grass roots consensus on whom we want to run, and right now it looks like Ron Paul is the man. . .
    Ethical and constitutional!
    We need to change this country back to what it was meant to be. . .
    Clean out the corrupt pustule of wanton criminality that has been occupying DC for all of these years. . ..

    Perry has it right; cut these suckers purses; time on the Hull; staff; engrained power.
    And so called Repub pundits are nitwits. Including Krauthammer and Will.
    And that guy who does the virtual graphs, Frank Luntz, might as well be a circus barker; he's as much a hack. He's found a gimmick to make money, just like the barker who touts a two headed goat !
    We're not fooled out here. We see full well the charlatans among us.

    David Rockefeller 1991:
    “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years……It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
    ― David Rockefeller

    “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

    "It is “…disaffected whites—especially those who didn’t go to college—who form the Republican voting base,” claims Frum."

    Following the standard left view that Repoublicans are racist's, I see. We have all colors and races in the Republican party, Mr. Frum. For your information MANY of us ARE college-educated. We may not have swallowed all that socialist BS that you ate up. Most of us still believe in America, and believe that it can be returned to it's former (pre-Obama) greatness. All we have to do do is get a bunch of the liberal anti-american lefties out of DC. For, you see, sir, we cover the entire gamut of human endeavor, not just the communism-loving minority, because most of us are old enough to have experienced the horrors of communism and socialism, and we do NOT want that for our America, the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. Call that arrogance or call it pride, but it's the truth, too!

    The RINO Jackasses in Congress are so wet from testing the political waters among the brays of their fellow centrists that it really never occurs to them that they could be so despised by their ignored constituencies. I also doubt they will ever dry out enough to concentrate on developing the spines and common sense necessary to get themselves re-elected. Considering the current social unrest and anger toward those on the Hill…many will never be able to hold political offices in their own states after we can the lot of them!

      Don't worry Jo. If you don't like the stance a Republican congressman has taken on a particular issue, just wait a day or two. His "mind" will be guaranteed to change with the next available polling results.

    Dear, Sweet Puppy…..After too many years of watching Centrist-RINO "Pubes" destroy this country equally as badly as the Socialists across the aisles from them have done….my only scornful, disgusted comment to them is : "Take your bland, lack-luster vanilla opportunism out of our faces! You do not deserve to use the political description "Republican"…as you have nothing but contempt for Constitutional truths and limitations. We no longer support you; and you cannot continue to take up space in Washington D.C without our support. We are playing by our rules now, not yours…..There's not a hell of alot of differences between many of you and the current idler-in-the-Oval-Office, so I'm thinking it's every bit as important to get you betraying bastards out of power as it is to finish off Obama. "
    Keep up the great work my friend, and have an especially joyful Christmas….Warm regards, Jo
