This was published online yesterday in The American Spectator
It links to a radio program wherein one of the top aids of Rove's American Crossroads lets the cat out of the bag regarding their attitude toward actual conservatives.
I am sorry to say it, but no, Karl is not conservative, but purely a big-government, Democrat-Lite RINO.
The establishment Republics like to move in and run things after the conservative wing makes advances. Of course, the establishment Republicans then squander all the gains to the point the party is a group of eunuchs. Then the conservative wing is able to make advances again. Then the establishment people squander it all again. And again. And again.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sickening cycle and I wish it would end.
Wow, I knew there was a skirmish between Rove's people and conservatives, but I had no idea it was this kind of battle.
ReplyDeleteThe State of the Union responses will be interesting; Rubio speaking for the Repubs and Paul speaking for the conservatives.
The fact that there will be TWO responses speaks volumes.
And of course, B-B-Barry and the Dems (with apologies to Elton John) are just loving this break-up.
ReplyDeleteBut what else can we do? As Matt said, the conservative wing makes progress and the establishment 'negotiates' it back to the prior status quo or worse.
Of course, I should not be giving the impression that the animosity is one-sided, Mark Levin, The TEA Party Network and dozens of other conservatives are taking turns smacking Karl, also.
DeleteAll in all, what is happening is that the GOP is starting to divide into two parties, a moderate wing (RINO, Dem-Lite) and a conservative wing (TEA Party).
The trouble is that the two current parties are so entrenched in the electoral system of all states, that otherwise viable candidates from any other party have little to no chance of making any sort of splash or headway without major changes to the law.
The one benefit I do see is that, although the GOP is barred by the egregiously partisan NJ 'consent decree' from challenging any election fraud, no matter how blatant, a new party could not be held to that.
Hmm, weird stuff - my last comment shows on the thread, and in the dashboard, but not on the sidebar
