Establishment Republicans’ Rhetoric over Substance

Dear Informed  Citizen,

It's not even October and the Republican establishment is abandoning the candidate they forced on the rest of us.           

I'm so tired of the tired rhetoric this time of year but nothing is quite as infuriating as tired hacks like Lindsey Graham crapping all over the Romney campaign in the middle of a difficult stretch.  I have my issues with the Romney campaign but I'm a team player and he's the candidate.  My issue with the Romney campaign is it's complete lack of Tea Party/ Liberty campaign professionals on staff.

If you look at establishment candidates who are beating back Tea Party challenges successfully they are guys like Orrin Hatch and sadly Mitch McConnell. The way that they are keeping their political careers is by embracing the Tea Party in a serious way.  Mitch McConnell recently hired Jesse Benton to run his reelection campaign in Kentucky.  For those unfamiliar Jesse Benton ran the Ron and Rand  Paul campaigns. I had hoped to assist a Tea Party primary against McConnell but with the support of Senator Paul and Benton and a more than $6 million war chest it would be a waste of time. 

I'm am so sick and tired of people like Dick Morris scolding us for losing Senate seats in 2010.  It wasn't the Tea Party that abandoned the establishment, it was the establishment that abandoned our fairly elected candidates.  Examples include Nevada Republican political powerhouse Bill Raggio endorsing against Sharron Angle and all the "Republicans" who supported the shameful stunt pulled by Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. The truth of the matter is that for all the noise you hear about Ron Paul and Tea Party people abandoning the party it's nothing but projection from the hacks in the Republican establishment who go further than not supporting our candidates when we win and actively sabotage our candidates. I heard a clip of Rush talking today about how these are the same people who forced Romney on us with the incessant claim that he was the "electable" candidate. The backstabbing idiots are the ones who are going to reelect Barack Obama and that is a tragic turn for liberty in this country. 

This recent move by the Republican establishment makes me question the logic of my loyalty.  Perhaps being associated with the scumbags who are panicking over a private fundraising video is not the best route forward.  Remember the video of Obama describing more than half the country as bitter people clinging to their bibles and guns, it totally prevented him from being President you drama queens.  I'm far past being jaded with politics but we have mission and it's going to take much more impressive people than Peggy Noonan, David Brooks and Lindsey Graham to slow us down! Romney/Ryan 2012 !  The fight goes on,

The split in the Republican Party is real.  The youtube of Boehner reading the teleprompter to announce the vote on the rules change at the Tampa convention says it all. “Establishment” republicans have supported every RINO candidate before and after Ronald Reagan.  They still don’t know how he slipped through. Over time we’ve seen the emergence of Constitutional Conservatives within and outside the Republican Party. That is us.  Our groups are working together to attempt to save our economy through the ballot box. For now, we must ensure that Romney is elected; we have no other options.
