We begin with this lede storyline:
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- From county chairmen to national
party luminaries, veteran Republicans across the country are accusing tea party
lawmakers of staining the GOP with their refusal to bend in the budget impasse
in Washington.
The Republican establishment also is signaling a willingness
to strike back at the tea party in next fall's elections. . . . . . click on the "AP" link, above, for the full story.
Editor’s
notes: Understand that “hardball”
negotiations require a “no compromise” stance that, in the end,
allows for just that, compromise.
You do not get anything you want by simply being agreeable, caving in from the outset, and attempting only the “reasonable.” McCain has labeled the teaparty’s stance as
represented by Mike Lee and Ted Cruz (and others, of course) as a “fool’s mission.”
Really? Let’s talk “fool.” It was John McCain who forbade Sarah Palin from going after Barack
Obama, in the 2008 elections. It was John McCain who “played by the rules”
in campaign finance and lost the fundraising wars by a 2 to 1 margin. It is McCain who sat on the sidelines and
only complained about the drone policy of Obama’s while Rand Paul lead a filibuster that forced
Barack Obama to back down from his anti-American position. And now,
this do-nothing, compromise
without a fight, political moron, wants to get rid of any chance to win a
national election by openly working against teaparty advocates.
Like I have said,
time and time again, words
directed to the Establishment GOP: “Go ahead
and try winning an election without us teaparty types . . . . . . . ain’t going to happen.”
What the McCain’s of this world do not want to accept is
this fact: GOP Party compromise with the
Socialist/Progressive, anti-colonialists
(people who despise our history and the founding documents coming out of the 13
colonies) within the Democrat Party has been a losing strategy for 40
years, if smaller government, lower
taxes, balanced budgets, and individual
freedoms are the end game markers . . .
. . . . . and we are tired of it.
The RINO Herd had its way for decades and
accomplished nothing but a full surrender of conservative values. And now,
this political piece of lard, John McCain, wants to win a war with the
teaparty.
Bring it on,
Moron. 2014 is stacking up to be a
winning election for the GOP and its conservative base, but if McCain wants to oust true conservatives, the potential for a 2014 election will
vanish, just as surely as did Romney’s
chances in 2012. Understand this, the RINO Herd wanted to win that election (2012)
without “kissing up” to the socalled “right wing” of the party.
The Herd ignored Sarah Palin,
entirely, and paid a devastating
price for doing so. It relished in Chris
Christie’s romance with Barack Obama,
just days before the election,
and pretended to have political clout without its conservative base, and the base stayed home, and the Socialist won the election.
Look, when you
consider the elections of 2006, 2008, 2010,
and 2012, the only one that
registered as a “victory” for the GOP,
and a resounding victory it was,
round up being the 2010 midterms with its enthusiastic teaparty
base. McCain has political power, as a member of the GOP, precisely because and only because of . . . . . . . . the teaparty. I mean,
his 2008 strategy gave super majorities, for gawd's sake, to the Dems. THAT is what John McCain gave to the GOP . . . . . the worst political butt kicking in modern times.
Me? I don’t care if
the GOP wins another national election if it must win, talking and walking and sounding like the
Radical Left, aka, the Democrat Party.
It is a misconception to argue that teaparty patriots do not
understand, ultimately, the need to compromise. But,
compromise for the sake of “moving on,”
is not a winning strategy.
Speaker Boehner is playing with fire. At the end of the day, if he does not walk away with a negotiated
and real victory from a conservative point of view, all he will have accomplished is to breed new
life into a determined teaparty collective.
2014 is all about the
“midterms,” an election cycle that was
won in 2010 because it is a series of “local
elections,” as they say, and in local politics, we are a Right leaning nation.
There are 435
congressional districts in the United States and the GOP won 228 of them, in the Romney, 2012, election cycle . . . . .
well over half the total of congressional seating. But the Dems won the popular vote as it took
fewer districts, and Obama won his re-election bid, but without any congressional power. The
coming 2014 elections, are all about
Congress and the power base of each party.
And McCain thinks that “now” is the time to have a knockdown, drag out,
with the teaparty (??!!).
Like I said, “Bring
it on.” We are tired of being lied
to; we actually know how to read and
comprehend, and we will not be fooled
into supporting a national political strategy that continues to grow
government. The antithesis of “individual
liberties,” is “bigger and bigger government.”
If “we” lose this fight, we will take the GOP down, as well.
Indeed, when it comes to party politics, it is our way
or the highway. I don’t think the
teaparty will walk away from this midterm.
It is our opportunity to grow our congressional base. So,
buckle up, cowboys and
girls, it is going to be a fight like
nothing you have seen in the Grand Old Party.
