Theme of this post: The Conservative Base cares nothing at all about the opinions expressed on MSNBC. Joe Scarbough does not understand that, so, how bright can he really be?
Point
“JOE SCARBOROUGH: I will
tell you this. I know this sounds crazy, but if I’m just looking at the
field right now: keep your head down, don’t blow yourself up in Iowa, because
there‘s going to be a lot of teeth gnashing and weeping after the guy that’s
got a 24% ceiling wins Iowa and the conservatives split. Cause everybody’s
going to start looking and saying OK, who is the conservative? We are not going
to allow a guy that has the 24% of the moderates in the Republican party voting
for him, while this conservative party pushes another, let’s say, Gerald Ford
to the finish line. By the way, I need to explain this. This isn’t
necessarily what I feel. I need to explain this. I’m telling you, as I
predicted, crazy never wins in the Republican party, and it doesn’t. But the Republican party, just like I said
when Newt Gingrich was at 38, 39% wasn’t going to stand for that, they’re not
going to stand for the guy who has a 24% ceiling walking away with their
nomination. Anybody who
thinks it’s going to be over after Iowa and New Hampshire, if Romney wins, does
not understand the conservative base. There will be blood if Mitt Romney
seems like the guy who’s going to walk away with it . . ."
Counter-point
I tired of Joe
Scarborough, a long time ago. He has good credentials as a conservative GOP
member of congress, but his lengthy
stint as a show host on MSNBC, has taken
its toll. He almost hates Sarah Palin, has no respect for the obvious fact that the TEA Party is the conservative
base, and he sees little good in the GOP offering
for this election cycle . . . . . . . . as if anyone in the conservative
base, of which he seems so concerned, cares.
He has been long forgotten. And
his new home, MSNBC, insures his
continued anonymity as far as the “base” is concerned.
This is an opinion blog
and a small one at that (1500 daily views and growing - up from 260 just six weeks ago). I am a
retired pastor, a retired 25 year
building contractor, a man who was booted
out of seminary because I was honest in my disagreement with established
doctrinal opinion (3.8 gpa and class
president). I care about what I believe. Add to that, the fact that I have now evolved
into a grumpy old man, and you have the stereotypical
Taxed Enough Already party member. I
have coached kids sport for two decades, taught “special ed” in our local
schools, been a community leader on a small scale, and care about people in all
ethnicities. I am saying, I am “Representative Man” when it comes to
the T.E.A. party profile. Many folks I know are more involved than I. I would not associate with a group of bigoted
raciest. I have no friends who fall into
that category and, again, I am typical to the hundreds I know
as TEA Party members.
And I hate phonies. In Scarbough’s statement, above, he makes
this comment: “Anybody who thinks it’s going to be
over after Iowa and New Hampshire, if Romney wins, does not understand the
conservative base. Ha ! Here is the truth: Anybody who earns his living off the most radical, Leftist, media concern in
the televised media industry, has nothing to say to the “conservative base” of
this country. Guilt by association? Ohhh, you betcha. Scarbourgh is a meaningless media punk who actually believes he can and should compromise with "well intentioned" Marxists !!
Understand that this
particular campaign season has a new player – the TEA Party. “We” came onto the stage during 2009-2010 and the Pelosi lead 111th
Democrat Congress . . . . . and, we have one victory under our belt, the 2010 midterm elections. The Left has chaos, racism, and Occupy on its
side. After 40 years of Colin Powell type compromise, the Right has a base element that has said, “Hell
no” and is not going away.
Get this straight, Morning
Joe. You can take your 4,000 strong
Occupy Movement of structured chaos and discontent and pitch it against the 7
million activist members of the TEA Party
(we influence 30 million) any day of the week.
What we will not abide are statements such as
this or people who give them honor:
"Barack knows that
we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation;
we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have
to move into a different place as a nation." – Michelle Obama
And,
On July 2, 2008,
Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to
rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives
that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's
just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
