Roundheel Republicans & Chori of Coddling Conservatives @ExileStreet
ExileStreet ^ | 10/24/07 | Steve Finefrock

Cal Thomas does it. George Will too. Sometimes, even Dick Armey has been the educated flea that flees his roots, along with a growing gaggle of weak-kneed conservatives, giving coddling reassurance to our cultural combat opponents. Everyone on the left can sense rising choruses [chori?] of “Kumbaya” from the right. The stampede is on to give the left a chance to declare a strategically-advantageous ‘hudna’ in this jihad they’ve invoked since January, 1929’s deposit of one-million-dollars [Austin Powers, we hear you] to trash the most popular president-elect in several generations.

This Kumbaya Chori includes such long-standing/now-sitting luminaries as Richard Viguerie, Frank Luntz, Andrew Breitbart, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, David Brooks, David Gergen, Bill O’Reilly and sometimes even Newt Himself. They all have ‘gone highschool’: they desperately want to sit at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria. And those Cool Kids are the lefties in Washington, D.C., New York and L.A. itself.

I've never considered any of those men, with the exception of Newt, to be a real conservative. They have always seemed like they wanted to be accepted by the media, so they've soft pedaled any conservative notions they might have had at one time.

I think what he is saying is Republicans are giving all they can including getting out the way to make sure Demorats win everything their little hearts desire.

Atleast, I think that may be part of it.

Steve Finefrock? He may not be able to write, but at least he's well dressed.

I got the Cole Porter reference (”Birds do it / Bees do it / Even educated fleas do it / Let’s do it, let’s fall in loooove”), but then my hair started hurting.

“Finefrock” sounds like a sissified nom de plume (that means pen name). I seriously doubt that this person is a genuine Conservative.

Newt's new American Solutions (?) campaign is nothing but populist rhetoric that seeks to make peace find common ground with nanny-staters of the Left.

“Talk about someone trying to be “cool”.

I believe you hit the nail on the head. This author is so busy trying to be cool; he got mixed up. LOL

The NEW Newt has been flirting with the left, but the OLD Newt was a strong conservative. Seems like the only thing he’s gotten press about lately is bashing the President. I guess he figures that’s the only way to get noticed by the DBM. Oh, and hinting that he might run for President.
