RUSH LIMBAUGH: My friends, do not doubt me. I know this is going to shock many of you, and maybe disappoint a lot of you. But when you talk about the Republican establishment -- and you've read their pieces today -- you know what I'm talking about: The columnists, the magazine directors, editors, publishers, whatever, they are reaching and searching for a counter to the conservatives. They don't want Herman Cain getting the nomination; they don't want Perry getting the nomination; they don't want Bachmann getting the nomination. The Republican establishment does not want a conservative getting the nomination...

That’s pretty much the story. We should look into Germany’s laws on suppression of Fascist symbols and literature ~ and candidates! See if they actually work or just turn the Fascist into motorcycle riding skinheads.
Bill makes his money speaking provocatively.
Perry accused us of being heartless. He signs off on all sorts of pro-illegal alien nonsense.
So, if the Establishment doesn’t want to give us a conservative choice it is time to disband the Republican Party.
I was actually thinking about this last night, half asleep. (And I didn’t hear Rush yesterday)
Who gave us Bob Dole, John McCain, etc?
Those are the one who are our enemies. The Democrat/lefties are the obvious enemies, The Establishment are fifth-columnists who are truly bringing this country down!
Whereas a potential candidate for public office might be belched up from one of the Democrat's special interests, the Republican candidates typically arrive as self-starters who want to be professional politicians.
The Republicans don't need to work as ward or precinct chairman, or county chairman, or whatever to get a shot at running for office. A Democrat will typically be both a union officer AND a county chairman, or belong to a trade group, or some Leftist propaganda organization, or maybe even a large aggregation of foundations focused on a single item ~ e.g. abortion. The Democrats get their party muscle from thees pressure groups else they have no one.
The Republicans, in contrast, have traditionally drawn on the lower ranks of business organizations or entrepreneurial class folks (many of them lawyers in independent practice) for their party structure operatives.
For the most part these people value their time in their business and do not seek political office ~ just influence.
Traditionally these Republican "Country Clubbers" have provided manpower and money to Republican party campaigns ~ making many candidates rather dependent on the "Country Clubber" class.
To think of them as the Establishment is an error. They are the operating arm of the party ~ not the ideological part.
For Republican ideology you have to look outwards to "the chattering classes", to the Conservative movement, to the folks who have actually run for and held public office! More recently the Conservative movement metastitized and spun off the TEA Party which operates more like a Democrat pressure group, and actually advocates on behalf of its own candidates ~ just like they were the NEA pushing some old socialist warhorse who had been a public school teacher half her life.
That may be why so many folks fail to understand the TEA Party operation ~ it's very much like the groups in the Democrat coalition. Could be why the TEA Partiers so often fail to grasp the place of the "Country Clubbers" ~ who have been running and paying for the party all along.
I suppose this could have been anticipated. After all the Republican party found itself with milions of new adherents when the Democrat grasp on the Solid South broke ~ and that old Democrat element does look remarkably like the TEA Party if you think about it.
Then, there were all the Roman Catholics who dumped the Democrats ~ but the Republicans don't have the same sort of special interest coalitions as the Democrats, so they were left kind of wandering off to find "something" ~ and there's the "Country Clubbers" who at least have a common background of interest with the monied classes and small business folks.
But, the fits are not perfect. They actually never were. Remember, the Republican party was created to displace the WHIG PARTY and to give a political home to the ABOLITIONISTS. It wasn't designed to be perfect, but at the same time it was intended to drive the Democrat ideologues from the public square, and it did so.
Currently the Country Clubbers own the party machinery ~ top to bottom! That's normally the case. However, they are NOT the Establishment ~ just the workerbees who make the it possible for the professional political class to run for office.
The Establishment are the folks who pay the money ~ whether it's that "Old Kenosha Money" that keeps Mitt Romney and that crowd in business, or Rockefeller and his rich friends, or the Borg Warner gang (that gave us Barry Goldwater), or even the producers and commercial interests in California who were willing to pay for Ronald Reagan's campaigns!
It's up to us to advise the Establishment advised regarding the ideological reliability of the most apparent candidates ~ and to ride herd on the Country Clubbers to make sure they don't mistake their narrower self-interest for the broader public interest.
At the same time you have a Mexican problem of very long standing. It requires special measures ~ maybe a moat with alligators, some barbed wire, electrical zap guns, troops, tanks, mine fields ~
Everybody else at least has to worry about the airport, and that's a bit more cerebral since the visa jumping happens some time after they're already in the country.
Seems to me what we need is joint federal and state enforcement of the entire body of immigration and entry laws ~ remember, not everybody who wants in wants to be an immigrant!
Cain ran the KC branch of the Federal Reserve. This was predominantly an administrative position and he did not have any decision making power as to the policies of the Federal Reserve.

When the GOP screws us in the 2012 election, it will be too late. They, and the main stream media, are going to do everything in their power to ensure that Rommy gets the Republican nomination. That will ensure obama of four more years.
The Establishment Republicans do not want any of the things obama “put into law” repealed, including obamacare.
You can pour perfume all over that turd... but many of us can still smell the turd under the perfume.

Good. I was talking about the one JulieRNR21 posted.
LLS
dick morse said that perry could “walk back” these offensive remarks.
Yep. Build 'em up, so they can tear 'em down.
BUMP!
If they can keep conservatives fighting and in angry camps defending their conservative candidate, the other side always wins (Hugo Chavez and Venezuela politics is a good example) and as this same process occurs over and over again, the many conservative factions become ever more isolated from each other and that ensures that liberals can gain increasing control until they have so much control it doesn’t matter what conservatives think anymore.
A RINO is a just a right-wing Leftist. The Dems are left-wing Leftists. A Leftist is a Leftist and a Leftist by any other name is still a Leftist.
When are you going to accept the fact that our government is run by a collectivist aristocracy?
“”They are country club Republicans with a “profit interest” in cheap labor illegal aliens and a continual free flow of them into this country.
They know that securing the border... and I mean REALLY
securing the border would prevent the usual employers like,
restaurant chains, hotel chains, construction, and big agriculture from having free access to the illegals that
they love to hire.””
I totally agree. I would add to your list the corporate executives who like cheap and illegal workers who effectively keep salaries down. Republicans like illegals because it keeps costs under control. Democrats like illegals because Democrats are aborting their own future voters and thus need to import future voters.
Nobody else will see it either because we had an Uber-Prude of a Moderator holding down the fort last night.
As usual, Thank You very frickin’ little, Admin Prude!!
