“Translation: The establishment told him to shut the hell up for endangering Romney’s now solid VA delegates, or he’d be shown the door.”
That is exactly what happened. This election is being totally manipulated by the RINO establishment. It will be a hard uphill fight for us peons(Tea Party Types) to overcome. The RINO establishment will not give up power without a big fight. Remember the RINOs say it is Mitts turn. GO NEWT!
The same attitude, by the GOP elites, gave us Gerald Ford in 1976 and later Dole and McCain. Had they not backed Ford, a good man but with zero charisma and personality, we would have never had Jimmy Carter. In 1980 they even backed George H. W. Bush over Reagan. After all, it was Bush's turn and he had been a good soldier and had climbed the political ladder like he was supposed to. They weren't going to let some dumb B movie actor bump him from his spot. We know how that turned out.
Communist Goal Number 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
We know they took over the Democrat Party long ago and I am becoming convinced that they have now co-opted most of the Republican pollsters, political consultants and old party leaders. They are determined to block any true conservative from the ballot. We should remind them of their attitude toward Reagan and the results. Of course, that assumes their goals are the same as ours but I wonder.
