“Krispie Kreme Christie alert! The keynote should have gone to Rand Paul or Jim DeMint, also known as real Republicans.”
Who are also real conservatives! Instead we’ll have Governor Crisco telling us the Republican tent is inclusive enough for gays & muzzies. Heck, he’s already a walking mosque!
Being a Conservative in the post-Reagan Era Republican Party is like being a Cubs fan. Every season begins with hope, but by August, you’re 20 games out of first place.
What I have never understood is why the GOP-E is so stupid. Reagan proved, by the largest landlsides in US history, that Conservatism is a winner. Scott Walker proved, not once, but twice that Conservatism is a winner, as did Newt Gingrich.
Instead of emulating that kind of success, we get talk of “big tents”, “tolerance”, and “diversity”. Personally, I think the pantywaists in the GOP-E get their talking points from the Huffingtonandpuffington Post.
Except for that bitter (and brief) time in ‘09 when I convinced myself I was a Paultard “Libertarian”, I’ve always been a lifelong Republican. In my case, it’s sort of like Stockholm Syndrome. No matter how much the mistreat me, no matter how much they let me down, I’ll always be a rank and file Republican.
