david drum..... vapid lap dog
They wanted Rubio. They were pushing Rubio. Jeb Bush said he wanted Rubio. They figured’d it’d be Rubio. Too bad. Oh, too bad.
Ha! Citing David Frum as a credible source for *anything* is like citing Allen Funt as a great actor.
“That 80-year-old jalopy has sputtered to a stop and is up on blocks. There’s no fixing the ancient relic. It’s time to shop for a new car.”
To paraphrase an Oldsmobile ad: Ryan’s shiny new vehicle is not your Dad’s Medicare.
That this shallow word spinner is upset is truly one of the best recommendations that Paul Ryan could have. Here for amusement is a piece I wrote about Frum, a few years back, David Frum To Haiti Project. (I will admit that it is a bit 'tongue in cheek'; but my intellectual contempt for Frum's reasoning ability, is genuine.)

Lets do all we can to re-establish, the GOP establishment.
Right now the GOP establishment is the moderate wing of the Democrat party.
The GOP in it’s present form is worse than useless.Brown nosers and butt lickers. Not a good pair of testicles in the whole bunch.
If there were a vianle third party I would join it in a minute.

Tough noogies.
I think that the establishment really wanted Marco Rubio. They’re thinking “close election” and Rubio could theoretically deliver Florida.
I think Romney, much to my surprise, has torn-up the 2008 playbook. I think he intends to compete in the Rust Belt States, so Obama/Biden is going to have to defend the entire country from Romney’s spread offense.
It’s either going to be a narrow Obama win, or Romney is going to crush Obama. But the only thing the establishment Republicans are worried about is how this might put Senate Republicans and the House majority at risk.
I think Paul Ryan is a mixed bag and certainly no Reagan. PR is bad on big-gov spending (supported Tarp, Stim, etc.), he’s F rated terrible on Immigration and another is a big interventionist like McCain...otherwise he’s a definitely better than Condo Rice.
Now if Ryan could somehow talk Romney into going away, I might vote for him.
“David Frum, former speech writer for President George W. Bush, is beside himself.”
“Oh, G-d, I hope not. One of him is already too many.”
LOL!!
So, how do we conduct the purge?
Keep electing Tea Party guys?
Are the “establishment” people elected or put in power by members of the party?
They have been there for years. They stay there by working the system.
They deliver “pork” to ther districts.
The lobger they stay in Congress the more seniority they have and the more “pork” they can deliver.
We get rid of them by electing honest Republicans and establishing term limits by voting out the old porkers.
hard to do because everyone likes pork.
Throw the establishment out of the party.
