Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer said, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."Mitt Romney's father among scores of establishment Republicans publicly condemned us as "purveyors of hate."
A good start would be for the establishment Republicans to say we reject such language -- from now on we will respect our differences. We differ with the Tea Party but we will respect their opinions.
Fat chance.
The establishment Republicans get to mingle with the movers and shakers; they get to accumulate fortunes running campaigns; the Democrats' lip service that it's a two-party system waters establishment Republicans' ego, never mind what the fluid really is; establishment Republicans get government offices next to Democrats; MSM employees attack them as interfering with the Democrats. All the trappings but no real power and that's okay.
