Well that explains the stupidity of this article.
Must disagree—Establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives are miles apart.
Exhibit A: Establishment Republicans gave the Democrats everything they wanted in the budget bill and included absolutely nothing for conservatives.
Some of us had been threatening our friend Colby for a long time, because of the way he had been behaving. And now he'd gone too far, so we decided to hang him. Colby argued that just because he had gone too far (he did not deny that he had gone too far) did not mean that he should be subjected to hanging. Going too far, he said, was something everybody did sometimes. We didn't pay much attention to this argument. We asked him what sort of music he would like played at the hanging. He said he'd think about it but it would take him a while to decide. I pointed out that we'd have to know soon, because Howard, who is a conductor, would have to hire and rehearse the musicians and he couldn't begin until he knew what the music was going to be. Colby said he'd always been fond of Ives's Fourth Symphony. Howard said that this was a "delaying tactic" and that everybody knew that the Ives was almost impossible to perform and would involve weeks of rehearsal, and that the size of the orchestra and chorus would put us way over the music budget. "Be reasonable," he said to Colby. Colby said he'd try to think of something a little less exacting.
IF you live an opulent life style it is very hared to keep in touch or understand the average American, let alone a “grassroot” Conservative. This is a case in point....
An interesting comparison to the GOP-e and its relation with both conservatives and the public as a whole, is made by comparing the GOP-e to a drunken, frat-boy athlete bully and rapist.
As he usually does, he has led a girl, representing conservatives and the public as a whole to *his* “safe space” where he can rape her to his heart’s (or whatever’s) content after overpowering his victim.
However, this time, the girl refuses to submit, and kicks him squarely in the crotch. He lashes out at her, but she dodges him, and he screams at her that he “is her only chance at “love”, and if she doesn’t submit, then the psychotic radical lesbian Democrat will win.”
So the girl kicks him again, in the knee, hard. At that point, he starts screaming for his wealthy billionaire frat brothers to help him. And though they scream all sorts of encouragement to him, they don’t dare try to grab the girl because they know they will get more of the same.
Then things get much worse for the drunken frat boy rapist, as her two younger brothers, Donald and Ted, enter the room and start beating on him. Half blind with rage and liquor, he can’t hit them, and can barely stand upright, and he knows that if he falls, when he falls, he is done for. And likely his whole fraternity of scoundrels as well.
And the girl laughs derisively at him, and encourages her little brothers to hit him some more.
I, for one, do not give a damn about the ‘Republican’ party. It stands for nothing I admire anymore. We need this current rebellion and movement to reduce the money grubbing, corrupt Washington establishment to ashes. No accommodation; they need to be defeated. We need to resurrect a new party, one we can take pride in instead of the shameful one we now have that is made up of self-centered liars, betrayers and losers.
A shutdown where the government employees (majority Democrats) know they are going to get paid for the time out of work means they will put no pressure on their party. The Republicans need to say except for defense and essential services the government will be shut down and no employee will be paid for time while the shutdown occurs. Watch the yelling for Dems to cave.
LOL! What a mook. That ship sailed a decade (or more) ago.
“Establishment republicans” have already gone “too far”, being traitors to their electorate. May they become the Whigs. While they deserve prison time, I’d settle for obscurity.
Bullshit! They don't want to turn off the money spigot and their K-Street pimps have them filled with booze, coke, party girls and paper bags full of cash.
Valarie jarret knows the weakness of all of the DC corrupt bastards, which ones like boys, young girls, dope, mens' bathhouses, everything that can apply pressure.
You better be squeaky clean to challenge this bunch of pimps and thugs.
