What’s going on today is determining Order of Allegiance.
The TeaPariers, Palins, JimRobinsons, FR’s, Cains, Perrys, FredThomas’s are Conservatives first, then, and ONLY then, republicans.
The Roves, Coulters, Priebuses, Christies, Crists, Romeny’s, Drudges, and the like are Republicans first, then, and ONLY then, conservative.
[I’ve left out of the above listing Newt. He is the vessel of the first group, and our next challenge is to ensure his order of allegiance is: The First Group, then, and ONLY then, the second group.]
Hit: Check out Clear Channel, who owns it and who it owns. It will explain a lot.
Heretofore, and save for veiled hints/threats; the 'inside/establishment' had not openly; put a target on the Tea Party/Populists/God and Guns folks/or just Conservative Republicans. Nor; had we put an ugly face on them.
No question, now; as Repub candidates move forward; that battle lines have been drawn and we recognize the face of our own Repub enemies 'within'.
