I have some first-hand experience with the contempt which the professional consultant class of the republican party has for those of us of the hardcore conservative base.

Flash! The feeling’s mutual.

The GOP needs to go the way of the Whip Party. The GOP is terrified that the TEA Party will take them over and put them out in the cold.

The guy sounded very immature. Sounds like he didn’t get enough beatings as a child.

[Ben Mugged]

I vote with my wallet and I vote for the Tea Party and their candidates.

Tea Party = Caring for the country

It is a threat to the Republican elite just as much as it is to the democrats. Neither of which give a rats butt about the country.

They are in it for survival, plain and simple. They do NOT have the best interests in the country in mind.

Eff em.

The change we need is to: _go_back_ to the future. The future is in our past; brutally restore the USConstitution and destroy the mutant DC monster that has taken its place.

" ... paid, professional political consultant on Capitol Hill, in the mold of Tokyo Rove" ... this is the gOpE ping

As you point out in WTF, these arrogant elitist 'consultants' are why the gOp is the stupid party.

[LibLieSlayer]

I hate all of them more than they hate me.

[FrankR]

Of course they hate the tea party, the TP has shined the light of truth on the dotted-line alliance of the GOPe with the dems. The gig is up!

Here is their poster child:

People like you will save our Republic. People like him will have less work in Washigton.

A lot becomes clear when we realize that the Republican party is not a political party. Few of its leaders have any idea what a political principle is or what political debate is supposed to be. The few who do have an idea avoid such things like the plague. The Republican party is a marketing strategy. It is a coalition of mostly mediocre people running a campaign for power and perks. Everything these people say is a calculated advertisement without any sincerity or substance. Mentioning your competitor’s bad points is unattractively negative, no matter what terrible things he is accusing you of. Since you have no ideas or principles but only a lust for office, the easiest thing is to go along with the other fellow’s agenda and let him win most of the time. And whatever you may have told the slobs to get their votes is yesterday’s tired ad campaign that needs to be refreshed.

At some point, my roommate let it be known to me, in the open: ”I hate the grassroots,” he blurted out sullenly, in response to what specifically, I can’t recall. But his utterance rings in my ears to this day, especially when I listen to Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and others describe how the Republican establishment elites hold us Tea Party types in disdain.

He just described Santorum when he was an early rino operative, mocking the Reagan supporters during the 1980s, working only for moderates, only switching to pro-life for his 1990 campaign, always supporting Specter, whether for president, or for the Senate, even in the 2010 race, which few people are aware of, being an early supporter of Mitt Romney.

I was given a hotel room (lodging paid for by the campaign)

Why?

What makes you so valuable?

[The Cajun]

2014 will decide if the tea party or the GOP-E is winning.

If the GOP-E wins by their usual backstabbing of conservatives/double dealing/hook and crook, the Republican party is dead.
And it deserves to be dead.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Beware of the faux conservatives from Gucci Gulch.

PING!

[TBP]

The feeling is mutual.
