Republican Party Blood Bath
Oh it is glorious. The Republican party is in the middle of a massive throw down and the long knives are coming out now. This is good, very good.
As the regulars around here know Iam a conservative Republican who supports the Tea Party movement. Back in 2010 mid term elections I had a lot to say about those elections.
One of the things that I said and Iam firmly convinced of is that the first threat to the conservative movement was the Republican Establishment. Not the Decocrats or the President, they were farther down the line.
The Republican Establishment HATES conservatvies. They put up with them only on election day to get some votes and then ignore them.
After the Tea Party romp in the mid terms everyone though the Tea Party/Conservatives would just fade away with their shallow victory and would die.
Well now we hit the 2012 primary. The Republicans stack the deck for Romney, the establishment guy, a moderate non conservative like them. And then put him up against 12 conservatives. The plan being that the conservatives would split their vote, Romney gets the majority of the other votes and by the 3rd Primary this is over with and done. The Conservatives/Tea Party are slain and they have to go along with the "plan" and support Romney to defeat the President in the big election.
But alas us "hicks" will not go away and now the Establishment is getting beat to a bloody pulp. Their guy cannot seem to get any traction even though the voting is getting split 4 ways for the conservatives.
This is good news for America. The citizens who vote Republican are yelling now. They want no more of this Republican Establishment BS. IF Romney does go down in flames all hell is going to break loose. The Democrats are going to be beside themselves. They were counting on their buddies over at the RNC to stop this before it became a serious threat.
Now the long knives are aiming for Rick Santorum. The social conservative, the most vial and evil of all conservatives. It is going to back fire. The problem they are going to have is that Rick is a really sharp politican. They will not be able to tie him down and hope he screws up with a sound bite or two. Rick Perry was the early social conservative but he could not fight his way out of a paper bag and he knocked himself out of the race. Santorum will not do that, in fact he thrives on this stuff. Keep throwing it at him and he will keep throwin those gernades right back at you.
The longer this goes, the more blood that is shed the better off the result is going to be. Romney and the Republican establishment cannot withstand the assault if this continues into the summer. They will be beaten down and defeated.
Bottom line for today. In order to get the United States back on its feet the first thing that must change is that the Republican Establishment must be fully routed, defeated and hopefully disbanded. Their ideas of governace proven to be a lie and that they are one of the reasons the country will not get back on the right track to recovery.
Once that happens in the summer then set their sights on the President the Democrat establishment and resume the all out assault on the Seante and Congress, were the real power is.
Peace

well, if it keeps you guys from bombing anyone else for a while. I'm all for it!
Posted by PainState on 2012-02-22 17:09:32
Good one pythrr....are you implying that the President of the United States broke a promise that when he took office all the bombings would stop and that the United States would pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan before the 1st year of his presidency was up?
That is a good lesson to remeber. If a Democrat promises to stop bombing you, you know they are lying to your face. Examples: Iraq, Afghan, Somalia, entire Vietnam war.
When a Republican tells you he is going to keep bombing you and have a smile on his face. You can take that promise to the bank.

Having read your post, I am curious as to whom you would vote for when the primary comes to Texas.
Are you saying you would vote for Santorum? Or that you will vote for whoever is most likely to win as long as it isn't Romney?

For you europeans out there, I'm pretty sure we have no equivalent of "liberal" political parties here, by your standards. Our democrats are what you'd consider conservative (generally accepting of civil rights but not really crusaders, pro business, pro establishment). The republicans are regressivists, pushing Christian (i.e. generally evangelical protestant, though apparently old-school Catholic is now good enough too it seems) theocracy, removing social programs that help the poor/sick/unemployed, and enriching the ruling/wealthy class under the guise of them being the ones who will help the peons (they have yet to do so, but continue promising it will work).
While the democrats promise nice things, they tend to back off and renege, and barter away 90% of what they promise to get 10% done. They are generally wishy-washy and intellectual.
Republicans promise belligerent foreign policy, authoritarian law, state control of sexuality (i.e. anti-gay, anti-birth-control, anti-abortion), a denial of anything and everything scientific and intellectual, and use propaganda shamelessly to get votes from the dumbest americans who will actually suffer most under their draconian economic policies but agree with their racist/xenophobic leanings (thanks to FOX News).
Republican politicians are scary. They speak english and all, but it's hard to believe they understand the words they are using. The vitriol and rhetoric they spew would get them laughed out of politics in much of the civilized world, and laughed out of a high-school level discussion of science, math, or economics. Put them in front of a podium, mix in patriotic (or patriotic-sounding) platitudes, and they can make up facts to suit their political needs (Dutch death panels are just the latest...no offense to the Dutch, I think all of sane america realizes it's total bull).

I couldn't agree more - route the Republican establishment and let the Tea Party candidates run in as many general elections as possible. Best possible scenario for the country! I imagine Steven Colbert would heartily agree.

Wow. I got to hand it to you man. That was propaganda on the highest order. You need to take that talent over to the DNC and sign up as a part time blogger for them, atleast get some money for that talent.
Your juxtaposition of Democrats are liars 90% of time but highly intellectual VS scary Republicans was awesome.
No facts, just hit him in the nose with your skree of Republicans are just plain evil was classic. Why debate facts when you can just pummell them with visions of doom if the democrats should lose.
Iam serious man. You really need to call the presidents reelection team and get on their internet staff. Because the President cannot win reelection on the merits. Your post is just the forerunner of the what the presidental election is going to be all about. Because that is all we are going to hear from the TOOLS of the President.
Peace

well well well maysrill. I and the other adults taught you how to live and be successful and you just called us bigots, morons, and backwards grouches. Now after 40 years of dancing playing and goofing off irresponsibly you're now hopelessly bankrupt and on the edge of collapse.
Hate to say it, but I told you so.
Don't want to starve when the economy crashes? Shut your incompetent yap and learn from those who have *proven* they can run a country better than you.

I cannot belive in a candidate that is a millionaire
I can understand that SOME candidate can be rich... we all have them, all over the world. I cannot understand why ALL candidate are ALWASY and VERY rich, millionaire or more often billionaire.
I've never supported and won't ever support a candidate that can buy my house with his monthly fee. No matter what he say or do.

American "politics" are a joke and the republicans of 2012 might be one of the worst "serious" groups of presidential candidates in history. 4 years ago, I thought McCain was bad but these guys make George W. appear like a genuine statesman (which says it all.
I spend a lot of time in Peru last year and able to follow their presidential elections. In the second round Keiko Fukimori (daughter of the part dictator/president of the same name) went up against eventual president Humala, a leftist with a brother in prison as a "terrorist" (tried to establish an enclave during the Fujimori regime). So that was already pretty bad, but at least the campaigns were about subject matters and ways to improve the country. In the US Peru is probably disdained as an "undeveloped country" but they have a more mature approach towards politics than the Republicans will ever have again.
Republican politics is all about insulting other candidates, caring more about gays, abortion and illegal immigration than pressing matters while displaying the most ignorance towards other cultures/parts of the world and coming up with the most absurd tax-cutting schemes possible (of course while still magically finding a way to raise the budget for defense). The past winter/this spring you guys were just able to reach a new low (which is quite an achievement on its own). It is really a shame considering that 95% of all the Americans I have met were genuinely nice and resourceful people you could have a good time with.

When Santorum called Obama a radical I had to laugh.
And in the previous vote I was amazed when McCain was accusing him of being a socialist. Quite shocking. And the people who support this idea of not being equal are often ones at the bottom who will never benefit from these dreams of becoming rich.

I'm actually going to agree with soranos for once. Not all that impressed with the Republican Establishment puppets this year.
for the first time in my life, I'm actually seriously considering voting Democrat in a presidental election.
