Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the Republican leadership simply does not get it, and they need to go. They stab their base in the back as soon as they are elected, then compound the wound by twisting the knife. They argue we must vote for them else a progressive will get elected. The republican elite must think us stupid. No matter who we vote for we get a progressive. Republicans have had ample opportunity to prove they are different from democrats and fail at every turn to do so. Tea Party republicans have tried to hold the line but are bleeding from multiple stab wounds in their backs as well. No democratic republic can last with only one party rule. Unfortunately that is what we have in the US, One Party Rule… progressive.
There are so many examples to cite I am at a loss as to which ones to bring up. Possibly the most egregious were the Bush years. Not the lying H, inheriting Reagan’s economy and an excited electorate, and who ran on, “read my lips, no new taxes,” then raised taxes as soon as possible, but W. He had a plurality of republicans in the House and a near majority in the Senate. What did he do with that political power? Did he lower regulations, taxes, put limits in place to the growth of government, or cut the deficit? No on three of those counts. He did lower taxes but that scrap came with a whole new entitlement and more regulations along with gobs and gobs of deficit spending.
Scott Brown was elected in the very liberal Massachusetts to stop Obama care. His election was made irrelevant by the Senate deeming the bill passed without a real vote or debate. Brown went on to stab his base in the back by voting for Dodd Frank, the stimulus and the assault weapons ban. Then was soundly defeated in his next election, by a communist who had fraudulently claimed to be an American Indian, to get special opportunities due to affirmative action! I will say this, not one republican voted for the monstrosity of Obama care. For that I give them some kudos. That was largely why republicans won the House in 2010. What have they done with the power that control of the House gave them? They have attacked… the Tea Party!
The ascension of Obama to emperor of America rang in a new era for the US. We now have a President who committed fraud, when he went to Columbia and Harvard claiming to be a foreign student, or is committing fraud now by claiming to be born in the US. We might never know. The birth certificates he has released have all been forgeries. Despite this obvious weakness the republicans have eschewed any oversight of his actions. The cave man, Bohener, caves at every opportunity. Where are the House hearings on Fast and Furious? What about Benghazi? The IRS scandal? These are only a very small number of the impeachable offenses Obama and Holder are guilty of, yet the republicans spend their time attacking their base, and the Tea Party, while they negotiate with Obama to lower our wages, by adding millions of illegal aliens to the immense number of people seeking work. Ouch, my aching back!
The republican elite along with an abetting unbiased media destroyed every conservative republican so the fatally flawed Romney could run against Obama. With Romney at the top of the ticket, the republican elite took Obama care off the table as a campaign issue, since it was based on Romney care in Massachusetts. Romney ignored his base and instead went for the “independents,” which he got by a land slide, but his base didn’t turn out, so he lost the election. Why should a conservative vote for a progressive? Because another progressive will get elected if we don’t? No matter who wins the base looses. So we didn’t turn out and Obama got back in. I wonder if that wasn’t the plan all along.
Meanwhile the republican elite attacked conservative candidates during that election while denying them funds. Then pointed to their loss as a reason not to even allow a Tea Party republican on any ticket! The latest example of the republican party stabbing a conservative/libertarian in the back was the Virginia election. The republican branch of the progressive party denied Ken Cuccinelli funding and backing. Cuccinelli had zero backing from his party, while the uber progressive Terry McAuliffe got unconditional patronage from the democrats… and still almost lost! The Tea Party republican came within a hair of winning despite being outspent six to one! (While being attacked by his own party as unelectable).
The republican elite are destroying that party more effectively than Obama and the New Class could ever hope to. The IRS scandal was child’s play compared to the efforts of the republican elite. (Perhaps that is why there are no hearings on that abuse of power). Recent history is littered with lost opportunities for republicans to prove their worth. The destruction of Herman Cain, Michele Bachman, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, and even Newt Gingrich, by republican hit groups, so that Romney could run, was despicable. Republicans deny Tea Party conservatives/libertarians funding, while they vilify their campaigns as unelectable, despite which, Tea Party republicans are the only republicans winning elections. Yes, the old guard republicans need to go. Put up serious candidates in the primary process and give the rinos the boot. Once the republican party stops stabbing it’s base in the back, republicans will start winning elections, and, I pray to God, will pull us back from the precipice Obama and the progressives have led us to.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
