♆ The Macho Response ♆: Another Dose Of Political Truth That's Worth A Donation

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

It was weird, to hear Ted Cruz's Army give lectures on political battle as they were losing so spectacularly, while at the same time dissing the only Republican who keeps showing 'em how it's done. I don't get it. Or I don't get how they can't get it. Even if they don't agree with TMR's analysis, they still ought to start grappling with two observations, with a commitment to eventual acceptance if they want to stay viable:

1. Christie, having his photo taken with Obama during a hurricane, didn't hurt Romney - Romney never stood a chance.

2. With the Tea Party exposing itself as racist over Trayvon (and coupled with that long-and-openly-discussed, specifically-hispanic phony, Ted Cruz) the Tea was too poisoned to ever win support against ObamaCare - a program for, just as specifically, those you're now known to despise.

That's it. That's the reality you're starting from.

Not Chris Christie - a Republican with skills - he's unsullied by any of it.

ADDED - The Atlantic sees it:

America needs a strong, rational, positive, practical conservative movement. It needs that bulwark against liberal delusion and hubris. It needs a voice that says we are imperfect, that life is complex, that government can create need even as it meets need, that you can’t fix everything and freedom is worth some danger and sorrow. And there are smart, honest conservatives at the ready to be that voice, to help govern practically and sincerely with that voice, but they are drowned out by the guttural scream of craven utopians raging against reality.

This moment in American political life is insane. That a group of narrow-minded zealots could push us to the brink of economic ruin, that they maintain a base of support in their frenzied, quixotic, incompetent gambit, that there is an apparatus that exists to defend this kind of nonsense—it came on us slowly but it is no less an emergency. This is broken. This cannot go on.

And if you can’t see that then it’s not just the world that’s gone mad. You're crazy too.

You really don't understand political science, do you?

I mean--this really isn't an act after all. You're actually as clueless as you appear.

Congratulations. That's amazing.

Christie's opponent said it well. He is a bully and a boss and he is a dirty politician. Just the latest loser that the media and the Democrats want to force on the Republican party.

His photo with Obama did cost Romney despite your bigoted view. Currently he loses no chance to attack Republicans. He should build on those Democratic endorsements and run as a Democrat because that is what he is.

A tax and spend Democrat who is pretending to be a Republican.

Christie is the Nelson Rockefeller of 2013.

So conservatism is there to make little course corrections to liberal dreams, huh? Stick to dissing yoga and nursing your bad back, Crack.
