I’ve paid my dues and worked my way through. Sorry, I’m just not very receptive to people I’ve never seen before showing up and saying “we’re the real Republican Party and we’re taking over now.”

Well, Art, that’s a damned shame you feel that way, but it’s nice to see you admit it. You’ve ‘paid your dues’; you’re a paying Team R Big Club Member, and you, and your ilk, are therefore responsible for screwing up this nation almost as much as have the Team D LeftLibProggs who’ve also paid their dues (but are much more effective than you can dream of ever becoming). It seems to me that you and your fellow Team R sorts have failed to keep the much-vaunted ‘center’ correctly centered. What you’ve done, you soft GOP Establishment wanna-be elites, is allow the Center to drift to far-left, by giving in to the weak-tea Crists and Murkowskis far too much, over these failing years. You needed some TEA Party ‘bark’, but instead of embracing their fire you’ve given ground to the Left, incrementally, and by doing so you’ve allowed the GOP to become little more than a Club for sentimental hangers-on, like yourself. Weak, soft, and failed.

It’s time to stir up the GOP pot. Past time really; you GOP’ers who defend the status quo are as much an enemy to the TEA Party, and to the survival of this Nation, as are the far-Left Democrats.

Get ready for real CHANGE.
