Not only John McCain being a “deadbeat” [as a conservative, I have more descriptive phrases in mind]; but also the essential nature of the party that imposed him on us. The Institutional Republican Party desperately wants to chase all conservatives out of the party, except for a couple of months every two years. The level of contempt they have for anyone who would actively oppose Democrats must be felt to be believed. Conservatives have been feeling it, and we believe it.

It is no accident that it is ad hoc groups that are leading the fight against Buraq Hussein and TWANLOC. With very few exceptions the Republican Party is holding back, trying not to be noticed.

Item, RNC Chairman Steele just gave another speech praising ACORN of all things. Item, In NY-23 [the only special election for Congress this year] in a district that normally votes 60% Republican, the party imposed a “Republican” candidate that is to the Left of the Democrat and who has mentioned switching to the Democrats after the election. And are doubling down on supporting her. Item, the only, literally, personality in the Republican party who can fill venues, draw donations, and rouse the enthusiasm that they claim that they want, is anathema to the Republican party, and its leaders attack her as harshly and often as the Democrats. Her draw is largely to Conservatives [both inside and outside the Republican party], and they hate us and the grass roots movement to try to save the country.

I just got another letter Republican Senate Committee screaming that if I don’t send them money that the Democrats will govern. Guess what, if I do send them money, the Democrats will govern with Republican protection. It is going back with a note on paper the size and shape of a check [so someone will open and read it] listing the Republicans they support for re-election who are functionally Democrats, and the conservatives who run who they fight.

In the normal course of events, assuming that we have elections in 2010 and the votes are honestly counted, one would expect there to be major gains by Republicans in Congress. It will be less than it could be, because the Republicans cannot resist either their urges to kick their base in the teeth, or their addiction to supporting any Democrat impositions so that they will be “bipartisan” [a word that should be banned from any third party that forms].
