Just Go Along

A certain breed of Republicans feel the need to offer something substantive rather than risk being called "obstructionist". They are GOP members who are of a mind that America wants to see comity in Congress and members working together to "get things done". For some of them, Northeastern liberals, like Collins and Snowe, the horrific pair of RINOs from Maine, this roll over for Obama view may actually reflect the will of their voters, many who escaped New York as it was descending into a leftist hellhole, to make the journey to pristine L.L. Bean land, but brought their socialist insanity, which they claimed, along with four vagrants on every block and rampant street crime, to be fleeing, with them. But it makes no sense whatsoever for a South Carolina or Tennessee Republican US Senator to poke the elephant in the eye and betray the values and interests of their right-thinking, right-wing constituents. That is just what Lindsay Graham and Lamar Alexander are doing with their vote for the confirmation of Sotomayor to the court of last resort. The core of America, lifelong conservative Republicans and Reagan Democrats want to see Obama, "the great leveler" stopped in his effort to overturn the old order. These flyover country patriots love our Constitution, our Founding Fathers, and want their representatives to reflect that and speak from the heart, but instead, ppoliticians from all parties and of all stripes and their campaign committees employ consultants, highly paid strategists like Dick Morris, who has earned his hefty compensation by helping Bill Clinton et al to dance circles around the truth and know just what to say to keep fooling voters. Yes, when Morris was in the office and not wearing his leash, he was invaluable in creating premises to keep the kind of politician who would employ such a trickster advancing his career, a politician not of conscience but one who entered politics not to represent his principles or the people who voted for him but who is laughing at anyone dumb enough to vote for him the whole time he has the public dancing to his tune and exploiting every office for all it is worth, whether in pursuit of higher office, to advance cronies and earn their eternal gratitude and obligation with all that buys, or plain old, pure and simple graft. I am not a political consultant, so I can offer some free advice to conservatives. We have a President in office in Obama, who wants to take your money, take your guns, and offer an open border amnesty. So if you want a winning mantra to stay in office and remove the RINO strain, which is willing to accept a little salt to make socialism more palatable, but is actually rubbing salt in the wounds of the conservatives who put them in office-preserve tradition, save the country-say:"Keep your money, keep your guns, close the borders". Say it and more important, mean it.
