The Stupid Party
I'm not so much a Republican as an anti-Democrat. I don't like the GOP but I really, really, (insert another 50 or 60 "really"s) don't like the Dems.
So what's the deal with the
South Carolina GOP? The Governor wants to be with his soulmate but doesn't want to lose his wife or something and now the LT Gov shows his political acumen.
Quoth the LT Gov while
campaigning for governor.
that people receiving government assistance are like "stray animals" because "they breed" and "don't know any better."We've all done that. You want to say to the girl, "You can kiss better than that." but it comes out, "My dog can kiss better than that." in a really snotty voice and you're never getting another kiss from her (true story).
Obviously the SC LT Gov wanted to make a point but it came out "
I'm an idiot".
So what's an idiot who wants those "stray animals" to vote him to do?
Quote
Noting that he has raised money for a group that protects animals, Bauer also said he is "not against animals."Oh, well that makes it better I guess.
I do have to wonder if he's a Dem plant, doing for the GOP what Karl Rove plants are doing for the Dems.
I look forward to his explanation of his explanation.

I'm torn. I want him to keep talking for the lulz but I'm also running way low on popcorn.

You really have to start wondering how many politicians in each party are moles from another party.
Maybe the Libertarians and the Greens have joined forces to destroy the two major parties from the inside.

You need to understand, the Lt. Gov. here in SC is a moron, has always BEEN a moron, and will always BE a moron. The ONLY reason the Republican Party hesitated to pitch Sandford out on his happy ass was that would leave the Lt. Gov. in charge. And no one wants that.
He'll lose in the primary, never fear.

Ron Paul: It's a conspiracy, man!!!!!!
For the love of God, can we please get rid of this loon? One thing is for sure, if he does get voted out, he'll be set as a guest on Coast to Coast and every other two bit conspiracy nut show out there.

Ron Paul is hilarious. We'll miss him when he returns to his home planet.

I'm pretty sure he's in a safe seat, he does what his constituents want him to do, they must be tolerant of teh crazy he brings.
In other words, his home planet will have to wait a long time.
Well, unless an Arquillian cruiser gets upset about the galaxy or something.

The saddest part about Paul is that his basic financial and economic position is quite sound. Yeah, the gold standard stuff is extreme, and I don't agree with it, but you can go a long way down the road towards debt reform without driving off that cliff.
Unfortunately, he's the poster-boy for Libertarian Whackjob, and a lot of sound financial ideas get lost in teh crazeeeeee. One of these days, he'll probably declare personal secession from the US and hole up in a fortified compound somewhere.

The base ideas are simple libertarian financial principles, generally along the lines of the Austrian school of economics. If you're a Keynesian, you're going to hate his ideas, of course, but (with the exception of the extreme gold standard stuff) he's not far from Friedman.
If you want to read an excellent daily blog that has an economic philosophy nearly identical to Paul's, have a look at Mish. Again, I don't agree with some of the more extreme ideas there (unlike Denninger, who I almost always agree with), as they're simply impractical in the real world, but he's very much worth reading.

Please don't cave, GOProud!
Liberty University withdraws its support of CPAC over GOProud's sponsorship of CPAC. GOProud is a gay conservative group founded in reaction to the rampant RINOism and active selling out by the Log Cabin Republicans. I've seen nothing that indicates that GOProud has been anything but a conservative organization. I say if Liberty and other social conservative groups want to be this disrespectful to a conservative organization, fuck 'em. I don't have any patience for this sort of ignorant stupidity, not when the Democrats are attempting the kind of authoritarian takeovers that they are.
I hope GOProud doesn't fold, and maintains their sponsorship of CPAC, the behavior of the groups withdrawing is pathetic, and I question the usefulness of allies that are willing to withdraw over something so minor.

It doesn't matter. It really doesn't. If it wasn't the gay marriage thing, it would be something else. I wish people would be honest enough to say "If you are queer you cannot be conservative". That's stupid but at least that's honest.

Isn't liberty Robertsens university? I don't mean to bash the university, but if it's robertsans, THEY should be ashamed, not gay conservatives.

Jerry Falwell started Liberty.
And, yeah, I'd share a foxhole with GOProud any day. So fuck anybody who disagrees with me. I am sick of this gay bashing shit. Fuck that! Fuck it with my beer breath. We have bigger things to worry about.

The GOP And RNC Really Love Their Base. Really, They Do.
So much so, the Chairman of the RNC stiffs Dana Loesch, one of the forces behind the St. Louis Tea Party, in St. Louis,
and doesn't appear on her radio show. Again, Michael Steele stiffed a media voice that is influential in the Tea Party.
Well played, Chairman Cool. Well fucking played. Nice to see that you and your other two assfisting assfisters of assfisting (Cornyn and McConnell) are doing your best to alienate the motivated part of your party's base and then get mad at us when/if we stop sending you money and volunteer hours, because you keep forcing dipshit "electable" RINOs upon us.

Actually, eddie, I've felt very little motivation to send the RNC any money at all (even for the nice little plastic membership card they sent me a couple of days ago).
...OTOH, I've been rather regular about noting who's running in critical races, or simply running against some heinous bastard/bitch who I simply can't stomache at all.
And if no lib' presents themselves as a timely target of opportunity, I just send a few more buck to Palin's PAC (hopefully pissing off the RNC: I find that an entirel amusing exercise whenever they request money).
...and not to worry: I'll vote for the RINO a$$fister(s) come whatever November, but they'll do it on their own effin' dime.
...but my money goes to fund actual conservatives (whenever possible).

davis: as much as I want to scream and shout, if a RINO gets to November, I may have to vote for them. But they'll get no $$ or time from me.
Like you said, giving $$ or time directly to a candidate (such as that District that shall not be named) or to a PAC like Palin's, might be the way to go.

I'm going to guess that Michael Steele might be missing a lot of scheduled engagements, given the news about his book.

I'm actually not that worried about this bit of news
Apparently the
GOP and in particular the NRCC are in rough shape as far as fundraising. They're hurting for a good number of reasons, the GOP is in the minority in a big way, the Democrats are sitting on a pile of money right now that they raised in previous cycles, Congressional GOPers are afraid to let go any money out of fear of not having enough come election season. The NRCC also opted to throw away $1 million defending Dede Scozzafava in NY-23 and pissed off a ton of donors and potential donors, which doesn't help matters.
Good. They deserve to fucking squirm for a while. As for why I'm not worried, I don't think the money is going to be too much of an issue. Oh, don't get me wrong, the NRCC, NRSC and RNC are probably going to be hurting, but I don't think local GOP operations and individual candidates are going to hurt too much once campaign season is underway, unless said candidate is a RINO squish, or is at least perceived as squishy, or if they're in a liberal state with a weak/retarded state GOP. It'll be interesting to see where things go, if they can tap into popular anger at the Democrats or not.

Spot-on analysis, d.p.u.d.,
the botnet believes in the individuals, not the vehicles. There are important races as we speak (Rubio, DeVore, Scott Walker for WI Gov, and others...). The candidates get my money. The NRCC can fuck themselves for Skuzzyfava, The RNC has real issues (remember the roll-out of the new gop.gov site?), and finally the NRSC stopped soliciting after the botnet sent back their envelopes empty and emblazoned with "Fuck You For Endorsing Crist!".
Support the individual candidates, and fuck the alphabet soup of RINO-abettors.
And G-d Bless America.

Oh yeah, almost forgot the lynchpin...
Scott Brown who if elected (to replace the Chappaquiddick Killer) will provide the vote to derail Obamacare.
Give the guy $20.

The only caveat I would add is that this scenario increases the establishment's emphasis on self-funding candidates and perhaps makes it harder to get good potential candidates to commit. You're left with potentially clueless self-funders (running as the establishment candidates) against die-hard GOP base believer candidates who probably don't know how to convince voters of anything and instead run around saying how they're "the real conservative" in the race.

I don't feel like looking for the poll, but I saw that self-proclaimed Democrats decreased by 6% while independents increased by 6%.
The GOP had better understand, the people are pissed off at all of them, merely being "not as bad" isn't good enough anymore.
We're sick of the country going off the rails, whether quickly (when Dems are in charge) or less quickly (when the GOP is in charge), so they had better figure out that no matter how many times the Wash Post and the NY Times tell them conservatives can't win elections, they need to field conservatives.
You know, like in 1980 when Ronnie Raygun acted all conservativey and in 1994 when the GOP actually acted like conservatives.
Now? We're being told to shut up and vote.
I'm done. While I've defended those who didn't vote for Palin and the old guy, I still voted for them.
If they run a squish next time, I'm writing in Gus Hall. The only good commie is a dead commie.
