I Think I Might Just be Right

Opinion

An opinion by George McClellan:In the concluding paragraph of my article of 17 August, 2013, titled ‘We Are in Trouble Folks’, I made this prediction: “unless things change, drastically, Chris Christie will be the GOP nomination in 2016. I see it already. He absolutely fits the GOP’s moderate elitist formula. Outside the Beltway we are powerless to change it. The machinery is already in motion; Christie will be anointed like Dole, McCain and Romney were but without base support he too will inevitably lose.” And I will now add, that that will be the end of the GOP as we know it!

Comes now Karl Rove, the spokesman for the Country Club Republicans to prove my point. He predicted, on the outcome of Election Day on Nov. 5, a “big victory” for New Jersey’s Chris Christie. Here is his quote: “Christie has had the success of being an incumbent governor who has done a lot a lot of positive things and has worked assiduously at prying away elements of the opposition’s base…. He’s going to be rewarded, I think.” (04 Nov. 2013 Newsmax.com.)

Also, thanks to Jack Smith of the Tea Party Alliance of Gilmer County for this illuminating observation: NRSC communications staffer Brad Dayspring, a former spokesman for House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), told The New York Times on Friday, “We’re not going to do business with people who profit off of attacking Republicans. Purity for profit is a disease that threatens the Republican Party.” Whoa, I might just be right!

For further illumination on Governor Christie and the potential pitfalls for his candidacy, search: swampland.time.com and review the article titled: The Hunt for Pufferfish. I will not quote the article here but suffice it to say, there is certainly enough information in it to give pause.

For the grassroots GOP it appears that the gauntlet has been thrown down by the declining and aging Country Club Republicans whose fear of loss of station and privilege is becoming so acute that they would fair rather completely destroy the party, especially its conservative base, and drive off its main stream voters, like those that already didn’t vote for Romney in 2012, than cooperate. And, sadly, rather than embrace its base and re-establish America as the Christian, conservative, constitutional country it once was, they would rather, it seems, agree with the progressives that American’s really does need top down leadership, but with their hand on the wheel. The problem here is that it’s the grass root conservatives whose goal is to defeat the Democrats and it’s the Country Club Republicans who don’t. Well, I might just be right!

The GOP argument goes that it’s imperative to retain existing incumbent Republicans on the mere basis that they occupy a Republican seat in government. But what good is it when once returned to their sinecure, they continue to vote with the socialist? It makes no sense and so the imperative becomes to alter local party rules to allow the local State parties to actively work to remove incumbents who have demonstrably been collaborators to the socialist encroachment on America. We simply can’t wait until the next election. Too much damage has already being done.

“Nullification and re-establishment” should become the GOP’s base watchwords; to achieve the goals that re-establish the conservative principles within the Republican party. If they do not, the TEA Party will absorb it and the collaborators will be out on their ear’s anyway. We have arrived at the point, obviously, where the word Republican, is no longer associated with Conservative. The GOP is also quickly losing its Constitutional credentials by not challenging Obama’s unconstitutional Executive orders or of fulfilling their proper role as the Congress. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Go get ‘em! (4 Nov 13)
