Consultants Advise: Bring Sporks to New Gunfight with the Left

[Geee]

American Thinker:

Word on the political street from GOP consultants and the left is that Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party cost Romney the election. We conservatives are advised to "moderate our tone" and back away from our "extremist ideas."

So let me make sure I understand. Obama and company were allowed to go for the jugular, using false narratives (lies) to win votes. They said Romney hates dogs, blacks, women, and the poor. Heck, they even threw in the absurd accusation that Romney was responsible for the death of a working man's wife. Check and mate. Game over. Obama won. Did anyone suggest Team Obama "moderate their tone"?

But when Rush Limbaugh exposed and the Tea Party rejected Obama's socialistic agenda, Team Obama, which includes the mainstream media, called us racists. When we expressed our biblical belief that marriage should remain defined as between one man and one woman, we were called extremists. And when did it become extreme to believe it immoral to deny medical assistance to babies who survive abortions?

And for the record, once and for all, conservatives do not care what consenting adults do in their bedrooms. All we ask is that we not be forced to fund it or be mandated to say that it is OK and normal.

LI: Tea Party Activists vs Republican Party Operatives in California

Leslie Eastman

November 25, 2012

 

As a co-founder of one of the largest California Tea Party groups (SoCal Tax Revolt Coalition), I often am asked why I choose to remain a registered Democrat. In part, it is because the state Republican party doesn’t inspire much confidence.

 

Or, as I like to put it: Better an honest enemy than a deceitful friend.

 

Let me start by describing my first encounter with the California GOP politicos, which was during a 2009 rally at San Diego’s Spanish Landing. A contingent of Republican Party operatives snuck in 5 minutes before the end of the Tea Party and shanghaied all the film crews at the event, in order to give the impression that a “new” GOP was somehow directly involved with this non-partisan effort. Fortunately, several of our members interceded with the press and the real story of the grassroots activism was conveyed.

 

Another take-over attempt occurred just prior to the determination as to the timing of the California GOP presidential primary this year. When it was thought our state might have moved its primary to an earlier date (which may have increased its impact on the outcome), magically a professional looking “San Diego Tea Party” website appeared. The organizer of this website then began trying to smear SoCal Tax Revolt Coalition as being “not genuine”.

 

The reason: I am Democrat.

 

And so I shall remain into the foreseeable future.

 

It’s not because I think the Democratic Party is perfectly wonderful. My affiliation allows me to to convey a more independent message to those who remain attached to the party of Thomas Jefferson, which I think is important to maintain as I now live in a one party state. Also, the Republican Party in California provides no incentive for me to change.

Agree, St.Woodchuck.

Thanks for alerting us to this very strange alternative view of reality, Valin.

I can remember going back to the 70's here in Mn., this battle inside the party, where the party "elders" what we call the establishment today were constantly fighting with the grass roots. The establishment would say that the grass roots jobs was to do the grunt work but other than that to sit down shut up and listen to our betters.

Actually we can take this back on a national level to Taft v Eisenhower.
