Elections Are Coming And Republicans Are Wasting Their Time (Again). This reminds us of an Aesop Fable, the RINOs and the Democrats.
One summer day some RINOs were getting drunk on their own self-importance and running about. They were having a wonderful time being RINOs, patting themsleves on the back and complaining about the Tea Party. They saw some Democrats who were busy laying out propaganda and gathering voters for the fall.
“Stop and talk to us,” said the RINOs. “We can complain about the Tea Party and get drunk on our own self-importance for awhile.”
“Oh no,” said the Democrats. “The fall election is coming. We are busy getting all the Democrats together and winning votes for the election. We think you should do the same.”
“Oh, we can’t be bothered,” said the RINOs. “November is a long time off. There are plenty of votes.” So the RINOs continued to run about, complaining about the Tea Party and getting drunk on their own self-importance. The Democrats continued to work very hard.
When the November election day came the RINOs had few votes. Boehner and Rove cried on each other’s shoulders, then they went to the Democrat’s house and asked, “Can we have some of your votes or maybe some dead voters? Without them we won’t have a majority in Congress,” whined the RINOs.
“You screwed off and got drunk on your own self-importance all last summer,” said the Democrat in disgust. “You ignored the Tea Party and the conservatives who again failed to get in line with your stupid idea that being moderates is what your party wants.”
“You can continue to shoot yourselves in the foot by being divisive and getting drunk on your own self-importance, which will assure we could run Bozo the Clown and still win the White House in 2016.” They gave him no votes and the country continued to be screwed over.

RINOs aren't so interested in winning because if you do win, you are then expected to lead and be real opposition. You can't hide behind the self-serving 1/2 of 1/3 of the government BS that Boehner dribbles out all the time, as an excuse for doing nothing to oppose Obama and his crew.
They are not so keen to confront the bully Obama and assorted democrats. So yeah, stay drunk on their partial power. Talk tough and do nothing.
No, I don't think that's it. RINOs don't have to worry about being expected to lead. They've never lead in the past, why would anyone expect them to now?
Actually, I'm reading an interesting book called Conservative Insurgency by Kurt Schlichter. Fiction, but very well thought out. It's set as a series of oral interviews detailing true conservatives rising to power between 2014 and 2041. Very topical to this election and if you like the idea I'd encourage you to pick up a copy from Amazon.
Even if you're not interested in buying it, one of the topics the book explores is that politics is based on culture which has a basis in entertainment. And entertainment is based on money. If we show the entertainment industry that there's money in true conservative themes we may be able to slowly change culture.
Entertainment used to be conservative, until the left got hold of the business and started brainwashing the masses.
Yep. God I miss the old Westerns or MASH or even some of the action movies of the 80's. Now everything has to have a message buried in and 9 times out of 10 it's some hippie dippy BS.
Yes, I just got done watching "Chisum" on AMC. At the end of the movie, John Wayne said something along the lines of When people come west, the law comes with them, and when they get there, they find that God has already been there.
You won't likely hear anything like that in the movies today.
You should get a Pulitzer for this bit of writing.
When, and only when, the RNC decides to show Rove and the rest of the supposed king makers, the door, and start listening to "flyover country" folks wants and needs, will the Republicans regain their status as the party of the right way. In the meantime, it's all just a matter of people deciding they are tired of the same old shit from the Dems, and voting them out.
Rove, Coulter and the DC follies all want to be the president makers. Well guess what, all you DC wonks better take notice that over 3 million, that is right 3 million less voted for Romney than McInsane. So what does that tell all you carbon monoxide inhalers there in DC? Those of us who are out in the real America are sick and tired of you weak kneed ass kissing RINOs and the msm picking our candidate. Stop with all the bull shit and let the electoral process play out. Until this happens, my check book and my time are off limits to the RINOs.
At least when SHTF they will have outlived their usefulness, find themselves lynched India-style for their White Privilege.

OMG! This is the religion of peace?
When will people wake up and deal with this?
When the veil of the mainstream media and narrative is completely ripped-off.
Given the current field of Democratic contenders - Biden, Kerry, WDDIM Clinton, Jerry Brown(!?!), Cuomo - Bozo the Clown is starting to look pretty good. Unfortunately you are correct about Bozo mopping the floor with any of the RINOs.
