The media season for planting a Republican party presidential candidate has begun in earnest. The 2016 crop consists of Marco Rubio and Chris Christie. Hardly a bumper crop when you look at the number of Republican seedlings the media had to pick from.

As usual, the media will do its best to nominate a Republican that Democrats can live with à la Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Those three losers should tell Tea Party conservatives it’s time to begin the process of pruning the wannabes. Right off the bat Rubio and Christie are dead on the vine.

Even if Rubio can shake off his commitment to amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens he is not a guy Tea Partiers conservatives should trust in foreign policy:


Americans must be involved in leading the world... we cannot ignore the reality of who we are and the global importance of this nation.

He pled with younger Americans to consider what their world will look like in ten years if we do nothing.

Younger Americans better ask what their world will be like if American presidents continue believing they are destined to preside over a New World Order instead of looking out for America first.

But how will he practically influence the world without directly getting involved militarily?

Rubio's Middle Ground | The American Spectator

I can answer the question. Influence the world by turning the US military over to the United Nations for the common good. There is justification for my answer:

Rubio hopped in bed with the Council on Foreign Relations way back when the bloom was still on his rose:


It turns out Rubio did indeed address the CFR in New York on May 31. According to New York Magazine, Rubio talked foreign policy during a discussion and Q&A. The CFR one-world government crowd was apparently very enamored with Rubio, according to the magazine.

Rubio did not try to hide the fact he rubbed elbows with the globalists.


Bet on this: Rubio must hide his love affair with the globalists. My guess is that he thinks a little doublespeak is the only thing he needs to cash in on all of Barack Taqiyya’s foreign policy disasters. He’ll have do a lot better than doublespeak because all of Barack Taqiyya’s foreign policy disasters originated with the global government crowd. You know a Democrat will give conservatives more of the same. Nominating Rubio makes it a lock.

Next up for the pruning shears

Nobody knows where Chris Christie stands on giving America’s sovereignty over to global government. Hell, nobody know where he stands on US membership in the UN.

Everybody does know that Christie is a Northeast liberal. New Jersey is a big government state. New Jersey is among the states with the nation’s highest property taxes; highest paid government employees, and highest paid teachers. The cost of public education per child in New Jersey averages over $18,000 a year. As far as as I know Christie did nothing to reverse the cost of big government, or reverse big government itself. Bottom line: New Jersey’s liberal voters did not elect Christie because of his conservatism.

NOTE: Northeast liberal can be a political posture or geographic. Christie is both as is Romney.

Christie said this at CPAC:


We need to start talking about what we’re for….not what we’re against.

Not only are we against Obamacare…higher taxes…bigger government…more intrusion into our constitutional rights…but we’re for a free market society that allows your effort and ingenuity to determine your success, not the cold, hard hand of government to determine winners and losers, which is what this administration has been about.

Christie Talks Conservatism, His Future

Christie Talks Conservatism, His Future | The American Spectator

This conservative wants to hear Christie explain how he intends to implement what conservatives are against before he talks about doing anything else. I doubt if anybody wants to hear “We don’t get to govern if we don’t win.” That’s just a variation of the same old bullcrap conservatives heard from McCain and Romney.

Whoever the eventual nominee is, I sure hope he is not going win over Democrat voters by promising to work across the aisle. Christie and Rubio are big on that bullshit. Rubio proved it with his participation in the Gang of Eight, and Christie brags about doing it in New Jersey. Working across the aisle gave the country the welfare state, pubic education, and UN-loving quislings immune from prosecution.

Finally, establishment Republicans still have not heard the message. They cannot win the presidency without conservative votes. Tea Partiers must never lose sight of that fact after the media blitz intensifies for their choice.
 
There’s one thing missing in every commentary about sovereignty in general. Nobody means sovereignty. They all mean sovereignty within the framework of the United Nations. Putin means sovereignty under Russia’s umbrella.

Laura Ingraham is right about Marco Rubio and what Americans want.



NOTE: UN-lovers oppose empire at the same they advocate giving the United Nations the full authority of a sovereign state. I can only hope that Ingraham, and others, with a public voice will start defining sovereignty without the United Nations in the equation. One thing is certain. Most Americans do not want our military fighting for the United Nations, or for the global government crowd.

Here is one observation on the Ukraine. Rubio and the people he is lining up with would walk away from the Ukraine’s conflict with Russia if Ukrainians announced they wanted full sovereignty; that is independence from Russia, and from the United Nations.
 
A lot of the stuff I’m reading about Karl Rove’s Republicans belong in “No kidding” territory.

GOP strategist Karl Rove​

When it comes to picking a presidential candidate for 2016, the GOP elite is having a hard time getting the grassroots to toe the establishment line.

XXXXX

Rove, for example, blasted potential presidential hopeful Ted Cruz for not playing ball with the GOP establishment, just as the Texas senator’s name started to gain traction with Republican voters.
Rove similarly opened fire on Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for talking about Monica Lewinsky and potential Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the same breath.

XXXXX

But now a poll on one of the Internet’s top websites, the Drudge Report, reveals the ground troops just aren’t buying it.

XXXXX

Other recent polls of favorite presidential picks showed the same stark division between political conservatives and the GOP elite.

Drudge readers surprise GOP elite for prez

This next one has been understood by conservatives long enough to belong in the “You wouldn’t shit me would you!” category.

“If I’m given the opportunity to lead the United States Senate next year, I won’t let you down,” McConnell said.

You have to wonder who McConnell thinks he is fooling:

But Viguerie doesn’t believe the promises.

“Well, that’ll be a first for him because his entire Senate life has been spent growing government, and that’s why we have a tea party today, because of the failure of the Republican leaders,” he said. “When they’re in power, they act like Democrats, except they grow government a little slower than the Democrats do.”

Rove’s Republicans say whatever it takes when they are on-camera, then laugh like hell at the suckers after they screw them again. The fact is that nobody ever believes a Democrat. At long last conservative Americans know better than to believe anything Karl Rove’s Republicans say. If there is one truth in presidential politics it is this:
Karl Rove’s Republicans will find a way to NOT repeal the ACA. There is just too much money going to the people Congress represents to turn back now. That's why:


“The opportunity to save America and return America to limited government and constitutional government is in the primaries,” . . .

Top reason conservatives can?t take America back
 
Is that the same Karl Rove who couldn't drag the last two republican dweebs across the finish line?

To HelenaHandbag: That’s him. He’s living on his dubious success with Bush the Younger who turned out to be a big disappointment. When Rove’s Republicans had the Congress under Bush they did not do a damn thing to slow the growth of government. Except for taking the war to Islam after 9-11-2001 Democrats were in charge of everything else.
 
Jeb Bush should not be in the hunt. One reason: The media likes him. Aside from that he should be pruned before he gets started:

Jeb Bush's "Foundation for Excellence in Education" is also saturating the airwaves with ads trying to salvage Common Core in the face of truly bipartisan, truly grassroots opposition in his own home state of Florida. As I've reported previously, the former GOP governor's foundation is tied at the hip to the federally funded testing consortium called PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers), which pulled in $186 million through the Obama administration's Race to the Top program to develop Common Core tests.

One of the Bush foundation's top corporate sponsors is Pearson, the multibillion-dollar educational publishing and testing conglomerate. Pearson snagged $23 million in contracts to design the first wave of PARCC test items and $1 billion for overpriced, insecure Common Core iPads purchased by the Los Angeles Unified School District, and is leading the $13.4 billion edutech cash-in catalyzed by Common Core's technology mandates.

In December, you should know, the state of New York determined that Pearson's nonprofit foundation had abused the law by siphoning charitable assets to benefit its for-profit arm in order to curry favor with the Common Core-peddling Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Pearson paid a $7.7 million settlement after the attorney general concluded that the company's charitable arm was marketing Common Core course material it believed could be sold by the for-profit side for "tens of millions of dollars." After being smoked out, the Pearson Foundation sold the courses to its corporate sibling for $15.1 million.

So you think the teabbaggers made up of uneducated half dead bitter old white guys will win in a national election? “The demographics race we’re losing badly,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.). “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
Frankly, it may just take fifteen or twenty years for the old racists to slowly die off and get replaced by a younger generation

“Republican” Renee Ellmers ain’t running for the White House; nevertheless she needs more than pruning. She should be recalled before this November:

In a constituent meeting gone awry that was captured on shaky, amateur video, embattled Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) berated a group of local activists who oppose amnesty legislation, suggesting they were racist and saying they didn't have “any damn facts.”

If Ellmers wants damn facts how about this one: GIVING ILLEGAL ALIENS AMNESTY IS A REWARD FOR BREAKING THE LAW.

And here comes the standard horse manure John McCain has been spreading since 2008:
