The reason for my comments are best understood if you first read this brilliant article by Jeffrey Lord:
There’s a lot rank & file Tea Party conservatives can do when the runup to the midterms shifts into high gear. The first thing they can do is sit on their hands, and their wallets, until after the nominee is chosen. It does not cost a penny to vote for a conservative in a primary; so let Karl Rove’s Republicans spend themselves into homeless shelters backing a loser. It will be doubly painful for establishment Republicans should an establishment candidate get the nomination without the conservative vote —— then surely lose the general election because conservatives stayed home.
In short: Break the media’s grip on picking the nominees by reversing the trend of big money buying nominations with buckets of advertising dollars. The people who work for government and the media are the only people benefitting under the system as it now operates. Nothing is going to get better in this country until the media is held in the same contempt the public now has for Congress and big government.
Doing nothing before the nominating convention still leaves plenty of time to donate time and a few bucks to a conservative nominee you trust. Even if your judgement is flawed it is better to make your own mistakes than it is to make the mistake of believing anything the MSM tells you.
NOTE: The political con job that says “It’s either me or another Democrat.” was terminally ill under Bob Dole, died under John McCain, and was buried by Mitt Romney. The long history of bipartisan “collusion” between establishment Republicans and Democrats that brought the country to today’s sorry state of affairs is proof enough that it matters not which one of the two gets elected. When Republicans had Congress, and the White House with Karl Rove’s boy Bush the Younger in the driver’s seat, they did NOTHING to stop the growth of government.
The number of congressional seats conservatives pick up in 2014 will determine the presidential candidate in 2016. It will do no good to elect a conservative president without first giving him a power base in Congress. Until the number of seats is substantial conservatives should not waste a penny, or an ounce of energy, on presidential politics.
Take this to the bank. Karl Rove’s Republicans would rather see Iran get nuclear weapons than see a truly conservative majority in Congress. The establishment Republicans Jeffrey Lord talked about will spare no expense on the their war to keep a conservative president away from a substantial number of conservatives in Congress. Bloody trench warfare between establishment Republicans and Tea Party conservatives begins in earnest in next year’s primaries.
