In 2010, and again in 2012, not one Democrat ran for election on a campaign of higher health insurance premiums, astronomical deductibles, and taxes/fees hidden in the monthly bill from the insurance companies. But that is exactly what they gave the country. They are running on the same platform this year, and just like in 2010 and 2012 they cannot say it openly; so they are desperately searching for something they can say:
Congress is a club that survives by the same rules as every other powerful club survives. The first rule is to protect club members. Congress’ problem is that HillaryCare II is so hated by the American people the club might not be able to protect all of its members. Ergo, Democrats up for election have one hope for survival. They have to rely on the golden rule: It’s us against the American people.
Establishment Republicans declaring war on conservatives is a clear sign of applying the golden rule. Karl Rove’s Republicans not only antagonize conservatives they give Democrats a fighting chance against a weakened Republican party.
Interestingly, John Boehner is leading the charge against conservatives, and he is also the guy that can do the most to take the spotlight off of the Democrat party's platform that I detailed in my opening paragraph. He can do that by working with Senate Democrats who will control the Senate until January of 2015. I think everybody knows how they feel about amnesty for illegal aliens:
Finally, I am convinced that Karl Rove’s Republicans do not want to repeal HillaryCare II. There is just too much money heading for government coffers, and Wall Street, for establishment Republicans to get serious about repeal. From Rove’s perspective it is imperative that Tea Party conservatives not get a bunch of nominations —— followed by flooding the House and Senate with enough victories in November to stop big government in its tracks.
Bottom line: Defeating conservatives rather than defeating Democrats accomplishes two goals for the club.
1. It saves as many incumbent Democrats as is possible under the circumstances.
2. It saves HillaryCare II from repeal.
