OUTSIDERism

Like outlawism, but without infringing upon my copyright.

GOP insiders, realists, and pragmatists of the anti-Visigoth stripe might want to pay attention. Because that’s not an armadillo in our trousers. And, pace Juan Williams, et al., news of our collective death has been greatly exaggerated.

(h/t Dave O’C)

    Bingo:

    The key here is the audience — American to their toes — understands exactly that the hosts are as American as they are themselves. Which is to say — Outsiders. And the Outsiders behind the microphones have a considerable ability to articulate precisely what so many millions of Outsiders in their audience are thinking but lack a microphone to broadcast.

    Herman Cain says exactly what we’re thinking. FU Hugh. FU Washington establishment.

    Speak for yourself, pal.

    I plan to keep listening to progressives and GOP beltway insiders on the subject of choosing a presidential candidate as much as I did in 2008, which is not at all.

    They might want to have a word with Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, Rand Paul and a few other people who have recently, um, won elections. Maybe they could touch base with Bob Bennett while they’re at it.

    Herman Cain and the outsiders…Sounds like a great name for a band; of OUTLAWS! that is.

    I have the same plan as cranky-d; pay no mind to the ruling class as to who their primary darling is.

    I WOULD be carrying an armadillo in my trousers except I heard they give you leprosy.

    Bennett?

    ot putzy call of the day:

    baracky says: “All the stuff they’ve asked for, we’ve done,” he said, and the fence along the Mexican border “is now basically complete.” (That’s not true, by the bye). But Republicans want still more, he said. “Maybe they’ll need a moat, maybe they’ll need alligators.”

    newrouter, from the comments: Soaring rhetoric, faux-populism, race-based appeals, straw dogs set on fire, but “no actual news.”

    The permanent campaign rolls on.

    b..bu….but, we need some kind of vetting process. So we can winnow out the fringe candidates who lack in seriousness, as demonstrated by their absence of pragmatism and slight regard for Holy Compromise. How else are we going to all come together and take care of the business the people want taken care of bipartisanly? Where are we going to get our overwhelming mandate for necessary change? I ask you? We only win when we lose more slowly!

    How ’bout some of those scary awesome robots with machine guns and rocket launchers from Robocop patrolling the border? That would be cool.

    Thanks for this, I found it quite heartening.

    “Maybe they’ll need a moat, maybe they’ll need alligators.”

    What a petty and small man.

  13. All the stuff they’ve asked for, we’ve done,

    Ever have a to do a performance review for a guy who just doesn’t get it?

    I guarantee he’ll say the same thing.

    Ever been in a job where you just hate your boss, and every day he’s on your ass for something and it’s just stupid and you could do it in 20 minutes if he would just let you alone, but everything you give him he sends back for you to re-do, and he’s always bitching about you coming in late to other people, and everyone knows he’s on his way out because no one likes him and turn over in his group is just out of control and it’s all because he’s such a pain in the ass, and the only reason you’re on facebook so much is because you have to plan your buddy’s bachelor party and that’s how it’s done these days, and it’s not interfering with your performance at all and if he’s using that as an excuse to run you down he’s got another thing coming because you play softball with his boss and he asks you how the party planning’s going like, every day, and just the other day at Dave and Buster’s the head of the Marketing Department as much as told you that everyone thought your boss was intentionally making it hard for you so he had someone to blame for his performance, and no one likes him any way, and the only reason he’s in the position he’s in is because his wife is like best friends with some bigwig, or maybe they go to church together or cow college, or something, but whatever, this job is so easy and everything would be fine if they would just leave you alone, besides, they hired you for one thing and now they’re asking you to do all of this other stuff that isn’t in the job description and that’s not fair, and the guy you replaced totally screwed everything up, and besides this is just a stepping stone to a real job, a career, where you’ll be your own boss?

    I guarantee you said the same thing.
