protein wisdom: “I’m sure that if trees could think, they’d be certain that nothing exists outside the forest in which they find themselves.
“Not to mention, they’d each be instantly smarter than Joe Biden.”

Oh, look! The Beltway Establishment GOP has its own “Baghdad Bob”.
So, at least fifty years after the constitution was ratified.
Would you silly Tea people stop raging at ghosts and vote for Huntsman already?!
george will should stick to things he knows nothing about like jeans.
You’re right Mr. Will. These aren’t the droids I was looking for!
establishment is what happens when the failed vp candidate endorses the failed p candidate for senate even though she knows darn well he’s a cowardly useless geriatric piece of shit I think
hmmm. habit burgers bring out the sass in a pikachu
Is this thread about either you or your bete noire?
Didn’t think so.
what do you think sustains the Team R establishment Mr. Ernst?
I think it’s sustained by a myriad of just ever so slightly cognitively dissonant interactions wherein self-interest and party are set above principle.
nro folks are out tonite saying mr. ryan is the man for precedent. me he should depose mr. tearyeyeorangeman.
There’s a GOP establishment in every state as well.
Around here, they’re the people who are telling me that Tommy Thompson looks like a strong candidate for Herb Kohl’s seat.
Yes, people tell me this. By phone and by email. Using very similar pitches. I should get on board. He’s gonna be a strong candidate and he’ll probably remember those who rallied around his flag from the beginning.
In the context of all Palin has done, I’ll give her the McCain thing. Arizona voters ultimately re-elected McCain, and if any of them were influenced by Palins endorsement, unconcerned with how it would work out for Palin if she didn’t endorse her former running mate, that’s on them.
At least they didn’t vote for the democrat.
In the context of all Palin has done, I’ll give her the McCain thing.
all I’m saying is such is the stuff that establishments are made of, right there
JFK was the “Republican Party establishment”? Who knew?
>>There’s a GOP establishment in every state as well.
Yup. Here its all LL Bean and golf and “Who’s gonna run things? You? LOL” They all go to the same restaurants, get their kids jobs at the County, sack anyone that gets outta line, etc. You don’t touch their Cheetos, man.
Oh, they appreciate all you Teabaggers are doing to promote Team R but they wish you would shut up and stop embarrassing them. Oh, and donate and vote. But shut up.
There is a Republican establishment and its craving some Romney. It doesn’t want Bachmann or Palin, and when it comes to Rick Perry it’s on the fence. The establishments loves them some cowboys, so long as it can keep people from finding out that the cowboy’s much-applauded “jobs” miracle was mostly done by increasing Texas state jobs, not private sector jobs. And that the private sector jobs he did create were mostly of the Wal-Mart/McDonalds variety.
its all LL Bean
Think I might have reversed that blockquote tag somehow.
I think it’s sustained by the people that belong to it, some of whom are compromised by the kind of give and take of politics as politics that seems to have become an end in and of itself lately. If I were you, I’d be more worried about Paul Ryan getting seduced down that path, like Cantor. Palin’s already been judged unworthy.
And if you really believe that principle before party and/or self-interest shit, you need to take a more better serious look at Bachmann. She walks the walk, and all you can do is get all catty about her strut.
I don’t mind there being an establishment. I don’t even mind the establishment holding a position or two that is not to my preference so long as the have the balls to lay those particular cards out on the table.
What I do to hell mind is an establishment promising me long walks on the beach and pina coladas, while delivering a short walk through the mall’s food court and kool-aide in a dixie cup…and expecting me to put out. Again.
Metorphorically speaking, that is. The gall of these people is utterly gobsmacking.
What’s great about all the Team R candidates is that they are not blank slates upon which we project our hopes.
Didn’t you get the memo? Obama created those jobs with his stimulus.
a brain fart emotes
“And that the private sector jobs he did create were mostly of the Wal-Mart/McDonalds variety.”
oh the horrors.
Or maybe I didn’t get the memo in which Team-O! admitted that they couldn’t own the small successes without owning the grand failures as well, and thus the Obama created those jobs in Texas narrative is no longer operative.
“And that the private sector jobs he did create were mostly of the Wal-Mart/McDonalds variety.”
jobs with benifits are bad now.
Nah Mr Gray, Perry is a kind of “Our Sort” in that he’s a Guv’ner of an Electorally important State and enough of a team player that they can wink past the rest. They don’t mind public jobs at all, nor McJobs. The public jobs are good places to put up Biff and the McJobs keep the riffraff occupado. Dunno who sold you that bill of goods.
Mr. Ernst I like Mr. Perry he will be the best candidate for America. I’m a help make him president and then we can all start digging this sad little country out of the hole it’s fallen into.
I’m giddy with excitement! There’s a light at the end of the obamarape tunnel!
I don’t like Bachmann I think she is an ugly ugly person – you know – inside. And plus I think she would be bad for America, unlike Mr. Perry, who would be a super duper president and you wouldn’t have to keep your eye on him all the time. He’s kinda like one of them robot vacuums.
We don’t need benefits from private employers anymore, newrouter.
After all, Obama has promised a CEO in every pot.
The memo I got said all those jobs were because of the high oil prices and military spending on the wars and Obama wants a thank you or at least a good harrumph.
Must have gone past it’s expiration time.

Radical Far Left Mob Arrested in St. Louis During Street Protest (Video)
Memo I got said it was all those Illinois, Calif, and Michigan folks moving to Texas with their companies that are bugging out faster than you can say ‘exit tax.’
I’d like to see a list of all the corporations that have pulled up roots and headed for red states. Especially Texas. And brought the jobs with them. Those folks are gonna need some more Walmarts and McDonalds to serve them in their growing burbs, I think. Trickle Down baby!
Since illegal immigration doesn’t seem to be one of your issues that call for principle before self-interested partisan politics, I’m not surprised.
Why does Perry hate poor white people who just want to work? /sarc
“He’s kinda like one of them robot vacuums.”
bush/texasestablishment bot i’m sure.
Mr. Perry defends the border real good using troops and stuff and I appreciate it cause knowing Mr. Perry is on the case makes me sleep just that much better.
Anybody remember that story from a year or so ago about fucking pirates on the Rio Grande murdering some guy out boating with the family?
You let me know when the Texas navy takes control of the Rio Bravo, eh?
If I deny that George Will exists, will he disappear in a puff of improbability?
“I appreciate it cause knowing Mr. Perry is on the case makes me sleep just that much better.”
howabout jerry brown
texas our texas all hail the mighty state!
clapclapclap
wait til the californicators move in and take it down.
George will what?
mr. perry

any thoughts on why mr. eric erickson of redstate who took mr. cain’s talk show is now mr. perry’s blow up doll?
cause Mr. Perry is explosively awesome like mentos and coke
perry mason was gay
hamilton burgher was ugly
wait til the californicators move in and take it down.
They are rather like locusts in that respect. See New Hampshire and the Mass exodus for the unfortunate results.
i can move back too!
I’m bringin’ staunchy back!
the only person that should wear a bowtie is cary grant
there outta be a law
Sterling as usual provides fact free assertions.
Oh, and Ernst, while the family attacked by lake pirates suggested all sorts of business ideas involving pirate safaris, they foundered on the simple fact that the Feds would rather arrest us than the pirates. Which is why Gov Perry hasn’t sent the Guard to the border; he’s just not sure it’s the right time for that second civil war.
However, Perry started making preparations for improving the Rangers response along the border in 2008. Always remember, what the media will cover is only a fraction of what’s being done when it comes to border security.
Sterling isn’t here to give us facts. He’s here to let us know the leftist talking points.
“I’m bringin’ staunchy back!”
Dream on. You can’t stand anything with a vagina getting near actual authority and power, and if any other candidate is not completely in line with you on every single issue you freak out. That isn’t staunchness, that’s idiotic dogmatism. The only thing you are conservative on is finance. Social concerns, foreign policy, defense? On those you are somewhere to the left of Dennis Kucinich and Amanda Marcotte, and that makes you an outlier and one that is easily dismissed.
Have you thought of forming your own political party? It might be your only hope.
Always with the trees again.
OK Mr. Will, then we can go ahead and disband the RNC and other grasping gaggles of fools – un-needed instruments that exist to serve nonexistant interests, eh?
“If there were a Republican Establishment, then we wouldn’t be hearing from all these ignorant hicks in flyover land all the time.”
i i i wanna go o o all the way ay ay
taking out my staunch tonight
Republican establishment = spoon.
Liar.
Wait, you mean “sterling” memorized a lefty talking point and has worked harder on dropping it “naturally” and “conversationally” than he ever did to check its veracity?
Why, I’m SHOCKED!
It upsets me that Sterling would deceive me so nonchalantly.
I thought you were different, Sterling! Not like all the other boys!
I suppose that’s possible, Jeff, but I’m just going to assume that he knew it was false and put it out there anyway. Fair play, gander sauce, and all that.
