Republican Civil War: While Charles Schumer and the #SalonHot25 Mourn the Retirement of Jeff Flake, Real Conservatives Point Out His Habit of Carrying Liberal WaterThis guy, Jason Johnson, is a former Ted Cruz strategist, and now is at an outfit called J2 communications. He posted a series of tweets discussing the #SalonHot25's/Weekly Standard's/Chuck Schumer's favorite liberalitarian Senator. 1) Tempting to comment on Flake’s floor speech. Instead, offering context on his view of “governing” by highlighting a few of his votes. The liberal wing of the "conservative" movement has the sadz about this, claiming that we lost a "libertarian" voice and a staunch advocate of limited government. How is the guy voting repeatedly for huge omnibus spending bills and clean (no strings attached) debt increases a fighter for limited government? The guy who fought for the Import-Export bank and for the Newton gun grab is a "libertarian"? At what point do the #SalonHot25/Weekly Standard/etc. drop the pose of pretending they're SUPER-DUPER Conservatives, which is why they're always attacking us, and just admit the obvious truth -- they're left-leaning Rockefeller Republicans who prefer their conservatism, if at all, to be in the form of rhetoric in campaigns, and not in the form of any actual real-world policy expression? @Drew_McCoy -- the coblogger formerly known as "DrewM." -- posted this: Something I don't think enough professional Republicans understand/appreciate about the frustration with guys like Flake... I've been saying that for a long time too (though I was reading Drew and talking to him on podcasts, so I may have just been influenced by him). But I began to see what we now call "the Establishment" preached the importance of coalition politics during voting season, and then entirely forgot about coalition politics during governing season, giving the Corporate Class/Rockefeller Republicans all that they wanted (corporate favors) and nothing that they didn't (any icky conservative "social" policy), treating the actual base like whores they just fucked when they needed a quick release. Every two years they'd give us the 2am "U up?" sext and then forget all about us the morning after the election. Both sides, or rather all factions (as there are more than two sides) need to get something out of the deal. One faction can't get everything, or else the other factions get resentful and, ultimately -- mutinous. Drew adds: And don't tell me the professional GOP wing are the adults in the room. Welcome to the mutiny, Ye Traitorous, Cowardly Captains. Ye will be made to walk the plank. It might not right the ship, but at least we'll have the pleasure of being rid of you. Oh, and enjoy this clip of Laura Ingraham noting, correctly, that Jeff Flake's speech could have just as easily been given by Charles Schumer or Nancy Pelosi. Obviously true, given that Charles Schumer praised his very good ally Jeff Flake, saying "he will be missed." An extra vote for Democrats on all the tough votes-- yeah, I'll say you'll miss him all right. What would Charles Schumer do without all of his Corkers, Collinses, and Cornyns, his McCains, McConnells, and Murkowskis? There is no more useful soldier than one you've positioned inside the enemy camp, let alone one you've placed in the enemy's command structure. He includes this fine tribute from that most super-duper libertarian/conservative institution, CNN:
Yes, when CNN's political director is praising a nominal "Republican's" speech as "historic," you can read that to mean "supportive of the progressive establishment's narrative and political agenda." Out with the old. In with the... whoever. I don't care. But out with the old. More: You won't believe this, but all the leftwing Journ0Listers are somehow all saying the same thing, yet again:
