The GOP establishment says no more 'Iowa Nice' to Conservatives

If “scorched earth circular firing squad” were an Olympic event, the Republican Party establishment would win the gold medal every time.

Perhaps nowhere is this more true than in my home state of Iowa, where the undocumented Democrat known as Republican Governor (for life) Terry Branstad, and the corporatist shills surrounding him, could be poised to put the finishing touches on a complete rout of their own base. The end result could be the Republican Party of Iowa electing its third chairman in the last 28 months. Then nominating for Congress an agri-business lobbyist who finished fourth in the primary. A lobbyist who has until June 26 to respond to a FEC complaint filed against his campaign for receiving donations that exceed the legal limit.

Good times.

Imagine if these people were as merciless in opposing Democrats and their policies as they are in opposing us? There would be no need for all these primaries and the GOP would again be one, happy big tent. But alas, when those of us who actually believe in the party platform dare to demand a voice in the process, we must be silenced at all costs. If we don’t comply, they’ll use Ronald Reagan’s famed 11th Commandment against us. All the while disregarding it themselves, of course.

1:13-That is exactly what the establishment GOP wants. If they can't win, they would rather have the democrats win than a true representatives of the people. It is more about the people versus the establishment than it is D or R to them. Make no mistake, anything other than the establishment is a threat to the entrenched criminal career politicians democrats and republicans.
