Like Nothing Else

I see the GOP establishment is in “kill” mode again. They are showing me, and others, some truths about the GOP establishment that we might have only suspected in times past. The main truth is this: THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT IN WASHINGTON IS JUST AS CROOKED, JUST AS SLIMY, AND JUST AS GUILTY AS ANYONE ON THE LEFT. They have been such for far too long, and appear to have finally arrived at the point where they are convinced they are untouchable, that their misdeeds will never be punished, and that they will be allowed to abide in their cushy sinecures for the rest of time.

The vicious attempts on Newt Gingrich’s political life are proof that they want no office holder in the White House who has even a smidgin of Conservative blood in his/her body. Conservatives in this day and age are observant and determined, and the GOP cronies’ club knows this and is running scared. Either that, or they will do virtually anything to get another member of their club into the White House to guarantee their jobs.

Is it my imagination, or is the PPC (“permanent political class” a lá Sarah Palin) getting more corrupt by the day/week/month/year? Perhaps, to my ignorant eye, they have actually been this crooked all along, and it has taken me this long to figure it out. Whatever it might be, it’s no wonder none of these guys is standing in the way of legislation aimed at controlling the internet. There is a knowledge there that the internet has been the venue that has revealed the most truth about these people, and they will want to shut it down before any more cats escape from any more croaker-sacks.

At any rate, the idea that Newt Gingrich (or even Rick Santorum) might make it to the finals is scaring the PPC like nothing we’ve seen in a long time. It might interest the PPC to know that more and more voters aren’t that concerned about Newt Gingrich’s past. He has confessed sincerely, repented, changed his life, and moved on. If the political establishment in Washington hates him, that’s fine with us. We don’t WANT anybody in there who is friends with this bunch of turncoats. If they hate him, It means he’s making a lot of cronies nervous, and that is GOOD news!

It’s awfully early in the process to begin with these kinds of attacks. It might signal a couple of things: It might mean that they are truly frightened that Newt will take Florida, and leave their slick-haired golden boy in the dust, or they are getting this stuff out of the way now to clear the way for worse attacks later. Whatever their reasons are, I just pray that Newt can hang on and see this through. The Augean Stables needed a full river to flush them clean, and I suspect that the halls of government aren’t much more sanitary. I hope Newt knows some good hydraulics engineers…
