So what is Newts motivation for being a duplicitous double-dealer? Is it purposeful? Malicious?   No, no, no - not in my view. Newt and other GOP moderates (John/Meghan McCain, David Frum, etc.) have taken this “inclusiveness thing” far beyond any sane boundaries. Inclusiveness is good but lets be reasonable. Would you go out and embrace a diamond back rattlesnake? Or include it in your family outings? How about emptying a bag of them out at the next CPAC meeting?   Were it only possible for me to encounter these GOP moderates, grab them by the lapel, slam them against a wall (metaphorically speaking) and in my best Sam Kinison howl/bawl explain to them, “NO! You can’t include and be buddies with Constitution-hating, anti-capitalist, left-wing, transnational progressives!!! They’ll take you down!!!”   And they have. Gingrich and these other GOP moderates have lost much of their credibility. 

So who then? Again, Palin seems to be pulling back. I suspect Todd and the family are applying pressure behind the scenes . And who can blame them. They’ve suffered enough at the hands of the sinister left. I do expect Palin to help out and campaign for the nominee whoever that is. What about Jindal, Huckabee, Pawlenty and Romney? Yawn, yawn. Freakin’ YAWN! No! The Conservative electorate is in no mood for any candidate that even appears to be connected to the GOP Hierarchy. Carefully clipped and groomed by them to one day be their hand-picked, goody-2-shoes nominee. Measured, dulcet tones, genteel rhetoric and always willing to meet our friends on the other side of the isle with a warm smile and handshake. No! There remains a massive distrust between the Conservative Base and the GOP establishment, make no mistake.     The GOP had best understand that they’re not going to slip another moderate or even semi-moderate in on the Conservative electorate such as they did with McCain. The Base fully understands what happened in ’08 and how the GOP Hierarchy, the democrats and the MSM manipulated the primary process to force candidate John McCain upon us.   And the Base won’t be fooled again, be assured. The conventional/traditional GOP type of candidate really has no chance. They’ll be laughed off the stage. Again, the Conservative Base is in no mood for games.

Well then, who among potential GOP candidates would be considered as non-conventional/non-traditional? Who out there among the Republican establishment is stepping up? Taking a leadership position? Speaking out with unrestrained passion and conviction? Throwing political correctness to the wind? [crickets chirping] Ok, need a little more time? Here: (Jeopardy Music) And finally: (game show buzzer). There are none. All available candidates are overly cautious. Playing it safe. Clueless and concerned with protecting their own little patch of turf. They’ve made no effort to re-connect with the Conservative Base nor have they cared to analyze what went wrong on 11/7/06 and 11/4/08. And they don’t deserve, in their present state of dysfunction, to win on 2010. And without winning back the House or Senate (or both) in 2010 there will be little hope for 2012. Obama and his band of Chicago thugs are not like Clinton. They fight ultra dirty and they’re playing for keeps. Long term.

Alright, if there are no GOP establishment types out there that are acceptable to the conservative electorate, then again, who?   ‘Who?’ seems to be the major question that conservative voters are posing to each other. Sounding like a bunch of barn owls.   No leader seems to want to align themselves politically with our ultra massive block of extreme patriotic Civic Nationalists/Civic Conservatives! Oh, certainly the afore mentioned GOP candidates want our votes, yes sir. But keep us at arms length, please. Not wanting to get too close to us - the unwashed masses. And once elected, rest assured that they’ll put even more distance between them/us and can’t wait to do so.

So that leaves us only one option. The responsibility falls on the shoulders of Movement Conservatives.   We must look outside of the GOP establishment and choose our own GOP candidate. Even if we have to write them in on election day! We must find someone who understands that, in order to win, they must drastically depart from the conventional/ traditional GOP political process because they’ll realize that true leaders are now excluded/locked-out of that process in its present state. They’ll know what has to be done and will steer clear of the well traveled political thoroughfares, rigged with ied’s, landmines, booby traps, trip wires and snipers from nearby treetops – metaphorically speaking, of course. This individual will also be aware that in the reclaiming of the GOP for its rightful owners (the Conservative Base) that the worst enemy will “not” be the democrats or MSM. No not the ACLU or ACORN, either. Or the women from The View. The most aggressive adversaries will come from our own deeply rooted GOP Hierarchy and its wicked, long established, miscreant donors who have fought with ruthless abandon to maintain the status quo. A mission that is actually more important to them than winning elections.

You ask, “who would be loony enough to take on a task like that? They’d have to be completely loco. Yet they’d have to simultaneously have a vision. Oh, and name recognition, too. Must be a branded, household name. Already “tried by fire” – heavily scrutinized by the media and other elements. And, lastly, they’d have to be “willing”. Willing to throw caution to the wind and toss their hat in the ring.”

Tall order but I think I have someone in mind. And I, too, think he’s crazy enough to do it. Let me know what you think. Here’s my pick:

·        Shovel Ready…

·        All wee-wee’d up…

Folks let’s start this locomotive movin’ down the tracks. Glenn Beck 2012.
