The following article by Scott Rasmussen offers an excellent description of the escalating battle in America between the citizenry on the ground and the political oligarchs in Washington D.C.? He examines the Republican Party, which after nominating two of the worst candidates possible in the last two elections (and sabotaging Ron Paul) is in total crisis mode as a political party.? From Rasmussen Reports:
Politico explained that while Washington Democrats have always viewed GOP voters as a problem, Washington Republicans ?in many a post-election soul-searching session? have come to agree.
As seen from the halls of power, the problem is that Republican voters think it?s OK to replace incumbent senators and congressman who don?t represent the views of their constituents. In 2012, for example, Republican voters in Indiana dumped longtime Sen. Richard Lugar in a primary battle.
So, according to Politico, the Washington team is gearing up a new effort to protect incumbents and limit the ability of Republican voters to successfully challenge establishment candidates.
That makes sense to those whose sole goal is winning a majority in Congress rather than changing the course of government policy. Seen from the outside, though, it sounds like the professional politicians are saying that the only way to win is to pick more candidates like the insiders. Hearing that message, the reaction of many Republican and conservative voters is, ?Why bother??
The Republican establishment has two choices. They can act as mature party leaders of a national political party, or they can protect their own self-interest.
Then mature party leaders would chart a realistic course to address these concerns and share those plans with the voters. To succeed, this course would have to include some painful medicine for the establishment, such as giving up corporate welfare programs that benefit their friends and allies.
The Republican Party is a rotting corpse.? The sooner it is thrown into the dustbin of history and replaced by a Liberty/Constitutional Party the better.
