Cocktail Republicans Need to Go Found a New RINO Party with Romney at Head?

New York Times columnist David Brooks has a tendency to upset a lot of conservatives because he takes positions that are usually more moderated. And his reasoning in making a case for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney seems to be an instance of just that, pragmatism trumping ideology.

On Friday’s airing of “NewsHour” on PBS, Brooks explained that while the country is clamoring for a GOP presidential nominee like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, his nomination might not be the wisest thing for the country.

“Yes, I mean as Mark [Shields] says, [Christie] has this phenomenal, rare skill of talking about wonky issues in a normal way and that is just not something that comes along every day,” Brooks said. “And so he has that skill. But to follow Mark’s metaphor, I agree the Republican primary electorate wants the guy with the leather jacket. But I think the country wants the guy from the rotary club. I think they want the Mitt Romney guy, because we are in a very scary period.”

Brooks warned that if crisis strikes, an aggressive individual like Christie would be less effective than the more moderated Romney.

“I expect, before the election, there is going to be more bad news from Europe or somewhere else. And my presumption is, on elections, people always vote for the candidate who seems safer and more orderly,” Brooks continued. “Obama seemed more orderly than McCain after the financial meltdown. Bush seemed more orderly. Whether they are really going to want somebody like Chris Christie, who is rambunctious and big and not exactly orderly, I`m not convinced. I think the Republicans should be pretty happy with Romney.”

On the orderly class, Plato, "Statesman"
STRANGER: The difference between the two classes is often a trivial concern; but in a state, and when affecting really important matters, becomes of all disorders the most hateful.

YOUNG SOCRATES: To what do you refer?

STRANGER: To nothing short of the whole regulation of human life. For the orderly class are always ready to lead a peaceful life, quietly doing their own business; this is their manner of behaving with all men at home, and they are equally ready to find some way of keeping the peace with foreign States. And on account of this fondness of theirs for peace, which is often out of season where their influence prevails, they become by degrees unwarlike, and bring up their young men to be like themselves; they are at the mercy of their enemies; whence in a few years they and their children and the whole city often pass imperceptibly from the condition of freemen into that of slaves.

YOUNG SOCRATES: What a cruel fate!

STRANGER: And now think of what happens with the more courageous natures. Are they not always inciting their country to go to war, owing to their excessive love of the military life? they raise up enemies against themselves many and mighty, and either utterly ruin their native-land or enslave and subject it to its foes?

YOUNG SOCRATES: That, again, is true.

STRANGER: Must we not admit, then, that where these two classes exist, they always feel the greatest antipathy and antagonism towards one another?

YOUNG SOCRATES: We cannot deny it.

STRANGER: And returning to the enquiry with which we began, have we not found that considerable portions of virtue are at variance with one another, and give rise to a similar opposition in the characters who are endowed with them?

YOUNG SOCRATES: True.

STRANGER: Let us consider a further point.

YOUNG SOCRATES: What is it?

STRANGER: I want to know, whether any constructive art will make any, even the most trivial thing, out of bad and good materials indifferently, if this can be helped? does not all art rather reject the bad as far as possible, and accept the good and fit materials, and from these elements, whether like or unlike, gathering them all into one, work out some nature or idea?

YOUNG SOCRATES: To, be sure.

STRANGER: Then the true and natural art of statesmanship will never allow any State to be formed by a combination of good and bad men, if this can be avoided; but will begin by testing human natures in play, and after testing them, will entrust them to proper teachers who are the ministers of her purposes—she will herself give orders, and maintain authority; just as the art of weaving continually gives orders and maintains authority over the carders and all the others who prepare the material for the work, commanding the subsidiary arts to execute the works which she deems necessary for making the web.

YOUNG SOCRATES: Quite true.
Weaving the Republican peplos is never an easy task. It can be as difficult as Athena's defeat of Enceladus in the battle against the Gigantes.

For me it's a simple matter of looking at how the most anti-Obomneycare candidates are doing in the polls, and where the most anti-Obomneycare candidates are directing their efforts.

Tim Pawlenty, who coined the term "Obomneycare," has dropped out of the running before a primary vote took place anywhere.

Michelle Bachmann and Herman Cain have doubled down on attacking Rick Perry.

Rick Perry has adopted the odd tactic of attacking himself, entering debates half-asleep.

Ron Paul is off message now that his al-Qaeda Facebook friends are dead.

Newt Gingrich is sitting back watching the amateurs destroy each other.

Rick Santorum is standing to everyone's right hoping the Tea Party figures out Donald Trump was never a conservative voice.

John Huntsman is standing to everyone's left hoping the Tea Party remembers he was there for them when Lu Xiaobo was running his mouth in China instead of locked up in a political prison.

Gary Johnson has bong hits for everyone.

Now there's a Tea Party call to get a pro-abortion, anti-gun Chris Christie type in the race.

It's all Mitt Romney's to win by default because his largest threats in the GOP debates are steadily eliminating each other.

Perhaps it would not be so if the Tea Party "movement" knew what a conservative was, much less how to attract their support.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

...but they won't, because the Tea Party "movement" is the disgruntled KKK wing of the Democratic Party waiting for Hillary Clinton to return.

Joe Conservative said...

Thanks for all your concern about all the imaginary conservatives that are currently contemplating running, beamish. But then pretending that there ARE no conservatives in the field, merely plays to Romney's hand...

Qui bene from a "there are no conservatives" argument, beamish? The same candidate who argues about the un-electability of "conservative" candidates.

"Qui bene?" - Cicero

Joe Conservative said...

Two birds of a feather... O'Bromneycare supporters... and beamish!

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Once you get past all the "I hate niggers and Mexicans" boilerplate, there just isn't much substance to the Tea Party "movement."

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

I am no supporter of Romney nor Obomneycare.

I just don't see how you get rid of either by rallying behind the Tea Party's Hillarycare socialists.

Joe Conservative said...

Because there are only going to be three alternatives, beamish... and the imaginary "conservative" you support is never going to jump into the race... and face it, you can't even NAME him.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

But then pretending that there ARE no conservatives in the field, merely plays to Romney's hand...

I'm not trying to draft Chris Christie. It's Hillary Clinton's Tea Party "movement" that is trying to go 0 for 6 on backing a conservative after drafting Ron Paul, Donald Trump, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry to run and finding no support there from actual conservatives.

Here's a challenge. Why don't you Teabaggers take off your Che Guevara T-shirts, shower off the gay pride glitter from CPAC, and see if you can draft a candidate more conservative than John McCain.

::crickets::

Joe Conservative said...

Perfect isn't running in this election. There are only "lesser weevils".

Joe Conservative said...

...and I see little daylight between Obamacare and O'BRomneycare.

Joe Conservative said...

Poor Beamish... no one will "give him" a conservative to his liking to vote for. And he can't be bothered drafting his own candidate. What's a poor girl like beamish to do?

Joe Conservative said...

Bitch and moan... and then get strapped over a barrel and f'd like a little girl deserves, I suppose. ;)

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

How's that? I'm supporting Santorum until you Teabaggers force him out of the race and I have to write myself in.

Joe Conservative said...

Don't worry, beamish. When Romney wins the Republican nomination, we can all work with Sarah Palin to get Obama re-elected.... and then we'll both have the satisfaction of having stood on the purity of our principles.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Obama's re-election is a foregone conclusion at this point in the race. Especially with all the Tea Party catering to Obama's lost left-wing followers (i.e. John Huntsman's last stand against Romney this coming spring).

My satisfaction will be similar to the satisfaction I have now - watching the Tea Party eat itself.

Joe Conservative said...

You think that if there weren't any other Tea Party candidates in the race that Santorum would beat Romney? If it were a head-to-head race w/o ANY Tea Party support...

BWAH-HA-HA-HA... the cocktail party Republicans would ALL vote for Romney! Santorum has NO support OUTSIDE of the Tea Party!

Joe Conservative said...

Your satisfaction will be voting for the winner in the current RNC slugfest, which you are trying to GUARANTEE will be Romney!


BWAH-HA-HA-HA. Hara-Kiri has a new name. It's Beamish!

Joe Conservative said...

You're all sour-grapes laced with cynicism. You'll GET the candidate you deserve.

Joe Conservative said...

Your scratching like a cat in a litterbox trying to re-bury Enceladus. Celebrate his re-birth Beamish. Don't whine like a little girl.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

No, on the contrary, if / when Romney wins the GOP nomination, it will prove that the Tea Party narrative that John McCain lost to Obama because "he was a RINO / not conservative enough" is composed entirely of bullshit.

Shit, I'll make my challenge easier. Why don't you Teabaggers strip off your Che Guevara T-Shirts, wash off the CPAC Twilight vampire glitter, and draft a candidate more conservative than Romney?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

If the Tea Party is allegedly so opposed to Romney, why all the effort against Rick Perry?

Joe Conservative said...

lol! Sorry, little girl, but your babysitter won't do your dirty dishes for you. You'll have to take some responsibility and do THOSE yourself.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

If Chris Christie joins the race, can we look forward to Michelle Bachmann talking about obesity?

Joe Conservative said...

why all the effort against Rick Perry?

Qui bene?

Someone is going to win the GOP nomination. And so long as there's a Tea Party, it WON'T be Mitt Romney.

Joe Conservative said...

Sarah Palin is waiting to play White Knight. She's got five "stalking horses" in the race. When there's only one left, she'll jump in.

Joe Conservative said...

...and then you'll have your choice. Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, or Mitt Romney. And Mitt is stuck at 25% under ANY Tea Party Candidate scenario.

Joe Conservative said...

If your lucky, she'll let Rick Santorum play the token "cocktail party Republican" role as VP.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

lol! Sorry, little girl, but your babysitter won't do your dirty dishes for you. You'll have to take some responsibility and do THOSE yourself.

LOL! I, like most Americans, realize the Tea Party "movement" is simply Hillary Clinton's KKK wing of the Democratic Party looking to poison the GOP primaries with her freakshow -

Michelle Bachmann - a welfare hoarding tax cheat married to a gay man

Rick Perry - aka the Governor of northern Mexico

Herman Cain - even has a 3 point plan to put his shoes on

Interesting theory, along the lines of McCain's 2008 stalking horses (Guiliani, Thompson)

If it knocks Romney out of the race (it won't) it would have the same result against Obama, but worse...

Get used to the concept, Beamish. Because unless our next President actually has more on the ball than TotUS, the Republican label is going to look extremely dull against a pile a dogsh*t.

And Romney doesn't have the cajones it's going to take to inflict the economic pain necessary to turn this economy around.

We need a hard-nosed President, not another brown nosed one.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

BWHAHAHAHA!

Depends on who's to defend the "family name."

To hear the freakshow populist coalition of national socialists and communists that call themselves the Tea Party "movement" tell it, the Republican "name" should only be carried by avatistic racists (Ron Paul, Michelle Bachmann), closeted homos (Michelle Bachmann via her husband, and Rick Perry), big business tax cheats (Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain), and hypocritical fringe "Christians" (Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin).

The Tea Party "movement" is what happens when you ask Thomas Nast to draw a caricature of left-wing smears of Republicans.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

...that too would change, if the Tea Party "movement" knew how to attract conservatives into its fold.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Your imaginary conservative party of 1 at the RNC Convention has a LOT to be commended going for it, beamish, unanymity being its' foremost. Unfortunately, it's not very suitable attribute for a nation that elects its' leaders by majority vote.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

There will be plenty of conservatives at the RNC convention.

I just wonder why they never show up at Tea Party events.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

I will give Herman Cain credit for taking time out from his stemwinding defenses of Mitt Romney vs. Rick Perry to tell us Chris Christie is "too liberal."

I guess that's better than Michelle Bachmann's "too fat" argument.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

BWAH-HA-HA-HA!

"Attract Conservatives into its fold..."

A real conservative wouldn't go within 1,000 yards of ANY political event, RNC, DNC OR other.

A REAL conservative is too busy doing what HE wants to do than care about what the rest of us are up to. The only way you'll ever get a REAL conservative into office is if he were to usurp the office by force in order to pursue his own agenda.

And there are no "White Knights" coming to save us from the evil dragons. Enceladus feet may be covered with dragon's scales, but the dragon's teeth/ eggs are generally held in higher regard.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

So much for your "Republican" conservatives.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Then I'll simply ask you (again squared if not cubed) to recite for me what is "conservative" about each of the following:

Ron Paul
Donald Trump
Michelle Bachmann
Herman Cain
Rick Perry
Chris Christie

I have no illusions that Mitt Romney, John Huntsman, or Gary Johnson are "conservatives" (though of them, Gary Johnson is far more credibly "conservative" than any of those two.)

Rick Santorum is unassailable as an across-the-board conservative. Newt Gingrich STOPPED Rick Perry's beloved Hillarycare from becoming law.

So, Teabagger, where is the "conservatism" the CPAC glitter fags of the Tea Party "movement" claim they see in Ron Paul, Donald Trump, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Chris Christie?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

I didn't start this "RINO / not conservative enough" vetting process. You Teabaggers did, the first time Mitt Romney didn't win the GOP nomination.

Your "movement" has failed to find a candidate more conservative than John McCain, and two of its "darlings" actually abdicated their duties as Congressmen and campaigned hard to make Obamacare permanent (there is no other way to describe campaign support for Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle).

I'm not asking for perfection. A conservative candidate will do.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Hey, I'd vote for either of THEM [Santorum and Gingrich] if they got the nomination. But why are BOTH of them below Romney McBamacare in the polls?

Because Obama has no primary challengers, so the disgruntled KKK wing of the Democratic Party is jamming the Republican primaries with Hillary Clinton / Tea Party proxies.

If the Tea Party "movement" has an actual conservative alternative to Romney in their ranks, why aren't they deploying them?

I don't want to hold my nose and vote for Romney, and I sure as hell don't want to swim in the left-wing Teabagger sewer.

I'll probably write myself in.

Beamish in '12. When you're not just through f'ing yourself.

It's a shame your fat boy didn't join the party this go round. I guess you're stuck waiting for a conservative Godot...

Here he is again, beamish waiting for Godot.

Mitch Daniels is right. There aren't enough grownups in the running. Chris Christie's got enough years left in his term to "mature" his record, and hey even Marco Rubio will have a full Senate term under his belt. No half-ass Sarah Palin ADHD candidates in the GOP come 2016.

It sucks that we have to suffer four more years of Obama to get there.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

But hey, that early-bird GOP primary in Rubio's state might just surprise both of us.

Are you sure it will end the true romance of the Ron Paul r3v0£ution?

The Absolute Marxist said...

You'll WISH Obama was going to be re-elected in 2012 so that you might have a conservative "white knight" hristie/Rubio President in 2016, and all the pain that this country is going to go through for the next 4 years would be attributed to Democrat malfeasance, just as the past THREE have... but THAT isn't going to happen.

This country isn't suffering from Democrat malfeasance. It's suffering from Democrat AND Republican malfeasance.

And I can GUARANTEE you one thing. The time for Democrat/Republican establishment clowns "taking turns" screwing up is over.

The Absolute Marxist said...

Ron Paul would be 10x the President Mitt Romney could ever be. The same goes for almost everybody ELSE currently in the race. The "go-along to get along" RNC-DNC alliance days are over. We're going laissez-faire. The eyeglasses for Plutus days of government selected winners-losers in the economy are over. You're on your own, Americans. Liberty offers no guarantees that the poor and oppressed are going to survive.

Ron Paul would be 10x the President Mitt Romney could ever be.

If Ron Paul ran for President ten times, he might cumulatively get as many votes as Romney did in the 2008 primaries.

Besides, Ron Paul only does what the Kremlin and SAVAK tell him to do.

Transparency in communism LOL. You Nader-baggers are silly.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Does your sock puppet collective prefer the term "Nadercons" or "Teabagger Nads?" I don't want to offend.

Speedy G said...

Try using 'conservatives'. It's as accurate as the beamish characterization of the word.

So which of his wealthy donors did Romney blow today, beamish? The old Bush donors? Or the new Obama ones? Unless you're plugged into him 24/7, your never going to channel his message accurately.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Teabagger Nads it is, then.

Personally, I don't care who gives money to what candidate. For one, they're not giving my money away, and for two, no one has ever paid me to VOTE a certain way.

How much money do your fellow Nadbaggers need to dig up pictures of Rick Perry hunting at Camp Niggerhead?

Speedy G said...

I hate to tell you this beamish, but you don't have a VOTE in Congress. You already gave it away to Mitt.

And what I want to know is, how much did the Koch brothers pay YOU to paint the word "niggerhead" under every other rock in East Texas?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

I haven't given anything to Romney. I don't even give him credit for doing so well in the polls, given his opposition are all far leftists.

And what I want to know is, how much did the Koch brothers pay YOU to paint the word "niggerhead" under every other rock in East Texas?

Quid pro quo. How much is George Soros paying you to be an idiot?

Speedy G said...

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Why are you Nadbaggers running interference for Romney?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Sarah Palin is probably Romney's biggest supporter, what with her leaving her "stalking horses" to be decimated and never entering the race herself.

I guess that makes her part of the grand establishment conspiracy, huh?

You never should have trusted her. RINO McCain Jedi mind tricked you into liking her LOL.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

There sure is a lot of "quit" in the Teabagger dogs, isn't there? "I'm gonna go rogue and quit!"

Conservatives want candidates that will fight.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

lol! Sarah Palin is the Ace up the sleeve. Just TRY and give the nomination to Romney. See what happens.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

....can you say "2nd term" for Barrack?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Romney will win the nomination because no conservatives came out to challenge him. For one, you can't count on the quitter Nadbaggers for a conservative, they don't even know what one is.

Best just stay home from the polls and whine in irrelevance, like y'all always do.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Here's a funny scenario though... what if Palin registers as a Democrat to put Obama through a primary hell?

Nah, she wouldn't do that. Would require balls.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Will Herman Cain make it into the Johto League?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Sorry, beamish, but go-along-to-get-along "conservatives" aren't on the people's "wish list" for 2012, even at a discount price. So if you insist that Romney be your nominee, you're just going to have to accept Barrack Obama as your president for another four years.

Why doesn't Romney run as a Democrat? Oh, because THAT would take balls. And "conservatives" are well known NOT to have any. That's why they suggest "women" do those sort of things... as castrati can't.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

I didn't make Romney the frontrunner. You and your fellow left-wingers did.

So, tell me. Is Herman Cain going to share with us the sage wisdom of Poppa Smurf next?

Speedy G said...

Poppa Smurf beats your favorite, Mitt Roney, every day of the week.
