Warning: Conservative pundits like Bill Kristol will destroy the Republican Party

November 19th, 2012 | 12 Comments

How any conservative can say with a straight face that raising taxes on anyone no matter rich or poor is a good thing is beyond me; however this is exactly what some conservative pundits are suggesting. The below video is our video of the week. It should act as a reminder of what is wrong with the Republican Party. Check it out.

Just because the Democrats have done a good job with their class warfare rhetoric and have managed to convince a large number of uninformed Americans that those who have achieved success and wealth in America are evil doesn’t make them right. Instead of the Republicans caving in again and shifting their party platform a little farther to the left, maybe they should stand by their principles of lower taxes for all and craft a narrative that not only supports this position but is attractive to the people. Herman Cain was on to something with his 999 plan. It resonated with a large number of people. That was until the left attacked his character and forced him out of the race.

This is what Republicans need to be selling. A simplistic plan that everyone understands and that people will get behind. Not a 51 point plan or another Contract with America. They need to sell an idea that is popular and appealing and nothing is more popular than money and making the IRS go away. That’s what a flat tax will do. If we had a 10 percent flat tax across the board with no loop holes and zero deductions no matter how much you earned there would no longer be a need for the IRS. People would buy into this because they will love the simplicity of it and they will embrace the idea of the IRS going away. Now how hard was that? But for some unknown reason the Republicans in congress can’t wrap their brains around this idea. Instead they waste countless hours trying to figure out ways to reinvent themselves. It’s absolutely maddening. If the Republican Party listens to pundits like Bill Kristol, they will lead them to their demise. It might not be in two years or four years, but mark my words the party will fracture apart because they will continue to lose elections. And no one wants to bet on a loser.

Liberty forever, freedom for all.

This really is maddening John. It is hard enough trying to win this battle with the conservative pundits on our side, but to see them throw in the towel so easily and compromise our ideals after a tough loss is disheartening and it makes you wonder if they really believe what they are supposed to be fighting for.

  This is an example of another “establishment” type driving the party over the cliff. Establish types are all for expanding the tent by watering down conservatism and that’s exactly what Bill Kristol is doing here. When any so called conservative says he or she thinks targeted tax increases are a needed or necessary that should send up the red flag for real conservatives.

Kristol is another who doesn’t know or remember what TEA (taxed enough already!) means.

“Just because the Democrats have done a good job with their class warfare rhetoric and have managed to convince a large number of uninformed Americans that those who have achieved success and wealth in America are evil doesn’t make them right”

But it does make them powerful.

The Republicans are adrift, have been for years, and this is what happens to a rotten, corrupt organization that doesn’t know what it stands for.

The people voted for Obama’s progressivism, and now they’re going to get it good and hard.

  It does indeed make them powerful my friend. Ignorance is the strength of the left. I’m with you when you say the Republicans are adrift. They have been corrupted and infiltrated by progressives. Part of me says the hell with all of them.

Add Karl Rove and the other fat man, whose name I am blocking, Prebius to those who help seal our fate.

  Karl Rove is definitely part of the problem. Every time Hannity refers to him as the architect I throw up in my mouth. Conservatives need to stop listening to people like Rove and Kristol. They are nothing more than establishment types who don’t have a clue.

Bill Kristol is part of the problem. Anyone who caves so easily to the liberal agenda is part of the problem. Sooner or later, we are going to have to draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough.
