Inbred, Inside the Beltway Country Club

You "little people" just don't understand. We are the new world order of a total mediocre ruling class. Let the government take care of those hoards of unwashed, just so it keeps them away form our ruling class. 
You see the cool, vapid attitude in these old-boy "Republicans" who liked being the loyal, no-opposition to the Democrats since the New Deal. They were comfortable, lazy and happy. Their speeches were "kinder and gentler." They were courted by the NY Times, Washington Post and NPR; written about, favorably, by David Brooks, that is until they run for office against a Democrat. They are the milk in Milquetoast. They helped get us in this fine mess. 

So, NO MORE BUSHES!! m/r

Oh Brother, Why Art Thou Even Running? | National Review Online

by QUIN HILLYER May 18, 2015 

So there’s this story going around, surely a piece of fiction from a typically clueless Hollywood writer or something, that there’s a Republican candidate for president who is open to raising taxes, who urged the confirmation of Loretta Lynch as attorney general, and who is not just a supporter of but a prime mover behind the Common Core education mess while blasting opponents for pushing “conspiracy theories.”

This figment of the imagination also has spent years pushing vastly expanded immigration and what can be described only as mass amnesty for illegals. Not only that, but he has repeatedly said or strongly implied that those who don’t agree with him are not merely misguided, but heartless or nativist (and, yes, “un-American”). 

This man has said that today’s Republican party is far to the right of Ronald Reagan; has said that Republicans are equally at fault with Democrats for the negative tone and ideological rigidity of national politics; has personally handed Hillary Clinton an award for “public service” while praising her extravagantly; has supported international negotiations to reduce carbon emissions; has defended President G. H. W. Bush’s 1990 budget deal; has said he hopes to govern like Lyndon Johnson; gives speeches in a style described as “reading off a TelePrompTer with the enthusiasm of an asparagus-eating toddler”; has listed as a top foreign-policy adviser a man notoriously antagonistic toward Israel; was almost invisible during most of the battles against the Obama administration; has not run in a campaign since 2002; and, finally, managed to lose an election in a rather conservative state in what was otherwise the most triumphant electoral season (1994) for Republicans in the past 35 years.
