Is the Republican establishment losing it?

Is the party leadership capable of uniting a governing coalition as Richard Nixon did before Watergate and Ronald Reagan resurrected in the 1980s?

Observing the hysteria and nastiness of Karl Rove and the GOP establishment at the stunning triumph of Tea Party Princess Christine O’Donnell, the answer is no.

This party is not ready to rule.

Consider. In its grand strategy to recapture a Senate that George W. Bush and Rove lost in 2006, the GOP Senate leadership endorsed all its own caucus members for re-election, if they chose to run, then picked out all its favorite candidates for the open and Democratic seats.

Conservatives and tea party activists, however, had other ideas. They began to pick their own candidates. And, again and again, the Senate’s chosen were rejected in favor of tea party challengers who had the endorsement of Sarah Palin or South Carolina’s Jim DeMint.

Arlen Specter was rejected by the Pennsylvania GOP and left the party. Rand Paul routed Sen. Mitch McConnell’s man in Kentucky. Charlie Crist was challenged by Marco Rubio in Florida. Crist, too, departed. Sen. Bob Bennett was denied renomination in Utah. Sen. Lisa Murkowski lost her primary in Alaska to a little-known fellow named Joe Miller.

But Delaware was the stunner. Rep. Mike Castle, a former two-term governor who had been winning elections for 40 years, was a certain victor in November.

Challenger O’Donnell, however, ended all that.

Yet, though her conservative credentials are far superior to those of Castle, O’Donnell was made the object of a wilding attack by National Review and The Weekly Standard, Charles Krauthammer, who lashed out at Palin and DeMint for “irresponsbility,â€

To the Republican establishment, tea party people are field hands. Their labors are to be recognized and rewarded, but they are to stay off the porch and not presume to sit at the master’s table.

They still don't get it! They thought since John Q Public is mad, they were a shoo in... WRONG! We aren't buying the "same old, same old", we don't give a hoot in hell WHICH party you belong to; if you have sold us down the river in the past, you're gone!

The more you mock us, the madder we get. And who do you think we are going to take it out on? YOU... you're fired! BOTH parties are running scared, and they should be! America is finally going to vote their collective conscience; we know right from wrong and since you don't seem to,we WILL replace you with people who do!

Is there any chance JD could take the same route Murkowski is taking? Stay on the ballot as a write in candidate? I still can't believe Az faltered and gave McLame the nomination!

IMO the only chance the GOP has is to be the party of conservatives because in truth the majority of people in America live their lives as conservatives.

Second: have the women of America noticed that candidates attacked the most are conservative women, wake up ladies fight back no matter if Dem's or Republicans.

I have never been so confused in my entire long life. I have voted Republican for years.

We have Karl Rove, a RINO, being portrayed now as one of the bad guys, which he is. But then we have Sarah Palin, being portrayed as one of the good guys, and yet she CAMPAIGNED for, or supported, some of the biggest RINO social and fiscal liberals in the entire Republican party.

Sarah Palin came to California and campaigned against our only real Republican conservative, Chuck DeVore. She went to Arizonia and campaigned for John McAmnesty AGAINST JD. She supported Lindsey Graham, and on and on she goes like a mixed up whirlwind with the power and the image of....almost a Goddess.

Sarah Palin is for a path to citizenship, otherwise known as a form of amnesty. So I just don't get how people across the internet are so thrilled that Palin might run for the presidency.

Are the people really willing to forget about the 20 or 30 million illegal aliens that Sarah hopes to legalize? And do not forget she said she thinks it would be humane to allow those who receive the new citizenship to be allowed to send for their families from all of the different countries who were left behind.

IMO....The Republican party is in a total schizophrenic meltdown. I just can't be a Republican anymore. I don't know what in the heck I am going to be.

Most of the working class are in the same boat, this is a feud between Washington elite vs America not between parties, the RINO's such as McCain, Snowe, Graham, and many other Republicans are simply moderate progressives and basically walk hand in hand with the Obama administration.

IMO, its the lessor of two evils stick with the GOP and work to remove the RINO"S, and vote in term limits at present it's our only path the change.
