Obama Administration: Hoffman Victory Over Scozzafava Means GOP Is Becoming More Extreme

Proof • November 2, 2009

And of course that’s what they want you to believe. They also want you to believe that the tea party movement and the town hall protests and Arlen Specter becoming a Democrat are all signs that the GOP is becoming more extreme. That’s also the narrative the media wants to promote, because being liberals themselves the idea of a vibrant, resurgent conservative movement is anathema.

White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the rise of a Conservative Party challenger in a closely watched upstate New York House election shows that the Republican Party leadership is “becoming more and more extreme, and more and more marginalized.”
“It’s rather telling when the Republican Party forces out a moderate Republican and it says, I think, a great deal about where the Republican Party leadership is right now,” Jarrett said when asked about the GOP candidates’ decision to suspend her campaign, making it more likely the Conservative will win Tuesday’s special election.

So if Hoffman ends up winning that election, or even just makes it a close race with the Democrat candidate does that mean the voters in New York’s 23rd district have become more extreme? If Pat Toomey ends up beating out Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, does that mean Pennsylvania voters are becoming more extreme?
Or what if Marco Rubio beats out Charlie Crist to run as a Republican for the open Senate seat in Florida? Is that yet another sign of an increasingly extremist GOP?
Here’s reality: Liberals have loved the GOP’s move toward the center/left in recent years. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” was very, very good to them not just because it opened the door to a lot of the government expansion they wanted with the tacit blessing of Republicans but also because it split the conservative base. It created the angst toward Republicans over the last two elections that resulted in GOP defeats, and that led to liberal victories.
So of course they don’t want the GOP becoming a conservative party again. Because conservatism, when articulated correctly and practiced faithfully by those who espouse it, wins elections.

You don’t have any problem claiming the left is more “socialist”………..get used to being recognized as the extreme wing of the conservative party….because, you are.

History tells us that the Democraps are the racist – past and present. Bull Conner, George Wallace are well known in History. Robert (KKK) Bird was a recruiter for the clan. Now we have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton leading the pack of liars and race baiters. The Dems keep promising to solve racial problems – it has been 50 years of singing the same song, but your sh*t is weak and does not work. Abraham Lincoln was a republican and a higher % of Republicans voted for Civil Rights than Democrats. The bill would not have Passed if it was up to Dems. Tell me once again how it is all Bush’s Fault – that’s about all you have.

This is no surprise; conservatives support the Constitution, and Obama wants to trash it. All the lefties on SAB consider our Constitution to be “extreme”. That’s how they think.

The inconvenient reality is that if any “real” con were elected president today, there would be no way he could implement the type of policies you cream about, without completely screwing up our economy, as Bush has done.

The social spending policies which Bush signed on to were the exact ones you liberals faulted him for when he did it, but praised the Democratic Party when they did it. Now back in some measure of dubious power, you’re doing it again. The DNC backs a set of economic policies which you excoriated Bush for, but praise the Democrats for.

Hypocrisy has no bounds in your world, does it?

Those damn extremist’s, like Palin, Thompson, and Pawlenty? Good grief Jarrett.

PS. I love how you are now trying to paint the republicans of recent years as “moderate” and geo dubya as a squishy con. That’s just so you can try and claim they weren’t “real” conservatives.

See, “real” conservatives would have created that zero-tax Utopia! We just need to give it a few more decades to work!

I am of the camp that sees a bloodbath coming for the dims in 2010.

The KKK was founded by and tied at the hip to the Democratic Party until the white supremacists who infest that party realized endless promises of help that never materialize, scraps off someone else’s table, and victimhood reinforcement would do just as well as hoods and sheets.

Come to think of it, that is precisely why the gay movement is what it is today. You’d rather be gay than be yourself. You’d rather have confrontation than acceptance. You’d rather suffer and scream about it than behave in social equilibrium. You sell your fellows out for your childish need for attention.

So how is it being a traitor to every homosexual out there?

Which is why the alleged stimulus bill and the health care system destruction bill are timed to go off AFTER the bulk of the 2012 campaigns have people largely cemented.

The Dems know full well as we all do that the American people aren’t going to sit on their asses waiting for salvation. They’d starve to death on the streets. They will adapt and overcome, albeit at a great inefficiency as more of their effort than ever before is being used to circumvent the onerous burdens placed upon them by the Democrats, and when that anemic recovery comes about, the Dems will claim victory as they are already starting to do.

That the CBO told it exactly as it was from the start, that they were prolonging the national economic suffering, doesn’t matter at all to them because other people don’t matter to them, only their own desires.

That is called sociopathy among other things.

It is the same with the health system. They know the health insurance industry will modify and adapt to try to head off any further intrusion by the Dems, and when that situation stabilizes with the hidden costs comfortably far to the edge of the national radar and some years separated from deconstruction and analysis, the Dems will claim victory.

Later, AFTER all that, their grab for power kicks in.

Of course by that time, the Republicans will likely kick back into power again and be able to use those same ties into private industry and the public’s wallets to do whatever they want to do.

The Dems who distrust government under Republicans want to make sweet love to the institution when they are in charge and they are utterly heedless of history’s demonstration that there is no such thing as a permanent regime in this nation. The public will inevitably toss any powers which infringe on the people to the opponents of those that engineered those infringements.

Right about now, this is occurring to some Republicans regarding the Bush era anti-terrorism infringements on privacy of communications. What might the sociopaths of the Democratic Party do with such powers?

I’m sorry reality isn’t convenient for your politics.

Nor yours. That’s why, now that conservatism has failed miserably, you and those like you are trying to pretend that “real” conservatism hasn’t failed.

The KKK was hardly a limited government movement.

Our public schools have clearly failed you.
sayanything-4416

The KKK was hardly a limited government movement.

No, it IS a group who fear that the white, male majority conservatives are losing their power and influence to one of “them.”

Much like the teabaggers. Call it a “limited government movement” all you want. The timing of its emergence is what matters.

I’m sorry if reality doesn’t fit your politics.

Bush ran as a “compassionate conservative” and indeed he passed a lot of decidedly Non-conservative policies. The perscription drug entitlement comes to mind.

I’m sorry reality isn’t convenient for your politics.

There’s nothing vibrant or even new about sore losers throwing tantrums that they lost. That’s why we have the KKK AND the conservative teabagger movement.
