"No compromise. No being co-opted" - Granite Grok

“No compromise. No being co-opted”

Democrats and Republicans – “two vultures fighting over a carcass“:

Schweizer emphasized that the way to defeat the permanent political class–in particular, the Republican establishment–is to espouse the same “no compromise” approach Reagan espoused toward the Soviet Union.

Looking back on 2013, the Tea Party and conservatives garnered victories on a host of issues–such as gun control and amnesty–because they did not go along with the Republican establishment, whose agenda is often more in line with President Barack Obama’s than the conservatives they purportedly represent. Even a Harvard professor conceded that such relentlessness will most likely enable the Tea Party to prevail in the end over a weakened GOP establishment.

Ultimately, Schweizer said, despite establishment groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove’s American Crossroads can spend hundreds of millions of dollars waging war against conservatives, “what elects people is votes not dollars.” He said that the Republican establishment can spend “as much money as they want, but those candidates will have to appeal to Americans for votes.”

In large swaths of the country, the Republican establishment’s message and policy objectives “do not resonate,” Schweizer said.

“Do not resonate” – really means InConsistency.  Just imagine when the Establishment learns that lesson, loves that lesson – and then begins to ACT on that lesson.
