Why the Concord Monitor would ask Fergus “The Fringe” Cullen questions; he’s a nitwit that should not have been allowed to be within 100 meters (really, meters, Fergus?) of a reporter with a notebook or a recorder? After all, this is the NH GOP Chair that suffered the WORST losses in the NH House and Senate EVAH! And the Party’s finances at the time? And to date, has not been re-elected to the NH GOP Committee since being replaced as chair, by Republican voters, by Papa Smurf. This dope is supposed to be considered “a political Smart Person”?
This was, what I thought, a decent piece on Corey Lewandowski who is now Trump’s campaign manager and I first met when he was the NH Exec Dir for Americans for Prosperity. In it, we see that while he lives in ignominy, Cullen still tried to throw manure Corey. Right, a verifiable loser throwing it at someone who has been verifiably winning:
…“This is not harmless fun,” said Fergus Cullen, a former state Republican Party chairman. “This is inflicting real harm on the Republican Party and its brand. I contend that working for Trump is not like getting a job at Liberty Mutual or Market Basket or working for a political party, and if you take a paycheck from Trump, you’re also saying you agree with him and he speaks for you, and I feel that way about Corey Lewandowski.”
Ah yes, once again, we see the “club” mentality within the Good Old Boys wing of the Republican Party – if you refuse to go along to get along, then get out. Principles? Fighting to push forward ideas that are solid Republican ones? Pushing the Republican agenda forward?
Not Fergus!
“Harm on the Republican Party and its brand“? Once again, Cullen couldn’t recognize Captain Obvious passing by him in a hallway. This is the hallmark of a distant Republican that only looks outward – and refusing to see the rot that’s on the inside. Big Tent, he says – but he certainly has been trying to position him self as a doorkeeper, right? If only he could do that job right, huh? Ponder this, Fergus:
The TEA Party movement would never have taken hold if the Rs had been doing their jobs correctly
- Trump wouldn’t be doing so right now if the Rs had been dong their jobs correctly
- But to folks like The Fringe, their crap smells oh so very sweet. And let me address his other snarky
And to that other yelp of faux pain:
…“Corey is single-handedly responsible for Josh Youssef’s nomination in 2012,” Cullen said. “Josh Youssef should not have been within 100 meters of a public office. The AFP guys and Corey either didn’t know (about Youssef’s transgressions), or didn’t care, or willfully overlooked them.”
Um, Fergus, do you think, just a tiddle, that VOTERS actually were “single-handedly responsible” in the Primary for having cast their ballots for Josh? Just a tad? After all, a campaign is just a campaign – and it showed that the voters in my District weren’t having much to do with the Establishment pick, doesn’t it? And given the strange occurrence of Ed Mosca’s turning in license over some things that happened with a female client, and the timing of some of that issue (and that’s all I’m saying), I’m just wondering if your side was trying to play that up as well. Dirty tricks, Fergus, go both ways. Just like we saw the Establishment this last cycle paining conservative / TEA Party candidates as utterly unfit (re: US Senate Mitch McConnell’s “We will crush them” gaffe).
Yeah, folks like Fergus keep talking about enlarging the Big Tent, but it is only one way – towards the Democrats and while they keep moving the Left side to the tent passed the center point, they keep yanking up the stakes of said tent on its Right side and moving that leftward at the same time. And then he wonders why that conservative base is throwing rocks at said base? After all, after quite a bit of abuse, they are finally getting the message: you are not welcome in our tent.
Even with Trump – the Establishment (aka George Will and others) complains that Trump isn’t Republican enough – I guess they haven’t been reading the ‘Grok enough as we opine, over and over again, about RINOs – you know, those that are oft more appreciative of Democrat values (like on abortion, like gay marriage, like expanding government, like raising taxes – and a whole raft more) than supporting “our” own. Yet, here comes somebody who may well be just like those RINOs they protect from us daily. And they complain?
Sho’nuff – because he can’t be controlled. And us too – we refuse to kowtow either and refuse to play “their” politics”. We are not “one of them” – and either is Trump. And THAT is what they fear the most – and that’s why pipsqueaks like Cullen are piping up.
And being the kind of guy Cullen is, I’d be willing to bet that if Trump were to offer Cullen a similar salary, he’d snatch it in a moment. And we’d be hearing a different tune.
But we all know that wouldn’t happen, don’t we? That’s the thing with Smart People like Cullen – while they wail and cry and throw ashes into the air that “this person is the right one” or “that one is not suitable” or “this rabble of a base sucks”, results matter. And Trump would never pay for the kind of results that Cullen delivered.
Loser.
