Uh oh, the right wing fanatic at Renew America isn’t at all happy with the present “leadership” of the GOP,

To state the blindly obvious, the Republican Party establishment — by which I mean the network of advisers, elected office-holders, Party organs, and higher-level Party officials who primarily determine the direction in which Party policy and Party money goes — is politically tone deaf. All across this country, you have Tea Parties and town halls bursting with the frustration of the common man who is seeing himself becoming the victim of a political class that has absolutely no concern about his wants and desires. Poll after poll after poll, on every issue imaginable, show that the American people are opposed to, well, pretty much everything that Obama and the Democrats in Congress are trying to do. There is clearly an opportunity being handed to the Republican Party on a golden platter to utterly destroy the Democrats on health care, cap-and-steal, the Porkulus spending, the deficits, the war in Afghanistan, and any number of other pressing issues. For the first time that I can remember, voters have told Rasmussen that they trust Republicans more than Democrats on all ten of the “trust issues” that Rasmussen tracks — including Democrat-friendly issues like health care, education, and social security. That’s without the Republicans even really doing anything — that’s a sign of how badly people don’t like the way the Democrats are handling this government.

So what has the GOP leadership done with this extremely favorable political landscape? They’ve let it grow weeds through their inaction, and have sprayed Roundup on what little green grass remains left. Many of the Republican elected officials in Congress seem to trip over themselves in their zeal to “reach across the aisle” to accommodate Democrats, thereby giving the Evil Party bipartisan cover with which to defuse voter anger when election day comes. Instead of distancing themselves from this Obamacare monstrosity and attacking it at every turn, they’re silent (at best) or quietly finding ways to add enough stuff that they want so as to justify voting for it — witness the evil twins from Maine, one of whom (Olympia Snowe) recently voted to move one of the more egregious versions out of committee so that it is one step closer to becoming a reality.

Establishment Republicans have also taken pains to loudly and arrogantly distance themselves from those leading figures — like Sarah Palin — who speak for the conservative base and aren’t ashamed of it. For example, we see Steve Schmidt and other former McCain staffers doing their level best to pin every ill of the poorly-ran McCain campaign on Palin, accusing her of being a “drag” on the ticket. That’s a tin ear, folks. If it weren’t for Palin, McCain would not have merely lost badly, he’d have been blown out roundly. She was the only thing that even came near to salvaging that catastrophe. No, the blame for McCain’s poor showing rests with McCain himself — with his reaching across the aisle, with his telling the voters not to be afraid of an Obama presidency (???), with his out-of-step position on illegal immigration and so forth.

Yet, this leadership caste in the Republican Party looks down its nose at conservatives, viewing us with disdain. We’re not “respectable.” We don’t fit into the good ol’ boy network of backslapping, backroom deals, compromise, PAC-funded vacations, $1000-a-plate fundraisers, and nice words from the media elite. Conservatives are “scary” because they hold to moral values which would go against the way the Republican elites live, and our views on fiscal issues would hinder the elite from successfully playing the “go-along-to-get-along” game of buying votes and favor out of the public largesse.
