5 Messages for ‘Elite’ Republicans

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. looks on at left, as House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio gestures during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009.

Conservatives are sick and tired of being taken for granted, misrepresented, and talked down to by the same “elite” Republicans in Washington who hopelessly screwed everything up during the Bush years.

Everybody knows exactly whom we’re talking about here. The same snobby, elitist, stuffed shirt, squishy, poll-obsessed Country Club Republicans who went to D.C., forgot who put them there, wasted the incredible opportunity they had to change this country for the better, and are now pointing the finger at everyone except themselves for their mistakes.

Here are five messages for those people: We’re not going back to the Bush years: Conservatives are sick and tired of hearing Republicans talk about conservatism to get our support and then watching them immediately move to the center once they get elected.

Stop making promises to us that you don’t intend to keep. Don’t tell us how fiscally conservative you are and then vote for the TARP Program. Don’t talk about limited government and then support big government programs. Don’t tell us you care about the rule of law and then support amnesty.

We expect you to govern the way you campaign when you need our support. If you don’t do it, we’re going to make sure you catch hell for it.
