Wait a minute.
Wait just one cotton picking minute.
Didn't this woman just spend the past six months denying the existence of a Republican establishment and mocking anyone who suggested otherwise?
Didn't she essentially label you and me and Levin and Rush and all the rest of us, as paranoid, among other unflattering portrayals, for simply suggesting the mere existence of a Republican establishment, much less attaching Mitt Romney to their favor?
Now as she cynically attempts to spin this Grassroots Vs. the Elites division to Mitt Romney's advantage, all of the sudden there "IS" a Republican establishment, and guess what, Mitt Romney is championing their demise!
This is what idiots she takes us for.
The actual Republican Establishment –- political consultants, The Wall Street Journal, corporate America, former Bush advisers and television pundits -- are exhorting Mitt Romney to flip-flop on his very non-Establishment position on illegal immigration.
Both as governor of Massachusetts and as a presidential candidate, Romney has supported a fence on the border, E-Verify to ensure that employees are legal and allowing state police to arrest illegal aliens. He is the rare Republican who recognizes that in-state tuition, driver's licenses and amnesty are magnets for more illegal immigration.
These positions are totally at odds with Establishment Republicans who pander to...
2. She was dead right about your paranoia, as you people discuss your elusive "Establishment" as one would discuss the Illuminati.
3. Santorum and Paul oppose Voter ID laws and truly securing the border (that fence will hold us it!), but they enjoyed groundswell support from the true heavyweights of the party, such as Rush and Palin, etc.
Mitt dared to stand strong on the very issue that is eliminating the GOP off the political map, and people like you call him "liberal."
'Nuff said.
Suddenly, Rubio became "Establishment."
Suddenly, Ryan became "Establishment."
Suddenly, Nikki Haley became "Establishment."
And you honestly expect us to take seriously your wounded, conspiracy-laden definition of "Establishment?"
Puh-leeze! Tell me you're kidding!
