UPDATE: On 1/26/10, someone at Ace of Spades linked to this post, and hatemail flowed in from Morons (their own term, not ours), trying to argue against the below. You people realize we wrote this to motivate you to get off your butts and work hard for Scott Brown, right? Sending hatemail for a post that’s two weeks old is ridiculous…especially when the post was a call for you to end your defeatism, grow a pair, and work hard. Scott Brown won. Eeyores lost this one. We hope you think back to all the posts on Ace and Redstate that were so pessimistic and see that all that negativity and “We’ll never win in Massachusetts” garbage took time away from actually going out and DOING SOMETHING to help Brown win. Since he won, you forget about all the Eeyorism you engaged in — but we didn’t. You’re going to do it again with the next tough election, and will miss an opportunity like Brown because instead of mobilizing, you come together and say “It’s impossible” before you even try.
You deserve to be called out on this. And we assert again that both Ace and Redstate need to better moderate your comments so that this crap is nipped before it turns the lot of you into Eeyores who give up before the game even kicks off.
**************
We don’t care who this offends, because it’s true: Republican men in the 20-35 year age range are little punk-ass bitches.
This is something we discovered working with the Young Republicans here in Chicago when we ran Democrats for McCain efforts here in 2008, and something we see so clearly whenever we go to Redstate or Ace of Spades to read the comments left on articles there. The articles, mainly, are great (except those written by Erik Erikson at Redstate, because he’s very much an Eeyore himself, though he doesn’t realize it), but the COMMENTS — Great Merciful Zeus, we’d love to slap silly so many of the guys writing on those sites. They have no idea what little khaki-pants, blue blazered, whine in their mothers’ basements babies they are.
We wish and wish others of you out there would start calling these guys out as the Eeyores they are and get them to shut up, with the endless negativity and defeatism. We know these all can’t be paid Democrat operatives concern-trolling and Eeyore breeding on those sites — at least 80% of these are guys needing therapy who come to those boards to vent all manner of pessimism, never doing a damn thing to help the cause, only to demoralize the people who are trying to fight the good fight.
Just a cursory glance at these two sites and you will see people — all men, we note — say again and again, “Well, if we can only keep it close”.
We are a bunch of gay Hillary Democrats in Chicago who will tell you we’ve never, ever in our lives said, “Well, if we can only keep it close”. We fight to win, people. Even when all odds were stacked against us, we FOUGHT TO WIN. We went coast to coast for Clinton and spent every cent we had in the bank in 2008. In all honestly, we ruined ourselves financially to stop Dr. Utopia from becoming president because we had to do everything we could to prevent the things Liberals are doing now from happening. We didn’t succeed in preventing this, but we sleep well at night knowing we did everything, honestly, imaginable to stop him. We never wasted a single second whining or bitching. We sure never said, “If we can only keep things close”. And when Clinton suspended her campaign, we did the unthinkable and signed up the next day to work for McCain, and then a few months later, went all-in for Sarah Palin and never looked back. We didn’t care how many people told us we’d ruin ourselves professionally doing this, or how we’d never work in politics in Chicago again because we backed Republicans against Liberals, or how we’d become pariahs in Boystown because we DARED challenged the blind identity voting of our community.
That might be because we are big boys, and not punk-ass little bitches.
What’s hilarious to us is how many of these 20-35 year old Republican guys are so wildly homophobic, always quick to make gay jokes and put people like us down. They’re pretty quick on the misogyny too, to be honest, though nowhere NEAR as fast as the Left. And yet, here we stand, a clear example of a bunch of fags (to us their own term for us), who wake up every day ready, willing, and able to kick ass while the best these guys can muster is posting over and over again on Redstate and Ace of Spades “If we can only come close”, “If we can only almost win, but be so half-assed about things that we come in second”.
Man-up, fellas.
Grow a pair.
If you have trouble in the testicular fortitude department, come down to Boystown and we will be glad to point you in the right direction.
Lord knows Aaron Schock loves his time here…you might too.
From our time with the Young Republicans here in Chicago, we can assure you this is totally a male phenomenon too. It is not Republican women who are like this. The women know how to FIGHT. Every canvassing trip we made during the 2008 race for Palin and McCain was 85% women, because the women actually got out and did the hard stuff, the phone-banking, the donating, the pounding the concrete to drum up votes. It was gay Hillary Dems like us, female PUMAs, female Republicans fighting to save their country from socialism, and one or two 20-35 guys in their khakis and blazers who only showed up to get on TV and further their careers by getting as much airtime as possible (never, ever wanting to do any heavy lifting).
The young men in the Republican party are glory hounds, prima donnas, and Eeyores: all they seem to want to do is enter a weird collectively group therapy on message boards talking about losing races that could be won if they only just got off their little butts and DID SOMETHING productive. Planning on attending the next Young Republican cocktail hour or VIP reception to get their pictures taken with Tim Pawlenty or Aaron Schock is not doing something productive. Logging onto Redstate to bitch and moan about “how impossible it is to win in Massachusetts” is not only not productive, but it’s asinine, considering these are the same punk-ass bitches who constantly go on and on about how Mitt Romney is the ideal 2012 candidate (because he’s so dreamy, maybe), when ROMNEY WON IN MASSACHUSETTS. It’s not impossible for a Republican to win in a state with more Independents than Democrats. No matter what Democrats try to tell you.
Sometimes, honestly, the lot of us here think about only dating Republican men in the future: because they seem to be so damn gullible and easy to manipulate. We, using Alinsky Methods in the dating realm, could probably make these guys our actual bitches. Psy-ops works so well on them, it’s not even funny. They believe whatever is told to them over and over again. Their defeatism and pants-wetting is Pavlovian. They hear, “It’s over!” clanged by someone in the news media, with a “Nothing to see here!” chaser, and they all just shut down immediately. We could totally p-own these little Marys. ”There’s no point arguing: just do the dishes. We always win and you always lose in this kitchen. Don’t even try to fight it”. ”You may have gotten close, but you are not going to win and watch Sports Center. We’re watching Project Runway again. Just deal with it. Now, run along and complain about it on Ace, then pout a while, and when your done go make us some crepes. You know where the Grand Marnier is”. ”Keep telling all your friends there’s no point in resisting because we always win, because for every one of you that we recruit, we get points we can apply toward Broadway tickets”.
We have just four days to win the Massachusetts Senate race for Scott Brown and save America from the Healthcare Rationing bill and one front of Dr. Utopia’s socialist push. Just as we did in 2008, this bunch of gay Hillary dudes in Chicago is doing everything we can — to our detriment, and at great personal expense — to fight the fight we believe in. We’re supposed to be the weaklings. We’re supposed to be the little pansies, the delicate flowers, the objects of ridicule. That’s sure how it seems when these guys get off onto their homophobic rants on all those sites. And, yet, what’s the real score when the rubber meets the road? Who’s throwing everything they’ve got to WIN, yet again — and who’s sitting on the ground under rain clouds whining and moping and saying “If we can only just come close!”.
When — not if — Scott Brown wins this race, here’s what’s going to happen:
(1) Republicans will be so damn excited they will all forget about the damage Eeyores did in this race
(2) No one will ever go back and hit HARD against all the Eeyores who claimed this was impossible, including Erik Erikson himself (someone we generally like, but someone who needs to realize that, because of his position and the influence he carries, he can NEVER say things like “if we only come close” when he needs to be inspiring people to “put their whole hearts into fighting for a win”)
(3) Republicans will not chastise their own for not working hard enough, for complaining so much, and for demoralizing others with their negativity and open therapy sessions (another word we’d use here in Boystown would be circle jerks, which is applicable), because when Republicans win, these little whiny babies are never taken to task
That’s so dangerous and deadly for Republicans, because in situations like the Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley race, if Coakley wins then all these punk-ass bitches, of the male 20-35 persuasion, come out of the woodwork to crow “See! I toldya he’d lose! It’s impossible to beat Democrats! We were right for sitting on our asses and whining and being negative all day because we lost!”.
For guys who love Sports Center so damn much, we seriously wonder how many of them actually watch the games for the GAMES, and not just the hotties in tight pants on the field.
To break out the sports analogies, these Republican Eeyores are guys who come to a game, never bother to fully suit up, and sit on the bench whining about how they are going to lose while the opponents take the field pumped up, fully prepped and revved up to go, using playbooks they’ve studied furiously to WIN THAT GAME. The khaki pants brigade doesn’t study strategy books, doesn’t believe in teamwork, doesn’t stay motivated, and never puts their whole heart into it.
If some miracle happens and these punk-ass bitches win, they squeal with delight, high-five each other, then race for the nearest cocktail party to celebrate, where they fall all over themselves to get on the local news as “pundits” talking ad nauseum about their “hard won victory”.
When they lose, practically by forfeiting most contests, they mope off to their cocktail party, where they angrily RAIL against everyone who tried to help them win, saying, “See, those damn HillBuzz guys kept telling us to get off our lazy asses and work hard for once, but it was all just a trick. Those PUMAs didn’t win this for us, even though they did everything they damn well could to get us to stop being little punk-ass bitches and man-up for once in our privileged and spoiled lives. I bought a new blazer and some new dockers for this media appearance, where I am mad at everyone who tried to tell me to work hard, because not winning this race shows me that when I don’t work hard and am constantly a little rain cloud, and I don’t win, it’s always someone else’s fault”.
Mary, please.
We believe Scott Brown will win on January 19th — if we can keep the Eeyores from demoralizing voters into just sitting home. That is the only way Martha Coakley wins, if the khaki pants brigade of punk-ass bitches Eeyores everyone into giving up. That is the only way she wins.
January 20th, we will all need to start fighting to get Scott Brown seated, because Democrats are already working to stall that until they can ram Healthcare Rationing through. If you think the fight to elect Brown was intense, it’s going to be all-out war to actually get him to Washington. As usual, we expect the khaki pants brigade of punk-ass bitch Eeyores to say throughout, “There’s no way we can win…Democrats will stop us…we should just give up and spend all day on Redstate complaining or over at Ace talking about how hopeless it is”.
We at HillBuzz, and we hope our readers, will, as usual, be fighting Liberals tooth and nail to stop their next round of lunacy to save this Republic.
For the love of all that’s good and holy, we just wish some of you conservatives and Republicans would take these little punks to task for being Eeyores and moderate them out of forums. We yank Eeyore comments off this site left and right. Why isn’t that done at Ace and Redstate? Why aren’t Eeyores banned wherever they raise their heads? Is it because there’d be no comments at all on anything Erik Erikson writes?
When Scott Brown wins, and after we get him sat in the Senate, we intend to mount a huge effort to get as many of you as possible to call these Eeyores out once and for all…and to change the way Republicans approach things. You can not enter into a race already defeated. You cannot come to a game without suiting up. Put on your damn jock. Get your f***ing uniform on. Read your g-damn playbook. Tie your bloody shoes. Bitch.
Get your heads in the game. Psych yourselves up to kick some liberal ass. Grow the f*** up.
And if it at all motivates you, just remember GAY HILLARY GUYS IN BOYSTOWN are working harder to elect good Republicans than you are.
Frankly, that should keep you up awake late into the night wondering where your life went wrong.
It really and truly should.
Because if one day we woke up and discovered the khaki pants punk-ass bitch brigade was fighting harder for spousal rights, watching Project Runway with more enthusiasm, or making snarkier quips than we were, you KNOW we’d sit down and rethink the way we were spending our time to WAKE UP and change our game.
We can’t let them be better at things we’re supposed to believe in or enjoy better than we are…just as WE should never fight harder and be more aggressive in races Republicans should be all-in to win for themselves.
Be all mad at us in comments if you want, and we’re sure we’ll get slammed for all of this as usual, but this stuff needs to be said…and the Eeyores in your ranks need to be spanked silly and then eliminated because they DO YOU GUYS NO GOOD.
**********
UPDATE: Just for fun, head over to Ace of Spades and checkout a thread they have on a poll for Brown, which has Brown up 4 points as of 1/15/09. See if you can spot the Concern Trolls, the Eeyores, and the Purists posting on this thread, and then look at how their comments change the mood and tone of others around them.
The Ace threads all have numbers assigned to the comments, so please refer to those when you ID the Trolls, Eeyores, and Purists, and note their names as well. Chances are, these same people turn up doing the same things in other threads too. The Eeyores don’t realize they are doing this, and are probably just negative d-bags by nature, but the Trolls and Purists are getting paid to be there, we honestly and truly believe that.
********
Here’s another thread on Scott Brown’s polling over at Redstate. The Eeyores start at comment #2. Seriously. Someone, almost immediately as this article was posted, starting that Eeyore crap. COMMENT NUMBER TWO.
Why do conservatives tolerate this?

January 15, 2010 at 2:02 am
Not mad at all. Tell it like it is, boys. We love you. Keep fighting hard and laying the smack down on these kids, who may indeed need a kick in the pants.

Great write-up! Reagan was an optimist who believed in the value of America and that it was worth fighting for. His “shining city on a hill” sits unfinished at least partially because many of the people who are supposed to be building the city are somewhere at the bottom of the hill whining about the climb. And not only are they not building, they’re discouraging others from climbing up and getting to work. Please do slap my fellow Republicans around.
January 15, 2010 at 2:19 am
I think you just told’em. Good job.
January 15, 2010 at 2:27 am
I haven’t spent much time on either of those sites. I peruse, but other sites suit my personality better.
I rock the over 55-male-set on Goomba News Network. Those guys are cool, and they have the experience in life to write deeply moving prose, yet create biting satire that makes me wish I had half of their talent. I even had dinner with Nickie Goomba himself back in July of last year, which he recounted by telling lie after hilarious lie, which you might enjoy…

Three cheers for the Hillbuzz boys.

Just when I think you can’t outdo yourselves, you all prove me wrong. Great Post! Sent it on to a few friends.
Have I told you that I.Love.You.Guys? Smart, funny, sarcastic (in a good way) . . . and if you tell me that you all are also good looking, I just don’t know. LOL

No complaining from me.
It’s no accident the toughest guys in the Republican party…..are gals. Bachmann, Palin, Blackburn, Cheney, etc.
Might have to do with that whole mama bear thing, too.
January 15, 2010 at 7:18 am
I’ve been thinking that for a while.
January 15, 2010 at 9:15 am
I never looked at it that way!
I’ve been a Republican since the early ’90s, started life as a Dem, then went Indie, now I’m staying Republican ’cause it pisses people off.
Those young guys don’t remember the 1994 takeover of Congress by the Republicans. In their political life, all they’ve seen is Republicans bending over backwards to appease the MSM. Those of you who backed HRC now understand the hit job that the MSM can do on a candidate. Well the Republicans were the “beneficiary” of that treatment ever since they took Congress, and then when “W” was elected it went into overdrive. These young guys are basically insecure, they want everyone including the MSM to love them.
The Republican women leaders have the courage of their convictions, same as Scott Brown. That guy is rock solid, it’s what the voters are responding to.
(And I’m not talking about his physique, I mean his core beliefs. I better quit now.)
January 15, 2010 at 2:45 am
There are a lot of party Republicans in general who don’t really “get it”. This is why I now consider myself an Independent.

Hillbuzz Babes, on behalf of all Conservatives, Libertarians and Republicans who are not douchebags, please accept my sincere apology and thanks for everything you’re doing for our country. I hope you understand how much your humor and passionate love of All Things Good and Holy and Hot and Awesome means to us out here in flyover country.
I get so sick of the anti-gay bigotry I hear from some Conservatives. And of course, the worst stuff comes from the “God Made All Of Us In His Image,” “Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself” so-called Christians. (Judgmental, much?) The anti-gay bias is just one of the reasons I’m a Libertarian and not a Conservative or Republican. My theory is that Libertarians are simply Republicans who’ve learned how to mind their own damn business.
That said, on a policy basis, Republicans and Conservatives are far less dangerous to me on a day-to-day basis than Democrats/Socialists/Radical Statists/Communists.
Anyway…I’ve spent hours over the past few days commenting my guts out on Scott Brown news stories in the Massachusetts papers. I’m very pleased that some of my comments are getting traction. So next, I’ll turn my attention to the Ace of Spades and Red State Eeyore-fests and see what I can do. (I’m on the Green Team as well.)
Thanks again for everything. I was really, really depressed about the direction of the country before finding your site a few weeks ago. I have SO MUCH MORE HOPE NOW, due 100% to your intelligence, passionate patriotism and hysterical snark. I want to be you when I grow up. (Which is slightly problematic, as I’m female and heterosexual. But you get what I mean.)
January 15, 2010 at 11:31 am
Couldn’t have said it better myself – ditto, boyz!
January 15, 2010 at 2:59 am
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this.
There are a couple of regular posters over at Michelle Malkin’s site, too. If I didn’t know they were regulars (and more conservative than me), I’d swear they were concern trolls.
And Dana — there are some men who can give the ladies a run for the “tough guy” title. Most of ‘em can a claim “Lieutenant Colonel” title, too. (Scott Brown is one, Chuck DeVore is another.)
(Finally: hillbuzz? Watch with “Mary” as an insult — I know what you’re trying to say, but it’s still using gender as an insult, and low-grade misogyny. It detracts from an otherwise excellent post.)
January 15, 2010 at 3:30 am
It’s homophobic for you not to know that “Mary” is parlance in the gay community. You have no right to take a word away from us, PC police.
“Mary” has been used since the 1950s in the gay community. It’s a word used as an exclamation point when emphasis needs to be made to something important. “Listen, Mary”…”Mary, please”, etc.
That’s how we talk.
You will not tell us how we can or cannot talk.
If you want to time travel to the 50s to tell the guys who used to talk in Polari — the code gay men invented so that they could have conversations in public without having their brains bashed in by straights who overheard them — not to use “Mary” as part of the language they created in the gay community to surive, hope right in your Delorean and do that.
Tell Marty McFly we said hi.
Other ways, watch yourself…Mary.
January 15, 2010 at 9:20 am
hahaha
When my boyfriend is annoying me and just about to cross the line, I usually give him a heads up by calling him Mary. “Are you sure you want to go there, Mary?” Like that.
I learned it from my friends teh gay back when I was an artiste and my straight buds were afraid I was turning into a hag.

January 15, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Oh, c’mon, guys — you’re smarter than that. (And better than that … wanna call me RAAACIST, too?)
Think!
When you were younger*, think about some of the insults that were thrown your way: the ones that compared you to women. They were double-pronged insults, both in that they compared you to women, and implied that women were lesser creatures.
When you use “Mary” as an insult, you’re perpetuating that exact behavior.
(And besides, “Mary” doesn’t exclusively belong to gays. People are given that name, y’know. How would they feel?)
*At least, I hope this only went on when you were younger.
January 15, 2010 at 2:23 pm
RAAACIST.
Spend some time in the gay community. Mary is part of our vocab.
We will never, ever be censored by any of you in the PC brigade. Sorry.
You are treading on very thin ice here Meic, and we suggest you drop this, because we won’t take it from you. Or anyone else.
January 15, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Didn’t “Mary” as an exclamation come to gay culture from Shakespeare? Like “No, marry, I fear thee!” in Romeo and Juliet? I read that someplace…if it didn’t, it’s a weird coincidence.

January 15, 2010 at 3:49 am
MEGADITTOS!! You guys are dead-on and hilarious. You may be mind readers, too. I love Ace (love the flaming skulls) but sometimes I’m amazed at some of the things they write. Earlier this week, he had a post about the attempts to oust Steele from the RNC. Basically, he was saying that if they want him gone, they should fire him instead of weaseling around and trying to get him to quit. He wrote something that stunned me– they hesitate to fire Steele because they want to avoid bad publicity (ya think), but they do more damage dragging it out. If they fired him it would only be a 2 day story that nobody would notice anyway. My first thought was “are you FRACKING KIDDING ME?” That’s going to be an above the fold NYT’s story and the talking heads will eat it up. Steele would be forever referred to as “the former head of the RNC relentlessly attacked and thrown out by RACIST Republicans.” How can they follow politics and not know that? It will be like that 2 day Bush served a plastic turkey story. That’s when they scare me and make me skeptical of all their analysis.
My second thought was pure Hillbuzz. I heard your voices in my head saying “why do Republicans always run crazy people like Rosalind Pulido and expect to win.” The Hillbuzz babes met Steele and thought he was fabulous. They met Pulido and thought she was nuts. So of course, the Republicans want to get rid of Steele and talk about Pulido’s chances next time.
As the nuns used to say- you don’t EVER leave the field while your team is still playing. Don’t punk out guys– get on board or get out of the way cause we’ve got an election to win.
January 15, 2010 at 4:25 am
Michael Steele is a good, good man. The people around him are good too. We know these people.
The PROBLEM is the state GOPs.
What people don’t realize is that RNC national has little power. The power is all in the states. The states are run by idiots. The idiots like their cocktail parties and their positions of power, and don’t much like doing work.
They don’t like Steele because he tells them they are lazy, spend too much time at cocktail parties, and love sitting on their butts too much.
Now, can anyone guess why we get along with and like Michael Steele so much?
January 15, 2010 at 6:18 am
Great essay boyz! You rock!!! I have often wondered why Republican men are so defeatist. You just gave me the answer. I love your wit as well as your honesty. You should keep teaching Conservatives how to get down and dirty politically speaking.
January 15, 2010 at 7:35 am
Oh, oh, ooooooooooooh. *Sigh*
I’ve decided HillBuzz is the School of Rock for politicos… and I sah-luuute you.
BuzzMen, you are singing my tune in a perfect Pavarotti tenor. The hand wringing, gloom & doom, Brooks Brothers above-it-all Pubbies make me ill. They should be kept in a vault, only allowed to write checks. They should be hidden from the public unless and until they can learn to descend from on high to help, not demoralize, on the ground. The idea that these idiots could persuade someone about politics, when most normal people can’t even stand to share an elevator with them, is laughable.
I cannot thank you enough for defending Michael Steele. He is The Man. I have said and written online: If we Pubbies allow a small faction of pasty white Far Side conservative nuts to take him out, I am GONE from the GOP. I really mean that. I would de-register and burn my Republican bra.
You know who agrees with you and who really lets Pubbies have it (in a brotherly but stern way)? Pat Caddell, Democrat. He is one of us – meaning, an *American* first, who happens to be a Democrat. Check out a very informative, two part conversation with Caddell/Horowitz/Wheeler — it’s from a gathering of conservatives last November, and Pat Caddell participated with gusto in the whole weekend.

Philadelphia is not friendly to Republicans. You know John Street became mayor by a voter fraud margin, and it was never contested. Some of the local talk radio types bring attention to the fraud issues, but what has ever been done to remedy?
January 15, 2010 at 12:33 pm
In 2000, I volunteered for Bush-Cheney in my suburban county outside of Philly. I was extremely disappointed at the so-called “operation” of the R’s. It was so pitiful, sparse, and apathetic, its like the local R’s could have cared less. No grass-roots, nothing. Their big “push” was sending a mailing. No motivation, no passion. The joke was that whomever the PA GOP chairman was, supposedly “promised” PA to Bush.

If local GOP is that pathetic, it should be REALLY EASY to take over. That’s the winning strategy, people!

Wow. I just realized I have, in fact, been one of the punk-ass bitches of which you speak. I’m not kidding–thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I have to man up and fix this shit! Okay, off to do that now. I am glad I came across your site. I’m coming out of the booth.
January 15, 2010 at 9:42 am
oooh goodie
Do you wear a business suit and those fabulous Scott Brown eyeglasses before you put on your Superman cape?
I hope that a fringe benefit of Brown winning will be that Republican men everywhere will have a role model and know how to look and act.
clark kent = scott brown = yummy

Thanks and do I agree??? We have a little tea party thing down here in NY and have accomplished some good stuff–local, but keeping the marxists out of office is good work. We are actively searching out good candidates for local office to take out the entrenched socialists who are on school boards, councils, everything. Out with RINOs for sure and IN with conservatives who will go back to limited govt.
January 15, 2010 at 12:07 pm
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN. Because the system is totally rigged in favor of the 2 entrenched parties, a third-party movement is doomed except as an educational tool. We, as Constitutionalists, capitalists and patriots, MUST infiltrate the GOP (and, why not, the Democrat party) and force change from within. You would be SHOCKED at how easy this is to do at the local level. Most local GOP organizations are desperate for people who will just SHOW UP.
Thank you for your hard work.

I had never bothered too much reading the comments in those boards, but you are so right. A big % of them are defeatist and whiny. This one is a good example , from Ace of Spades:
“45 I hope it’s true, but I’ve got a bad feeling about this. We are talking about MA.”
and this other one:
“How do you do that? In MN they won. In NY 23 they won. How is brown going to stop them really?”
Pathetic.
I had never focused on how negativism can really create a self fulfilling prophecy, but I think you Hillbuzz guys are right on target. We can be our worse enemy.
January 15, 2010 at 8:21 am
Oh, oh, ooooooooooooh. *Sigh*
I’ve decided HillBuzz is the School of Rock for politicos… and I sah-luuute you.
BuzzMen, you are singing my tune in a perfect Pavarotti tenor. The hand wringing, gloom & doom, Brooks Brothers above-it-all Pubbies make me ill. They should be kept in a vault, only allowed to write checks. They should be hidden from the public unless and until they can learn to descend from on high to help, not demoralize, troops on the ground. The idea that these idiots could persuade someone about politics, when most normal people can’t even stand to share an elevator with them, is laughable.
And I cannot thank you enough for defending Michael Steele. He is The Man. I have said and written online: If we Pubbies allow a small faction of pasty white Far Side conservative nuts to take him out, I am GONE from the GOP. I really mean that. I would de-register and burn my Republican bra.
You know who agrees with you and who really lets Pubbies have it (in a brotherly but stern way)? Pat Caddell, Democrat. He is one of us – meaning, an *American* first, who happens to be a Democrat. Check out a very informative, two part conversation with Caddell/Horowitz/Wheeler — it’s from a gathering of conservatives last November, and Pat Caddell participated with gusto in the whole weekend.

Those who may want a few extra pointers on slagging the collection of social misfits surrounding us could well study the rants of the good Reverend James Manning. His lecture on “that long-legged mack daddy Obawma” will tingle (or tinge) your leg. Same for his rants on the black welfare class.
A long while ago a Canadian educator at a boys’ school warned that the school system was attempting to turn rough-house boys into girlyboys. Now we see the results. After 16 or more years of indoctrination, the young men come out as effete conservative non-activists (Eeyores); or they come out as vicious, amoral liberal operatives (trolls). Neither type has learned to think to the next dot, nor has he learned to accept any responsibility for what happens along the line.
So now the genuine girls have the cojones, and the emasculates wonder how it all went wrong.
January 15, 2010 at 8:41 am
There are also a lot of concern trolls on TCOT at Twitter.
They are exactly as you say – blazer-wearing young men who are as condescending to those of us not living on the East Coast as Obama is to everyone.
Several of them are even African-American. They annoyed me so much that I banned them from my Twitter account.
They don’t like Sarah Palin, they love, love, love Romney (whom I have met and found to be nothing but a manikin.
These young guys often get staffer jobs in DC and think they know.it.all.

Nice post as usual. I’m laughing at some of the stereotypes I see among the regular crowd I see.
I’ve never understood homophobia among straight guys. Personally, I’m all for it. More gay guys means I have less competition for straight women, doesn’t it? :) I should support “gaydom” just for logical reasons alone.
I’m truly sorry for all the evangelicals who are so biblically (literally) homophobic. The truly far-out (I’ll never call them far-right) bunch that thinks the Earth is only 6000 years old because the Bible tells them so give everyone else on the right a bad name. Unfortunately, they’re part of the coalition, and we need their votes, so they can’t be completely written off, as much as I’d like it to happen.
Conservatives will almost always be at an enthusiasm disadvantage to liberals; it’s simply their nature. It takes extreme circumstances (like the last 14 months) to spur them into action.
January 15, 2010 at 10:39 am
BE CAREFUL THERE RANDOM!!!I AM ONE OF THOSE EVANGELICALS AND WE ARE ALL HERE TO WORK TOGETHER..BELIEVE ME THERE IS ENOUGH “”"”BLAME””’TO GO AROUND !!
January 15, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I’m glad you’re here, part of the working together concept, and I mean that. YOU clearly understand that there are times when the “Christian conservative” agenda is best served by letting its issues go to the back burner at times. Clearly, while Scott Brown may not be the best candidate from a Christian perspective, he’s miles and miles ahead of Martha Coakley.
My point was that there is a significant portion of the evangelical community that would NEVER participate on this site, simply because the principals are “evil.” Witness what some participants in CPAC have done because GOProud is a sponsor.
I was apologizing to the Hillboys for the intolerable treatment gays receive from such people. You are here; you are not part of the problem.
There are some people that need to realize that a bigger tent, allowing more people in and not pushing them away with hate and intolerance, will do far more to advance their overall agenda. Let’s fix the fundamental problems with the country together.
One thing is certain: the ultra-left elitist party that the Democrats are in their current iteration is not the answer.
January 15, 2010 at 12:17 pm
wow… that’s a pretty broad brush you use there, random.
i am one of those evangelicals you’d like to write off, and it would be a big mistake. fortunately, for the conservative movement, more tolerant heads than yours prevail.
and by the way, we bible thumpers are not all homophobic. you should check out a book called “the children are free: re-examining the biblical evidence on same sex relationships” (yes. biblical. it’s precisely *because* i’m what you’d probably label a knuckle dragging fundamentalist, not in spite of it, that i believe committed same-sex relationships are as blessed by God as committed heterosexual relationships.)
January 15, 2010 at 12:39 pm
indie: I responded to faye above, and I’ll do you the same courtesy, as you’ve replied intelligently.
Mea culpa. I was a little intolerant myself in my first post there, when it was intolerance of gays by SOME on the right that set me off in the first place. Quite hypocritical of me.
I want a big open tent, where everyone works against government tyranny together. I should have been more specific and not said “write off,” but instead have said “encourage tolerance.”
January 15, 2010 at 1:07 pm
thank you! i appreciate that.
we’re all in this together…
and i do agree with you about the intolerance of some evangelicals. however, being someone who once thought that the gays were all headed for hell, i *can* say that a LOT of that is based in ignorance, rather than intolerance… that book i mentioned was co-written by a friend of mine who grew up the son of christian missionaries. we met in college before he was out and i was able to sort of go along with him on his journey of discovery… which ended my ignorance. it was slow, but it happened. i’m not denying that true, hateful intolerance is out there. i’ve seen it. but i know from my own experience and the experience of friends of mine, that much of it simply ignorance that needs to be educated with light and knowledge…
“the children are free” is a very sound exegesis of the “clobber” passages that christians use against the gays… it examines those 7 passages historically, linguistically, etc. it’s not a matter of “let’s all just love each other and be tolerant.” it proved to me that those passages have been misinterpreted…
anyway… not that you wanted to hear all that… just wanted to let you know a bit of where i’m coming from.
thanks again for following up so gentlemanly!

Hillbuzz,
Thank you for stating the obvious about Redstate and the others. I am most dismayed by the anti-Palin post he just wrote.
Unfortnately, its at National Review too.
The Eeryorism that surrounds Palin in the R Party is maddening. “She’s too polarizing, she can’t speak, she has no way of winning etc. etc.” We are so lucky to have new blood on our side, not the same old pessimistic garabge. THANK YOU!
January 15, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Not only on those websites (and at times at the National Review) but also — which pains me more — at one of the best blogs, Powerline, at least in some of its contributors’ moods.
January 15, 2010 at 11:09 am
i have some news… it’s not just the young ones. it’s every age group. i have posted and reposted the eeyore/concern troll essay in response to every negative comment i’ve seen on my and my friends’ facebook pages… some of the guys have stopped posting on my page.
just as well. i was tired of their whining. not just about this election, but the fate of the country as a whole.
January 15, 2010 at 11:53 am
I agree with you about the Purists. I like how Jim DeMint ~a great Republican man~ showed in a classy way how you can stick to your principles, yet work with those that disagree with you one some things. http://senateconservatives.com/v1/index.php?p=post&id=68
I am a conservative, evangelical woman whose #1 issue is abortion and I sent money to Scott Brown. Which is better? A pro-abortion candidate ~Martha Coakley~ who believes that taxpayers should fund abortion or a candidate ~Scott Brown~ that believes that taxpayers shouldn’t fund abortion? Or that it’s a “State” issue? Look at the big picture.
January 15, 2010 at 12:21 pm
amen! i’ve been telling my friends that if they don’t get behind scott brown, send him money, make phone calls, get on the ground in mass if they can, simply because they don’t find him socially conservative enough, then they deserve everything they and their children and grandchildren get as a result of obamacare, cap and tax, etc.
i’m happy to say that not one evangelical friend of mine has refused to support him because he’s pro-choice and did a cosmo centerfold…
i think most sane people realize what’s at stake here.
January 15, 2010 at 3:16 pm
My dad is one of those purists and it’s about the only thing we disagree on. My husband also laughs and shakes his head when I recommend Hillbuzz to my friends. I don’t agree with all the choices that some of my friends make in their relationships or with their kids, but that doesn’t mean that I write them off or go off on them about it.
January 15, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Yes, I was very pleased to see that piece of pragmatic flexibility from DeMint’s group.
January 15, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Super, super essay, Hillboyz!!!
Man, I can’t count the number of times you’ve identified an issue and NAILED it, that many of us were thinking, sometimes without even REALIZING it!
This is a classic example!
Whiny, hand-wringing Marys, shut up and GET TO WORK!
I especially LOVE the paragraph that begins:
‘Sometimes, honestly, the lot of us here think about only dating Republican men in the future: because they seem to be so damn gullible and easy to manipulate….’
Perfect!
January 15, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Hey, thanks for the traffic. You have a valid point, although, as you could probably assume, I part company with your characterization of Erick. He is a consummate professional and and eternal Happy Warrior. A feistier Jack Kemp if you will.
Anyhow, thanks again for the traffic.
January 15, 2010 at 4:51 pm
We think Erik does a great job, and writes great pieces, but the guy is an Eeyore. That whole “we just want to keep it close” business of his is crap.
Don’t just keep it close.
Go for the win.
What’s wrong with you guys?
Would you ever play a game of baseball or football with the goal “to just keep it close”.
Why don’t you want to win?
January 15, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Like I said, I think you are mis-characterizing what Erick actually said. He knows that a win is very possible but also not a done deal. Furthermore, what he means when he talks about it being close, isn’t the same as “just” trying to keep it close. What he is saying is that even in the event that we do lose, which is becoming less of a likelihood each passing moment, the election will still be close enough that the Obama Administration can’t claim any sort of mandate.
Erick was providing analysis, he’s not every post has to be cheerleading rah rah, although I think we provide plenty of that.
I am not sure what got you so riled up in my comment that you would say silly things like “Why don’t you want to win?” I think the article of mine you have linked is pretty clear. As are the comments I made in the comment section. I actually chastise the eeyores and encourage the happy warriors. Feel free to come and join the effort.
It would be a far cry better than taking shots at me, or Erick, from afar. Especially when we agree on the broad point you were trying to make.

It’s notjus t the young men who were wrking for MC Cain it was the entire operation. A couple of months before the November 2008 election i callled an voluteered at Republican offices are was brushed off by all three. When the local Mc Cain headquaters opened it was entirly staffed and run by a group of snooty outsidres who oknew nothing of the area politically and economically. They blew offevery long term local Republican activist i know and couldn’t even keep the office adquately stocked with yard signs sufficient to meet the demand. And the thirty nothing males that occasionally skhowed up were alwanabee future political candidates that had no future whatsoever due to flawed personalities.

I listen to Beck & Limbaugh, and most of the calls are from women…they are very worried about our country and freedoms.
It was mostly women that called D.C., to stop amnesty for illegals a couple of yrs ago.
Hopefully these young men will finally get a set to start helping the women and Hillbuzz men, to get this country back from the socialists, progressives or whatever is the best word for them.

This has brought so much joy to all the lassies of tallahassee. Words can simply not express the copious amount of fabulousness that emanates from this piece.
Everyday within the party, it’s a battle not just against the 20-35 something boys. Now, we are now having to fight the tea party people and their grand idea for a 3rd party ridiculousness. Mary please. The republicans who became so complacent they watched their party deviate so far from their values we almost lost america, is now being more complacent by leaving the party and trying to build a new one. Rather badly I might add.
So between the apathetic and the idiots, the fight within the party is not for the heart and soul, it’s for ACTION.
Thank you for all your efforts in keeping those who are in the trenches doing all the work that isn’t fabulous. I am very new to this blog but I can tell you already it’s what gives me the extra lift to fight harder.
Today’s task: Telling off all the liberty republicans who think we could have had the really conservative candidate, Kennedy if we only just tried.

I am blown away by how many people have the Eeyor attitude.

I like what you guys are doing. However, I think you got it wrong with Ace…there were a lot of Eeyores, yes, but they weren’t regular posters, and they were regularly called out. The suspicion was that they were astroturfers, because (especially after the 2008 election) these ‘concern trolls’ and Eeyores disappeared. Ace posted on just this subject the other day.
