Question: What will you do if the Cocktail Party establishment succeeds in making Mitt Romney the nominee?
Dear HillBuzz,
Romney is definitely not my first choice. I like Cane. But what are you going to do if he does get nominated? Any of the Republican candidates is much better than Obama, including even Ron Paul with his isolationist/McGovern-like foreign policy. I’d like to remind you of Reagan’s “11th commandment”: never speak ill of a fellow Republican. Right now all these attacks on Romney make it much easier for Obama to win, should Romney get the nomination. Ultimately we all want Obama to lose in 2012. So, he is the one we need to attack. People were saying that McCain or Hillary were Obama-light. But any “Obama-light” would be infinitely better than “Obama-full version”.

Dear Eric,
Thank you for writing in. I’ve never seen you post here before to the best of my knowledge, so I don’t know you or your motivations with this message. I did run your IP and email addresses through the search options we have on the site, and you’ve never left a comment before. That’s odd, since typically first-time commenters don’t write this much, or have such a specific focus in their questioning. Hmmmm.
I am going to assume for the sake of argument that you are not a Cocktail Party establishment operative or someone connected to the Romney campaign in any way and I will answer your questions as best I can as you have asked them. I invite readers to use the comment thread to respond directly to you as well so you can see what they think too.
You wrote: Romney is definitely not my first choice.
Mittens Romneycare is not my choice at all, so we agree on this. Off to a great start!
You wrote: I like Cane.
As do I, but it’s Halloween, not Christmas. Candy canes won’t be in the stores for at least another week or so. If you’re talking about presidential candidate Herman Cain, his name is spelled with an “i”, not an “e”.
You wrote: But what are you going to do if he does get nominated?
Who gets nominated? Are you talking about Mittens Romneycare or Herman Cain? I’m assuming you mean Mittens, and I’ll proceed under that assumption going forward. I do want to point out that you write in classic troll parlance, whether you intend to or not. See what you did here? You said something in the first line to establish a connection with me, since you know I don’t support Mittens. In the second line, you strengthen that connection by telling me you like “Cane” (sic)…which is intended, I presume, to make us buds, since we have so much in common. Then you ask about what I’d do if Mittens is nominated. Now, I don’t know you, or your intentions, but I’ll tell you how I naturally interpret this: as trolling for Romney, for whatever reason. “Well, just like you I don’t like Romney, I like Cain just like you do, but I’m someone who is getting myself ready for the inevitable nomination of Romney and I think you should too”. Is that what you are saying, Eric?
You said: Any of the Republican candidates is much better than Obama, including even Ron Paul with his isolationist/McGovern-like foreign policy.
This gets into interesting territory. I’m honestly very conflicted on whether or not I think going along with the Cocktail Party’s coronation of Romney is better than a second term for Obama. Have you noticed how aggressively the agenda-driven media and the Left are pushing Mittens Romneycare to be the GOP nominee? Don’t you think it’s strange that the Cocktail Party GOP establishment, the Left, the Obama White House, and the agenda-driven media all want Mittens Romneycare to be the 2012 Republican nominee? Isn’t that odd…and more than a little deja vu of the 2008 push by these very same groups to make John McCain the “it’s his turn, he’s inevitable” nominee?
I personally believe Mittens Romneycare is being pushed so hard towards the nomination because the Left knows Obama is a one-term president. Accepting his inevitable loss, the Left is trying its best to secure a Republican president to follow him who will be wholly ineffectual and won’t be willing to do any of the things that need to be done to get this country back on track. The Left knows how much Mittens flip-flops and how meek and indecisive he is, so I believe they are counting on that to assure things like public sector union reform, the elimination of illegal immigration, tax reform, and a balanced budget don’t happen in the next administration. This way, the country stays in financial ruin under someone like Romney, which opens the door for Democrats to retake power in 2016. I assume the 46th President (the one who would kick Mittens’ sorry can in the 2016 election) won’t enact any substantive reforms either and certainly wouldn’t scale back the scope and size of government; this means America would have to wait until 2021, and the 47th President, for a shot at making the tough decisions that could rescue our economy.
Is that really better than Obama winning a second term and a conservative Republican we can trust winning the nomination and presidency in 2016 and saving us from ruin four years sooner?
I don’t trust Mittens Romneycare to be the tough, effective, and unapologetically conservative president we need in office right now…and I don’t buy into the “anyone is better than Obama” lie the Cocktail Party establishment, the Left, and the agenda-driven media are working hard to sell people like you, Eric.
As for Dr. Paul, and your comments about him, I find it strange that someone who misspelled Herman Cain’s last name (perhaps deliberately) would then go on to include a McGovern reference and know that McGovern was associated with an isolationist school of thought. That’s just strange to me. I feel like the remark about Dr. Paul was copy and pasted off something, or taken from a list of key words assigned to denigrate Dr. Paul. Perhaps you slipped this in here because my friend Kathleen Gee is a Paul supporter and I encourage her to express her thoughts on Dr. Paul freely.
You might be only a casual reader who doesn’t know that I’m not a Paul supporter and spend very little time thinking about Dr. Paul. So it’s just odd that a pejorative reference to him was tacked on randomly to a sentence like this.
Curiouser and curiouser.
You said: I’d like to remind you of Reagan’s “11th commandment”: never speak ill of a fellow Republican.
I’d like to tell you how stupid you are if you really think like this.
This is the Republican primary season, when someone will be chosen to succeed Barack Obama in the White House. Now is the time to really grill the candidates before us to determine who can be trusted to make the tough decisions ahead that will save our country from ruin. I do not believe Mittens Romneycare is the man to do this. I have zero faith in his ability to lead this country. I will never support him. I do not like him, I do not trust him, I do not want him to be the Republican nominee. I have thought long and hard on this and I can honestly say that even when pressed I could not think of anything good to say about Mittens Romneycare. He has taken both sides of every issue and proved himself to be untrustworthy and undeserving of my faith, hope, or respect. If the Cocktail Party GOP establishment, the Left, and the agenda-driven media succeed in installing Mittens as the Republican nominee, I will devote myself to reminding Americans of Obama’s record and everything terrible the Left has done to this country during Obama’s term. I will focus my energy on getting as many people as possible to NOT vote for Barack Obama again. But I am just not creative enough of a writer to publish a non-satire, April Fool’s styled essay advocating Mittens Romneycare because this man is truly the very embodiment of everything I think is dead wrong with the Republican Party.
If he’s on the ballot, I won’t vote for Mittens Romneycare; I will vote third party. If Obama wins, it will be the fault of the Cocktail Party GOP establishment for forcing another John McCain onto conservative voters because the establishment assumed we had no choice but to vote for Romney.
That’s why I keep repeating that a vote for Mittens Romneycare in the primaries is really a vote for Barack Obama in the general election, since if Romneycare is the nominee I believe Obama will be re-elected and the Republican Party as we know it will be effectively destroyed because I for one intend to join the ranks of fed-up conservatives who are not going to sit back and let the Cocktail Party establishment force another terrible, untrustworthy, “it’s his turn” candidate upon us again.
You said: Right now all these attacks on Romney make it much easier for Obama to win, should Romney get the nomination.
With all due respect, this is pure stupidity on your part. Now I really believe you are on the Romney payroll.
What would you have people do? Sit back and pretend there’s no problem at all with Romney?
Don’t you realize the Left and its media enablers intend to do to Mittens exactly what they did to McCain in 2008? They pen love letters to him during the primaries, but as soon as he’d become the nominee they’ll hit him with well-prepared hatemail. Mittens, like McCain before him, seems foolish enough to believe “They love me, they really love me, and they’d never, ever turn on me”.
What you really want is for everyone to be quiet about Mittens Romneycare’s immense flaws and, I believe, ineligibility for office (based on the fact I just can’t trust this man to do a good job as president) so that the Left can just say all of the exact same things in the general election, which would hand Obama re-election.
This is what perplexes me most about Republicans: they just keep repeating this same mistake, and never seem to learn from it. I really have to say that if conservatives fall for this garbage again, after having this happen so clearly just three years ago, then we’ll all have to come to the sad realization that these voters are just stupid and beyond any help or hope.
You said: Ultimately we all want Obama to lose in 2012.
True. But with the caveat that I want him to lose to someone who will be better than him in office. That person is not Mittens Romneycare. I also want to point out that this is classic troll-speak, when you use phrasings like “ultimately we all want…”. Psychologically, a troll would do this to establish more of that “Hey, I’m just like you! We’re in this together!” comradery because you think that will make me more apt to listen to you and do what you tell me to do.
What you don’t realize is that I’ve run this site for three and half years now, so I’ve read letters like this from hundreds of paid operatives who’ve written in with similar remarks. In all this time, I’ve never once seen such repetition and similarities in comments or emails from real people without agendas. But the troll comments always sound so similar to one another. With all the same phrasings, the same formula used to get to their points, the same deliberate misspellings of easy-to-spell words that trolls believe make them seem more like regular people (who, trolls think, can’t spell or don’t proofread).
Curiouser and curiouser.
You said: So, he is the one we need to attack.
I have plenty of time to attack both Barack Obama and Mittens Romneycare and intend to keep doing just that, thank you very much, because I don’t want either of these men to be president.
You said: People were saying that McCain or Hillary were Obama-light. But any “Obama-light” would be infinitely better than “Obama-full version”.
Oh, Mary, now you done did it. You realize I worked for Hillary Clinton, right? I pretty much gave up my entire life to do everything I humanly could to prevent Barack Obama from scoring the Democrat nomination…and then threw whatever I had left into trying to stop him from becoming president in 2008 because I knew full well what he would do in office.
The reason the Left destroyed Hillary Clinton’s campaign is because the Left knew Hillary would not blindly allow the Left to do whatever it wanted if she was in the Oval Office. The Left wanted a puppet who just wanted the presidency for the perks — a narcissistic fool who’d gladly do whatever his handlers told him, so long as he got to play golf, fly around on a fancy plane, and sleep in Buckingham Palace on visits to London (where I wouldn’t be surprised if he deliberately wet the sheets, just because he could and because he wanted to stick it to the British this way).
John McCain is certainly Democrat-Lite and I might even call him Hillary-Lite, but you are someone who has really not paid much attention to Barack Obama if you consider either of these people Obama-Lite. Hillary and McCain love this country. Both have their faults in their own ways. I love the former on a personal level and always will…and I tolerated the latter as best I could for as long as I could in 2008 because he would have made a better president than Obama.
But I just don’t have the ability to go through that again with Mittens Romneycare.
Conservatives deserve a better candidate than him. America deserves a better president than Mittens would make.
If Mittens is the ultimate nominee, I promise I won’t do anything to hurt him in the general election, but I won’t help him and I probably won’t vote for him either. I will devote all my energy to making sure people understand just how much damage Obama would do to this country in a second term and then I’d look for a candidate on the ballot who I could trust with the presidency. If that candidate is someone from a third or fourth party I’d never heard of before, but was a candidate who I’d trust not to do the Left’s bidding and wasn’t part of the Cocktail Party GOP establishment, then she or he would have my vote.
And the next day I would start a new search for a conservative candidate I trusted and believed in who I would spend the next few years trying to convince to run for office in 2016.
You said: “Obama-light” would be infinitely better than “Obama-full version”.
I think you are dead wrong on this.
The stakes are too high to settle for an “Obama-Lite” in Mittens Romneycare.
It is beyond foolish to believe a “Democrat-Lite” is the best Republicans can do in 2012.
I just won’t be a part of this stupidity.
And I will not fall in line to blindly do whatever the Cocktail Party GOP establishment tells me to do because unlike you I am not on their payroll.
I WISH I was paid to do this, because I’d sure love to no longer run this site for free or spend everything I have to keep it alive, but apparently I keep missing the email from the recruiters that hire trolls like you. Send them my way if you can, though. I could really use a steady paycheck.
Thanks for writing in!

What do you think of the letter from “Eric” above?
Troll or not?
If he’s a troll, who sent him — the Left, the Cocktail Party establishment, or the Romneycare campaign?
I’d love your thoughts on all this.

Michael Crichton on environmentalism as a religion
I’m beginning to appreciate what a colossal loss the world suffered with the death of author Michael Crichton.
Someone sent me his book State of Fear, which I just started reading.
It seems Crichton was prophetic and ahead of the pack in terms of recognizing the Anthropogenic Global Warming cult for what it is, and for connecting it to the wider “religion of environmentalism” that permeates the Left.
I want to learn more about Crichton’s thoughts and writings on the subject.
Do you have a take on this you can share?
ACORN has been identified as the driving force behind “Occupy Wall Street”
This will come as a surprise to almost none of you, I’m sure, but ACORN has now been officially identified as the driving force behind the “Occupy Wall Street” miscreants.
This is all about the 2012 presidential election, and the only chance Obama has of being re-elected. It is a three-point plan being orchestrated from the White House involving the typical rogues’ gallery of Leftist goon squads.
(1) To use ACORN, the Unions, and other thugs to gin up the “Occupy Wall Street” protests in all major cities where I believe bad behavior is encouraged. Reason? I believe this is an effort to muddy the waters and discredit the Tea Party in the minds of Independents and Undecideds. The Left wants to pump out as many visuals of people protesting as possible — accompanied by bad behavior — so that when people see Tea Party protests they will transfer the bad feelings they’ve developed from one group to the unrelated other. The Left relies exclusively on emotion and fear, not reason and logic, to maintain power. Discrediting the Tea Party has been Objective Number One for the Left since 2009. The Occupoopers are a means to this end.
(2) To use the agenda-driven media to select Mittens Romneycare as the GOP 2012 presidential nominee because Romney is the man Barack Obama most wants to run against. With Mittens as the Republican nominee, the campaign will not be about how terrible Obamacare is and instead it will be about Mittens defending his image as a Wall Street businessman who is straight out of central casting as the embodiment of what the Occupoopers are wailing about in the ACORN protests. The Left wants the Occupoopers to be so entrenched and revved up that once the agenda-driven media succeeds in forcing Mittens Romneycare as the GOP nominee, the Left can then sick the Occupoopers on Mittens directly.
(3) End game is to create a climate in 2012, facilitated by the media, that completely ignores Barack Obama’s record in office and instead focuses on what a typical, caricature of out-of-touch patrician greed Mittens Romneycare comes across as to many Americans…particularly when the Occupoopers get done with him. The Tea Party will feel betrayed and alienated by a Cocktail Party GOP establishment that hand-selects a McCain 2.0 to lose to Obama again in the general election. I believe Jon Huntsman is being positioned by the Left for this scenario, where he will emerge as an “Independent”, Ross Perot-styled vainglorious billionaire who will steal just enough votes from the Republican nominee (if it ends up being Mittens) to give Obama a squeaker win. Huntsman will be rewarded with the Secretary of State position in Obama’s second term.
I think it’s pretty easy to see what’s happening before our eyes.
As expected, the Cocktail Party GOP establishment is falling right into the Left’s trap by continuing to push Mittens Romneycare.
I honestly believe this could be the ultimate end of the Republican Party if the Cocktail Party indeed succeeds in making Mittens the nominee and, as expected, he does go on to lose to Obama. A third party will then form from the millions of people angered by the Cocktail Party establishment forcing McCain 2.0 onto us and handing Obama a second term — during which he will not be restrained by the hope of a re-election and will be free to run wildly to the far Left to regulate this country into complete financial ruin.
A vote for Romney in the primaries is a vote to seal America’s doom.
Think about it…and ask yourselves why the Cocktail Party GOP establishment keeps picking the candidate the media, the Left, and the DNC (redundant, I know) want Republicans to run.
Operation Gratitude gearing up for big Thanksgiving weekend thank you to our troops
Operation Gratitude is a phenomenal organization in Van Nuys, California that sends care packages to our troops overseas, making sure they knew how thankful Americans are for their service and commitment to protect us and our country.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, “Op Grat” will pack up thousands of boxes to send to our men and women in the military.
Something Op Grat really needs is your excess Halloween candy.
With Halloween coming up next week, it would be great if you’d keep your eyes open for any big sales on candy. In the past, I’ve seen candy marked down to 75% at some stores on Halloween day or the days immediately after. Just imagine how much good could be done for our men and women in uniform if nationwide there was an orchestrated harvest of candy corn and other Halloween treats to benefit our troops overseas.
There is a special Op Grat Halloween Candy Facebook page setup with more information that you can find here.
Op Grat is also working with dentists in a “Halloween Candy Buyback Program”, where Trick or Treaters can collect candy, turn it over to dentists, and the dentists will send it to Op Grat so it can be distributed to our troops for enjoyment overseas.
Chocolate must be separated from other types of candy, since the chocolate melts and must be handled differently from Twizzlers, Skittles, gum, or other things.
I know there are a lot of great moms and grandmas out there who are expert bargain shoppers, so on your trips out and about over the next few weeks, if you could keep a lookout for great deals on candy, you could make a lot of service members very happy by loading up your cart and sending your finds out to California so it can all be shipped off to military bases next month.
If you can’t find any good candy deals, you can still help our troops by writing kind letters of thanks to them, from your heart, that will be included in the care packages as well so our military members know how much their hard work and sacrifices are appreciated by you and your family. Op Grat does read the letters first, as a safety catch to make sure radicals on the Left don’t slip anything inappropriate, demoralizing, or hateful into a care package (it’s horrible to think they would do this, but they apparently try, which is consistent with the way the Left conducts itself in most everything it does).

Trevor Loudon exposes Bill Ayers’ plot to use Occupy Chicago to takeover Chicago Public Schools
[ Click to embiggen: Screengrab of William Fremd High School in Chicago displaying Che Guevara and Karl Marx as "history heroes" for students to admire in Jason Spoor's social studies classroom ]
Here’s another Must Read for the day: Trevor Loudon at BigGovernment.com has exposed Bill Ayers’ plot to use Occupy Chicago to takeover the Chicago Public Schools.
As a freelancer, I’ve conducted about a dozen focus groups for various projects in the Chicago Public Schools, so I’ve seen firsthand how occupied these places were BEFORE the whole Occupy Wall Street spectacle began. There are pictures of Che Guevara hanging in places of honor, sharing wall space with photos of Malcolm X, Yassir Arafat, and Karl Marx.
Megan Fox and I have reported on Jason Spoor, the social studies teacher at William Fremd High School here in Chicago, who displays Che Guevara and Karl Marx so proudly they seem like school mascots.
It’s stunning what the Left is indoctrinating into public school children already — and terrifying to think about how much worse things would be if William Ayers got his hands on the entire education system the way he wants.
That’s why I feel it’s so important for the next President to eliminate the US Department of Education. The education system should be left to each state to create and control on its own, to inhibit any nationwide takeover of the system by radicals like Ayers, Spoor, and everyone else with a degree in education who is currently indoctrinating YOUR CHILDREN with the dangerous nonsense and other delusions they picked up like viruses from the washed out 60s radicals who taught these people as professors when they were in school themselves.
There is no good reason for Washington to be directing the Boards of Education in the states, but the activities of the likes of Ayers present myriad arguments for devolving all education-related powers back to the states.
Another scary thought: Obama’s already installed Arne Duncan — a Chicago acolyte of Ayers — as the current Secretary of Education. If he should win a second term, what’s to prevent Obama from naming William Ayers himself to the Cabinet position? The Cocktail Party GOP establishment has proven again and again that it generally goes along with whatever the Left wants, so I doubt there would be any resistance shown towards the nomination. Just imagine the anti-American chaos Ayers would sew beginning in 2013 if Obama is re-elected and he no longer has anything at all constraining his zeal for transforming this country into the third world communist “paradise” the Left has dreamed of for years.
