People like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John McCain, and the like - all those who will attack a man like Ted Cruz - they are all Infiltrators at CPAC.
They are not Conservatives. They are Impostors. They are Spies. They are Traitors. They are Enemies.

They are the political class. They are self-serving, self-perpetuating members of a would-be caste of their own creation.
Over the past five years this caste has closed ranks against the people they govern and have to moved to rule not serve.
There is a de-facto unity government in place, a coalition of Democrats and established Republicans and they are making deals with each other behind the scene. For example the Democrats promised not to run Booker against Christie and in return the Republicans refused to support Cuccinelli. Give one, gain one. There are deals like this going on all over the 2014 electoral landscape which is why Republican rank and file will be shocked when they fail at the polls this fall.
There is only one word I know to describe these people: Politburo.
Politburo is the perfect word.

I haven't heard that before. But I wouldn't doubt it.
We have shit weasels everywhere in our political system.
The same is happening here is SC. The democrats won't run a dog against Lindsay Graham because they know he's one of them. And they will crossover vote in the open primary to make sure Lindsay avoids a runoff.
They are running their best candidate against Nikki Haley in the governors race because she is not one of them.
It used to be that most of the shit weasels were in Washington.
Now they permeate the state level, too.
WE THE PEOPLE are screwed.
Stats on Virginia's governor race: RNC spent 9 million on McDonnell in 2009 and cut off Cuccinelli at 3 million. They claimed the race was unwinnable despite the widespread discomfort with the Obama care rollout. Cucc had no money for radio ads in the DC for the last two weeks of the campaign while the Dems ran relentless attack (war on woman) ads against him.
The final vote tally was actually very close: 30,000 votes with 140,000 going to the libertarian! Simply put the RNC didn't want Cucc any more than the dems did and they gave the contest away. And they did it on purpose.
Until this last election, Cuccinelli had never lost an election. At least, that is my best recollection about his political career.
And, yes, the libertarian stole the election from Cuccinelli (a good man, with whom I've met face to face.
Now we're stuck with McAuliffe here in Virginia. Sheesh.
Meanwhile, the Dems are pushing in the Virginia Assembly to put Virginia more on the hook for Medicaid payments and expansion. This legislative session is about to expire, and the Assembly is deadlocked. I hope that the McAuliffe's opponents hold out!
OMG you are in VA? All this time listening to TGS I didn't know that. Thought you were in Cali. I must not listen very well.
I lived in Portsmouth VA from 1967-1970, probably wouldn't recognize the place today.
Sad to see such a great state (Virginia is for Lovers) grow a cancerous, life-threatening tumor on its northern border.
It's just so hard to bear the thought...a great military town, crabbing under the bridges, Smithfield hams, chicken and gizzards on Friday night. All going down the Dc toilet.
Ugh! We HAVE to win this.
Anonymous,
I live in Northern Virginia and have lived here all my life -- as did my father before me. Both of his parents hailed from the Shenandoah Valley; those families had been rooted there since God-only-knows-when.
Dad was born in 1911. I'm glad that he's not alive today to see the devolution of the Old Dominion.
My dad is a retired Coast Guard officer. He was stationed at the USGC headquarters in 1975-76 after I had left home. The family lived in Springfield VA. The DC area was a mess even then, I can't imagine what it must be like now.
We do have some excellent aspects here: the museums, the paratransit system, the concert halls, the National Cathedral, the public library system, etc.
However, the people are not anything like they used to be. For example, until 2005 or so, we used to know the names of everyone who lives on the short street. We used to have dinners and cookouts together, we used to feed each other's pets when a neighbor went out of town or had a family emergency. We used to have yard sales together. We used to "borrow" a neighbor's dryer if ours broke down -- or they used to "borrow" mine. No more! So, we don't really have neighbors except in the geographic sense of the word.
All these people around each other, but we are strangers.
The Springfield area became a mess before the spot where I live. Now the whole damn greater D.C. area is mostly as I described above.
Hey, have you ever heard the saying below?
"First they invented Fairfax County, then they invented the federal government." Some truth in that, IMO.
LOL.
