Demint got on the Rubio bandwagon before a lot of other people and helped him raise serious cash. Its to be expected Rubio would aid his ally. I can see how the strategist would be unemployed. Talk about picking nits.

These misfits need to be exposed and purged from the party.

Everytime something like this comes to light, it makes me open my wallet a little more for Rubio, DeMint and the SCF.

That must mean I’m a Republican Strategist. I wish I wasn’t a Republican Strategist, but then I live in Florida.

“Marco Rubio is heading to the presidential primary state of South Carolina in what is looking more and more like a PR mistake. Rubio is surging in the polls in his Senate primary with Gov. Charlie Crist, but now that he’s looking more and more like the favorite in that race, the honeymoon is over. The press will look for chinks in the armor, and a multi-stop tour with Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) can make it sound an awful lot like Rubio is looking beyond 2010 and toward 2012. Look for the media to run with that narrative.”

I can agree that talk of a POTUS bid is ridiculous at this point for Rubio but the news that Demint is creating a DemintRubio.com website does nothing to quell the chatter.

have and I guess that applies here. The strange thing in this case is that the enemy is supposed to be the friend.

I’d be more concerned if they were ignoring us.

We’ve got them on the run!

Hey Glenn Beck!!!!! This is how the Republican party will be fixed! Not by some mystical “come to Jesus” moment, but by battle over ideology at the primary levels and at the local levels. We’ll fix this party from the ground up.

Join us!

I didn’t realize Andrew Sullivan had dropped the word “conservative” off his business card.

The Balrog… not so much.

Ignorant as can be.

DeMint? He’s one of my favorite senators – no way Marco should be hanging out with him….

(hope I didn’t break anyone’s sarcasm meters, those things can get expensive these days)

And while you’re at it, call out this Alexander Burns guy who wrote the article.

Hardly impartial, not mentioning a shred of advantage of the DeMint-Rubio team-up.

This is a war of wits.

Name names.

I guess this is a clear indication that Romney is not going to be a candidate for president in 2012. He’s just lost the conservative faction of the GOP.

Like the commenters on this story suggest?: http://www.redstate.com/matthewhurtt/2010/02/22/post-beck-cpac-rush-defends-gop/

Hmmm. Interesting indeed.

He was pretty adamant in attacking Glenn Beck yesterday for allegedly not acknowledging that the GOP had already admitted that they had strayed. But once again, the GOP proves that they can morph their message to appear to be one thing without fixing the main problem: the country club progressive elitism that permeates those who won’t surrender leadership of the party (Gangs of McCain).

Let me introduce you to this new-fangled internet thingy. It lets us whackos in the small universe of people who read Redstate and other blogs read about things that are subversive to anonymous strategists’ plans for our futures. It also lets us email these things to our friends, coworkers, families, heck anyone we want– all this new-fangled stuff is really cool that way. We also get to see and hear about a lot of the same stuff on the radio and the news network that carries all the news. We talk about all this stuff with people we know and we send emails back and forth and stuff.

There are also a bunch of people called the Tea Party that are really active with this stuff; a lot of us don’t participate in the TP stuff but we follow it closely and sympathize with the TPers, they help form our opinions, too.

You see the results of the stuff we learn and discuss in the polling numbers for Republicans, Democrats, Congress, Obama, Obamacare, Cap and Trade, etc, in ACORN’s funding problems and need to reorganize, in the failures of Scozzafava and Crist, in Rubio’s ascent and the enormous funds raised overnight by Brown.

I think you got the picture. Ugly pols and ideas get punished, good ones do well. When these things enter public consciousness, they often do so suddenly and virally. But they also develop over time, linger in our minds; repetitive good stuff from good pols isn’t forgotten, it creates favorable impressions and we remember that when we vote and make donations and stuff.

Thank God for all this new fangled teknoledgy stuff. We don’t have anymore information gatekeepers, you don’t control the message. It means we don’t have to listen to the MSM or anonymous strategists and we get to mock them. Often and publicly.

Have a nice day!

Tampaby.com says Crist has lost two staffers and points to negative polling as the reason why..

“Political director Pablo Diaz, one of the first two staff members hired for the Senate campaign, is departing at the end of the month for “a new opportunity.” Sean Doughtie, a well-regarded new media consultant who had worked with Crist for years, stopped working for the campaign at the end of January.”

Wow. What more does the “republican strategist” want? Rubio”s got Crist on the ropes.

(could it be the strategist is a former crist staffer and he’s trying to stir up trouble.? Who knows. Wait Erick knows. C’mon, erick name names)

the only way they win is divide and republicans.one of reids men are in with the tea parties in nevada.there must be more .we have to support the republicans to beat the obama plan of taking over our great country.the media supports all his lies.so we must get the facts somewhere other than the media.thank god for fox news.

In my now very rare perusal of the left wingers that visit Politico I realized that Politico’s so called reporters were doing nothing more than trying to outdo the WaPo in the personal destruction of Conservatives with the Alinsky tactics of the radical left.

In the 2008 election Politico couldn’t say enough good things about Obama and bad things about McCain, so what’s new here…nothing, same old same old!

I don’t know who made the remarks in Politico, but it just shows how out of touch the National party is with Grassroots Republicans. We conservatives are coming and DeMint and Rubio will be in the forefront of those changes!
