New Republican Leadership

Let me make this perfectly clear. The U4Prez GOP is NOT the Hard Right, and the Hard Right is NOT the U4Prez GOP. The Hard Right is a subset of the most pugnacious, mean-spirited, thuggish elements within the U4Prez world. There are about six within the center of this cabal, along with maybe a dozen others who circulate around the center. Twelve electrons assisting their buddies in the nucleus. A neat little ionized carbon-12 atom. How quaint.

They are an element, a radioactive substance within the GOP. They are not the GOP itself.

And I think it's time we start to separate the toxic waste from the rest of the party, for the party's sake. It's time to stop thinking the Hard Right runs the Republican Party, let alone the whole of U4Prez.

For as much as the Heir-to-the-Presidency Kempite and his monkeyboy Mduminiak seem to dominate the party and do nothing for it except use it as a vehicle for their own expression, believe it or not, there are other Republicans out there. Strange, there are Republicans who are NOT part of the Hard Right, who are NOT among the satellites revolving around the Gruesome Twosome, and whose lips are NOT chapped from kissing their well-fed asses for months on end.

Yes, I said it. Iron Lady is an asskisser. Roguejew, asskisser. Hawk, asskisser. BigDaddy, BIGTIME asskisser. The entire Liberty Caucus is little more than a ten-member glory hole the Big Two use constantly to pleasure themselves, and since the ascendency of Mduminiak to party leader, they've tried to use the entire Republican Party the same way.

Is it any wonder why you had big-name Republicans shouting furiously when Mduminiak set up his version of Kempite's Liberty Caucus and called it the Steering Committee? Was it any wonder they suffered defections? Cramming 700 Republicans into one box is a risky proposition to begin with, but to have them all serve at the behest of Mduminiak, without question, I can't see there being anything BUT rebellion.

So now these two want to play clean. They waged war against Olivia, got spanked over and over, and now want to convince you all they had nothing to do with it. They would have you believe they are above the petty bullying Olivia allegedly plays, yet do nothing to reel in their own bloodhounds. On one hand, they tell you Olivia is a nobody and her blog has no merit, and yet they somehow manage to post on this blog and make videos about it. They call me obsessed, yet MDuminiak is now up to FOURTEEN videos on me, including a 67-minute diatribe on who they call a crackwhore. It's a good thing these goons are two-faced, it's tough trying to convince the public of two opposing ideas at once. Saying two different things out of the same mouth is tough.

George Orwell called that doublethink.

If you're tired of these hooligans and their satellites running the show, if you're tired of them saying one thing and then doing the opposite, if you're tired of having watched them for months berate other candidates and continue to wage war on a candidate who resigned THREE WEEKS AGO, yet come back and tell you they're squeaky clean, I must remind you, candidates at U4Prez, you have the ultimate power. It's a foregone conclusion that Kempite will be coronated in November, but you can make him a very unpopular appointee. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you talk to these thugs. No one is putting a knife to your children's throats and saying, vote for Hawk or the kid dies.

Well, maybe they are, I wouldn't put it past the Hard Right to slit a child's throat.

Believe it or not, despite their domination of the GOP, there are some very qualified candidates within the Republican Party. They are not part of the toxic waste the Hard Right offers. They are opinionated, learned candidates, who do not need to browbeat perceived opposition to get a point across. They don't get themselves involved in this grand game of GOTCHA the minions at the Hard Right play. They don't protect their buddies, come hell or high water. They are not blindly loyal. They seek broadbased support for who they are, not for what posse they roll with. They are serious, intelligent, charming individuals who deserve your attention. It is they who should be able to rise to the top of the Republican ranking, who should be up for run-off positions, and who should be the talk of the GOP. Instead of crying about what Olivia says, they remain focused. Instead of playing partisan bullshit games and engaging in liberal-bashing, they know the real merit is in perfecting their own platforms and selling them in the marketplace of ideas that U4Prez used to be.

It can be that again, folks. Kick the Hard Right to the curb. It's as simple as that.

That's all well and good, Olivia, but just who are you referring to when you talk about these alternative Republicans? Copulate and HAK? They're in your corner, of course you're going to prop them up. Anyone else?

Well, let's just think out loud.

Hedrick? He sold his soul to BigDaddy a while back, he's definitely a Hard Right satellite.

Friday? He's part of that Steering Committee, and while he does represent himself in a professional and eloquent manner, he was very defensive when the GOP was under attack when Mduminiak put the Politburo--I mean, Steering Committee--together, so I have to believe his stance is more geared for party loyalty than individual liberty, protecting the cat who gave him his elite position instead of promoting conservative ethics.

Goffdale? I really like Goffdale--and mind you, I like a lot of Republicans personally, but this article is not about who makes me giggle, it's about who in the GOP is part of the Hard Right, and who is a bona fide alternative to the Republican thugs--but he is also a member of the Steering Committee and was also defending Mduminiak, deflecting criticism instead of engaging in honest debate. Although he might be the most amiable among the SC appointees, he's still protecting his buddy instead of telling it like it is.

Smashey? I REALLY like Smashey. But he's been suckered into this little war. Probably the classiest and most diplomatic rightwinger in the Liberty Caucus, he has been in the awkward position of having to defend Kempite's practices, Hawk's crude grunts, and the LC's aura of elitism and their flawed mission statement. I feel bad for him, along with the liberal members of the LC, being just a rubberstamp, having to defend the LC and their Hard Right elements.

Mikep1990? When everything happened concerning MejicoJohn on the Fifth of July, MikeP came up to me and told me he really respected what I had done, standing up for him. He didn't engage in bickering with me while I was trying to assist John, he wasn't trying to kick my shins out from under me like Musicman and IronLady and BigDaddy were. He appreciated the effort.

Musicman? I tried for the longest time to befriend him, but in the end, I have to call it like I see it. Music is a Hard Right satellite. I don't mind conservatives talking about conservatism, that's great. He was the first to take himself off the Antipartisan Pledge, allegedly because he has a problem with my tactics. While he has a problem with my tactics, he has no problem whatsoever with his Hard Right buddies doing the very same thing. Musicman believed fighting fire with fire was wrong, and few candidates frustrated me more than him over this. I still swear it, I still swear on that Pledge, and any angry words I said were never out of partisan gameplaying. Musicman merely repeated the Hard Right talking point that because I was aggressively pointing out the partisan crap in one of his buddies' statements, I must be partisan as well. His inability to think for himself, his willingness to blindly follow whatever the Hard Right says, proves to me he is one of those satellite candidates I was talking about, not really interested in much except to protect his Hard Right buddies against the onslaught of mean ol' Olivia. For the longest time I called him a pussy because he loved to poke at me, and when I made my position clear, he'd call that badgering and run to his buddies for help.

Ghost? Musicman's shadow, and pretty much everything I said about Music can go for him.

Nickgold? A very affable fellow, I just think he's too cozy with his buddies on the Hard Right. As such, he enjoys the perks of such an association, like membership on the Steering Committee. He's not nearly as blunt as Hawk or RogueJew in terms of stating his dislike for liberals, he's a little more sly about it. He's not a Hard Right goon, as I don't see him go after anyone with real aggression, just an occasional smarmy comment about the left, and that's it.

RightWay79? This is one of those candidates who will chat with you all day, really let you develop your argument, and even feed you questions to keep you going. I adore the chats I had with him, and maybe it's because we look at a situation differently that I appreciated his disagreement. I've never seen him defend the Hard Right, never seen him jump on a grenade to defend the goons. He deserves a modicum of respect and honor, and though he is a member of the Steering Committee, he deserves being noticed.

Jimmycart? For a while, I honestly thought Jimmy was Kempite himself. I appreciate conservatism, but here was a kid who seemed to follow Kempite around, backing him up, even when attacking Olivia. While Kempite would make an insulting crack, Jimmy would play innocent and say PROSTITUTES ARE BAD, YOU'RE AN EVIL LADY. Since then, Jimmy has emerged in his own right, creating his own videos, projecting his own personna. I don't see him having the same enthusiasm Tony4Prez or CHASE have, but he is certainly intelligent enough. He's young, and I hope he takes U4Prez as a place to hone his debating skills, not merely to bash liberals. Being a satellite of the Hard Right, though, I doubt Hawk and Mduminiak are the kind of role models someone seeking something other than partisan bullshit needs.

There's ten Republicans, some I spoke well of, some negative, but all with a degree of honesty. And while I try not to finger someone as guilty by association, there is something to be said about the company a candidate keeps. I adore RightWay79, and he deserves to be in a position where he can make a difference at U4Prez, and I truly don't want to always point out his position on the Steering Committee as evidence of being part of the Hard Right, but he does keep himself in close proximity to those Hard Right elements. I encourage you to look upon these Republicans, using your own discretion.

As for who I believe would be the best President out of the U4Prez GOP, I have two in mind.

Efferiss and TyroneCarr.

Efferiss has been here awhile and has built himself a reputation for class and thoughtfulness. He loves a spirited debate, but does not engage in direct fisticuffs with others. I've heard him once or twice make an offhand remark about lefties in general, but that's about it. Even at that, it was on his talk show, not on U4Prez itself. Two items, though, that are of interest concerning Efferiss. One, he has been able to keep himself unentangled in the various alliances and groups and unmentioned alliances and groups at U4Prez. Such a feat for someone who has been around as long as he has is remarkable, and as a result, he is unsullied. He'll talk about friends, but he doesn't go out of his way to defend them, and he won't make himself look foolish when said friend says something out of line. He knows the difference between friendship and blind loyalty. And two, he is willing to learn and evolve. Unlike virtually every other candidate, he realizes there are ways he can still grow and develop, and he is willing to listen to solid arguments and even incorporate them in his platform if they sound feasible. Everyone generally has their opinion, and they will either live or die by it, or they will pound you over the head with it until you buckle. Efferiss realizes something the rest of us tend to forget, that we are human, and a wise man is wise because he will freely admit he doesn't have all the answers.

TyroneCarr is newer, and his enthusiasm and want to be the best, right from the get-go, has already won me over. We've talked a couple of times, he sounds like the kind of young candidate that wants to make a positive impact NOW, and not wait. Having said that, he does not engage in negative campaigning, he doesn't have time for it. He leans right, but he is looking to be a good leader who happens to be a conservative than the other way around. He definitely wants to build a better platform, and he does want to win, but is not going to sell himself or anyone else out to accomplish this. He will rise and fall on his own merits. He is already well-equiped in his presentation skills, and not only is his profile first rate, so are his videos. He has a vision of himself, which truly helps, and if you can picture what it is you want to get done, it will get done, one way or another. I like Tyrone a lot, and I hope you consider him when the time comes.

The point of all this analysis of the many Republicans presented here is this: you don't have to pick the Hard Right bullies. You can and probably should ignore them altogether. They're two-faced hooligans who can only fight when they've got four or five to your one. They're not interested in talking politics; they are here to chase off opposition, one way or another, and if you dare to speak up against them, they'll chase you off as well. They are talking a big game THESE DAYS about cleaning up U4Prez, which is sort of like roaches talking about cleaning up a sewer. The place will be clean only if it is made over IN THEIR IMAGE, plain and simple. And that means ultraconservative and obedient.

Such thugs deserve to be marginalized.

I urge you to reconsider the leadership within the GOP. The party is not there at the pleasure of Kempite and Mduminiak. And you did not declare yourself Republican at U4Prez just to have to take your turn servicing them at the glory hole. They are not the GOP. YOU are!
