American Greatness- Insufferable Republican establishmentarian Sen. Jeff Flake, hawking his new Conscience of a Conservative book, has been channeling Jeb Bush on amnesty, unlimited free trade, and “civility” (read: “spineless appeasement of progressives and the media”) on the cable news shows these past couple of days. It’s certainly the junior senator’s right to make a fool of himself on TV. However, there’s something offensive about this Romney-Ryan-Wall Street Republican’s “conservative appropriation” of Barry Goldwater’s 1960 book of the same title.

It was there that Governors Rockefeller of New York, Romney of Michigan, and Bill Scranton of Pennsylvania mounted a challenge to Goldwater, savaging him so brutally that Lyndon Johnson’s campaign used the footage in this commercial: read MORE
Does anyone else remember that Twilight Zone episode with the female criminal and her partner who faked dying to make an escape in the casket…but found out after the burial that the actual corpse in the double-casket was the lady who was supposed to dig her out?

🚩 Stupid Republicans 🚩
When are you going to figure out the “McCain/Bush tactic?” Talk rock-ribbed conservative on the campaign trail, town halls, on t.v., then blindly do what the democrats tell them to do.
How many times are you going to fall for this? Primary these scumbags, or SIT ON YOUR HANDS, and let the democrats win for a cycle, then replace that democrat with a non-McCain/Bush Republican!
My God…..pack of dummies.
