Bush crowd pouring money into campaigns of hack GOP candidates who will 'play ball' with lobbyists

.

The Bush crowd isn't quite done selling this country out. They're pouring money into the worst, lobbyist infected, GOP hacks in order to keep out new right of center Americans who might put this country first instead of last.

"It always has been a two front political war.

Here’s the other front, Tim Carney at The Washington Examiner: "K Street and Tea Party again fight for soul of GOP:"

Big business and the Tea Party are at swords’ points once again, with GOP Senate primaries for the second straight election becoming proxy battles in the war over the soul of the Republican Party.

Conservative insurgents pose serious threats this year to establishment Republicans in at least three open-seat Senate races. In every case, political action committees and lobbyists have hugely favored the establishment pick with contributions. One reason: The GOP establishment rallies industry donors behind the Republican seen as stronger in November. A deeper reason: The revolving-door clique of K Street and Capitol Hill operatives needs Republicans elected to upper chamber who are likely to play ball.

Paul Blumenthal at HuffPo stoplights the Lugar-Mourdock and Dewhurst-Cruz match-ups as the center of the fight, Senate Races 2012: Republican Establishment Tries To Tamp Down Tea Party Insurgency:

Six-term Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) seemed all alone in facing an insurgent Tea Party primary challenge from state treasurer Richard Mourdock, who is backed by big money from the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks. In the past few weeks, however, top GOP senators, establishment Republican groups, and big-name donors have stepped in with a mix of ads touting Lugar’s long career and blasting Mourdock in an effort to save the embattled incumbent.

On Tuesday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) endorsed Lugar and announced they would cut ads to support him. Last week, the American Action Network, a conservative group with ties to the Republican Party in Washington, D.C., launched a campaign of negative ads against Mourdock, costing more than $300,000. Major donors, including former fundraisers for President George W. Bush and McCain, are putting money into pro-Lugar super PACs.

You can sit it out and moan and groan, or get involved. You can support Richard Mourdock here and Ted Cruz here."

Ed. note: The third front is 'professional Republicans' who enable Grover Norquist, a person no better than George Soros. Instapundit is among notables who do so. This 'front' bothers me the most because it means Breitbart lived in vain. Democrats and K Street Republicans can be dealt with. Norquist enablers cannot. The proprietor of Instapundit linked to a favorable write-up of a new book by the vile Norquist, then did better and interviewed him himself about the book. Throughout history criminals have achieved public acceptance by entwining good works alongside their main passion which is being unimaginably vicious.

Rush explains the Ruling Class GOP will fight more viciously to defeat conservatives (and Tea Party supported people) than they will to defeat Democrats.

11/20/10, "Revolutionary Do-Over," Wall St. Journal, John Fund

"An old Washington story goes that when Martians land near the White House, everyone inside the Beltway flees in terror. Everyone, that is, except for the folks at the favor-factories known as Congress's Appropriations Committees, who rush to greet the spaceship and say, "We're here to help with the transition."

• There is always a danger that this election's invading aliens—aka, tea partiers—will gradually succumb to Beltway mores.
