redstate.com has pointed out the disconnect between the Republican leadership and the rest of us. The change to the House Appropriations with a rep that is under suspicion of corruption is the highlighter to this issue.
The difference between redstate and myself is that they focus on the House Republicans and I say it is all Republican leadership whether that is in the White House, the House, the State or local level. As I mentioned previously you will find more Republicans leadership at the local country club than you will at the local VFW.
This is a serious problem for conservative minded people. An honest house cleaning, no pun intended, is all that will restore the party and the conservative movement. The establishment of an us and them environment began many years ago and the gap between us and them is growing. Many of our Senators have more in common with Nancy Pelosi than they do with you or I.
Limousine Liberals and Countyr Club Conservatives will never have the capacity to connect with us. They live in different neighborhoods, walk in different circles and attend different functions than the people they are to represent. McCain came to Yuma County last year to meet and greet and lets just say it was more like the Queen talking to her subjects than our Senator trying to find out what we want.
So I say get tough, write all Republican politicians and tell them you have had enough.
