For MONTHS I have been saying PAY NO ATTENTION to the “political elite” (Republican or Democrat), the media talking heads, or the propaganda (BY ANYONE) foisted our way to trap, scare, con or HERD the public into NOT UPSETTING THE APPLE CART.

So what is the apple cart?
Political business as usual of course … you know the old status quo?

I hate to bring up the old adage “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

For years the public has fallen for the same old crap by the “political establishments” and the SAME OLD CRAP continues to happen.

How much more SAME OLD CRAP can this nation stand before we meet the tipping point and are on a slide into the great abyss?

The majority of citizens agree WE CAN NOT STAND another 4 years of this BUSINESS AS USUAL STATUS QUO.
How to fix the “business as usual status quo” is the question on every disenfranchised voters mind. Herein lies the disagreement and divide in the voting public today.

NONE OF US can do this alone.
It takes the mass to stand up INDIVIDUALLY and make a choice.
DO YOU PERSONALLY cower in fear foisted your way by the establishment and go down with the TITANIC?
or
DO YOU PERSONALLY decide to THINK FOR YOURSELF … FOLLOW YOUR HEART, VOTE YOUR HEART and become part of the solution that has a chance to keep this ship from sinking?

An article from Canada Free Press was posted to a forum.
It so closely paralleled my own thoughts and perceptions about this election cycle I am posting part and providing a link to the rest below.

We are fast becoming a nation divided by choice.

That choice is to be free thinkers and decide for yourself or REMAIN VICTIMS OF THE CON foisted our way by the “political establishment” WHO EXPECT US TO REMAIN PART OF THE HERD.

It’s All Over But the Voting

The Republican and media Establishments have joined hands in an attempt to lead America buoyantly, triumphantly off the cliff into the bottomless pit of civilizational dissolution. They have fought their version of the good fight, prematurely creating the optics, and, if all goes well, the dynamics, of a two-man race, where in fact there are six men and a woman.

They have settled all their chips on the two candidates who are least conservative, most establishmentarian, and, in their actions and rhetoric, most pragmatic and unprincipled. And they have done everything within their considerable power to disseminate the irrational narrative that now, before a single vote has been cast, life stinks for anyone who is not in one of the two anointed camps.

So what else is new?

In 1964, Barry Goldwater won the Republican nomination. His main opponent was the “moderate” Nelson Rockefeller. Rockefeller was polling well going into the early primaries, until a peculiar write-in movement arose in support of Richard Nixon’s 1960 VP running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. A Massachusetts moderate, Lodge won three of the first five states as a write-in candidate, thus effectively unraveling Rockefeller’s Establishment campaign. This was particularly evident in the first contest, New Hampshire, where Rockefeller finished only one point behind Goldwater, 22% to 21%, while Lodge got 36%, most of which, in all likelihood, would otherwise have gone to Rockefeller. After Lodge formally withdrew from the race, Rockefeller picked up some steam, won a couple of states, and came close to winning California, which might have turned the tide in his favor. Had the Lodge write-in campaign not occurred, things might have turned out in the Establishment’s favor.

In 1976, the Establishment man was President Gerald Ford. Famously, Ford won the first six states, and eight out of the first nine, before Ronald Reagan’s campaign began to break through the mainstream chatter, and to find its audience among the burgeoning conservative undercurrent of the Republican Party. By the time of Ford’s narrow victory at the Party convention, as Reagan, by popular demand, gave a short speech to the delegates, there was a sense among many present that they had just made a huge mistake. (Mark Levin has pointedly emphasized that some of today’s prominent Washington conservatives, such as George Will, did not originally support Reagan in the 1980 primaries. This interesting bit of history gains further trenchancy when one recalls that 1980 was not the conservative punditry’s first chance to take a serious look at the mature Reagan—anyone can misjudge a relative unknown—but the second. What was their excuse that time?)

In 1980, the Establishment man was George H.W. Bush. Though the conservative with the proven constitutionalist credentials was polling well during the spring and summer, the Establishment choice began to “overtake him” during the final months before Iowa, creating the impression of “momentum” in Bush’s favor. (Sound familiar?) Bush won Iowa and Massachusetts, losing only New Hampshire in between. Reagan won almost everything after that.

In 1996 and 2000, the Establishment got the candidates it wanted, in part due to a paucity of credible conservative opposition. (Remember George W. Bush’s unofficial welcoming party thrown by the Senate Republicans during the 1999 primary campaign?)

In 2008, the Establishment wanted Romney, and sure enough, he won three of the first five states, and built up a big lead in the delegate count. Gradually, however, as people began to look at him, to look through him, to run their hands through him and find out there was nothing there, they started looking for other options. Hence, in a campaign which by that time had lost its conservative candidate—Fred Thompson—to the Establishment’s created illusion that he lacked popular appeal, even McCain started to look okay. At least he had an inspiring personal story.

This quick survey of most of the Republican nominating processes since 1964, when modern conservatism began its slow insurgency within the party, suggests a few important conclusions relevant to today’s fight over the soul of the GOP, and, in turn, over the survival or demise of the American republic.

The rest of the story …
