The GOP's 'flavor-of-the-week' politics
Recent polling reportedly affirms the conclusion that the current twin-party sham leaves a significant portion of the electorate feeling that they are not represented by either of its self-worshipping factions. For Republicans, the bogeyman is supposed to be Barack Obama. But the electorate's disaffection with the transparently deceitful and manipulative political process is (if you'll pardon the obvious pun on their logo) the elephant in the scheming back rooms of the GOP's mammon-obsessed elitist leadership. I think this is the reason why there's an ominously pathetic "flavor-of-the-week" quality to the opening gambit of the GOP's 2012 election cycle.
That pathetic spectacle tipped toward comedy in the past two weeks as the house organs of Republican hackdom pushed the irrational proposition that the presidential candidacy of Obama ambassador, praise-leader and promoter of bipartisan civility, John Huntsman, rouses cheery enthusiasm among GOP primary voters. Huntsman is perhaps the only pol I can think of who is more obviously "Obama-(not so) lite" than Mitt Romney. He epitomizes the GOP's deep surrender of the moral-political principles on which republican liberty depends. In one breath he calls Obama's tenure "unacceptable and totally un-American" and then goes on to assert that the question for voters to answer is "not who's the better American." Apparently, Obama's un-American results have nothing to do with Obama (which explains why Huntsman and GOP leaders like him refuse to tell Americans that Obama's damaging tenure has something to do with his lifelong commitment to totalitarian socialist ideas, associates, issue positions and policies).
Most people who speak with forked tongues at least have the decency to separate the tines. Huntsman, however, accurately represents the self-canceling rhetoric the GOP's controlling elitist element routinely uses to deceive the party's pro-American grass-roots constituency. Using Obama as a foil, they spout rhetoric that implies American conviction, but in practice they are at best indifferent, and at worst openly hostile, to reasserting America's founding principles through laws, decisions and policies that actually respect and implement them. They refuse to defend America on the favorable ground of principle. Instead they insist on fighting things out on grounds dictated by the totalitarian socialists in the Democratic Party. This feeds the suspicion that they have abandoned America's principles and now tacitly share the view proclaimed on the Newsweek magazine cover that proclaimed: "We are all socialists now.
