RINO’s such as Quinn pine for the good old days when Republican legislators’ primary role was to get govt to dispense sweetheart contracts and market advantages to cronies while providing massive crop subsidies for multimillionaire farmers and agri-corps.

The problem with these establishment Repulsivecans is that when they do win nothing changes, at least not for the better. Can you see any difference between Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger? Guys like Quinn, Nathan Fletcher, Mitt Romney etc. just want to be players. They want power, influence and money and they crave the esteem of their opponents and the media elites more than the rank and file of their own party, for whom they have limitless reserves of contempt.

The sole historical function of these centrist, business-as-usual establishment apparatchiks is to act like a drag parachute or a sea anchor on the relentless growth of the Leviathan Nanny State. Without them we would be a decade further down the road to perdition. But we will surely get there soon enough and when we do they will be quite comfortable with the whole mess which they helped create.

The establishment of the Republican Party is at war with it’s own base. How politically stupid is that? They should just be done with it and switch to the TweedleDee party where their sentiments, values and attitudes are more accepted. After all, it’s not like this will make a difference in the long run anyway.
