Trent Lott and the Party Crashers: an open letter

Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott made an unnecessarily obnoxious comment over the summer.

"We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples. As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them", he told the Washington Post.

Former Senator turned power broker lobbyist... what we don't need is a lot more of you and your lack of ideas. Shut up.

You held the leadership for critical years: years when we held the White House, the House and the Senate and we could have, should have, implemented a strategy to destroy the American leftists. We could have privatized much of government. We could have slashed spending; we could have reduced the size of the federal government by 20-30%; we could have reformed the tax code, social security, healthcare. We could have imploded the Department of Education, the EPA, the NEA. We could have given people back 20% of their hard-earned money, taken burdens off of small business, harnessed our own oil and shale and coal production.

We could have done that with a lot of Jim DeMint disciples. Instead, man who sucked at the teet of Government for 35 years, what did we get? What did we get??

Barack Obama.

Bill Clinton.

How did these candidates emerge? Their ideas are proven fallacies, their beliefs are categorically opposed to the American dreams. But they were seen as an alternative to failed leadership. They filled a vacuum of ideas.

You are that vacuum of ideas. Republicans worked so hard to protect their majorities with the likes of you and Arlen Specter and Olympia Snow that they did nothing with their majorities. Actually- not true. They did a great job at damaging the Republican party.

It took Barack Obama's socialist overreach to bring us back into the spotlight. Now we have the chance to present our ideas to the American people, not just as a counter to Barack Obama's recycled Carter Stagflation, but as a truth. Only dedicated and true-blooded Republicans will present these ideas boldly and without compromise.

Like a Senate full of Jim DeMints.

Tomorrow Mike Castle can win the Delaware primary. He's the GOP favorite. And I bet he's your choice, too. Only problem is that he's not a Republican. Well, maybe your kind of Republican. Christine O'Donnell is winning in the polls and the GOP is trying hard to destroy her because she's a Jim DeMint Republican.

And Lisa Murkowski in Alaska is thinking of running as an Independent. Like Charlie Crist. Two more loser Republicans that the voters were smart enough to reject but who are fighting hard to stay alive. For the party? Ha! Yeah. For the party. Same reason you Trent made those unneeded comments about us "Jim DeMint" Republicans.

Don't forget Reagan's 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Talk Ill About Another Republican. That includes you, Senator. Sorry we aren't welcomed in your big tent, Trent. But your days are over. You had your year... your 35 years. Now it's our time.

Long live the Conservative Movement. To Marco and Joe and Christine: Godspeed.
