If money is the root of all evil, for the Republican Party evil is located on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney’s ruin and the RNC’s get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by charlatan consultants making millions off the party, its donors, and the grassroots.
66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP’s defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.
This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza reveals a tangled web of incestuous relationships among Republican consultants who have made millions all while the GOP went down the tubes. Here the top party consultants waged war with conservative activists and here they waged war with the Democrats. On both fronts, they raked in millions along the way with a more fractured, minority party in their wake. And they show no signs of recognizing just how much a part of the problem they are.

Whether it’s the inept consultants the GOP hired, or the bland campaign Romney conducted, the poor ground battle that was waged, or any of the other reasons cited for the GOP’s demise since the election, the final responsibility rests with the Party. In every aspect of the presidential campaign, starting with the primaries, the Republicans, including the candidates, acted like amateurs who did not belong in the major leagues. The ultimate price the party will pay will be the loss of it’s most reliable base and certain defeat in the elections in 2014 and 2016. The mistakes it has made in strategy, tactics, personnel, philosophy, management will shatter the party, and rightfully so. It is morphing into something resembling the Democrats, a process that has been going on since Ronald Reagan left the WH. The Republican Party has to be purged of RINOs or we will have a one party system by 2016.
Haven’t contributed to the RNC for years and see them as just as evil and UnAmerican and traitors to the Constitution as are the Democrats. The Republicans in Congress are mostly spineless basta’ds, with the exception of a precious few that are swimming against the tsunami of greed, stupidity, and downright evil emanating from the communist/socialist left. They vilify those that so name them, as Col. West did, but no one examines the proof that it is true, or demands that they explain how they differ.
