Conservative activist Brent Bozell says it’s time for Republican leaders in Congress to step aside. His organization, ForAmerica, announced “an aggressive, six-figure social media and digital ad campaign” on Tuesday against top Republicans in the House and Senate between now and the midterm elections in November.
“It’s a simple proposition,” Bozell tells National Review Online. “The Republican leadership that has been championing conservative principles and promising action has just failed miserably. A day doesn’t go by where they’re not surrendering on something, and it is the sense of conservatives around the country that they have to step down, that it’s time for them to go.”
Conservatives are “openly disgusted” with the Republican party, Bozell says, pointing to leadership’s failed promise to “put an end” to Obamacare and its tendency to “cave on everything,” such as the debt ceiling. “The Republican leadership said over their dead body would they go for debt increases, and they just did a preemptive surrender on it,” he says. “You just shake you head and wonder what in the world they are thinking making commitments to conservatives only to [break them].”
House leadership’s push for immigration reform is another example Bozell cites as motivation for the new campaign, which will target Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.), and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) on the House side, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and Minority Whip John Cornyn (R., Texas) on the Senate side.
“I am tired of conservatives being asked for money, being asked for votes, being asked for our work, and then being asked to sit in the back of the bus as soon as these people are elected, because they really had no intention of doing what they promised to do,” Bozell says.
Zitat....announced “an aggressive, six-figure social media and digital ad campaign” on Tuesday against top Republicans in the House and Senate between now and the midterm elections in November.
And this is how we are going to shut down these ineffectual losers in the GOP who roll over for the Rats day in and day out. I like this idea.
"I am tired of conservatives being asked for money, being asked for votes, being asked for our work, and then being asked to sit in the back of the bus as soon as these people are elected..."
We should see if Mr Bozell wants to join us here on The Porch. He sounds like our kind of guy!
