A hostile takeover of the Republican Party
by digby
I’m pretty sure that already happened, but Bryan Fischer swears that they really mean it this time!
“If Barack Obama wins this election the Republican Party as we know it is finished, it is dead, it is toast — you can stick a fork in it,” he told TPM Friday at the Values Voter Summit in Washington. “And conservatives, grassroots conservatives, are either going to start a third party or they are going to launch a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.”
Fischer said he believed Romney would be leading national polls by double digits at this point if he had followed Paul Ryan’s lead and offered more detailed conservative positions on the budget and social issues.
“The biggest mistake is they put a bag over Paul Ryan’s head,” he said. Fischer said he was “deeply disturbed” that Ryan didn’t mention the campaign’s opposition to gay marriage in his speech to the summit on Friday.
“I got to believe that there was some kind of directive from the top of the campaign: We don’t want you to deal with this issue,” he said.
Well you know what that means, don’t you? I knew that you did.
Pay particular attention to Fischer’s delusion that Romney has hobbled Ryan against his will. The same Ryan who whipped for the TARP and the every other Bush initiative these right wingers purport to hate. They’re saving him for later.
