Hugh Hewitt has always been a Republican-before-conservative conservative, and a GOP party man who places victory and an (R) before principle. Even though he's one of the first conservative voices that drew me to conservatism, he lost me a long time ago because of that, and put the cork in when he shilled for Mitt Romney in the primaries to the extent of doing everything he could to ridicule, belittle, and undercut all of Romney's opposition.
But Hewitt's dead-on here. Kingston doesn't get it. GOP leadership doesn't get it. They think we're stupid. We did what we could to right the ship and send them the strongest message we could by bringing new blood into the House last November. Leadership parroted the successful campaign rhetoric of those successful Tea Party candidates, and rode back into congress on promises they never intended to keep. Failing to keep them will be the undoing of the party and the country.
Hearing that simpering fool Kingston try to 'splainaway the GOP's shame and weasel his way out of committing to unfund those things he promised to unfund makes me feel violent.
