Jennifer Rubin Loses It, Pens Open Letter

No seriously, she didn't? Yes, yes, she did. LMAO Not long ago, Rubin was a liberal John Kerry supporting Berkeley grad, today she's firing off open letters to any number of GOP leaders by name as an alleged conservative from the Washington Post. You can't make this stuff up. But it's her pleading missive that's even more bizarre.

Hey guys, you know those voters you rely upon to ply your trade, well, you need to step up and tell them how stoopid they are immediately because my dear man Mittens is being threatened and you won't have a political party if you don't act.

Oh, yeah, why not just tell them to shoot themselves while she's at it? This woman thinks just like a Leftist. What the voters think doesn't matter, it's only the people in charge who can be trusted to make decisions. Good grief. It is getting beyond insulting that the Post would label her a Conservative.

Is it remotely possible this is a parody site and the Post never let us in on the joke? Bold from original at link.

Dear Govs. Haley Barbour, Mitch Daniels, John Kasich, Bobby Jindal; Sens. Jon Kyl, Marco Rubio and Jim DeMint; and Reps. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and Mike Pence (R-Ind.):

... here’s the thing: The voters in their infinite wisdom have just given a huge boost to perhaps the only GOP candidate who could shift the spotlight from President Obama to himself, alienate virtually all independent voters, lose more than 40 states and put the House majority in jeopardy.

We’d be looking at four more years of Obama’s economic policies, four more years of strained relations with allies, several new Supreme Court justices and an unprecedented power shift to the executive branch.

It seems, gentlemen, it’s time to get off your . . . er . . . time to get off the bench and into the game. It is time to make the case for winning conservatism — a conservatism attractive to centrist voters that can be translated into a reform agenda. If conservatism becomes a movement of anti-media bashing and hyperbolic rhetoric, it will cease to be a force in American politics. And if it is led by an egomaniac whose personal advancement takes precedence over any principle, the GOP will be (correctly) mocked.

So how about it? One of you can run yourself. Or you can instead collectively get behind a not-Gingrich candidate. But really, if you are to have a Republican Party to lead one day in the future, you can’t very well do nothing.

My own view is that any one of you would be preferable as a candidate to Newt Gingrich, as would either Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney. So chat among yourselves and decide on a game plan. Figure out how to avoid being dubbed the “sane Republicans who let the party burn to the ground.” But don’t dawdle. There’s another big race coming up.

Best Regards,

Right Turn

"The voters in their infinite wisdom have just given a huge boost to perhaps the only GOP candidate who could shift the spotlight from President Obama to himself, alienate virtually all independent voters..."

Except we have an OBJECTIVE METRIC showing that Newt WON independents who were offered Romney, Santorum (and Paul).

Apparently, he won just about every represented demographic in SC.

Which we were told yesterday COULD NOT POSSIBLY happen.

So, why is Jenn doing the head-less chicken dance...???

"a conservatism attractive to centrist voters"

Ah, you just gotta love how people like her think that conservatives must hook a hard left to appeal to the "centrist", but never run their mouths about how the liberals should hook a hard right to appeal to conservatives. And just what is a centrist? Someone who is socially liberal and fiscally conservative? I.E, someone who is just not quite sure what they support?

Maybe JenRube got a good look at Fox skewering one of their own last night, Charles Krauthammer? Ahhhh, you have to love it when the guppies eat their own. Don't worry, Jen, it's not personal. It's business and viewers and readers are the bread and butter of your profession. Piss enough people off and you too, can become one of Obama's food stamp groupies. What is amazing is not that the Post labeling her a conservative. What is amazing is that the Post would think that anyone even cares what she thinks.

“I think what Rick Perry having dropped out and that patriot having done well for the front-runner, whom I will call Newt Gingrich now, being the front-runner, having endorsed him, was a good smart move,” Palin told Fox’s Bret Baier. “He kind of took one for the team there, the conservative team, when he dropped out.”

The former Alaska governor said Gingrich’s victory in the Palmetto State didn’t surprise her in the least.

“I don’t know, do political pundits back there in the Beltway feign surprise, or are you really surprised that Newt Gingrich did as well as he did?” she said.

Prolonging the nomination race is good for the GOP, she said, adding: “The more vetting, the more ideas vigorously debated, the better it is for the electorate. So we need this to continue, and I’m glad to see the result that was tonight, knowing that it will continue and we can start talking about more of the solutions that this country needs to get back on the right track.”

wapo is one of the largest hit sites. Unfortunately thats where leftists go for their info.

[USA American]

Do you guys seriously believe that Newton Leroy is going to appeal to the demographics he needs to win a national election? His negatives, according to every poll, is approaching 60%. This number is rising with more exposure. Just going by 2008 numbers, Newton Leroy is going to need 65% of the white-non Latino vote.

Do you really think, that because a room full of SC Teatards hooted and hollered when Newton Leroy put the "uppity" Juan Williams "in his place," that a broad spectrum of general election voters is going to do the same thing? Really?

[Sarah]

I will never understand how people can think that Newt is an egomaniac, while the man who has been ceaselessly campaigning for 6 years, and has NEVER won, is somehow without ego. That same man, on the campaign trail for SIX YEARS, who thinks that being on the trail for SIX YEARS somehow guarantees him the right to the nomination. That is an egomaniac and someone who simply cannot and/or will not grasp reality. But sure, Newt's crazy arrogant. Mmmmkay....

[Ragspierre]

40% of Americans identify as "conservative"

20% identify as "liberal"

that leaves 40% as independents.

Newt won among independents.

Idiot.

You DID note that Obama's numbers are at new record lows, right, moron...???

[Ron]

It bugs me when liberal pundits and politicians tell me how I should think and what I should do! However, it also bugs the hell out of me when conservative pundits and politicians try the same thing!!!

[sickofrinos]

rags- I'm unenrolled

[Legalize]

"Newt won among independents."

IN SOUTH CAROLINA, DIP SH*T. SC GOP primary voters are something like 90% white folks over the age of 45. The rest of America IS NOT. Are you too drenched in Kool Aid to not get what happened in 2008 demographically?

"You DID note that Obama's numbers are at new record lows, right, moron...???"

Um, no. Because they aren't. They are trending back up to 45-50 land. Which is where an incumbent president needs to be to win reelection. But the really important FACT that clowns like you can't seem to figure out is that numbers don't exist in a vacuum. Right now, Obama doesnt have an opponent, so his FAVORABLES are a little lower. His NEGATIVES are well into double-digit negative territory, and dropping. Thing is, Obama WILL have an opponent. If Newton Leroy is that opponent, this is what sentient humans see:http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_gingrich_vs_obama-1453.html

FOX NEWS has Newt's unfavorable rating in the plus 30s.

That's Mondale / Dukakis / Dole country, shi*t for brains. Or worse. You realize that if Newton Leroy is your nominee, Kentucky is in play, right? And Texas, right? You think Newton Leroy is going to change a lot of minds in Northern Virginia and the mountain west? Who exactly?

"40% of Americans identify as "conservative"

20% identify as "liberal""

Yeah? Prove it, perfesser.

Seriously. Newton Leroy needs you in the brain trust.

More fun. Even a deluded fool, like the Clownselor should be able to understand these numbers:

Don't believe it, Clownselor; the librul media is lying to you ....

Yeah, I can read, UAssMORON. I can cipher, too.

Your sputum-flecked rant...as usual...shows you are a liar.

But why would today be different...????

"PRINCETON, NJ -- Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal."

I was wrong by a percentage point on the liberals.

Sue me.

[zane]

And who the hell cares what Sarah Palin has to say anymore? Maybe she should just limit herself to riding around on the bus that Greta van Sustern's tort lawyer husband arranged for her.

"He kind of took one for the team there"

Well, Sarah, the last time you talked about Rick Perry, he was taking it on the chin, from you, when you were backing the b/s put out by Babblin' Bachmann. And the time before that, when you were in Iowa trying to steal Michele Bachmann's thunder, the entire state of Texas kind of took it on the chin, again from you.

Go away. You've had more than your 15 minutes of fame. You are sooooooo last decade.

Looks like a good opportunity to pick up a House seat in Arizona.

Heh.

Geez, zaney, you really can be a b!tch...!!!

Quite a capacity for hate there, bud.

rags, doesn't come close to your penchant for opining the mundane.

And the fact that you seem to have no life as you are always here.

[Ragspierre]

See what I mean, zaney...???

That will eat you up. Find someone to love...preferably make yourself someone who can be loved back!

BTW, I'm working this afternoon. Preparing another bankruptcy filing for a client.

[zane]

rags, anyone who uses you for anything is already mentally bankrupt. They might as well through their finances into the mix.

And please, don't tell me you're a lawyer. I'd hate to think that laws schools have degenerated to that point.

There you go, zaney. A really little ally-cat.

I bet you are one eye-scratching little jewel...!!!

Pffft, pffft...

How many Americans identify as thrice married, serial adulterers? Rubin is nuts, but Newt is gonna have problems, whether you like it or not.

"40% of Americans identify as "conservative"

20% identify as "liberal"

that leaves 40% as independents.

Newt won among independents."

Zaney- Reliapundit needs you, as he hates conservatives just like you do.

With her run up in the last few years from Commentary to the Post Jennifer actually believes she's got a chip in the game. She doesn't of course. They just use her like a hand puppet.
