Top Republican Strategist Cashing Checks To Help Destroy Gun Rights…

This is a little side story that few will likely pay much attention to, but it represents the now intense ideological battle being waged within the Republican Party where establishment operatives are willing to work alongside Big Government liberals for cash and power – and to keep the new crop of conservatives as far away from the seats of influence as possible.



(GOP Strategist Mike Murphy represents much of that is wrong with the Republican Establishment…)

_______________________________________

Mike Murphy is a well known (and reasonably well regarded) GOP strategist.  Viewed as somewhat moderate, those views match his high profile GOP political clients that include both John McCain and Mitt Romney.  Essentially, Murphy has been instrumental then in forming the much more tepid (and failing) Republican messaging at the national level for nearly the last decade.

A just released report reveals that Mr. Murphy is now cashing checks from none other than Michael Bloomberg to help roll out Billionaire Bloomberg’s national anti-gun rights campaign. It would appear Mike Murphy, like other moderate/liberal Republicans – has no problem being paid to effectively promote a current agenda that is very much in line with the Democrat Party’s anti-guns agenda of the last twenty years.  Bloomberg is a strong supporter of Barack Obama - the same Barack Obama who attempted to capitalize on the tragedy of Sandy Hook to suddenly push for a massive expansion of federal authority over gun ownership in America.

Thus, Mike Murphy represents what is so wrong with the Republican establishment – an establishment that stands for so little and so willing to fall for anything.  It is this establishment that has turned off conservative voters by the millions that has allowed Democrats to maintain control over the White House and Senate.

That must end. New figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Rand Paul, among others, are pushing back against the Republican powers that be – and gaining both in popularity and influence as they do so. Neither Cruz nor Paul are perfect – no such political figure has ever existed, for you cannot be all things to all people.  They both represent a willingness to speak out against all encompassing conformity though, where it is getting more and more difficult to tell apart a Republican from a Democrat in Washington D.C.  While you may not agree with every statement or stance by politicians like Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, at least they are making statements and taking stands at all.  This country needs more contrast between the Big Government globalists and those who value the Constitution – not less contrast.

As for operatives like Mike Murphy and his moderate Republican clients – they are going the way of the Dodo.

Good riddance.
