Another RINO is concerned about his party....

I've read David Frum occasionally and find him to be a typical moderate who compromises with liberals. In other words he accepts their ideas with hardly an once of protest and encourages his fellow Republicans to go along to get along. Of course he backs Romney and Huntsman. I recall the words of Mark Steyn about the coming election, "we don't need a compromise, we need a choice.". But now little David is concerned the party can't put put up a good candidate so we may bolt the party.

Hey Dave, don't let the door hit you in the ass!

When Did the GOP Lose Touch With Reality?
Some of my Republican friends ask if I’ve gone crazy. I say: Look in the mirror.

...I’ve been a Republican all my adult life. I have worked on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, at Forbes magazine, at the Manhattan and American Enterprise Institutes, as a speechwriter in the George W. Bush administration. I believe in free markets, low taxes, reasonable regulation, and limited government. I voted for John ­McCain in 2008, and I have strongly criticized the major policy decisions of the Obama administration. But as I contemplate my party and my movement in 2011, I see things I simply cannot support.
No kidding tou've been a Republican all your life. A Blue Blood wishey washie moderate who loved it when men like Bob Michaels would compromise, that is roll over for anything the left wanted.
America desperately needs a responsible and compassionate alternative to the Obama administration’s path of bigger government at higher cost. And yet: This past summer, the GOP nearly forced America to the verge of default just to score a point in a budget debate. In the throes of the worst economic crisis since the Depression, Republican politicians demand massive budget cuts and shrug off the concerns of the unemployed. In the face of evidence of dwindling upward mobility and long-stagnating middle-class wages, my party’s economic ideas sometimes seem to have shrunk to just one: more tax cuts for the very highest earners. When I entered Republican politics, during an earlier period of malaise, in the late seventies and early eighties, the movement got most of the big questions—crime, inflation, the Cold War—right. This time, the party is getting the big questions disastrously wrong.
No, it was Obama and his underlings who led us to the disaster that was the Super Committee Compromise. And for that we got what? Two trillion more in debt over a matter of months and a downgrade of our debt rating. And yes, conservatives in the 70s/80s got the big things right Dave...against the efforts of people like you.

Now I'll try and summarize this moron's delusions with a few points.
...In 2000, candidate Bush routinely invoked “churches, synagogues, and mosques.” By 2010, prominent Republicans were denouncing the construction of a mosque in lower Manhattan as an outrageous insult....
Yea David, Bush did invoke churches for helping the poor in this country get ahead as an alternative to wasteful and ineffective bureaucracies. But Bush did not suggest building a mosque in hallowed ground to insult this country and the memory of 3000 slain citizens.
Today, health reform that combines regulation of private insurance, individual mandates, and subsidies for those who need them is considered unconstitutional and an open invitation to “death panels.” A dozen years ago, a very similar reform was the Senate Republican alternative to Hillarycare.
The insurance industry is already heavily regulated, their is Medicare for the truly needy and we have started the establishment of a panel that will determine if you get life saving treatment based on a cost-benefit analysis. Hell, B Hussein Obama said we would just give some people a pill and make them comfortable. Funny, he didn't suggest that of Teddy Kennedy. I wonder why? Also little Davie, the Constitution does not authorize Congress to force individuals to enter into a civil contract.

A long read but you get the point...this clueless moron really needs to leave the Republican Party and just all himself a leftist hack which he is. To borrow the quote from Mark Levin, "Why just leave the GOP, moron? Why not leave the country? That would be a real act of principle."
