When former President George W. Bush developed his Progressive Compassionate Conservative Ideology, he set up his administration for failure. As soon as he came into office, the Radical Totalitarian Progressives began non stop attacks. He became an object of ridicule and it became cool to oppose Bush. When 9/11 occurred there was a break in Bush bashing, but this did not last. After Bush’s Iraq blunder, his popularity began to decline and the Left jumped all over it. Using Alinsky style attacks, the Progressives destroyed his presidency and BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) became a hip opinion.
Why were these attacks successful? This was due to Bush not fighting back and allowing the Left to define the terms of debate. Karl Rove admitted this was their biggest error. Why didn’t Bush fight back? He was an elitist Progressive Republican who wanted to get along with the Left since he agreed with many of their goals. This mentality is prominent with Leftist Republicans like John McCain, Lindsay Graham and even some Donors.
A prominent Evangelical figure and Republican donor says he will end his contributions to the organized Republican Party in reaction to the leaked fundraising presentation that advised using “fear” to solicit contributions and displayed an image of President Obama as the Joker from Batman.
Mark DeMoss, who heads a major Christian public relations firm in Atlanta and served as a liaison to the Evangelical community for Mitt Romney in 2008, wrote Chairman Michael Steele yesterday that he was “ashamed” of the presentation, calling depictions of Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Majority Leader Harry Reid “shameful, immature and uncivil, at best.”
“I’m afraid the presentation is representative of a culture and mindset within the Republican National Committee,” DeMoss, a past member of the RNC’s “Eagle” program for top donors who gave the party $15,000 in 2008, wrote in the letter to Steele, which he shared with POLITICO. (DeMoss hasn’t given this cycle.) “Consequently, I will no longer contribute to any fundraising entity of our Party—but will contribute only to individual candidates I choose to support.”

Mark DeMoss is the type of Compassionate Conservative who is afraid to fight the Progressives. He would rather drink tea and try to reason with the Left, rather than fight. As Glenn Beck and the Tea Parties have proven, the Progressives when attacked can’t fight effective. No mercy is to be given them since they view politics as war. People like DeMoss need to get out the way, and let those that want to fight go for victory.
Compassionate Conservatism is a failed Ideology and Republicans must reject this ideology and it’s quisling mentality.
