Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on conservative opportunists…

We can now all breathe a sigh of relief.  The fiscal cliff has been avoided.  That it was more a curb than a cliff and that disaster has been postponed, not averted, is conversation for another time. Today we’re going to look at a pattern among most serving Republicans – the embarrassing exchange of principles for practicalities.  It happened again with this deal. Our elephants put aside their promises and surrendered to political opportunism for the – quote – “good of the country.”  Remember, this cliff was the result of a 2011 surrender to postponement temptations.  It’s all just a marketing game being used to distract us from the real issues – including the need to live within our means, quit expanding unfunded entitlements, reform our tax code, and step away from misguided military adventurism.  Washington Republicans surrendered again this week and thus exchanged one cliff for another.     

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid and blessed conservative…
