(90,011 posts)or maybe A.L.E.C. or the Heritage Foundation or some other cockamamie pissant haven for out-of-work, voted-out-of-office CONS who need a paid hide-out and the cover of a recognizable letterhead from a "credible" established front-outfit and a new job title on a new business card for awhile, 'cause they still need to "put food on their families". Makes it APPEAR that they're still legit, too. That's what all these weasels do. And there are so many of these "front" type organizations that are nothing but a safe harbor - or a holding cell, if you will (a nice, cushy velvet-lined, leather-upholstered, three-martini-lunch, K-Street address, chauffeur-driven one) - until they can get back on their feet, or the Dems in charge get voted out, or they can sidle up to some wrong-wing rising star and maybe get back into the front-row seating again.
karen handel probably didn't jump until she knew she had something soft to land on, already lined up. These CONS all stick together and give each other cover and hire each other when they're fired or voted out of office and make sure they still have credibility and "legitimacy" so they can go on TV or cable and and still have a title under their name on the chyron, and be a talking head and build themselves a new platform of influence. That's how they work. They have this machinery VERY expertly set up. They've thought all this through in ways that never even occurred to our side, and that's why they dominate the media to this day.
This won't be the last time we hear from her. If she's a true fire-in-the-belly God-is-on-my-side, then she won't go away. She needs to be watched. Because SHE won't see this as finished. She won't see her work as being done, or stopped, or prevented. Just slowed down a little. And GUARANTEED, she's gonna keep at it. We just have to keep an eye on her. She'll either hide out in one of these CON institutions and advocate that way, or she'll go to ALEC or something and try to go back and work it with partisans at the state level, or she'll go completely under the radar and try to do the most damage she can without being noticed. WHICH IS WHY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYS ON OUR RADAR. These bastards can get a LOT done when they're not watched.
