Lee a centrist? L O L. Mike Lee is a grifter, extremist, liar and Trump *** kisser.
You are a person of no consequence, who doesn't think two seconds before blabbling ****. You throw out crap because you're on a team cheering for the other side.
I've been around Mike Lee occasionally. He's a little man with a sort of swagger about being reasonable and informed when he's talking to people. He is neither. He grew up talking Constitution from a sort of Mormon notion of it, but doesn't understand the notion of individual liberty or limited government.
He believes in government. He belongs to government. That makes him essentially a centrist. In the sense that he will not really rock the system we have.
Mormons are historically rooted in early socialism, before the idea was hijacked politically to advance British foreign policy and global fascism.
The Book of Mormon advanced ideals of societal socialism building out of the early Christian ideals of socialism, where people financially supported a Church which took care of the poor, and that was expected to rule the world one day with all that niceness.
In the early 1800s European intellectuals supported by government elites donating to universities, doing business as Imperialists worldwide, created a sort of bogus world view about "Left" and "Right" as a tool to captivate analysts trying to discuss politics. Trying to define anyone by that false schema is just stupid, so quit it already.
Lee believes in authoritarian systems like Church oligarchies and wealthy virtuous benefactors with wishes and smiles to barter for political donations, and he doesn't care a fig about any individual "rights".
Trump is in some important aspects a real American who believes "American" things like freedom, opportunity, and government belonging in some sense to the ordinary people. When he got out on his campaign trail, and wasn't just another CFR schill, he discovered a huge wind behind him of millions of people who are just sick of that kind of government that never does them any real good. He just didn't need "system" support, and he actually shared a lot of common ground with all those people who came to his rallies. He loves the show.
He is not ideological, nor a Party Man. Just an American in the grassroots sort of fashion. With enough financial means to be in the game. Independently in the game.
Lee is not anything like that. Lee can be bought, and the bankers and brass at the Silicon Slopes outlets, and the Mo's at the SLC Committee on Foreign Relations all know it. And have their tentacles in his political position.
Romney is the Republican you can beat. He's already senseless and smelling like he's dead. And any aspiring Republican who's in the Lee fight now is only doing it to make name recognition for a Primary race against Romney. Romney will rely on his money to get around the Primary, but he is just politically a dead fish in Utah. He can't win in the General if the Dems get a live candidate out with PR and media appeal. The R will need all that, and some real financial support to oust Romney in the Primary. But to really do that, the R will need the Trump bandwagon. Burgess Owens is the man.
