What’s Wrong with the Conservative Movement?
2009-10-20 - by
The answer in a nutshell is Republicans in Washington.
The other morning ole Newt Gingrich, who talks the talk and has gotten himself anointed as ‘conservative thinker’ numero uno turned his attention from Washington to Lake Placid, New York and endorsed a liberal who’d make Nancy Pelosi proud.
Why would a deep-thinking Republican do that? Because Deidre Scozzafava has an ‘R’ next to her name on the ballot and she’s the darling (and handpicked candidate) of the Washington Republicans – John Boehner, Michael Steele and so on.
And who is Deidre Scozzafava? She’s the Albany Assemblywoman Republican House Leader John Boehner and the gnomes at the NRCC picked and have spent half a million dollars to elect in the Special Election in New York’s 23rd District – a district that hasn’t elected a Democrat since the Civil War. She has two opponents: A Democrat, and the nominee of the New York Conservative Party, which 29 years ago elected Jim Buckley to the Senate.
Ms. Scozzafava’s for gay marriage, abortion, President Obama’s Stimulus Bill and voted for 190 tax increases in Albany and Newt’s waving the flag to elect her against a conservative candidate whose stands on issues are, well, what politicians like John Boehner and Newt Gingrich say they believe in.
We haven’t had a good house cleaning at Republican Central in Washington since the 1970’s when the current Washington Republicans ancestors were fighting to elect anybody but Ronald Reagan.
It’s time to pull out the broom.
