It feels like the GOP has become a party in which moderates are villified, conservatives are pilloried, and only the bat-shit wackos are considered for president. <br />These days, even Pat Buchanan is too liberal for the hardcore Right.<br />My only hope is that this schizoid break in the GOP gives Democrats the time to freaking wise up and get something done. Never have I been so disheartened by a group whose values I generally share but whose tactics and confusing tiny-bark-but-no-bite-ism chagrin Americans who might actually agree with them if they could get it together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-48430050620654101012009-10-27T17:08:37.124-04:002009-10-27T17:08:37.124-04:00And, say whatever you wish about Gingrich and his ...And, say whatever you wish about Gingrich and his endorsement about Candidate X, but conflating him with leftists is just cray-zee.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-1629910585296464762009-10-27T17:07:36.835-04:002009-10-27T17:07:36.835-04:00I'm biting my keyboard, but I made it through ...<i> I'm biting my keyboard, but I made it through without taking a shot at You-Know-Who. </i><br /><br />Well done.

Rather, he's defending an unfortunate pick by the NY GOP. That's Mr. Gingrich playing by Reagan's 11th commandment, but from the little I know, the criticism is spot-on. Ms. Scozzafava is apparently rather dense, setting up for an 'attack' speech outside her opponents HQ. Most political officies do not lack for signs and volunteers, so within moments she was surrounded by Hoffman signs and volunteers. Really bad call on her part, and we don't need more foolish people in DC; right now, it is chock-a-block with stupid.<br /><br />Oh, and Gingrich for President? C'mon. The man is bright but a loose cannon. We need some serious executive competence in the WH, and Gingrich isn't up to the job.<br /><br />p.s., I'm biting my keyboard, but I made it through without taking a shot at You-Know-Who. 8^)Gadfly Johnnoreply@blogger.com
