Those of you who’ve not been hiding under a rock for the last two weeks will have taken note of the goings-on in the 23rd dictrict up in Noo Yawk State, where the Stoopid Party GOP Republicans Stoopid Party has nominated leftist bimboid Dede Scozzafava – winner of the prestigious, heavily-sought-after-by-the-Right Margaret Sanger Award – as its candidate for that particular seat.  And what’s especially disturbing about this is that not only has the local GOP up there endorsed her candidacy, so has another Republican of note.
Fellow by the name of Gingrich.  Perhaps you’ve heard of him?
“The special election for the 23rd Congressional District is an important test leading up to the mid-term 2010 elections,” Gingrich said in a statement to supporters. “Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington starts here, with Dede Scozzafava.”
Denizens, you didn’t hear from me last night because I was on the verge of being, to employ the aphorism, sick as a dog.  And right now, I’m about to be that way again. 
This, right here, is what the philosophy of the Big Tent™ has gotten us.  The idea that there was enough room in the Republican Party for diametrically opposing views on certain topics that have only one correct resolution…that is to say, if we were to uphold the values & ideals which have sustained us the last 230-plus years…has all but ruined us as a political party.  There’s a reason we lost the majority in Congress in 2006 – because we were too fucking busy acting like Demoscum to remember that we’re supposed to be the conservatives around here!
And this “big tent” philosophy, which is nothing more than the surrendering of one’s spine in order to get more people to like you and vote for you – “naw, it doesn’t matter if you wanna kill babies, c’mon in here and have a drink with us and we’ll all be Republicans together!” – is a direct ancestor of the bogus concept of “compassionate conservatism”, just more of the same ol’, same ol’ “Pweeze, I’m not such a bad ogre, pweeze wike meeeee!!!!!”, until we’ve pulled so damned many of them into the tent that we get people like Dede Scozzafava, who’s so pro-abortion, pro-heterophobe “marriage”, pro-Porkulus, pro-everything leftist that she even got the endorsement of the pussy Markos Moulitsas over at the Daily Kos.  (The link is over at http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/1/12236/8760 – and no, that son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch gets no direct link traffic from this  site as long as I have anything to say about it.)
And Gingrich, I figured you knew better.  You made your name with the Contract with America, where you laid out 10 of the best governmental initiatives I’ve ever seen, and on that strength of those initiatives, broke the stranglehold the Imperial Socialist Congress™ had on the American people for the previous 40 years.  And ever since then, you’ve steadily drifited more and more leftward – until last year, when you lay down on the couch with San Fran Nan Piglousi, the Shrieker of the House, and bleated ad infinitum, ad nauseam  about the long-since-debunked POS philosophy called “climate change”.
And now this.
You’re of scant little use to the conservative movement anymore, Gingrich.  You’re just like Lindsey Grahamnesty, Olympia Snowjob, Susie “Barnabas” Collins John McLame and Benedict Sphincter – salt that has lost its saltiness, and is no longer worthy of anything save being thrown to the ground and trampled underfoot.  “On the ashheap of history”, as Reagan so succinctly put it.
The fact is that we have become so damned fucking lukewarm as a party, not standing firm for one thing or the other, that it’s very small wonder that the electorate has spit us out of its collective mouth.  And rightly so, too.  We have lost our way – such that we kept sending the aforementioned leftist Sphincter back again & again to the Imperial Senate until he finally shed all pretense of being a Republican and turned Demoscum on us, and now we’re nominating an avowed leftist for public office and giving the coldest of shoulders to the bona fide  conservative up there, Doug Hoffman.
We have a golden opportunity here, given that the Demoscum are tanking in the polls – yet, instead of pushing their heads down into the water, we seem hell-bent on racing them to the bottom.  That’s a Republican seat up there in Noo Yawk, a rarity nowadays, and has been for years – but no more if Scuzzy & Newt have their way.
Ronaldus Magnus once said of the Democrats, “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Party left me”.
The Republican Party & I have been somewhat estranged for years, though I still continue to vote for those conservatives who fly under the GOP banner, and in fact voted for McRINO because of the Sarahcuda.
But if socialist bimboid Dede Scozzafava is installed into NY-23, the Party will have finished leaving me, AFAIC.
