2 Out of 3 Ain’t Bad
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
“I want you– I need you; but there ain”t no way I’m ever gonna love you. Now don’t be sad. Don’t be sad; ’cause two out of three ain’t bad…” That’s my favorite Meatloaf song, and it could be the Rockefeller Republican theme song. The Country Club Republican and the blatant RINO generally understands they need Conservatives to win general elections. They want us to show up and vote on election day for whoever the Establishment puts on the ticket. But there is no love lost for us on their part. We’re the ugly step-sister; we’re the crazy aunt. We’re the Holy Rollers… the neanderthals stopping the moderate progression of American society.
The conservative Republican won big in Virginia’s governor race; hopefully, proving last year’s Virginia win for President Obama was an aberration not a sign of things to come. Even more surprising was the Republican win in New Jersey. Governor Corzine, a traditional Liberal was defeated by the Republican candidate in spite of Obama campaigning in the Garden State several times. Conservative candidate Hoffman lost the 23rd NY US House race by less than 3% of the votes. If Scozzafava, the pro-abortion and pro-gay rights RINO, had dropped out earlier her 5% of the votes could have given the Conservative a victory. Instead, she dropped out the Saturday before the election, and on Sunday, supported the liberal Democrat candidate. A Pox on her house.
We can only hope, these races are a harbinger of what is to come in 2010 and 2012. The Conservatives, the Tea Party movement, and the Libertarians need to keep up the pace they have begun since the summer. Beat the RINOs in primaries and run strong general elections offering a better path to prosperity and peace than that of the Liberals.
