The moderate Republicans in the house fall into two categories:
- Legitimate moderates.
- Those who vote moderate only when their vote does not matter (Rudy Boschwitz is a classic example).
That being said, I don't care. If you vote for Hastert/Delay or the kitty killer, I want you gone.
What's more, the reason that these folks are still in the senate is because the RW realizes that if they ran one of their own, they would lose.
I'd rather have a sadistic equestrian necrophilic Democrat (but that's beating a dead horse) than a saint as a Republican.
The consequences of Republican control of both houses of congress is simply too awful.
I'm suggesting that our current strategy, of trying to run strong candidates against these folks in the general, is the wrong strategy.
We should find Neanderthal Talibaptists to challenge them in the primary, and make sure the knuckle dragger has the resources to win.
Surely we can find someone to run against Shays, or Collins, etc.?
