Who’s next? Charlie Baker?
So national conservatives forced out Dede Scozzafava from the NY race. What other Republicans can they knock off in the increasingly blue Northeast? Charlie Baker? Christy Mihos? They both favor gay and abortion rights too, right? …
A couple of depressed moderates emailed me after I wrote this post the other day, so I’ll repeat its key line, now that Scozzafava is gone: When not following their convictions when Republicans control the White House and Congress, movement conservatives busy themselves with purist crusades when they’re out of power.
And I’d add: They are complete hypocrites.
