Senator Hoffman?
Giuliani makes Scozzafava look like Taki. But last time, Hoffman held to the line of Bush and the Club for Growth on immigration. And he held to the line of Bush and Palin on war, including the “War On Terror”. Has he learned the lesson? Capitalism and its wars not only are not conservative, but nor do they deliver the votes. So perhaps, in the state that returned James L. Buckley to the Senate under strikingly similar circumstances, what is needed is a candidate who already knew that both of those things were the case. Who and where is that candidate? What with this and, we may yet hope, the nomination of Bob Conley against the preposterous Joe Wilson, next year’s Congressional Elections are shaping up to be very, very interesting indeed.
invoking the beloved and admirable Sen Buckley—-that is a worthy battle cry, and I believe one that is winnable.
isn’t it time we had a Senator ??
“Capitalism and its wars not only are not conservative, but nor do they deliver the votes.”
A good test case will be Pat Toomey’s senate race.
Jeremiah, who is up against this “invade the world, invite the world, in hock to the world” candidate in the primary? And in the election itself?
The president of the Club for Greed is will probably face the conniving shyster Arlen Specter in the general election. Specter is opposed by Joe Sestak, who continues to rise in the polls. Peg Luksik is challenging Toomey in the primary, however she’s a long-shot candidate. However, your’re always a long-shot candidate nowadays when speaking in favor of decentralization, the importance of family and faith and stopping the war party. http://pegluksik.com/beliefs/
Simply on the issues, she is by some distance the best of the four. The only opponent of the war agenda, the only economic and cultural patriot, the only one not in thrall to the Israel Lobby, and so on.
I realize that not many people on here would share the concern, but when are the Dems going to get their act together? Sestak v Luksik may be an outside bet, and Lustik’s victory over Sestak may be even more of one. But waht if it happened?
Might the Dems finally get the message: “If you’d only run a pro-life, pro-family, antiwar, economically and culturally patriotic supporter of public healthcare and the Employee Free Choice Act, then you wouldn’t now be one vote down on public healthcare and the Employee Free Choice Act”?
And the Republicans might finally get the message, too: “You can only win what is now a naturally Democratic state in the Northeast, not with an Arlen Specter, but with a pro-life, pro-family and antiwar economic and cultural patriot”.
