You Go, Conservative Guys- Right to Oblivion
A couple of pieces of Republican news:
From the Washington Post:
"(Dede) Scozzafava, who was stripped of her Republican leadership position in the New York State Assembly on Monday, says she has no regrets and even leaves open the possibility of running for the seat again as a Republican. She sees herself as a champion of local expertise over ideological purity.
"How can Sarah Palin come out and endorse someone who can't answer some basic questions," Scozzafava asked. "Do these people even know who they are endorsing?"
Those conservative forces now descend on Florida, where former House speaker Marco Rubio, who on Monday received the endorsement of the Club for Growth, might shove aside centrist Gov. Charlie Crist, who was once on John McCain's short list for running mate."
And this, from Talking Points Memo:
"A new survey of Maine from Public Policy Polling (D) has some dire news for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), with the moderate Republican potentially losing her 2012 Republican primary against a generic conservative challenger -- and by a landslide, no less. The numbers: Conservative challenger 59%, Snowe 31%, with a ±4.8% margin of error."
With identification with the Republican party having trouble staying above 20% these days- the worst political party numbers in history- there is nothing that should gladden the hearts of Democrats like this kind of news. It makes me so hopeful for the future of our country that these malignant idiots are still passionately embracing the strategy that is reducing them to an irrelevant pack of lunatics. Keep waving your Dachau posters, and shouting about Hitler and Communism, Republicans. And keep kicking out anyone who disagrees with you on any issue. Soon, you will be able to hold your convention in an airport bathroom.
In the long run, nothing could do us more good.
Update: This, via Atrios:
"CHARLESTON, S.C. - Republican leaders in a South Carolina county have censured their own U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for working with Democrats on a climate bill and other legislation."
Eat your own, guys. The rest of us have no use for them.

Did that help?
Believe it or not, I do know what you're talking about in regards to social pressure and voting or saying you're a republican. Come to my hometown and you will get a firsthand look at that phenomena.
The Republicans are winning on the generic ballot for 2010, 48% to 44%, and they don't seem to be loosing any support.

You mean 42% Republican? Don't feel bad, I'll just assume you had a 22 point possible error. What we have are a ton more independents.

Eat your own, guys."
RINO hunting is my favorite hobby.
I have pointed this out to you before, but for anyone not familiar with this fact, I repeat myself:
George Gallup Jr, the son of the founder of Gallup, and the current owner of the company, is a right wing "Christian" who has stated publicly that his intent is to use his company to further his political and religious agenda. For this reason, no faith whatsoever can be placed in any claimed result of a Gallup poll.
Moving goalpost much? Other polls walk the same line as Gallup. gallup is one of the most trusted polling agencies.
