“When I saw his website, I said nobody could be that dumb,” said Errigo, an upstate New York Assemblyman, of Paladino, a Buffalo developer and political newcomer.

Welcome to bizarro America Errigo. The poltical whores are rising to the top spreading fear, bigotry and hatred.

If you think Paladino is dumb, think of his supporters.

Fear, bigotry and hatred works against our own self preservation. The very whore politician is using this fear, bigotry and hatred tactic to lead their followers to slaughter like sheeps. When the sheeps go home they will hear the poltical whore they put into office say on television, “Thank you for putting me in office and now I ask you to go without food, without a job, without health care, and without a roof over your head and rest assure I will continue the fear, hate and bigotry. So long suckers”.

“Mahoney earned criticism from state Republican Chairman Ed Cox, who called her endorsement of Cuomo a “shallow act” that showed “poor judgment.”"

So let me get this right: endorsing a guy who has clearly shown that he hasn’t got the emotional stability to run a garbage collection agency is a sign of “GOOD JUDGMENT”? HOW? Putting a PSYCHO in ANY office is a recipe for disaster! Good fucking God, do the republicans REALLY need to relearn that lesson THIS SOON?

This is what is wrong with at least the republican party, and has been for decades. Reagan’s “11th commandment” about never bad mouthing another republican has turned the party into a complete collection of the most mean spirited, most selfish, least intelligent party I’ve ever seen. O’Donnell, Angle, Palladino, Miller, all of these people are completely INSANE! And not a republican out there asking “What in the HELL are we DOING???” like you SHOULD be (at least not in public). Fact is, the righties have lost it entirely. They have removed nut cases and put absolute psychos up in their place. ANYONE who votes for ANY of these whack jobs clearly has a screw loose, if not the whole panel’s worth. God help us if ANY of these psychos gets in office.

Well written, sir.

I agree and unfortunately an 11th commandment (dem version) is now being thrown around by “moderate” dems.

Now there’s an interesting thought. If the House or Senate gets taken over by the GOP maybe someone will switch ala Spector to prevent it, FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

This is GOOD news. Many conservatives are normal, decent human beings. They have policy differences with Democrats, liberals, and progressives, but that’s good. It keeps the debate lively and the choices wide. Teabaggers, OTOH, are srsly teh KrayZ. The teabagger wing of the Republican party is forcing conservatives to distance themselves from the madness. People of goodwill on both sides of the policy divide can agree that what the teabagger candidates are proposing is nothing short of destruction. Trying to take a highly industrialized, enormously sophisticated technological nation back to the mores that prevailed over a large but rural, scarcely populated nation is simply insane. Sane Republicans, come to the bright side! We haz cookies. You also can has.

They can throw it around all they want. People who vote for Democrats tend to be fairly independent thinkers. If the Democrats truly turn into Republican lite, we’ll vote Libertarian or Green. Or even Republican, if we want to. Why settle for a cheap imitation when you can have the real, truly oppressive, thing?

What can I say. You said it all. Also, too — shit floats.

“He has alienated every group that I could think of,” said Errigo. “He should write a book on how to lose an election.”

Too late, Sarah Palin already wrote that book. LOL

While it may seem that way, it is fair to note that some prominent conservatives have been openly critical of the GOP.

David Frum comes to mind. His blog today has a post titled O’Donnell’s radio tantrum shows she’s not ready, among others, like one criticizing Boner for endorsing the twit with the Nazi fetish.
Just sayin’.

If only the rest of the country where tea baggers are running would do the same thing. The thought of 2 more years of gridlock makes me want to throw up.

The GOP is fully behind all these Tea Party candidates. Hell, they ARE the GOP. Find me one Republican who called out any of the insane comments by the likes of O’Donnell or Angle or Paladino, and there are more just like these cretins. Face facts, the GOP is attempting to sell you 10lbs of crap in a 5lb bag and tell you what a great deal you got. I vote for the best person as I see running for office, but this time I’m voting straight Democratic. That’s what the GOP has done for me. Nice work.

This is what they wanted. Paladino is toast! O’Donnell is toast! Miller in Alaska is toast! Whitman is toast! and so is that $150 Million that she wasted on her campaign! The reason that Palin is running to Florida is because of all the people she supported the only ones who still have a good chance of winning are Rubio in Florida and Nikki Haley. The American people are waking up to these candidates and their insanity. We have some marching around in Nazi Army uniforms, we have various thugs handcuffing journalists, kicking women to the curb, and lying in nearly every ad, constantly lying.

Meanwhile the naive or willfully ignorant idiots who vote for these people hoping that they will somehow change how business is done in D.C. are in for a big surprise. The Republican Party regulars in Washington D.C. are already claiming that they are going to be packing the staffs of these Teaparty Republicans with the same old lobbyists and insiders that have always characterized a Republican run government.

Mitch McConnell has already stated that the main objective of the Republican Party is to prevent Obama from having any successes on which to base a re-election campaign. In straight language that means nothing more than two more years of Republican obstructionism. And for those who voted for the Teaparty to change things again this is going to disappoint.

Any of these Teaparty crazies who think the Republicans are going to do things differently are delusional and the control which the Republican Party will exercise over these people will have the poor Teaparty voter wondering what happened to their idealism by June. By the time 2012 gets here the Republican Party will be through. They will have nothing to show for their continued obstructionist activities and any further attempts to rebrand themselves will finally be exposed for the sham that it is. The problem this election is that the Democratic Party has failed so badly in exposing this current rebranding for what it is.

It’s my sense that the rage of a lot of teabaggers is going to be rapidly exhausted. Unfortunately, most of that won’t happen until after the election, when they’ll quietly think to themselves “Holy shit….what in the hell did I do??”.

Very well said.

The original premise of the ‘Tea Party’ was libertarian in nature, and fairly sensible – less government, less borrowing, less killing, less taxes, more freedoms (hard to argue with that logic). Somehow, the movement was quickly hijacked by the Guns, God and Gays hate group. These goons get their funding from some of the big names in the neo-con crowd. Talk about having the steering wheel ripped out of your hand. The candidates they have dredged up are hilarious cartoon characters. I’m sure that they will poll well with their base of hate-mongers, but I would be surprised if their appeal went beyond that.

Exactly. Untill the GOP publicly denounces the lunatic fringe, they will remain one and the same.

This entire ‘most important election ever’ is like all previous elections, it’s about who gets first dibs on sticking their hand into the public’s pocket. It has nothing to do with party ideology. The politician’s ideology is and has always been ME first.

Why yes, I am going to participate in the farce and for only one reason. If I do not vote, it could cause grave damage to our national security.

[...] Bad news for GOP: Radical Tea Party candidates spur party switches… For lifelong Republican Joe Errigo, deciding to cross party lines and support a liberal Democrat for New York governor wasn’t nearly as difficult as one might expect.

In other words, there ARE plenty of thinking, rational Republicans. Unfortunately for the country, none of them are seeking elective office.

LOL I predicted this months ago and was naturally spammed by all the wingnuts. Obviously the Democratic Party, whose performance has been admittedly lame this past year, should thank whatever Divine intervention has made possible this whacko Tea Party movement, who will end up doing for the Democrats what George McGovern did for the Republicans in 1968.
