Conservative Surge

[Cerise]

NEW YORK—A third-party candidate is surging in upstate New York, riding a swelling conservative distaste for liberal Republicans and, his supporters say, sending a message to the Republican Party.

New York’s 23rd congressional district winner will replace Republican John McHugh, President Obama’s appointed Secretary of the Army.

The district should have easily gone to Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava but many conservatives, wary of Scozzafava’s support of same-sex marriage and her Margaret Sanger award from Planned Parenthood, have thrown their weight behind Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

In the last few weeks, he’s built national and grassroots support—and also has raked in cash.

Once Sarah Palin threw her support behind Hoffman, other prominent Republicans and conservatives have done the same.

The coming conservative ascendancy!

It’s only the leading edge of a wave
that is leading up to a monumental tsunami of historical proportions!

It shall wash away all the sins of the Osama administration.

yeah yeah conservative surge all right. that's all great but the brighter, non-extremist republicans are becoming alienated.

think these 'conservatives' can win consistently when they are nothing more than a bunch of vocal fringies? doubt it.

this so-called surge seems about as likely to produce results as the 15 year-old lustfully peering at images of his favorite celebrity bimbette, thinking someday, maybe he'll get her.

I think they are to some degree, but mostly it's not about extreme,
on either side.
It's about the same old politics as usual (reps, and dems) that are being alienated.

Many people are just fed up with the greed, and power grabbing.

right, it is exactly the same old shit at one level, but in some other distinctly pleasant ways we're still seeing a disturbing level of extremism, as evidenced by idiots like DoctoRb ORLY TAINT but that's just epiphenomenal of something much wider, deeper, and dumber.

Alienating the Olympia Snows of the partty? One can only hope. Although, it worked for Arlen Specter.

no more like the economically conservative businesspersons that are embarrassed to shit by the god-seething morons that have become so highly visible.

Minks, why would the
'economically conservative businessmen' give a hoot
about these mythical mouth breathing Christians?

Would they not be far too busy earning and counting their profits?
