Bob Bennett
run out of politics
Utah Senator not Nazi enough for today's GOP
Excerpt:
Three-term Sen. Bob Bennett became the first
victim this year of a wave of voter anger toward Washington
in a defeat that will likely send a jolt through
Republican
incumbents everywhere.
When it was announced that Bennett had been eliminated
from the race, a huge ovation swept through the
convention hall and there were hoots and shouts
of "He's gone! He's gone!" Other delegates hugged and
teabaggers waved their yellow "Do Not Tread On
Me" flags.
Bennett becomes the first Utah senator to fail
to get his party's nomination since Democrats tossed out
Sen. William King in 1940 over King's opposition
to the New Deal. Bennett was in tears as he answered
questions during an emotional meeting with reporters.
This is like Barney Frank being run out of the Democratic party because he wasn't gay enough.
This is pure suicide for the GOP.
They think America, having just elected a Black
president, wants 100% right-wing Bachmann-type handjobs?
Bennett should be crying over the fact that his beloved GOP has gone bat-shit crazy.
Of course, we can expect our Democrats to get the wrong message and
cower in fear and wet themselves
as they crawl under a table and begin to cry, but that's not what's
going on here.
All a Democrat has to do is list the facts, and say something like,
"If the right-wingers take over,
they will force you women to have your rapist's
baby. If you're on board for that, vote GOP."
But, of course, they're too cowardly to use language like that
so they can still pull off a loss if they try hard enough.
