Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The Democrat hijinks in Mass. that we discussed yesterday is starting to slowly get some national attention. Nut graf from today’s story:

There is also the irony that Senator Kennedy, who urged state legislators to approve the special election bill, was himself once an indirect beneficiary of the state’s appointment system. When John F. Kennedy left his Senate seat to become president in 1960, Gov. Foster Furcolo, a Democrat, appointed Benjamin Smith, a former college roommate of the president’s, to fill the seat until Edward M. Kennedy could run in 1962. That prevented anyone else from making a name as a senator to compete with Mr. Kennedy.

Isn’t it touching that whenever you need a sterling display of hypocrisy, a Kennedy steps forward and handles the job for you?

*** Update ***

Good- Jay has picked this up.
