Elections Matter
January 21st 2009 RINOs, GOP, Conservatives

The Geithner Rush Job - Byron York - The Corner on National Review Online

And how can that happen? Well, the Finance Committee announced its new members today, and the numbers from each party reflect the Democrats’ big win in the 2008 election. Starting tomorrow, there will be 13 Democrats on the committee, and 10 Republicans. That three-vote edge means Democrats can do whatever they want, even if Republicans were united against Geithner (which they’re not). Elections matter — a lot.

Yes, they do. Keep in it mind the next time around, and run some conservative Republicans for office. At least in that case you’ll be acting as if you want to win, rather than treating your own conservative base like a bunch of useless hicks.

How did your plan to run to the moderate middle work out for you, anyway? Oh, that’s right. You got your asses kicked. So, remember - elections matter. A lot.

Next time act like you want to win one. And if you do win, don’t start acting like Democrats.
