Big thanks to the dopey Sierra Club, who in all their dopiness, joined the LCV and decided to endorse Mike Fitzpatrick in Bucks County. If he wins, as they hope, and if that win helps the GOP hold a majority in the House, they can look forward to at least two more banner environmental years from the Republican government that brought them such green and lung-healthy programs as Clear Skies, Healthy Forests, Sequoias Must Go! and my personal favorite, the Get Back to Work at Ground Zero, the Air is Fine Campaign that is now reaping its victims.
And then there's the Philadelphia Inquirer that gave a very narrow nod to Fitzpatrick based on the LCV endorsement as well as his knowledge of the district, supporting my theory that he should resign from the House and run for County Commissioner again.
The Inquirer also notes that "both [candidates] support a responsible plan to exit Iraq," which is news to me. I know Murphy's plan. It's been around for several months. But this is the first I've heard from anyone, inlcuding Fitzpatrick, that he has a plan, responsible or otherwise, to exit Iraq. In fact, the word "Iraq" doesn't show up at all on either of his campaign websites. That's some plan It's a Secret Plan.
But my favorite part of the editorial is this, under Character/Ethics:
Murphy disappoints with his go-along attitude on detainee rights in the war on terrorism, ...
I'm on record as being very disappointed with Murphy's "go-along attitude" on the MCA but how is it possible that the Inquirer can fault Murphy for his awful support of the unconstitutional and immoral bill without mentioning that Fitzpatrick, the soul of Independence, didn't only support the bill hypothetically but also actually voted for it and supports the Party that is working as hard as it can to undermine the country's stabilizng institutions. If anyone in the race owns that monster, it's him.
Your liberal media at work.
