Pulling
Ticks Off RINO's
CAIRO, NY—
Perhaps the composition
of the House of Representatives will change dramatically in a couple
of years if the new administration continues to step on its own tail
with each new spending effort and blatant flip-flopping on its
major campaign promises. Time will tell.
But here in a rural corner of
upstate New York that includes the state capital city known to
locals as Small-bany, we have the unique immediate opportunity to
fill our vacant seat in Congress while the consequences of unchecked
collusion, hypocrisy, obfuscation, and amateurism that have altered
our country so much for the worse in such a short period of time are still fresh in
our minds.
We who reside in the 20th
Congressional District will be able to pull a voting machine lever
long before the
spin doctors and teleprompter programmers get yet another two-year
crack at brainwashing the gullible-at-large with a cool new slogan and an
empty GQ suit.
Along with our
frustration over the socio-economic tinkering that we have had zero
power to minimize, we can voice our opinion
about the re-gifting of DVD movie collections to foreign dignitaries and
about low
bowling scores referred to as Special Olympics moments.
We can attempt to punish the
malfeasances of a substantial, growing number of infamous
appointees, supporters, advisors, colleagues and special-interest
friends of the administration
while their names are still on the tips of our tongues.
We get to vote to undo the
nothingness that surrounded our previous representative, elected as
a result of an eleventh hour marital melt-down of the
incumbent.
The hack defeated by
Kirsten Gillibrand might have been elected anyway
if not for her over-touted NRA membership (the
district includes the US county with the highest incidence of
tick-borne Lyme Disease, the result of its abundant population of
crop-ruining deer that continues to multiply despite the best
efforts of her fellow riflemen) and a special photo-op visit by her
former boss, Bill
Clinton.
We get to tell our
scandal-ridden Governor that allowing Hillary Clinton to hand-pick
her replacement with the aforementioned Clintonista policy wonk,
despite his own party's preference for a far more intelligent,
better-qualified Democrat, will backfire on him when liberals and
moderates alike opt to nominate that person -- New York Attorney General Andrew
Cuomo -- over him in the gubernatorial primary.
Of course, in order to do
those things, we've got to pull the lever for yet another RINO; yet
another self-styled maverick who reaches across the aisle often
enough to make Conservatives wonder if he isn't actually the Democrat
candidate for the vacated seat in Congress.
Any New York Republican
who has been in office for as long as Jim Tidisco in our liberal environment with its oversized state
government and intricate system of political favors must, himself, be
carefully examined for ticks.
Nonetheless, job one for
both conservatives and moderates is to regain enough Congressional seats
to bust the unchecked troika. We can attend to pulling pesky ticks off
RINO's later once the de-lousing of our dangerously liberal Congress
is accomplished.
