Boehner Lies About GOP Inclusiveness
When asked whether Scozzafava’s decision sends a signal from the party to other GOP moderates who may be pondering seeking elective office, Boehner stressed, “We accept moderates in our party and we want moderates in our party. We cover a wide range of Americans.”
Ah, but we know the calls for the RINOs to be purged are mounting. Boehner’s comments are more wishful and forward-looking than truthful. Anyone with eyes, ears, and a brain attached to them knows that the intolerance of diversity among the right is being increasingly enforced through strong informal sanctions by their enraged, flat-earther base.
The other hilarious element here is the argument from principles. The principles or this hard-right demographic are as fluid as water. These folks went from hard-core Bush boosters to denigrating everything Bush did in just over a year. Principles? What principles?
