In addition to being an 0-5 loser since ending his term as a mediocre Mayor of a sh-thole borough, Lonegan suffers from Michael Savage syndrome, aka a nails on chalkboard voice that mouths whatever the Koolaid drinkers want to hear.
Yes, you see, it's ENTIRELY the fault of the "liberal Republican establishment" that Lonegan lost six separate attempts for higher office. They sabotaged his chances. It certainly has nothing to do with Lonegan being an unlikable abrasive candidate who was carpetbagging in an area of the state he's not even from.
Yet I found out tonight that Lonegan was heavily promoting an entrenched Washington incumbent who really IS part of the liberal Republican establishment. It's Congressman Leonard Lance of the "cap n' trade 8" fame -- the eight traitors who voted with Obama on cap n' trade. Lance is a career politician who has long been a thorn in the side of conservatives and is one of the most liberal Republicans in the House who brags about how often he votes with Pelosi & Obama. Lance had a much more conservative primary opponent ( David Larsen ) but of course, the self-proclaimed Tea Party savior Steve Lonegan was for Lance because the two have a long history of helping out each others campaigns. Lance donated to Lonegan's campaigns, and Lonegan vouched for Lance before conservative groups and claimed Lance is a strong foe of Obamacare who deserves conservative support.
So apparently its OK to be part of the liberal Republican establishment -- as long as you endorse Steve Lonegan in primary.
