The Wall Street Journal editorial page apparently has a hard time seeing what is staring its editors in the face. When liberal Republicans don't get what they want, they defect and vote Democrat. The same thing, however, doesn't hold true for conservative Republicans.

The bottom line is every time I vote for a liberal Republican, I am taking a chance they are going to end up helping the Democrats gain power. This has happened innumerable times in states across the country and it should be an object lesson for anyone who is contemplating supporting a liberal Republican.

I think the more relevant comment in the WSJ piece concerns the “Back Room” D’amato gang. Having milked Nassau county dry from the early seventies until they finally lost it a few years back, they have effectively destroyed the GOP in New York as a counterweight to the Democrats. Thus “liberal” GOP candidates. Nassau GOP was (and might still be) as organized as Tammany Hall, another Empire State product.
