You Don't Need A Smerconish To Tell Which Way The Wind Blows

Today's Philadelphia Inquirer column by Michael Smerconish was a textbook conservative complaint about the cowardice of political correctness.

It looks like someone wet his finger and put it in the air.

Geez, what are we gonna do with ‘em if all these lefties finally wake up and smell the roses?

[freedom1st]

This guy is a real phony

[Tribune7]

I’ve stopped listening to him.

Smerconish is as PC as they come.

He’s also an Obama supporter. I wouldn’t even dignify him with the appellation “RINO”

Smerconish doesn’t strike me as all that much of a conservative. He was a leading cheerleader last year for McCain, this year for Scozzofava, all on the grounds that a weak republican is better than a strong democrat. His is just the sort of thinking that perpetually rewards mediocrity like McCain, unmindful of human nature’s tendency to continue down the path of approval. His stand on Scozzofava was so inane as to cause readers to spill their morning coffee all over the keyboards. Somehow, he concluded that she was a republican, albeit a somewhat “moderate” one.

Give him to the democrats, along with McCain and Scozzofava, who have already donated themselves.

Dream on. Their just feeling a little heat from the PC crap being used against them. They have no intention of not using PC crap against conservatives.

He was a leading cheerleader last year for McCain,

He supported 0.

If it came from Smerconish, he must have gotten it from someone else’s book.

A self-hating “Republican” Obama apologist.

This guy is a nomad.

I went to college with Mike Smerconish: he WAS a good conservative then.

Looking at his photos, I conclude either Law School turned him left, or his conservatism waned with this hairline. . .

[Tribune7]

He had been a moderate conservative -- I saw him campaign for Dubya in 2004 -- up until this last election, then he sipped the 0 Kool-aide.

Giving credit where credit is due, Smerch's article wasn't half bad. That being said, I was instantly reminded of the saying, "Even a blind squirrel will find a nut once in a while."

I wish the Big Talker would drop this idiot. When I hear his voice on commercials, I change stations and I know others who do also. So for any advertisers who may be reading this, stop wasting your money by hiring this a**hat to do your spots, no one is listening.

"You Don't Need A Smerconish To Tell Which Way The Wind Blows", but it helps.

Still, he was an outspoken proponent on at least one talk radio show he guest-hosted for supporting McCain on the premise that it was better to vote for a watered-down faux conservative republican than a democrat. I listened to the show and tried to call with a rebuttal. The show was one normally hosted by a conservative.

Who he ended up supporting and voting for, I have no idea. If he was a democrat vote, that makes him all the more phony in my eyes. It means he is, as a liberal, hoping to help the GOP decide how it must be comprised, advice that carries no credibility or weight at all.
