Finkelstein, the one-time political guru to former U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato . . .

Most Freepers may not know this, but Al D'Amato lost his Senate seat to Chuck Schumer in 1998 after he (presumably on the advice of his "political guru") deliberately avoided seeking the endorsement of the Right to Life Party in New York. After the snub, the RTL party ran their own candidate . . . and D'Amato lost by several thousand votes in a race where the RTL candidate received tens of thousands of votes.

Nice contributon to the thread, AC.

All of us have seen and heard these pro-abort RINOS at Republican functions, talking the Planned Parenthood talk, trying to dilute Pubbie values.

These RINOS are nothing but useful idiots for Republicans. One of the reasons these hangers-on might be kept on in the party is b/c they write big checks.
