Time to Drop Out, KT
New York Post ^ | July 1, 2006 | NY Post editorial

Posted on 07/01/2006 1:21:24 PM PDT by firebrand

It is time for Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland to face reality.

It's time for her to end her brief, bizarre flirtation with elective office---and to retire whence she came. She needs to step aside and leave the field clear for former Yonkers mayor John Spencer to oppose Sen. Hillary Clinton's bid for a second term this fall. Spencer was the choice of the state GOP convention last month---though McFarland received enough support to be on the September primary ballot.

The Post reported that she had a master's degree from MIT. I'm sure they didn't make that up. That means she has again falsified her credentials, as she never received any degree from MIT.

Even the usually robotic and liberal New York City delegation to the state convention had four people who refused to go along with this charade, and voted for Spencer!

Enough, already!

The Republican Party in New York is a joke. The safe bet is that the Senatrix will steamroll to re-election.

No point in throwing roadblocks in the path of an excellent candidate, however. Spencer has conservative strength upstate and in Queens, Staten Island, and Westchester counties downstate. And he has the Conservative Party line in November, no matter what, which will divide Republicans---who are already at a disadvantage---if KT wins the primary.

So I echo his comment when he heard KT was running: WTF?

It was reported a while back that McFarland was being funded by people who otherwise give generously to Democrats. It looks like her candidacy is just a "dirty trick" by Hillary's people to make sure Hillary faces a weakened Republican opponent.

I believe this is true. The baby-killing mafia at work, also.

But the senatorial race can lay the groundwork for future gubernatorial candidates. We need to think strategically, and we're in need of state-level talent.

Faso is also an excellent candidate.

I couldn't believe an associate district leader in my neighborhood, at a club meeting the other night, instead of promoting John Faso to the membership, was still talking about how much better a candidate Weld would have been.

They are as bad as McFarland: liberal views trump party loyalty. They need to have their little pointy heads examined.

This is such a beautiful, resource rich state.

I used to scoff at those who called for secession from downstate (throw in Albany), but, damn, perhaps that time has come.

I got a GOPUSA email in April about her that began:



Subject: Reagan Republican could beat Hillary

< SNIP >



But elsewhere (regretfully I do not recall where--if anyone can source it please do!) I found and snipped this clip on her true positions:


The latest arrival to the New York race is Kathleen McFarland, a former Pentagon official who stopped working for the government in 1985. She decided to run for the Senate when her campaign for the House began looking bleak. She explained her beliefs in one written memo: "I believe in a woman's right to choose, stem-cell research and full civil rights for gays. Our family worships in the Episcopal Church, but we are not evangelical. State Senate Republican Majority Leader Joseph Bruno responded by calling her "a very, very high-type lady."

Do Episcopalians believe in God?

Do they believe in God?

We all have a tendency to believe in a god of our own making (pleasure, convenience, power, wealth are all forms of idolatry). We are tempted to make our God in our own image and according to our own preferences. That isn't Biblical but that's fallen human nature. The more we reject human evil for the Bible's absolutes the more truly we de facto believe in God.

So yes, indeed they and all of us believe....

Yes, K.T. should drop out. She would be more comfortable campaigning for hillary anyway.

She would be even more comfortable on a psychiatrist's couch.

Spencer has conservative strength upstate

As a Conservative Party operative passing many petitions for other candidates and meeting with alot of folks I can attest this is true. KT is the Rockefellar Republican dupe being funded by leftist causes precisely to make sure Hildy wins. If Her Majesty loses the re-election bid, kiss the Presidency bye-bye and we know that any good(evil) Liberal can't allow that to happen.

They sure can pick some freaky women to run against Hellary. First it was Pirro, pro-abortion, pro-gay, gun grabbing and with a thug husband. I guess they were trying to fight fire with fire. Now this mean and vindictive "KT" character has been fouling the waters with her sordid family history. Rudy doesn't want to run again because someone has been putting LSD in his Perrier, and that got him thinking he could be the GOP nominee for some sort of nationwide office. I don't know what the GOP can do up there. Evidently, picking a real conservative from Upstate just isn't in the cards because he or she won't play in NYC. Peter King springs to mind.

She sure sounds "high".
