>> and to support Republican incumbents.
Really? That’s some kind of official policy?
If so it’s not a wise one.
I can see the Senate chair supporting the (R) against the (D) in the general. But knee-jerk support for a loser like Specter against a real conservative like Toomey — especially when that support comes from a guy like Cornyn who poses as a conservative — is just dim-witted.
Think of this logically: would you like it if such a Committee DID take sides in a Primary?
THAT could lead to real tyranny.
This Committee should listen to the voices of the primary voters, YES!
However, would you want this group to make endorsements in an “open primary” where NO incumbent was running?
Think this through. Let the incumbent Republicans do what incumbents do. It does not much matter.
The voters will decide this matter!
In trying to get what we want, lets not destroy the true neutrality of institutions that don't do what we want.
When Toomey wins, Toomey will be endorsed by this committee, even if Toomey has a challenger in 7 years.
