Minarik in the crosshairs

Craig weighs in the Spitzer-Appalachia story, and pretty much agrees that it’s not a big deal. But as a Republican in New York State, he reserves a separate ire for Minarik’s reply, and adds:

Same old yada, yada, yada. Come on Steve, back a real Republican and I’ll back you. In fact you’ve missed a big chance. There are plenty of Republicans in upstate (although their number dwindles each year as they move south to increase the number of Republicans in Charlotte.)

They might stay here if they thought that the Republican party would work towards cutting New York’s spending — and its taxes — and its regulations. But it never happens. The NYS GOP is just diet-Democrat. Take a Spitzer program, subtract a couple hundred-thousand and tout it as conservative.

Diet-Democrat. That’s a pretty funny line.

Anyhow, Minarik’s piece in yesterday’s News may actually prompt me – for the first time in a long while – to take my comments from the blog, clean them up, dress them up in a nice polyester suit from Alexander’s, and send them off as an LTE.
