There's this 'Fellow' 'Republican' named Joseph Cotto...

...who has posted, as a 'Republican', calling for the defeat of Wisconsin (REAL) Republican Governor Scott Walker in the upcoming recall election. Cotto says (h/t pw commenter Dale Price) that 'his' sort of Republican isn't really the kind who argues with Democrats; he'd rather let the bully win than get scratched in battle.

Just a weak-spined whimp, Joseph Cotto.

My comment, left at the Washington Times site where this whimp writes...

Firstly, hopefully, the Cotto kid lies. He is not a Republican by stretch of anyone's imagination...or at least I hope he's not. Perhaps he's a plant, a Moby?

Cotto may be a 'dream' Republican in the eyes of the new far-Left Democratic Party; a 'Republican' they can manipulate with deft application of slurs. Cotto likely can't stand up to being called a RAAAAACIST! or some other Alinsky-derived, Obama-honed tactic that Democrats have perfected for use on our 'soft', pliable, weak blue-bloods who are now proven ideological losers (eg. Bob Dole and John McCain).

It's dangerous to allow Cotto to brand himself as a Republican. Like Brooks and Frum and Lisa Murkowski, these sorts give ground to the encroaching Left with every 'moderate' deal they make, and by doing so drive the much-vaunted 'Center' farther to the Left. Congratulations! You've a new starting point; can't you move just a bit more for us, please? It's for the CHILDREN!.

Does anyone really thing that we've stayed Centered, politically, in this ever-weakening, struggling-to-survive Republic? Or have we moved increasing Left-wing as time's passed, because the so-called 'Republican' Party is so weaked by the 'moderates': Cotto, Frum, McCain and Romney, and their ilk, that have as their first-response to 'give ground' easily? 'Losing more slowly', as it's been termed. Google it.

The TEA Party is a response to the far-Left; and as such is a natural and important response to the far-Left. Perhaps it's too late to expect that these good American TEA Partiers (who only want to see this Republic NOT become just another far-Left goon-land dragged down by encroaching neo-Socialists) will succeed in righting this Republic.

Meh. Cotto. I direct a pungent yellow stream in your general direction.
