Linda McMahon Is Too Liberal For Some Republicans

I really do recommend reading the original – it is interesting and well researched:
Latest WWE character: Linda McMahon a/k/a “the Wild RINO”

….Without further adieu, WWE presents its 2010 U.S. Senate candidate in Connecticut, Linda McMahon…

…Mrs. McMahon now gets to play the role of a conservative Republican in her bid against Senator Chris Dodd…

I mean, of all the people whom she could have been a regular contributor to, you think a true believer in conservatism might have excused themselves from writing huge checks every election cycle to Rahm Emanuel?  

And Connecticut liberals are gleeful that Mrs. McMahon contributed over $10,000 to the DCCC,….

And please don’t think this was all part of some old, repudiated phase in her life….like Reagan being a New Dealer.  Just months ago she was bankrolling Virginia Democrat Mark Warner’s U.S. Senate bid.

McMahon did something lots of Connecticut Republicans did in 2006 –contribute to Joe Lieberman’s campaign. Of course, most of Lieberman’s contributors also made the effort to vote in the 2006 election. McMahon didn’t bother to cast a vote ; perhaps it’s easier to write checks than to wait in line at some Greenwich polling station…

In fact, it appears McMahon wrote more checks to elect Democrats to the Senate than Republicans. But ok, she says she’s a Republican? Well, what kind of Republican?

* One who supported various PACs affiliated with liberal Republican Christie Todd Whitman, the former NJ Governor. PAC’s whose very purpose was to oppose conservative Republicans. 

* One who contributed to Whitman’s daughter ’s unsuccessful NJ congressional race

* One who has had turncoat  former liberal Republican Senator Lowell Weicker on her corporation’s board of directors for over a decade

I mean, what more could she do to convince me she’s a liberal Republican? Although she says she’ll spend $30 million to convince me otherwise.

Hmm, hire as top consultant part of the NRSC’s brain trust that wrote a blank check to Lincoln Chafee?

Oddly enough, no one is attacking Rob Simmons for being too liberal, despite his support of gay marriage and abortion rights. In fact, most mainstream conservatives, and even some further right, are rushing to support him.
