GOP Congressional Candidate Will Demand Cheney's Impeachment

Moloney sees a chance in congressional race
Perennial contender hopes to shift his party

This is the fifth in the Daily News' five-part series profiling each of the candidates to replace the late Tom Lantos in Congress. The two Democrats, two Republicans and one Green will compete in an open primary on April 8.

Republican Mike Moloney believes it will be an embarrassment to his party if he wins election to Congress - and he's proud of that.

"The Republican Party is bankrupt morally, spiritually and emotionally," Moloney said. "It's been hijacked by the nuts on the religious right."

A perennial contender for the 12th District seat long held by the late Tom Lantos, the boisterous Moloney aims to be the Libertarian thorn in the Republican Party's side. Though he calls himself "an Eisenhower Republican," he admits he only switched to the party several years ago to get more visibility for his incendiary views.

- snip -

His well-placed jabs and self-deprecating jokes bring levity to the campaign trail, but Moloney is dead serious about his opposition to the war in Iraq. He sees recent U.S. policy in the Middle East as the product of a dastardly alliance between the oil-hungry Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, Israel-allied neoconservatives led by Paul Wolfowitz, and Christian extremists who want a holy war with Islam.

He's convinced that if someone doesn't stand up to the Bush administration soon, Iran will be next.

4. And He's Still A Repugnican???
Maybe this dude thinks he's "the last good repugnican" or is brain damaged and can't tell which party he should be in. It's an interesting tactic in a very liberal district and I doubt any repugnican could take this seat, so it sound very much like a PR stunt to me...running to the left in the district to see if he can peal off a few Democrats and Independents to win the primary. Let's see if he wins the nomination and if he still bucks the party.

While commendable and long overdue for a GOOPer to take off the blinders. But this is just some rumblings from a non-entity...a fringe candidate with no chance of winning and is far different than almost every other repugnican running around the country. Iraq has become highly toxic for the GOOP, yet most are so wedded to the profits and the corruption, they can't divorce themselves. They know that saying the war is lost or a waste or even that it was wrong is "treason" in their hive...all but asking for local hate radio to tear you apart and cut off the dwindling financing.

I wish this Don Quioxte luck, but he's literally one in a million. The rest of the GOOP not only still supports this regime, but wants to continue its failed policies. This alone will doom them in November.

5. "hijacked by the nuts on the religious right." is a cover-up of the Corrupt Bastards Club!
BIG MONEY owns them lock, stock, and barrel. They use God to hide their corruption and con the voters, period!
