For all of the knuckleheads within the Kool Aid Kult, it’s lastly time to heed the bartender’s phrases at 2 a.m. after final name.
“You don’t have to go home. But you can’t stay here!”
Here, that means politics. You knuckleheads misplaced, once more, which is nothing new. You haven’t received something since 2019, so the stompings you took Tuesday evening within the Republican state committee races is nothing new.
In Tuesday’s primaries, 77 committee seats have been at stake. The sane candidates – those who, you recognize, truly wish to win elections, as tough as that’s for Republicans in Massachusetts – have claimed someplace between 43 and 47 seats.
The Kult is diminished to possibly 28, 29 dead-enders. It’s over, guys ‘n’ gals. Make a very good Act of Contrition and get the bleep out of right here. Screw!
The remainder of us wish to make Massachusetts a two-party state once more. It’s crucial to have a functioning opposition, as a result of in the event you don’t have one, look what occurs. If you doubt me, simply gaze out your entrance window.
I’ve so many individuals I wish to quote right here immediately. Here’s Oliver Cromwell on the Long Parliament, and what he mentioned in 1653 applies simply as effectively to the Kool Aid Kult.
“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. In the name of God, go!”
How can we miss them after they received’t go away? Although any variety of the knuckleheads have been forcibly ejected from their state committee seats Tuesday evening.
See ya later, Steven Fruzzetti, knowledgeable canine walker from Milton. Boy, did he have a “ruff” evening. He was knocked out by Sean Powers, who works for the final Republican district lawyer in Massachusetts, Tim Cruz.
The GOP misplaced the opposite DA’s workplace it managed in 2022, in Barnstable County.
The state committee beneath Kult management couldn’t be bothered to assist out the Republican candidate for DA on the Cape, identical to they didn’t spend a dime to retain the sheriffs’ places of work in Barnstable and Bristol Counties, in order that they have been misplaced as effectively.
In Bristol, the man who knocked out the incumbent Republican, loyal Trumper Tom Hodgson, acquired lots of of 1000’s of {dollars} from George Soros-affiliated teams.
The Kool Aid Kult didn’t care. They diverted cash ticketed for Hodgson’s winnable race for reelection to the absurd self-importance marketing campaign of Geoff “Deadbeat” Diehl, a sheep in sheep’s clothes.
And but these folks had the crust to run as the actual Republicans. Anybody who needed to win an election was a RINO. They referred to as good Republican ladies “whores.” They falsely accused me, amongst others, of committing crimes that would have price my radio stations their FCC licenses.
The knuckleheads are nonetheless bitter that the capo di tutti knuckleheads, Jim Jones Lyons, was ousted from the social gathering chairmanship final yr by Amy Carnevale, who was with Trump from Day One. She was certainly one of his nationwide conference delegates in 2016.
Lyons, however, is a failed Democrat politician who grew to become a failed Republican politician. He is — was –assisted in his crackpot schemes by Diehl.
For these maintaining rating at house, Diehl has successively misplaced races for the state Senate, the US Senate and the governorship, getting an ever-smaller share of the vote.
Now Deadbeat needs to run for the state Senate once more, towards the identical drunkard who pummeled him in a landslide 10 years in the past, regardless of being outspent 2-1 by Diehl again when he was nonetheless thought-about a critical human being.
Another Kultist who took a pounding Tuesday evening was Dennis Galvin, a former state cop with a $94,000 state pension. He’s a two-time loser for the legislature, so he thought being on the committee made him a giant shot.
Galvin was taken off the board by a Republican who can truly win an election, Leominster City Councilor Mark Bodanza.
Then there’s Taunton Mayor Shaunna O’Connell. She ousted one other lunatic loser. It was O’Connell’s tenth election victory in a row.
In the legislature, certainly one of her closest allies was Diehl. Their political careers have gone in numerous instructions, to say the least, so now Diehl tries to take her down. He even endorsed her opponent within the mayoral election final fall.
Needless to say, being endorsed by Diehl is all the time the kiss of demise. Shaunna was reelected in a landslide.
But envy is – or was – the one factor that drove the Kult. If anybody had received an election, and even needed to win one, they should be RINOs. The extra elections you’d misplaced, the upper you could possibly rise within the Kult.
Jay McMahon is one other of the knuckleheads’ elders – he has three beatings beneath his belt (one state Senate, two AG races). He’s a three-time loser, identical to Diehl and Lyons.
It’s gratifying to lastly be writing about them prior to now tense. What actually threatened them was the rise of anybody who truly needed to win an election. Boy, did they hate Chris Doughty in 2022 when he ran for governor.
Diehl, who voted for Biden within the 2008 Democrat major, screamed that Doughty had voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Lyons, a Cruz delegate in 2016, echoed the costs.
RINO! RINO! RINO!
What the knuckleheads by no means understood is that most individuals, in no matter endeavor they’re engaged in, desire successful over dropping. How bizarre is that?
So among the many many ironies of this ultimate defeat of the Kool Aid Kult is that two of the younger individuals who truly had the temerity to work within the Doughty marketing campaign two years in the past have been elected to the state committee Tuesday.
Amanda Peterson, age 19, ousted a Kultist within the Needham Senate district. And Dan Hickey, who’s possibly 25, received in Watertown. A child from Boston College is up by 12 votes in Sen. Nick Collins’ South Boston-Dorchester district.
And now it’s over. But God, it was a nasty combat. The final couple of weeks I’ve felt like an Orkin exterminator, blasting bug spray into each nook, whereas worrying that some roaches or termites would by some means survive.
You couldn’t have a rational dialogue with them, as a result of they have been all knuckleheads. It’s like Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to say, “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.”
So many acceptable quotes, so little house. I’ll shut with one ultimate assertion from an previous Yankee from Beacon Hill, Godfrey Lowell Cabot, who a century in the past took out a pair of notoriously corrupt Democrat politicians. They have been so incorrigibly evil that he virtually needed to do it single-handed.
“You can go out to kill a lion and gets lots of people to help you,” Cabot mentioned years later. “But when you go out to kill a skunk, you’ve got to do it yourself.”
To everybody who was within the skunk posse throughout these previous few weeks, thanks. It wasn’t a lot enjoyable, however dammit, any individual needed to do it.
