The “teabagger” coalition of racist inbred cretins took a hit in New York, but they re-established their supremacy in “Macaca” Allen’s Virginia by elevating a notorious misogynist to the office of the Governor.

That was no surprise, and I fully expect them to knock off a few “Blue Dick” dems in 2010. The Rushpubliscum Party is well on its way to establishing itself as the last bastion of racists, misogynists, religious bigots, and the hopelessly illiterate.

But that’s a given; the inbreds do, and will, control the Rushpubliscum Party in Dixie. The more interesting stories, I think, will come from outside of Dixie, in the places where the inbreds try for a repeat of the “Hoffman” trick they pulled in upstate New York. And I wish them well in their endeavors; I would be pleased if they found a way to elevate a hundred Michele Bachmanns to the House, and a couple dozen Tom Coburns to the Senate. I want their public face to be as radicalized as they can make it, because the more of these idiots they elevate, the more scary-and stupid-they look to the vast majority of us.

So I wish the cretins well in Utah, where they are likely to prevail. And I hope they succeed in Florida as well. The more of these Stalinists there are in the forefront, the more of us there will be who realize that the Rushpubliscum brand is too far gone to ever seriously consider as a governing entity.

Utah has emerged as an improbable battleground in the fight for the future of the GOP, as the party’s veteran U.S. senator — with nary a whiff of personal or political scandal — has become one of the most threatened lawmakers up for reelection next year.

Robert F. Bennett is no Northeast liberal. Raised in Salt Lake City, he built a business, manufacturing day-planners, that made him wealthy. His grandfather was a president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His father served four Senate terms — meaning that, combined with Bennett’s own three terms, father and son have held the seat for the better part of 60 years.

Yet those very attributes — longevity, seniority — only compound the challenge facing Bennett, who, like other Republicans across the country, faces attack within the party from those who find him insufficiently conservative.

As last week’s elections showed, the 2010 campaign is shaping up as another driven by a deep, throbbing anger against the political establishment. President Obama has been a prime target at rowdy town hall meetings and “tea party” protests, and Democrats certainly have much to fear, as they hold the majority in Congress. But the free-floating hostility may pose a danger to members of both parties.

“This is not a Democrat problem. It’s not a Republican problem. It’s an incumbent problem,” said Cherilyn Eagar, one of three Republicans, so far, taking on Bennett. “It’s on both sides of the aisle.”

A national poll issued this week reflected that sentiment. Only about half of the registered voters interviewed, 52%, said they would like to see their representative reelected next year, among the most negative findings in two decades of Pew Research surveys.

Eagar and others, boosted by the conservative Club for Growth, cite Bennett’s extended time in Washington and criticize his willingness to work with Democrats on issues such as healthcare reform and the Wall Street rescue approved amid last year’s financial crisis.

“People are fed up with the way Washington has historically conducted its business: horse-trading and giving this to get that,” said Tim Bridgewater, another Republican running for Bennett’s seat.

The insurgency is not limited to Utah. In several states, Senate hopefuls on the right have taken on comparative moderates preferred by GOP insiders, who consider them more electable.

In California, former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina — seeking to be the Republican nominee against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer next year — faces Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of Irvine, who is rallying support from conservatives nationwide. In Florida, Gov. Charlie Crist is fighting a stiff primary challenge from former state House Speaker Marco Rubio.

“One side feels the Republican Party has lost its way and sacrificed its basic principles,” said Jennifer Duffy, who tracks Senate races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. “The other thinks the party has moved too far right and become inflexible and intolerant.”

That worries some Republicans in Utah, which has not elected a Democratic governor in nearly 30 years or a Democratic senator in nearly 40. Last week, a traditionally GOP House seat in upstate New York went Democratic, thanks largely to party infighting driven by nationally prominent conservatives.

U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson, a popular Democrat who represents parts of Salt Lake City, its suburbs and a good chunk of rural Utah, has ruled out a Senate bid, to the relief of GOP insiders. “But if it looks like Republicans are totally killing themselves and he can walk into the seat, I believe he’ll switch and put the race in play,” said Dave Hansen, Utah’s GOP chairman.

For now the focus is on Bennett. He has already spent more than $500,000 — exceeding what some entire Utah congressional races cost — and aired his first TV ads. Bennett did not run a single spot in 2004, when he easily won reelection.

Critics have taken to the air as well. The Club for Growth, which funneled about $1 million into the New York race, has aired spots criticizing Bennett’s sponsorship of bipartisan healthcare legislation, even though it has gone nowhere. “We see this bill as pretty much a massive government takeover,” said David Keating, the group’s executive director.

Ah, that points up ANOTHER advantage this gives those of us who wish to see the Rushpubliscums buried. The idiots of “Freedom”Works and the Club for “Growth” spent a hell of a lot of money in New York. If they can be pressed to continue to spend at that rate, they can be sidelined before a general election campaign. Since these are stupid organizations full of stupid people, they don’t seem to have figured that out yet. Is it any wonder that they thought Chimpy’s spending without revenue could go on forever?

More power to ‘em. Spend, boys, and then spend some more. Hock your gold fillings.
