Best outraged Republican post-amnesty quote I've seen so far today

Though unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it. Whoever came up with it was responding to Hugh Hewitt's search for "41 good Senators:"

"While you're at it, how about figuring out where we could find one good President?"

[chuckling sardonically] Guys, if a good President was what you Republicans really wanted to begin with, you wouldn't have nominated Dubya. But if a conservative President was what you Republicans wanted...um, well, then in that case too, you wouldn't have nominated Dubya. It's not just that you had Dubya's record as governor of Texas to go on; you had Dubya's daddy's record as well. I mean, you guys of your own free will saw to it that, for us independents, the only alternative to the Al Bore or to John "Purple Heart" Kerry was good ol' "Son of Read My Lips." Now that your chickens are coming home to roost, I'm doing my best to muster some pity for you, but really, I'm not managing to drum much up.

No, when you picked Dubya, it wasn't because you were trying to find the best or most faithfully conservative candidate. You nominated a guy that you knew was a second-rate talent because you thought he had discovered the magic formula that would let you be a majority party, even though his magic formula involved betraying traditional conservative principles. You just thought he had picked the strategically "right" ones to betray.

I mean, the very label "compassionate conservative" is itself an implicit endorsement of the liberal slander that conservatives who don't think most problems are best solved through government action, are motivated by a morally reprehensible lack of compassion rather than by a rational evaluation of the means best suited to give genuine and lasting help to those who need it. So you found a guy whose favorite description of his own personal political creed proclaimed loudly, "The Democrats who say Republicans are evil callous bastards aren't right about me, but they sure are right about all those small-government Republican types." And you thought, "Hey, cool, this is the perfect guy to lead the Republican Party." Don't try to deny it; you knew exactly what "compassionate conservativism" stood for, but you got in line behind it because you thought it would help your side win. And now you are shocked -- shocked! -- to discover that your Leaving-No-Child-Behind, Spend-Like-A-Drunken-Democrat, When-People-Are-Hurting-Government-Must-Act Fearless Leader is willing to -- gasp! -- betray traditional conservative principles!

Um, just one question:

Are you Republican dudes always this stupid? [still chuckling, with an unholy Libertarian glee, since we Libertarians long ago had to find some emotional mechanism for coping with the knowledge that our only real choices were to be governed either by Democrats or else, well, by Republicans, and my own coping mechanism is sardonic, if-you're-going-down-with-the-Titanic-you-might-as-well-enjoy-the-brandy-while-you-wait amusement. On the one hand, Al Gore or John Kerry; on the other, Dubya...oh, well, as the Campus Crusade folks always used to say, "it's all gonna burn," anyway.]
