Have You No Sense of Decency Sir, At Long Last?
By Tom Forbes at August 21st, 2010.Conservative Christians who voted for Clint Didier may be experiencing some buyer’s remorse right about now. Foul-mouthed Didier spokeswoman Kathryn Serkes told Publicola yesterday:
So is Dino saying, “Fuck you” to those people [who supported Didier]? “Fuck you, I don’t need your votes? I can win with 33 percent”
This was the second incident of F-bombing by the Didier campaign in the last few weeks. During the botched Didier-Akers joint webcast, staffers could be heard on-air referring to a “clusterfuck.”
Rossi, of course, said no such thing. He is simply refusing to submit to a laundry list of demands that Didier says Rossi must meet before Didier will endorse Rossi. Rossi understandably rejected those demands. Can you think of any other candidate that polled just 12% of the vote that successfully made any demands on a victorious candidate? This is not Czechoslovakia and Rossi isn’t Neville Chamberlain.
And by the way Ms. Potty Mouth, Dino doesn’t have just 33%:
The first KING 5 Senate poll for the 2010 general election shows Republican Dino Rossi is actually ahead of Democratic incumbent Patty Murray, 52% to 45%.
In most polls leading up to this week’s primary election and on primary night, Murray was in the lead. Primary election results placed Murray 13 points ahead of Rossi, but Rossi splitting the Republican vote with Clint Didier who got 12%, and Paul Akers, with 3%.
Oops.
I agree with Caleb Hannan at the Daily Weekly. Rossi is better off ignoring Didier’s demands. In any case, this cannot end well for Didier and his Super Bowl ring-sized ego. And if Rossi loses a very winnable election with the U.S. Senate at stake, Didier may want to consider growing alfalfa in Uzbekistan.
Finally, here’s some advice to the Washington Campaign for Liberty, whose members backed Didier so vociferously. I generally respect the membership of the C4L, who other than a few crazies, are very thoughtful and intelligent. They realize that they can only advance their causes by forming coalitions with other groups.
Didier’s high school jock testosteroning, as echoed by cheerleader Jerkes, is making him radioactive. Take care you don’t get contaminated yourself.

Forbes is a mindless partisan of the Republican Left. The torrent of his hatred and lies about Didier are a matter of record and the reason he no longer blogs for Red County, despite their measurable bias in the Establishment direction. Seeing him published, here, on nwDigest does not say favorable things about the editorial policy.
The bitterness his diatribes sow sprout into crops of Republican Party resentment and division that, undoubtedly will be reaped in a harvest of defeat for Rossi.
Doug Parris: Clint Didier’s campaign made you relevant again in Washington politics. That’s another unfortunate byproduct of his startlingly inept candidacy. But alas, welcome to the Internet. Where every fool can chime in with his two cents.
I gladly voted for Didier in the primary and I’m gladly voting for Dino in November….endorsement or no endoresment!!!!!!
I no longer support Didier. I wish I could get a refund for my donations and my time. His actions will hurt future candidates because I, and I’m sure I speak for many others, will be far more reticent to contribute in the future.
Didier and, more than Didier, his wacko supporters, are hurting Didier, conservatism and America.
Clint’s post election actions have erased the chance for another “season” for him. Hit the showers bud. I’m embarrased that I tried to help you win. Your “Game Plan” obviously didn’t include assembling the right people with the composure needed to avoid playground language.
I was thinking that Didier was the guy to vote for but a few days before I filled in my ballot. Then Clint made a couple of public statements that took him off the table. I’m sorry I can’t remember what he said but it was some far right stuff that never works with the independents and that is who the GOP needs to attract, the independents, if they expect to gain seats and get elected in Washington. Then his deal where he and Ackers combined (or whatever that was) was more than strange. This latest gambit by Didier to try and parlay 12% or so into who knows what is another big “why?”. All I can say is that I’m glad I voted for Rossi as Didier either needs seasoning or he needs to get smart on how to run a campaign in Washington which is a blue state. Or maybe both. I would also like to add that I think Didier is a nice guy and I hope that he tries again. We need people like him to make this country work for the better.
Didier showed a lack of class by his demands and behavior after the primary. Although I am actually more interested in the spokesperson he has speaking for him, Kathryn Serkes. She is president of Square One Media Network. She has her fingers in a number of issues, including; Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), Doctor Patient Medical Association, Take Back Washington. Here bio appears here: Kathryn A. Serkes .
I don’t know this woman, but she has done a lot of damage to Didier’s reputation. Her other associations are suspect as well now.
