It's the sheer, stony deafness to naked political reality on the part of the shrill scolds of Mittens' online Sister-Wife Squadron that gets to me, in this instance. ;) "Why, yes, we are doubling down on the insult of 2008, by demanding -- DEMANDING!!! -- that you all vote for a candidate roughly as 'conservative' as George McGovern, circa 1972! HOW DARE YOU MISERABLE WRETCHES ACTUALLY REFUSE US -- ?!?"
Jim states it with admirable succinctness, in virtually all of his postings: "We Are The Resistance." ;)
