They didn't disappoint.
I notice the latest talking points are being thrown around liberaly, "cut-and-run conservative" and "the primaries are the time to make a point." In reality, conservatives are not running from the GOP, the GOP is steadily running from conservatism. This point is constantly made clear IN the primaries, where the GOP ignores the more conservative candidate and throws its financial and other support between whoever has more chance of keep the party in control. Both talking points are just that, talking points. Easy for dim-witted party faithful to spew, and meant to stifle debate.
I'm reminded of a scene in the Jim Carey movie "Liar, Liar." Carey's character has just paid a huge amount of money to get his car out of impound and finds a large scratch in the side of his car. After complaining to an impound yard employee, the employee asks: "So? What are you gonna do about it?" Carey's character thinks for a second, the realizes that he's "..just going to bend over and take it, because there's nothing he CAN do about it." The impound yard employee smiles and says "You've been here before."
Yep. Conservatives have been here before. Oh, I'll vote. And I will likely vote pretty close to a straight party line. I'll remain on the plantation because there's nothing else I can do about it, and the GOP loves it.
If any of you party faithful have ideas on how to really effect change in your party, let me know.
Oh, I call them "Murtha Conservatives." Takes less time to type.
