Political parties are not living beings. They are inanimate organizations just like rental cars are inanimate objects. Like rental cars, the way they behave depends on who is in the driver's seat and that can change in one day. ... If you don't like "the GOP", then don't whine that you are going to abandon the GOP car so that you can ride a third party tricycle and become political roadkill. If you don't like the way the "the GOP" car is being driven, then fight to get in the driver's seat. .... Polybius

Is the GOP standing up to the sludge being poured out by the McCain sour grapes gang on the only true conservative (and real Republican) in the entire campaign? Right. Didn’t think so. Next... Scothia

What part of the concept of what an "inanimate object" is do you have a problem understanding? ....Polybius

What part of “sellout” do you have trouble understanding? .... Scothia

Ummmm ..... Hey, Rocket Scientist, "inanimate objects" can't be "sell outs". They are not alive.

Is the word ""inanimate" too long of a word for you?

A ventriloquist's wooden dummy cannot be a "sell out". A car cannot be a "sell out". A TV set cannot be a "sell out". Those "inanimate objects" are not alive. They cannot think or feel or form an opinion. You have to be alive to do that.

Only a ventriloquist, a car driver or a TV performer can be a "sell out".

If you do not like what a ventriloquist dummy is saying, it is rather idiotic to rant and rave about the dummy. It is nothing but a lifeless, wooden doll.

If you don't like what what a ventriloquist dummy is saying, you take control of the dummy, move his lips, say things with your own lips and then the dummy "says" exactly the same thing you are saying.

In American politics, "the GOP" and the "Democrats" are the two cars in a two car race. Everybody else in the race in triclycles or skateboards only pretend to be in the race. In order to win the race, you have to control one of those cars.

Now that you might be beginning to know the difference between a something that is alive and somethging that is "inanimate", maybe you can try to understand what I first wrote to you:

"If you don't like "the GOP", then don't whine that you are going to abandon the GOP car so that you can ride a third party tricycle and become political roadkill. If you don't like the way the "the GOP" car is being driven, then fight to get in the driver's seat."

I’m so glad I have you to explain things. After all, I’m just a dumb girl.
