I agree. I don’t need sack cloth and ashes from them, but I want them to say, “Yeah, I was a moron. I was so stupid I shouldn’t be allowed to vote again. I’m sorry.”
I don’t want the apologies out of a feeling of vindictiveness. I just want the people who have screwed up my country for the next 50 years to fess up and take responsibility. THEY OWE US THAT MUCH.
That’s my sentiment. I want them to learn from their mistakes. Shame is a useful emotion, used properly.

I disagree. I think the article is actually quite brilliant. It will persuade many more stupid people not to vote for Obama next time than any amount of scolding from people like us ever could.
There are alot more stupid people in this world than there are Conservatives. Unfortunately stupid people also get to vote. Far better it is that they recognize their stupidity and vote properly the next time.
Remember that someone very famous once said “if they are not against us they are for us.”
