I am not a cool aid drinker. I gave it up after the past Republican train wreck when we were told Republicans were moving ahead in 2006 just before the elections. I remember Hannity telling his audience the day before election 2008 that Republicans were going to win and wondered what they would think the next day.
I really ripped Rand Paul when he went on MSNBC Maddow program and she made him out to be a racist. I was much less polite with him than I am with CO'D. He thought a principled well thought out position would help him and ended up spending the show saying “I am against racism over and over”. Then he released a couple of clarifications. Why he thought she would be fair to him is beyond me. he must have not watched the show. The libertarians were upset with me on that one. If you always tell them they are doing the right thing even when it is hurting them (A+E Intervention) you dont help them, and you end up surprised yourself in the end.
I was complaining about Sharon Angle for a while till she did that illegal immigration attack Reid ad that turned things around, then I posted the ad myself and called her campaign. Yes, I got some grief about those opinions too. That is the way it goes.
Try raising a kid and telling them they do everything right, no matter what. Never, ever, say a critical word.
You will have raised an egomaniac. Hmmmm... sounds a lot like some of our politicians.
