Like I said, cynical. I've so over the Republican Party at this point I don't think any of my money is going to any of their candidates.
The whole sorry thing reminds me of that joke about the guy who picks up a hitchhiker. The hitchhiker pulls a gun on him, forces him to pull over and take off all his clothes, then ties his wrists to his ankles and leaves him there, naked and hunched over on the side of the road. The poor guy is wondering what he's going to do, when suddenly out of nowhere a cop car pulls up and, to the guy's immense relief, a cop steps out and walks toward him. "Officer!" cries the grateful man, "am I glad to see you! I gave this guy a ride, and he pulled a gun on me, and took my car, and left me just like this." At which point the cop pulls down his zipper and says, "Boy ... this just ain't your day!"
