UGH.
Yeah.
Look at the latest example/latest Romney imitator. Rand Paul. The guy is on a 3 week run of liberalism, spouting one leftist talking point after another, supporting one liberal idea after another. And what do we see?
As soon as someone points out, with fact, just how far off the reservation Rand just flew the Starship Conservative at warp 9, He has a cheer squad that pops up tearing into Ted Cruz to deflect and saying how we just don’t understand Rand’s cunning plan and that WE are idiots and not true conservatives.
Why does this continue? Why are we not tearing into these people, be they Romney/Rand/Whoever the conservative hating pol of the moment happens to be?
The old phrase about a lie getting half way around the world before the truth puts its pants on only applies because we LET IT. In fact, we HELP IT by not shutting or shouting it down as soon as it happens. We have to.
But in so doing, we are wasting productive time. But it’s only a catch 22 because they are allowed to do it in the first place. There are plenty of GOP websites. But they couldn’t keep us balled up in stasis if they posted there now could they.
