Call it dog in the manger syndrome. If fringers can't get 100 % of what they claim to want, they don't want anything. Unfortunately, their blinkered vision, means that not only must THEY suffer, so must everyone else, when they can get enough of their ilk, to take enough votes away from the GOP and hand, on a silver platter, the election to a Dem. That, in turn, as it did last time, give the Senate majority over to little Tommy.
You're dead on, NP, but there's a twist to this that makes it even more bizarre!
These fringers are like a hundred kids on a schoolground each one wanting to play what they want to play, and if each one doesn't get their way, then play time is over for all.
I could conceive of this a little better if they had a homogeneous idea of what they want, but it's a hodge podge of ideas that lead nowhere.
Yet, they would hand our country over to the Rats because their individual interpretation of what is right is not the deciding factor.
Completely baffling!!
And completely selfish!!
BTW: It's always a joy to see you, old friend.
