The GOP’s Long Love Affair With Schmucks

The Daily Beast ^ | January 29, 2015 | Nick Gillespie, editor-in-chief, Reason

Remind me how many major cases Marco Rubio or Rand Paul have won at the Supreme Court.

[Olog-hai]

“The Daily Beast’s Long Love Affair With Alinskyism” . . . they still don’t get that ridicule actually does not work.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. how about the looooooong love affair of the DEMS with the Clintons .. or are they too afraid they will end up in pieces on the cutting room floor if they don’t support them ..?????????????

Gillespie is such a dick. Democrats are the big gov't party so of course they are going to pick people who have been gov't hacks all of their lives. Republicans, or at least a significant portion of them, believe in small gov't which necessarily leads them to want to take a look at people who have worked outside of the gov't hive for some portion of their lives.

You'd think Gillespie, being a putative libertarian, would identify with this impulse. But apparently not.

[exnavy]

The writer is simply simple minded.

[ifinnegan]

Reason and Libertarians are not on the right side.

They have serious intellectual deficiencies.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Of former Governor Palin’s 22 endorsements last year, 20 won. Secretary Clinton scored 8 out of 20.

You’d think Gillespie, being a putative libertarian, would identify with this impulse. But apparently not.

I would think Gillespie (puta lib) would suck up to Paul as he’s pissing on RINO’s and conservatives alike.

According to Nicki, Sarah is all washed up so he is going to continue to remind everybody of that until they remember it.

I am charitably calling this article an interminable ramble,” “an extended stream-of-consciousness complaint,” and simply “bizarro.”

[Boogieman]

Ok most of this article is lib hyperbole, but this line cracked me up:

“In the current climate, Donald Trump is haunting the Republican banquet like Banquo’s ghost, ghastly evidence that something’s not quite right.”

[Boogieman]

Also, Republicans still usually pay a bit of attention to history, and revere the founders, so we know that some pretty darn great leaders of this nation weren’t full-time politicians or lawyers, but rather ordinary men who rose to the occasion.

[Tennessean4Bush]

This is the stupidest article I have read in years

[Hostage]

Who the frick is this A-Hole Nick Gillespie?

[Zenjitsuman]

How long was Obama a Senator before he stopped doing that job full time and became a full time campaigner for POTUS.

How much money did Dems spend trying to bankrupt the Palins with Crap Phoney Baseless charges. How many were proven?
the answer is NONE.

[Responsibility2nd]

Who the frick is this A-Hole Nick Gillespie?

Gillespie has always been a dick! Half educated, half intelligent and half in the bag like most ‘Libertarians’.

What he, and they are, is simply Libertines with their desire to eliminate all taxes and moral order along with it. Typical dip shit . Likes drugs and money, thinks it makes him smart.

[Clemenza]

Actually, the founders were a well educated, prosperous lot. Not Wal Martian reality show contestants.

[peeps36]

He doesn't seem to have much to say about the enormously unqualified bastard who is currently stinking up the oval office. I would gladly take any of the people on his list over obola or Hillbilly Clinton.
