I wrote this for our state board just a minute before I saw this thread but it fits:
Have any of you ever seen a train wreck? I mean a really~for~truly off~the~tracks train wreck? The fascinating thing about trains is that most of the wrecks occur at relatively slow speed but because of their mass and momentum, they happen over a large distance.
The net effect is that, unlike a car crash that is over in a second or two, you can witness the damage almost at your leisure. The cars just keep going and going, tearing up everything in their path. Witnessing a train wreck is a combination of fascination and horror. It is terrible to behold, but you just can’t bring yourself to avert your eyes.
What we are seeing (in my best humble opinion) is a political train wreck of epic proportion. The cars have come off the tracks and they are chewing their way through the American landscape, shredding and destroying as they go.
Instead of a survival of the fittest, winner takes all wherein the lamest candidates are eliminated, leaving the champion, we are seeing the best cut from the field of contenders, leaving the dregs behind.
I truly can’t imagine what sort of crap will be left by November, but I just can’t bring myself to look away.
And all of this is being “settled” before any of us even get a chance to have our say.
The Republican party is currently the only viable mechanism for political expression for conservatives in this country. Until such time as another party becomes viable, I’m not going anywhere. But I have no interest in subverting or perverting my principles by voting for non-conservatives so my “support” of the party is mutually non-existent. Hell of a bind to be in, isn’t it?!
God help us...
Nice job.
What if the RNC brokers want to lose the election and they also wanted conservatives to leave so they will indeed lose? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
