I never thought I’d see the day that people would argue that a candidate like Romney would cause freepers to turn on each other. Nor did I think it possible that posters would take to carpet bombing actual conservative politicians.
A year ago you could not have convinced me that a freeper would use the homosexual agenda to promote anything much less a liberal for president on the Republican ticket.
I have to wonder if there is any actual hope. If people really are this stupid, perhaps it’s time to sit back and just let them self-immolate. They don’t want to see reason. They willingly state principle is for ‘losers’ and anyone retaining them to be mentally unstable. They actually WANT the hell their willing actions history has repeatedly shown will occur.
If this is what ‘conservatism’ has become, those of us who still believe in something should consider some form of rebranding. And let the oh so wise gay loving and liberal loving ‘internet conservatives’ to their own devices...before they take the rest of us down to DU with them.
Dole... Bush... McCain... Bishop Mittens. An inexorable leftward progression... and the "TrueBlue" types still mutter and fret that their current Hair Apparent might conceivably be "running too far to the right."
In '72, George McGovern ran on a platform of "Acid, Amnesty and Abortion." Forty years later: the candidate of the Republican party is a lifetime champion of two out of said three.
"I didn't leave the Republican party; the Republican party left me."
