Being cynical is one thing. Acting out on emotion and not counting the costs properly and doing something stupid is quite another.
I submit that voting Dem or not voting at all is an emotion based act of stupidity - and I say that as someone who has been cynical about Karl Rove - and the GOP establishment consultants - since late 2000 and who has a long history of published material on that very topic.
But isn't that exactly what's going on in this thread?
Those who are berating those of us who refuse to Just Vote R
refuse to acknowledge the costs that we do count — lost freedoms and liberties, increased debt, increased lawlessness, and more wink-and-nod to political corruption are unacceptable to us… these are resoundingly denied by the GOPe cheerleaders who say, essentially, vote for Moloch or Satan will win!
