i can tell you this much... the GOP is deathly afraid of nominating another white christian man. the next couple of election cycles, they will be vying with the democRATS to be the first to nominate a women, a jew, an atheist, a homsexual, a latino, an albino, etc.

it’s no longer about the quality of the individual first, but which “first” they can become. the GOP has bought into the “equality of outcome” balderdash hook, line, and sinker.

the GOP is truly “democRAT Lite” now. i’m still registered as a republican, but i loathe the elites that run the party. maybe even more so than those in the democRAT party because the traitors in your ranks your ranks always do worse damage than the enemy across the field of battle.

i will never vote for another Bush. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me three times... nope, notgonnadooit.

The distinction that was illuminated to me was the distinction between "individual" and "group." In principle, we are a nation of individuals. That principle isn't even given token support anymore.

This tribal politics we are living through, once let lose, is hard to put back in its box.

“i will never vote for another Bush. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me”

In this context, it’s more like “Fool me once ... uh ... we won’t get fooled again.”
