I need to vent.
I’m sure everyone has seen this From 52 to 48 thing that is going around. I came upon it a few days ago when I was masochistically reading The Corner and saw one of the less psychotic writers link to it approvingly. Then I forgot all about it, until just now when john Cole reminded me of it.
It’s fucking ridiculous. I have no intention of reaching out to wingnuts, and since the GOP is populated solely by wingnuts of the RedState variety, I have no intention of reaching out to Republicans at all. I don’t want to be nice to them. Fuck them. I don’t understand how someone could vote for the McCain-Palin ticket. I mean, aI get why people voted for Bush in 2000. I also get why people voted for him in 2004, though I disagree strongly with them. But I don’t get voting for McCain after he picked Palin as his running mate. If you voted for McCain I think you acted recklessly and endangered the welfare of the country. I have no respect for you.
The GOP needs to be burnt to the ground. I’m not saying Conservatism in some incarnation needs to swept into the sea (though that would be nice), the non-Free Republic Conservatives are more than welcome to join the Democratic arty. We already have to deal with the Blue Dogs. All the cats who realized that McCain-Palin was dangerous can become Democrats and then the important elections will be Primary fights.
Again, I’ll say it simply: Fuck you, GOP. I hope Rahmbo cuts the shit out of you.
