The lowest scurviest Republican to ever live has one thing going for him that will get my vote .
He isn't a Democrat.
It's some kind of "clannish" or "club" deception....my guy is the good guy because I say so (because if not then I would have to admit I am wrong and my team really is not the winner I have my fanatical faith in.). I have some of that in my own family down south....and if there is ever a Zompocalypse and they knock on the door for food they'll get the same thing the other arrogant dumb asses will get, "Nothing here for you, move along. Goodbye."
Back in the late 50's through the 60's and into the 70's it was a funny thing across the table of the "country clubs"...you had one group laughing at the other group because they had deceived (nice word for politician that is really just a damned liar) a bunch of dumb asses to vote for them on the promise of something that either never was or never would be. Eventually they had to give them "a little something" and that grew until the dumb asses had their own candidate where it really grew out of control. You know...wink, wink, nudge, nudge you guys vote for us because we really don't mean it we just need the votes....nothing is going to change...really. Now wink, wink, nudge, nudge has turned the tables and is being used in opposition to what it once was....surprise, surprise, surprise.
So...for some reason(s) there are people who think they live in the 60's political environment that evaporated and remains only as a foul vapor. All I can gather is that otherwise intelligent people have too much pride and arrogance to admit they are wrong in face of overwhelming evidence. I'm supposing that was the same thing with Hitler's supporters...until the night of the Long Knives....and then he reinforced his new group of supporters in that effort which took them to a long road of ruin and resulted in horrendous American loss of life.
I don't give these people a "free pass" now and I won't later. As a society the good suffer along with idiots who drag us down the road to ruin. They built it, they own it, my family is going to have to suffer with it and so the response, "Nothing here for you, move along. Goodbye." You know...that whole shake the dust from your feet thing.
