The awakening (?)

From the HillarysVoice mailing list:

Any “conservative” blogs you guys recommend?

Most are too far right for me. Redstate? Looks like it doesn’t get
many hits. I want a place I can complain about Obama and praise McCain
without getting censored.

These poor bastards really haven’t thought this through. Here’s more evidence:

Why I left the party

It’s not just the Obamanation that has made me leave my party of 25 odd years.

It’s Nancy Pelosi saying immediately on being named Speaker that Impeachment was off the table. Who cares about the constitution?

It’s about the Democrats not having the guts to stand up to Bush on war funding

It’s about Nancy Pelosi picking Hoyer over Murtha

It’s about the Democrats caving on the Patriot Act

It’s about the Democrats caving on the NSA spying on us

It’s about the Democrats not filibustering Alito (Thanks Senator Obama!)

Monday the same person wrote:

Call me a sore loser. Guess what? I am. I am not only sore, I’m angry, I’m frosted like a cake, I’m disgusted. Telling me I want to take my ball and go home because I can’t have my way. You betcha. My ball (vote) isn’t just going home with me it will be going to the polls in November and pulling the lever for Senator McCain.

Because, ya know ... oh, fuck it. I give up.

Oh, Kevin… have you forgotten the Civics lessons you were taught? Elections are about those people, not the nation.

But seriously. Is it just me or is there a tinge of creepy evangelical right-wing fanaticism to some of the Hillary voters? You know, the laser-focused, single issue freak-out mentality that every candidate and every election is only about abortion, gun rights, gay sex or what have you. It’s a weird, narcissistic absolutism that makes you wonder how some of these people are able to function in a society.

I don’t know where you find the grit to keep checking up on those folks - I couldn’t stand to expose myself to that shit day after day.

“I don’t know where you find the grit to keep checking up on those folks”

I eat a high fiber diet.

Ehhh, it’s pretty much exactly what I did with 9/11 Republicans back when I ran Catch.com. I don’t take kindly to turncoats when their excuses are paper thin. The I got “bedwetters” to stick, now I can add “Flowbee” to my trophy case. ;)
