Bigotry, Culture Wars and Misogyny Worked Horribly Last Time. So “Republicans” Will Keep Doing Them.

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/06/14/bigotry-culture-wars-and-misogyny-worked-horribly-last-time-so-republicans-will-keep-doing-the-same-thing/

All about the crap being spouted at this week's Fundagelical Fest, and what it says about the stupidity of Reeps.

"Ya know, Mr. Blunt and Cranky used to play bass solos: after he noticed that the audience hated them, he stopped playing them. Bill Clinton used to stop for greasy cheeseburgers on his daily jogs: after he had a few bypasses done, he stopped eating them. Pretty simple to do, right? You see that what you’re doing isn’t working, and you stop. doing.it. But are the “Republicans” aware of this simple truth? No. No, they aren’t."

I just figured they were stupid fucks, but your idea makes more sense and is more practical to boot.

I believe they are aware...I believe that those,to whom they've sold themselves to,mind body and soul,mandate that they ignore that simple truth,and that in their worship of their one true God,the almighty dollar,they fall in line.
I believe that there absolutely are those that are that stupid,Gomer(t),Bachman,Perry,Cruz,et al,but that most of them simply do no more and no less than what they are bribed to do...
I believe that if by some bit of magic,money were removed from politics,my beliefs would be almost immediately verified and validated.

And if there were less money in the process, the nutjobs would be less of a problem.

And lost ground because of these policies. They hit away with it for a while, but the winds are changing.
