The Five Reasons Why Romney/Ryan Must Be Defeated In 2012
And Why Conservatives Should Hope They Are
Excerpt - The GOP must be stopped in 2012. The future of America’s ideals of democracy – and of the Republican Party itself – could well be at stake.
Contrary to how it might seem, I am not a partisan bomb thrower. Throughout most of my adulthood, I have been just as likely to vote for a Republican as for a Democrat – in local, state and national contests. I have cast my ballot in presidential races for both Republicans and Democrats. But in the last four years, the GOP has transmogrified into something ugly and vicious and, more important, something wedded to the politics of fantasy and ignorance. It has rushed so far from its moorings that I cannot conceive of voting for members of this party until, hopefully, they pull themselves back from the precipice of self-destruction, paranoia and delusion.
Today, for Republicans, up is down and front is back. Lying has become so ingrained into the conservatives’ national dialogue that they are now dangerously demagogic or, worse, severely unhinged. Blind rage at the election of Barack Obama has wrecked a once great political party. Its leaders have made so many deals with the devil in their almost pathological obsession with unseating Obama that they have pushed the GOP into its own version of political hell – unable to speak truths to their now-rabid and conspiracy-addled base and unable to right the party back onto a path of responsibility.

You should wake up. You're exactly the kind of brain-dead, moran CHUMP that the GOP has been cultivating for 30 years - AND THEY HATE YOU! They hate you, your family, they despise all of your hopes & dreams, and when you die they'll grind your body up and use it to fertilize their rose bushes. BUT THEY'LL NEVER THINK OF YOU AS A REAL HUMAN BEING WITH AN EQUAL SAY IN RUNNING THIS COUNTRY!
