No matter what kind of candidate we nominate, Republicans find something to bitch and complain about
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 07:57 PM by bluestateguy
If we nominate a candidate who is inspiring and charismatic, they say he is too vapid and not substantive.

If we DO nominate a candidate who is a nerdy policy wonk, they mock him for being too boring.

If we nominate an outsider, they say he is "untested" and not experienced.

If we nominate a candidate with significant levels of experience, they say he is part of the establishment and it's time for a change.

If we nominate a war veteran, they dismiss, mock and smear his military record.

If we nominate a candidate who did not serve, they are deemed not ready to be commander-in-chief because they did not serve.

If we nominate a DLC centrist, they say he is a deceptive, dishonest liberal in disguise.

If we nominate a liberal, they demonize him for being a liberal.

If we nominate a candidate who was educated at the best schools, they say he is an elitist.

If we nominate a candidate who didn't go to college or went to a mediocre state school, they say he is a lightweight and not ready.

I mean, gee whiz, is there a candidate that we could nominate that they would kindly not bitch and complain about?

6. The answer is no and that's because they do whatever they need to in order to win.

Ruthlessness is not a natural progressive trait but we'd better learn it.
