I am weary to my marrow of the deep moral and intellectual sickness of the right
as encapsulated within the republican party. I'm tired to death of their racism, sexism and nativism. I'm sick of their homophobia and demonization of everyone who isn't fundamentalist 'godly'. They laud stupidity and elevate hate.
In the spectacle of their race to be the most extreme, they issue a ****ing torrent of proposals, one more loathsome than the next. In under a decade, the republican party has transformed itself from being mean spirited but with a semblance of sanity, to a party of hate that's batshit crazy.
I'm so bloody sick of it. Not so many years ago, I could sometimes laugh at the stories posted here, illustrating this crap. If I didn't see those stories as entirely anomalous, I didn't see them as representing the whole of the republican party. Now? It's almost impossible to find even shallow pockets of decency and sanity within the republican ranks.
Maybe there's still some hope that the republican party can be transformed from the toxic entity it now is, but what with the control they have over state governments, redistricting, the deterioration of voting rights, unlimited funds and organizations like ALEC, it's exceedingly difficult to see how that happens.
Guess you haven`t looked around yourself lately have you DUmbass?
Go back to the Carnies at the fair after the midway shuts down.

What a coincidence...I was just thinking of how weary I am of cali.
Odd how the universe works. She was weary of an entire political party, where I am simply weary of her.

You and me both! :cheersmate:

Should fix that to deep moral and intellectual sickness of the left.

My gosh! What mindless blather. Does she give any specific examples?

Based on posts by DUmmy cali herself:
DUmmy cali is an idiot who lost her job by sabotaging her employer with a lie about earwigs.
DUmmy cali is an idiot who then became a perpetual drunkard.
DUmmy cali is an idiot who then took a drunken tumble and broke her leg.
DUmmy cali is an idiot who then became a pain pill addict.
DUmmy cali now says she is weary of Republicans.
It's probably just the oxycontin kicking in.
Hang in there, Ms. Gage.

Earwigs got her down again. :mental:

In other words, anyone who doesn't think exactly like me is hateful. I know this because my overlords told me. I cannot think for myself so I can't have a normal dialogue with people who don't think exactly like me. I am a whiny little bitch because I've been conditioned to be angry and depressed and dependent. I am a victim. Republicans are icky.

An interesting exchange regarding the socialist Bernie:

21. We won't need many votes from them.
A lot of Bernie's support is coming from disaffected, unregistered or new voters, who weren't on anyone's radar before. I think he can win without any support from the right, but the fact that he can peel a few away from the clown car, to vote for policies that everyone agrees on, is encouraging. His history as an Independent will be a little easier to stomach for those who have been indoctrinated against Democrats. But the lion's share of his support is coming from Democrats.

23. Then your expectations are in the ballpark because if nominated he would get close to zero.
Only 26% of Republicans would consider voting for a generic Socialist. Once conservative media and GOP SuperPAC's and the campaign of the Republican nominee got going that would be less than 1%.

25. He's not a generic Socialist (but you knew that).
When people hear what he has to say, most agree.

28. We can argue what Bernie is, but that doesn't matter, and YOU know that. It only matters what
perceptions are created by the campaigns and their allies. And I can say with 100% certainty that if nominated, the conservative SuperPAC's, conservative media and the GOP nominee will paint Sanders as a radical Socialist. And with video of him out there self identifying as a Socialist, it will be a perception that is impossible to fight.

32. It's not impossible to fight.
They can shout "Socialist!" all day long, but anyone who dares to listen to him has a good chance of being persuaded.
You guys! Come on you guys! Just listen to Bernie! You guys!

34. You think so? Ask George Allen how easy it was to fight "Macaca" with video of him saying it.
And he just said it once.
There are multiple instances of Sanders self-identifying as a Socialist on video.

37. There are far more where he explains what a Democratic Socialist is,
and it's a platform most people believe in already.
Frantic, repeated scare tactics can backfire, especially if they're shallow enough to focus on one word.
And I promise you, the right wing WANTS to run against Clinton so they can give us their prepared Benghazi/email/Vince Foster/you-name-it attacks all day.
Might as well nominate the candidate with the best platform, who can dismantle all their arguments.

44. That won't matter. I'm surprised you need anyone to tell you this. Nt

45. I hope you read beyond my post title.
They're going to attack our candidate either way.
Clinton's positives are underwater. I don't need to tell you that matters.

The Big Guy (who is dying) has no problem with socialist Bernie.
An exchange on “Behind the sellout of the struggle in Wisconsinâ€
By Jerry White
30 March 2011
The letter writer, Steven Dawes, is a shop steward from local 251 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) in Omaha, Nebraska.
Why go out of your way to make union leaders look bad? Do they make 300+ times more than their members like CEOs of most major US companies?
And to think unions and socialists used to be on the same page. I’ve always backed socialism.
Steven L Dawes
Too bad he's in Nebraska, where a moonbat's vote is less than worthless.
And, unless he's been lying, he'll be dead before the election anyway.

Currently Bernie's message is resonating with the gimmie dats. They want more free stuff. So he will get around 40-45 percent of the vote on that alone. Trump's message is resonating with the people that are paying for the gimmie dats. That will be around 40-45 percent of the vote. The people that will decide the election are those that have other issues they care about. What those issues are, is the big question.
