Republicans: Still Scumbags.
A few months ago I made a prediction. I was listening to Rush Limbaugh–yes, you read that right; it’s good to know what the enemy is thinking–railing against John McCain. Rush didn’t like him back in 2000, and he sure as hell doesn’t like him now. I know he’s not a sucker. Hell would freeze over, the Cubs would win the World Series, and the dollar would be outpaced by the peso before Rush would vote for anyone but the Republican nominee. But Rush didn’t like him, so all his listeners didn’t like him. That’s the way it works.
I knew my prediction would come to pass when I heard Ann Coulter saying she was going to campaign for Hillary Clinton after John McCain became the front-runner. This was not the typical Ann Coulter brand of insane batshittery we’re all used to. This, like Rush’s continuous badmouthing (which he lies about by denying later), is calculated.
The four-state primary happens yesterday. Clinton, who had lost 11 states in a row and is doing poorly in numerous polls suddenly beats Barack Obama in 3 of the 4 contested states, overcoming all statistical probability to help narrow the gap between them.
My prediction? Republicans, having found their nominee, would vote in the Democratic primaries to sabotage the results by choosing someone they thought they could beat: Hillary Clinton. Turns out I was right. They’re even bragging about it.
This is not a new tactic. The Republicans whine,”but they came over to sabotage our primaries by voting for McCain!” I don’t know about you, reader, but this makes Republicans seem very, very stupid. This democratic primary is one of the most hotly contested ever. One part of us desperately wants Obama. The other desperately wants Clinton. Not a single Democrat who has a serious stake in this election has wasted it on John McCain, unless their horse dropped out of the race. That, Mr. Limbaugh, is indeed “subverting democracy.”
What we arrive at is this: Republicans know they’re going to lose this election. They know they deserve to lose this election. Yet still they feel the need to continue ruining America. How do they sleep at night?
If Clinton were any kind of patriot, she’d drop from the race this very instant… she hasn’t? Color me unsurprised.
Reader, do your country a favor and punch a Republican today. Make them have to use the gouging, crooked private health insurance industry they’re so adamant about keeping.
