The wing nuts on the right are always so much fun. With all the free advice they’ve been offering Obama lately, one could be tricked into believing they actually have a clue how to govern, but the moment that thought catches a foothold, reality comes crashing back with Katrina, Iraq and the economy. The overwhelming reality of this election is that a black man with a funny name won easily and handed the GOP their fat, white butts. How much worse could it get for these bible-thumping illiterates?
Enough Americans finally clued in that GOP talk is just that, without the walk. And many of the most bigoted, intolerant, and religiously insane Americans voted with their pocket books this time rather than with their prejudices. How many homes or jobs did they have to lose to wise up?
For those of us who have been going crazy and feeling helpless while suffering through the last eight years, revenge is indeed a dish best served cold. But the fun’s only beginning. The party of zero ideas, the party that has won elections by pushing hate and division, the party of lies, deceit and corruption has been dispatched to the political wilderness, which is exactly where they belong.
These smug Bush/Cheney apologists are now blindly running in circles with their shorts down around their ankles wondering what the hell happened to them. And while we could explain it, what would be the point? They’ll never listen anyway because the nucleus of the party believes they aren’t conservative enough, (read religious), and that someone like Sarah Palin is their god-send.
No way we’ll be that lucky come 2012, and they do have four years to develop an alternative candidate if things don’t go well for Obama. But other than Ginghrich, Romney and crew, the love affair between the GOP and the religiously insane will have to part ways before they can make any progress. In fact, many of the saner republicans are already making noises to this effect and turning in their bibles.
Meanwhile, sit back, kick up, and enjoy the implosion.
