Well, when the self-styled true conservatives and the tubby bearded guys marching in 4th of July Parades with an AK slung over their back show me that they can do something other than f*(k up an anvil with a toothpick, we might have something to talk about. Sarah Palin was instrumental in electing Mark Begich (D-Alaska). Sarah Palin and Joe Miller and some Outside bunch of nuts almost cost another Republican seat and basically made Lisa Murkowski into a free agent; she damned well don’t owe the Party or the Tea Party anything and can do as she pleases. Nevada was ready for Anybody But Reid and a bunch of effin’ nuts served up the one person the gaming industry couldn’t abide. Maryland could have given us another Senate seat and a bunch of effin’ nuts served up another effin’ nut and gave the seat to an avowed Marxist.
If you’ll look at my history on various boards, I’m on the record with my problems with the Rotary Club Republicans. Hell, I could be sitting in a pretty cushy, or at least well-paying, appointment right now except when I saw that nobody had any stomach for what had to be done or for the kind of person who could do it, I ran as fast as I could and shouted back at them, “let me know how all that turns out.” That said, the answer isn’t the “repeal everything since TR crowd,” the American people really, really like most of that stuff and the people that don’t can only act as a brake unless you can get out there and get elected to Party office, form a party that can get on ballots, or get yourselves elected. The people you all so much want to hate are the people who’ve shown the ability to get 50% + 1 to vote for them; none of the people doing the complaining have ever done that. When you’ve gotten yourself elected or appointed to ANYTHING, let’s talk.
