Too good to be true . . .
Twenty years from now, when the wrinkles in national health care have been ironed out and an entire generation of American citizens has grown accustomed to it and grown to admire it, when gay marriage is a fact of life in all but the most retrograde outposts across the nation, when we have finally managed to extricate ourselves from the calamity of multiple wars in central Asia, etc., etc., we are going to look back on the first couple of decades of the 21st Century as the Dark Ages of the Republican Party – a time when they sacrificed any allegiance to anything of substance, and pandered to the absolute worst in all of us, in exchange for the false hope of electoral victory. No political movement in American history has ever more richly deserved this than the current GOP. The zero vote by the Republicans in yesterday’s Senate vote on health care will be this generation’s legacy, to be added to the Party of No’s opposition to universal sufferage, Social Security, child labor laws, Civil Rights, Medicare, the creation of the SEC and the FDA, the Voting Rights Act, etc., etc., etc. Run, Sarah, run!
Brain dead.
