The extreme gullability of the GOP
Feb 21, 2008 Ron Paul, politics
This election year is very amusing to me. Not the Chucky Cheese kind of amusing, but the kind of cold sweat, nervous, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” kind of amusing.
What is it that amuses me so?
That the Republican party, of which I have called myself a member for the few short years I have been old enough to vote or care, is already crumbling before my eyes – and I haven’t even gotten to vote for a real Republican yet (but I will in March!).
That Republicans, despite all evidence to the contrary, think that John McCain is a conservative. Maybe all of his “straight talk” managed to convince some of the extremely gullible? Skip straight to the lobotomy part of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. How anyone could consider John McCain a conservative is well beyond me. McCain-Feingold. Keating five. Divorcing his disabled wife after Vietnam for a 25 year old trophy wife. How about being considered the perfect running mate for John Kerry in 2004? How about Juan Hernandez, the “Mexico First” former Mexican national, Vicente Fox cabinet member, and now John McCain’s Hispanic Outreach Director? What about McCain’s overtly racist “gooks” comments? The list goes on and on but I’m burning too much coal as it is.
John McCain’s success is either because Republicans have been tricked into believing him, or a large portion of the party are moderate-to-liberal. I’m actually going to go for a little bit of both.
My prediction? The media is a coiled snake, waiting to strike. If McCain gets the Republican nomination, the media is going to lay into him like a kid with a whiffle bat and a candy stuffed pinata. Either democrat will be able to beat him.
On March 4th, I’m still going to vote for the strict constitutionalist who managed to stay married (happily) to his wife for 51 years.
