We need to break this fucker across our knee. But good.

Wow.

If there are history books in the future should this prick win - if there is anyone left to write them, and any infrastructure left to print them - they will begin with Mitt Romney at the 2012 convention saying,"President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans." He paused, with a shit-eating smirk on his face, before continuing with, "and to heal the planet."

The groans, shouts, and yowls of contempt were palpable, even in the polite NBC speakers.

"My promise," said The Candidate, "is to help you and your family."

So much for the global crisis staring us in the face.

Thanks, Mitt. You remind me of an old poem. How does it go?

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair"'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.


Fuck him.

Let's get this done.

But his party has to be broken more so than the man.

It's not just that their views are archaic, but, they are borderline 1930's Germany fanatical.

If the party isn't broken this year, they will be a threat in 2016. All we will have done is delay a huge national disaster.

If he were powerful enough to make the oceans rise, he'd also be powerful enough to make them lower. He'd be powerful enough to be world emperor and do away with the whole election thing. They're saying some batshit crazy things.

Routed.

Humiliated.

Destroyed.

We must not merely defeat the GOP this year, but we must crush them so completely that they can never recover in their present form.

The GOP is the most sick, twisted, bigoted, jingoistic, sadistic, cruel, willfully ignorant, delusional and psychopathic that it has EVER been. They've outdone the Bush years, they've outdone the Reagan years, they've outdone Nixon and they've outdone Roaring 20s of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and Teapot Dome that helped lead us to the Great Depression. This is the most ugly and evil that I've ever seen them. EVER!

I'd venture so far as to say that you'd have to go all the way back to the mid 19th century, to the lead-up to the Civil War, to the Democrats of that time (remember, the Republicans and the Democrats switched places in the early 20th century - the Democrats were the pro-slavery racist bastards who were pulling a Tea Party and grinding the country's business to a halt, and the Republicans were trying to be reasonable).

That's how bad they are.

And that's why we must not merely win, we must utterly destroy the GOP.

We must make it clear that the Southern Strategy must die. We must make it clear that demagoguery, bigotry, mendacity, corruption, greed, class warfare, religious fanatacism and jingoism cannot win more than the lunatics in their base, and cannot gain enough support to assume power. We must make it clear that if they take the road they are taking today, they will not survive as a party.

We must wage absolute, total war on the Republicans.

We must abandon notions of bipartisanship and civility when dealing with the GOP. The Republicans are psychopaths. They WILL NOT work with us. Any attempts of negotiation and deal-making with the GOP will end with knives in our backs. They are ALWAYS looking for creative new ways to fuck us.

We must be absolutely ruthless, and completely merciless. We cannot afford to be nice. Those times are over. We strike hard, and put every ounce of energy we have into destroying our enemies, or we will be destroyed.

We must be vicious. We must treat this contest as a fight for the soul of America. We must win this war, or we could lose what America is supposed to stand for: freedom, equality, decency. America is this >< close to being as weak as the Weimar Republic, and if we can't find the strength to win this power struggle, this country will endure a dark age lasting decades, maybe centuries.

I'm going to vote a straight Democratic ballot. I'm not going to have a stroke over it if RnR win it, which they might. Between the Koch money buying plenty of air time for their lies, dubious Deibold voting machines and photo ID voter suppression I think I may have thrown away $50 bucks. I'll adapt if I have to.

Abandoning civility and using violent language will lead to defeat. Nothing's to be gained by acting hysterical.
