So . . . the repubicants are wondering why they haven't been all that popular of late . . . .

. . . . and they seem to be in the middle of some sort of internal struggle. The hard right against the religious right against the center-right against the neocon right against the teabag right against . . . . you get the idea.

Well let's just do a 40,000 ft flyover view . . . . .

They cheated (everybody KNOWS they cheated) and got Barbara Bush's most moronic son in as president and he quickly abdicated and ceded power to the most evil man on earth, Darth Cheney. They promptly fell asleep at the switch, failed abjectly to protect us from a known terrorist on 9/11, lied us into two wars, crashed the economy, and gave the spoils to their pals. At the end of it, Idiot Son was pegged by all of the left, and many on the right, as The Worst President In History. In fact, he is so bad that even now no one mentions his name.

So, as followup, they run McCain. McCain, to prove to anyone who had a doubt, chose a fucking joke as his veep. Perhaps the most obviously UNQUALIFIED veep candidate in history was Lady Blah Blah.

But did you think they learned their lesson? Ha! Nope. As a followup they pick one of the most singularly out of touch, unlikeable slimeballs possible as their standard bearer. But as unlikeable as he was, his wife was even worse. We won't speak about his five perfumed princes. But as if that wasn't quite enough, they pick a liar. But not a liar who lies about important shit. A guy who lies about marathons and mountain climbing while posing in sweat socks and looking for all the world like an entitled frat boy jock.

So you see, for the last 13 years these fuckers have been trying with just plain disgusting people to win elections.

Oh sure, there are policy things and political failures. But geeze . . . . at least start with nice people.

Amazing.

The only way to climb the ladder in the GOP is to be a bigger asshole than the one next to you.
