Would you date a conservative?

51. Exactly how I feel about it--These Are Not Your Mama's Republicons

I can believe there once was a time when Republicons were just conservative, tight-fisted, overly pragmatic people--but generally polite and civilized and willing to work with Democrats from time to time. In other words, that they played fair. That they weren't hell bent on stealing it ALL.

But, NO more. Anyone who aligns with the Republican party of today and cheerfully votes for Bombney is just plain stupid, or worse --delusional, uninformed, selfish and mean-spirited. Extremely limited, closed-minded thinkers. Not the kind of people I want to have much of any relationship with--not even friendship. Dating would be impossible. At best I can pity (a tiny violin) the ones who are not directly wreaking havoc.

Being a Liberal today means being smarter, wiser, fairly generous--and above all, a decent human being.
