[quote=urbanrealtor]Good post.
John Stewart recently had a lot to say about how reactionary the GOP has gotten.
I believe Larry Wilmore actually referred to Reagan as a Homo-loving Hollywood type or something.
It astounds me that the GOP choice is no-experience Cain, no-feasible-solutions Paul (though I truly respect his consistency), for-sale Perry, and change-my-view-with-each-poll Romney.
Dude.
That is a fucking grim field.
As a liberal, I honestly find myself yearning for the geriatrically sarcastic days of Bob Dole.[/quote]
Dan: Interestingly, the last time I voted GOP was 1996, during the Dole campaign for Prez.
I know that there is a huge element within the GOP that is getting sick and friggin’ tired of the nihilistic stance of the more reactionary subset (and it is a subset).
As far as Saint Ronald goes: Most of these assholes that run around touting his conservatism haven’t got a clue (or are ignoring) his ACTUAL record. I’ve had a couple of dustups with these born-again John Bircher GOP types and it’s amazing how utterly detached from objective reality they are.
