Rino Rove
How funny is it the Teabaggers are scoring victories in the Republican primaries? Think about it: the kook in Nevada, Sharron Angle, going up against Harry Reid for that Senate seat. This is the crazy woman advocating armed violence against the government — SHE WISHES TO BE A PART OF IN 2011! This is the woman who believes that to strengthen Social Security we need to get rid of it!She also believes that the government should interfere with you and your doctor, especially if you’re a woman: she’s against abortions for any reason because, and she says this with a straight face, “… I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives …” We really can’t make this shit up, it’s so damn real!
Yet another reason I oppose religion: the frightening fanatics could gain control.
Then there’s that kook in New York who won the Republican nomination for the governor’s office in that great state: Carl Paladino. He spouts Network real good! “I’m mad as Hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”
It’s not that he’s said one or two crazy things, like calling former governor (and fellow Republican) George Pataki a “degenerate idiot,” he’s just plain crazy every time he opens his mouth in this campaign.Add to them Joe Miller in Alaska, Sarah Palin’s choice to be a senator from that great state. He beat Lisa Murkowski, herself no slouch at being an ultra conservative, for the Republican primary. To get Palin’s endorsement, you have to endorse fantasy over reality and Miller has done that quite well. And Miller is another one who wants to get rid of Social Security and get the government involved in the decisions between you and your doctor.
Another Palin-endorsed candidate is the crazy Christine O’Donnell (no relation to MSNBC commentator Lawrence O’Donnell) who won the Republican primary for the senate seat in Delaware formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden. That seat was once considered a lock for Republicans because long-time Republican politician Mike Castle, once the governor of Delaware, was so popular even Democrats would vote for him.Now, Republican gadflies like Karl Rove are bemoaning the selection of a woman who has never really had a job — of any kind — has had her home foreclosed on, used campaign funds for personal business and failed to pay her campaign workers. Even O’Donnell’s former campaign manager did an ad opposing the anti-masturbation candidate.
O’Donnell used to be a regular on Bill Maher’s former ABC program, Politically Incorrect and actually admitted she “dabbled into Witchcraft.” Almost makes me like her!But, if Karl Rove calls you “nutty” and unelectable in a general election, well, that’s something for Republicans to consider. And of course they did … n’t. Immediately Rove was beset by people calling him a traitor and, from O’Donnell herself, a “cannibal.” Laura Ingraham actually called Rove a “RINO” — Republican In Name Only. Really! “Bush’s Brain,” the “turd blossom,” a Republican In Name Only! The political guru, who once predicted there will be a Republican dynasty controlling government for 100 years, not a true Conservative.
That’s what’s scary. Rove has been wrong before and now I’m hoping beyond mere faith Rove is right about this Tea Party crowd and their candidates for Congress: that they are (for the most part) unelectable. But people in places like Nevada are so tired of their long-time representatives, the Teabagger crowd presents a real danger to these United States.Hard to believe I’m hoping Karl Rove is right about something. Never say never I guess …
And, on a sad note, and I’m ashamed to admit it slipped my mind until today: Saturday, September 18 marked the 40th Anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, the greatest guitar player of all time. It’s sad what the addictions of alcohol and drugs have done to society in general and the arts in particular. His music will live forever.
