Of All The Republicans In All The Land ...

Like Freddy Krueger who we just can't get to go away ...

"I’m reminded yet again about why I plugged my nose when I voted for John McCain in 2008."

If I remember right, GOP leaders were telling us in 2008 that, despite the fact that he was too often more of a Democrat than a Republican, he was the "electable" Republican.

So much for that bit of wisdom.

Another reason to stop listening to GOP leaders and start listening to Tea Party leaders.

As an I-Told-You-So, I'd like to remind the geniuses at GOP HQ (and all those who participated in the 2008 Republican primaries around the country) of a slogan that I adopted early on in 2008:

"I'd rather open a vein than vote for McCain."

A sizable majority of America, as it turned out, agreed with me. 

If only they'd had gonads.

2008 was the year media influence peaked. The legacy media managed to convince just enough of the electorate that John McCain was a "Republican" and Buraq Obama was an "American."

Look at what we got.
