Oh, cry me a river, boys.

I actually do feel bad for them. The Republican party keeps making them promises and keeps failing to carry through on them. While I find the idea of pro-life legislation or marriage-protection laws repulsive, if you promise me these things maybe you ought to deliver. And, by the same token, if you aren't going to make any move on those items, take 'em off your agenda so that those of us who are sane don't want those things can consider voting for you...

LOL! Poor dears, they're just now catching on, are they? My favorite line from the article:

The main cause of conservatives' anger with Bush is this: He talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative.

Which would be just as accurate if it said: "He talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative."

I myself wondered what the author thought he governed like, because it sure as hell wasn't a liberal.

I rather hope this means the lot of them will go vote for some whacko from The Constitution (sic) party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution_Party) instead. Let *them* have the Nader effect for once.

Jesus M. Cohan. "Oh dear! We put shit in the cake batter, and now the cake tastes like shit! We've been betrayed!"

Those scales are falling from those eyes some six years too late. Is there any big differnce between ideological blindness and childish naivete? Or, in the extreme cases, acute brain-stem damage?

Something about that piece triggered by spidey sense. It didn't read so much as a considered analysis as a bit of pamphleteering that ordinarily would include paragraphs written in capital letters. I wondered what was really driving it, then I noticed the author's email address at the bottom. What is "conservativesbetrayed.com" all about? Has Mr. Viguerie created a good blog or forum with a bold, newfound sense of political honesty, integrity, and even-handedness from the Right? Nah, just...

Welcome to this new website for my timely new book!

The manuscript for Conservatives Betrayed is in the process of being edited, printed, and published.... I’d like to give you the opportunity to buy Conservatives Betrayed as soon as it is off the press....

Neat. Will the Washington Post give me a page to promote my book too? It has politics in it.

*applause*

I especially liked the shit in the cake batter analogy.

It's about time. We've been sad for years.
