IrishAyes's JournalAnd I want to take this opportunity
... to publicly praise my favorite voter last election: the expectant mother who stayed waiting in line even though her water broke, because nothing on earth or in hell was about to stop her from voting. We need millions more just like her.
We will not sit idly by
At least not the Yellow Dogs. We will hound them to the gates of hell and beyond if that's what it takes.
But I do agree about dumping the DINOs.
Personally, I salivate over the idea of a Clinton-Castro ticket or maybe Clinton-Cuomo. It still grieves me that Mario Cuomo refused to run. I guess he had a good reason, but he still would've made one of the greatest presidents imaginable.
Hate to admit it
But so far I like your party name suggestion best.
It will take awhile to train my tongue to pronounce it, but I'm willing to put in the effort.
Teahadist Talibangelists..... Teahadist Talibangelists.... Teahadist Talibangelists....
See, I'm hard at work already.
Here's a party slogan for them, which I'm sure they'd like:
"Jesus said to kill you, and I'm here to do it; all in His holy name, of course."
or, they could shorten it to:
"Die, infidels!" That would be easier for them to remember.
Eckhart was great, wasn't he?
Second only perhaps to Niehbur, whose last name I can NEVER spell right and who is reportedly one of President Obama's favorites. And mine. But then I have a long list of equal favorites.
I like those suggestions
But please allow me to propose my own favorite, which they might actually even adopt: the GodParty.
American Taliban suits them better, but they probably won't go for it. Sounds too foreign.
I say we all promise to flood Mikey's gates with pleas for him to run, run, run as fast as possible. Promise to vote for him instead of those pinhead godless other conservatives. Considering the accuracy of your first new party name suggestion, FreshWest, I think they'd fall for it.
WHO'S WITH ME? LET'S ALL WRITE MIKEY!
I'll send Mikey my lunch money!
Dear President Obama:
As usual I'd planned to dig deep to support my beloved party. But now it appears the money might serve a greater purpose if I donated it all to Mikey and begged him to start his GodParty right away and split the GOP to everlasting hell where they belong.
You're a smart man and a long range thinker. Surely you'll see that I'm right.
Regretfully but always yours,
Her Irishness
PS: As noted in the past, I retired for financial purposes only deep in the heart of the Bible Belt a.k.a. RedNeckLand. At Sunday School 2 weeks ago, all the fundies (yes, even in the UMC) had their shorts twisted, blabbering about how you would send predator drones to bomb the homes of Americans of Middle Eastern descent, right here in the US!
Of course they don't really care about such people; they just figure when you dispose of all the Muslims (even though they still believe you ARE a Kenyan Muslim yourself) that all the Republican white folks will be your next bombing target. It has something to do with that race war they claim you want to stir up.
Say it ain't so, Mr. President, sir!
There have been third party candidates before
And look where it got them - nowhere. Not even Teddy Roosevelt at the height of his popularity could win. I'd offer to serve them myself for my own ulterior motives if I could count on a major GOP split. It would make me sick to my stomach and the stench would never wear off - but there's precious little I would turn my nose up for if it kicked those scumbags to the curb.
I'm sure
We can count on all the help Elvis and Festus can give us. Lordy, did I ever love Festus. Didja know he actually had a fine operatic voice?
When it comes to that, I wouldn't mind striking a figurative match under Mikey's heels myself to speed him on. You know he'd really love to be the GodParty presidential candidate in 2016. As if he had the ghost of a chance against Hillary!
