The election results this November will be horrifying.

38. instantly changed their minds on the issues so as to suit their politics

That is it in a nutshell ...

Clinton balanced the budget and in the 2000 election they actually ran on how horrible it was to have a balance budget or surplus because you can't trust government - they will use it to buy up everything. That was part of what Bush II ran on.

Now, of course, the world is coming to an end because of the deficit they are pretty much solely responsible for.

In the mid/late 90s when Clinton was saying Islamic fundamentalists were a threat, the Rs screamed WAG THE DOG and said he was just trying to scare people for political reasons.

Bush didn't take them seriously, and let 9-11 happen. They, of course, blamed Clinton and spent a half decade using 9-11 for political advantage.

They scream FOREVER about small government and keeping government out of our lives - they castigated anyone who would not support the most intrusive piece of legislation in our lives, the Patriot Act, as appeasing the enemy - wtf that is/was.

During that time, you COULD NOT criticize the Commander in Chief when troops were in the field!

That shit of course, ended in January of 2009.

There is about 40% of the country that will follow the republican party over whatever cliff it tells them, and they will eat shit and demand everyone else eats it with them if the republican party tells them to.
