233. No they are not

from the referenced post:

"Instead we are simply presented with the choice of dying slowly or dying quickly as a country. Frankly I think that dying quickly might not be such a bad thing. Get it done, get it over with quickly so we can start on rebuilding. "

MH is saying we need to grow a pair and stand up for what we believe in. If that leads to things collapsing quickly rather than slowly, at least we have our principles in tact so we can use them to rebuild on. That's not at all the same as advocating for letting Republicans win. It's jut a statement that we need to be an alternative to evil, not a lessor evil, no matter what.

MH is right on, I absolutely agree, and the attempt to twist that post into someone who suppports Republicans is shameful. In fact, reality is the opposite of that. MH is refusing to support Republican policies no matter who is supporting them. That should be respected on this site, or we truly stand for nothing but a meaningless quest for power.
