ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

43. Yep. There are some who are paying attention

Maybe it's the Republican wake-up call.
It's like being in a cult & not recognizing it until something really strange takes place.
Then you are forced to step back a little bit & once you do you start seeing more strange stuff you once saw as normal.

While the Democratic Party has some problems (hopefully fixable after 2012), the Republican Party has become a reckless, mean-spirited, war-mongering, greedy, bigoted political organization.
It appeals to the worst in human beings.
I'm amazed at its staying power & amazed that the general direction of social/economic justice (supposedly represented in the Democratic Party) has not fully been embraced.

Give it up to those Republican think-tankers.
They found out that Meanness works.
It's easier to be cruel & heartless than it is to be kind & caring.
All human beings are born selfish after all.
You have to be TAUGHT to respect boundaries.

So the pain pretty much has to hit them & theirs before they have a chance to have the wake-up call.
But once they do they can begin to see the problems in the Republican Party.
And maybe they start making the transition AWAY from that party.
