Reply #270: We Are Not Dealing With Liberal Republicans, For Fuck's Sake

[GiovanniC]

We are dealing with extreme right-wingers.

If the Republicans say, "We hate gays so much, we're gonna round them up, tie them to the back bumper of a truck, and drive them across South Dakota and then set them on fire!", then they aren't going to win any support among gays, but Cletus and Bubba will beat a path to the polls.

If the Democrats respond by saying, "Oh yeah? Well, we hate gays so much that we're going to call them names and punch them in the stomach!", then they aren't going to get support among gays either, and Cletus and Bubba are already punching the Republican ballot because the Republicans hate people better than we do.

What is next? If our next Democratic presidential candidate stands up and says, "Look, I hate gays, I am against women's rights, fuck black people, fuck hispanics, evolution is just a theory so it's not real, poor people can go to hell, let's nuke any country that looks at us funny, people should not be able to sue for malpractice, tax cuts for the rich, our grandchildren can pay for the deficits, to hell with Social Security, fuck Medicare, fuck all welfare, people who are unemployed are just too lazy to hold down a job, the best way to fight global terrorism is to piss off the globe, diplomacy is for sissies, fuck this Constitution bullshit, the environment was made to be raped by mankind, and Christianity is now our national religion!" then he would come pretty close to EQUALLING a Republican, but not being able to out-Republican the Republican candidate. And Cletus and Bubba would vote for the other guy even though they have the same positions, because the other guy has a little (R) next to his name.
