Deliver a spanking
By Colin McNickle

I am your typical Republican "supervoter." That doesn't mean I have voted a straight ticket at the myriad outposts in three states in which I've watered my horse over the last 31 years. But it does mean I'm a reliably regular voter who's voted primarily for GOP candidates.

With the possibility of a missed primary in the early 1980s, I've voted in nearly every election since 1976. I was 17 when I cast my first ballot -- in Ohio, for Gerald Ford -- in that year's primary. Buckeye State election law allowed those under 18 to vote if they came of age by the November election.

But I'm seriously considering ending that streak this Nov. 7. Whether it's not going to polls at all or going, signing in but not actually casting any votes, I've not yet decided.

After heathen Methodism, Republicanism -- with a large "R" representing party and a small "r" representing philosophy -- is my second religion. I'm also a contrarian -- a conservative with libertarian leanings. Combine all these characteristics, then mix in the aggregate Republican record, allow the ire it has created to rise and bake it for a few years and here's what comes out of the oven:

A party base that's mad as hell and no longer willing to rationalize GOP failures. It's a base whose crust grows darker and thicker -- i.e., angrier -- when prominent conservatives and Republicans -- politicians, pundits, radio talk-show hosts and think tankers sensing impending electoral doom -- pop out of their pumpkins and upbraid the watered-on for complaining about being wet.

:rofl: :nopity:

1. Geez...after the things he has written...

I was hoping for more from him, like a nervous breakdown, perhaps.

3. Sounds like he's really f*cked up

of course, he didn't have a problem taking the big $$$ before ...

2. Pffft, wolf, sheep, skins, blah blah blah...

"I used to be a Republican, but now I'm a Libertarian" - What I've learned about Libertarians is that they're just neoconservatives who have found a new way to kill lots of poor brown people without using guns.

[blm]

4. BINGO! Great comments posted above yours, but this one is SO ACCURATE.

5. I thought Libertarians were Republicans who liked to smoke

pot and have (consentual) sex.

:shrug:

[calimary]

6. I always figured them to be republi-CONS who were ashamed to admit

it. So, rather than see the light and switch parties, they think they're solving the problem and easing their consciences by coming up with a new name to call themselves. Libertarians is the standard favorite. Now, the Big Giant Head and others use the term "traditionalists." And now THIS jerk comes up with "contrarian." How tidy!

Shelley Berman, the veteran comedian, once wrote a book called "Cleans and Dirties" - funny and ironic ways to word things. In that book there was also a separate category called a "Clirty," which was a cleaned-up dirty. Such chickenshit terms as "traditionalists" and "contrarians," and yes, sometimes "libertarians" too, are cleaned-up dirties. At least IMO.

7. Well, sure...

But that's just a cover for their frankly monstrous economic ideas. The idea is you're too busy getting stoned and having orgies that you don't notice your nation has reverted into a fuedal / corporatist society where you are property.

It's amazing how Libertarians work, too. Their platform is "You're all too stupid to know what sort of government you really want. Vote for me!"

8. Damn, he's a terrible writer

just fucking awful

[tigereye]

9. has hell truly frozen over?

:wow: :wtf:

or is self-immolation their new spin? ;)

[wisteria]

10. What a jerk. Dem's will regain power and do a better job then these

Republicans in power now. After the rubber stamp, Rove talking point Republicans,I have had to be subjected to, we Democrats can do very little a still do a better job.
