¡Viva los Republicanos!

To quote myself, the RINO fantasy
is a world where pasty-faced blancos rule over a land of socially conservative brown people who enjoy authoritarian rule. The fact that California turned into la dictadura perfecta, to borrow Mario Vargas Llosa‘ description of the Mexican ruling party, never comes up. Maybe in addition to learning Spanish, the Jeb Bush GOP has some other transformation in mind. | The Z Blog

Your Say

This election more than any other was won by people like us voting negative.
We didn't, did not want the incumbents to remain in office so we made choices that were not positive ones.
We didn't care what the pol's record was or if he had some little secrets and shortcomings, all we knew was that he was not a Democrat.
Perhaps that strategy will be the prevailing one in future elections.
Instead of "I am this and I promise that" we'll see "I'm not this and I will not that".

And ultimately we will get the government that we deserve.

Because of the idiotic actions of morons I get the gov't I never asked for nor deserved, so I just try to keep a lot of distance between myself and the programmed servants in it's employ and the massive amount of enablers.

I think Jeb is married to a, how do you say it?, spanish wife.

No doubt that last sentence sparked all kinds of micro aggressions. good, I hope they all implode.

On this blog, in 2012, I made a spirited case for holding our noses and voting for Romney. Gerard was kind enough to highlight it in the left column.

I will not do the same for Jeb Bush.

This is like the weather. Everyone talks about it; no one does anything about it.

Form the third party. An umbrella party just like the Jackasses do. Get a primary and a line on the ballot in the general election. Then vote for the candidate.

Some Donkeys will come over, more GOP'ers will. Conservatives will in smaller numbers until they figure out they can't win unless they get with the program.

Forget the Social Conservatives. If they don't get exactly what they want, they'll stay home. Leave them out. Either they learn or are forever losers.

It will take time and the GOP will battle this all the way. It is their death song.
