RNC Day 3: Thank You, Ted

Things have been really heating up inside Mount Doom on the Cuyahoga.

We can thank "Lyin' Ted" Cruz for most of those BTUs.

Cruz is one the worst of the fundamentalist tea-bagging Republicans to come along. Despite being unlikable in every way, the guy has a Nixonian calculating sense of strategy and purpose. 

Too bad his purpose is to create a corporatist theocracy.

Lyin' Ted seized his moment, and drew boos and howls from agitated Trumpies at the convention, only after failing to endorse their anointed One Who Will “Make America Great Again” ™.

We all know how a rabid gang of authoritarian personalities react to those who fail to fall in line. It is ugly. He was even compared to Hillary! How’s THAT for pure hate?

One can almost sympathize and admire Teddy boy. For good reason, he resents Trump, not only as being one who is not a “true conservative”, but as a vile brute who smeared his wife and father.

Poor Ted. He’s been made an example of the new lows Republicans now embrace in their Jihad against decency, democracy, and government of, by and for the people.

Trump has been busy terrifying the world, brandishing his unstable personality while leading his legions of fanatic followers. As his VP Pence talked about commitments to friendly nations, Don the Con announced he wouldn’t be in any hurry to meet our NATO treaty obligations in case of conflict.  

Having it both ways is what he’s always been about.

But Pence is now to be the Trump appointed President of domestic and foreign policy, if we are to believe the Kasich people. Asked what Donald will be doing, his toady replied, “He will make America Great Again” ™.

How’s that for before-the-fact dereliction of duty? He’s not only Sarah Palin’s twin in being grossly uninformed, he’s also planning on being the next “Quitter in Chief”.

I guess the Trump Constitution allows all powers to be ceded to the VP, just like Cheney had assumed from a previous clueless neo-Aristocrat allowed into the White House.

Trump will appoint “Unbelievably good people” to make America great again. Trust him.

Gotta love America the Ignorant.

But what I find most savory is Ted’s words that rankled the rubes more than anything else. “Vote your conscience”.

“What conscience?” one may reasonably inquire. He’s talking to fanatic far Right Republicans, after all. Authoritarians value obedience and conformity, not conscience, and never dissent. That’s for sissy liberals, not Real Americans ™.

Once again Democrats have been handed the perfect weapon to use for their campaign. I doubt they will run with it though. They’re arrogant, and too smart by half, which isn’t too smart.

Democrats should appropriate “Vote your conscience” for Hillary’s campaign slogan. What could be more bi-partisan, and appeal to more people?


They could even thank Ted for the perfect gift. He’d just LOVE that.

Thanks DNC for the Philadelphia Clown Convention starting today and lasting all week!

Kulkuri,

I'm not so sure I can get away with these words in public when Trump's "New Order of Greater America" sets his goons loose in the streets.

Hi, Arch!

Nice to see you have a sense of humor.

Like the fictional low information, conservative that liberal writers created, you hold character, and pretend to misunderstand the meaning of "eating crow".

Classic comedy schtick.

Thanks for kindly returning the lol!

RCP Poll Average Clinton 44.7 Trump 45.6

Trump is ahead!

Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

PS - I'm just trying to give this dead marxist blog some life.

Thank You BaCrock Obama:

BaCrock Obama 2008:
"Hillary Clinton will say anthing and change nothing."

Dave Dubya said...

Well, there you go Chuck, er, I mean, Arch.

Nothing to worry about. Hillary won't change anything. She will continue the neo-con and neo-liberal agenda. Just like a Republican.

And thank you David Brooks:

"This week I left the arena here each night burning with indignation at Mike Pence. I almost don’t blame Trump. He is a morally untethered, spiritually vacuous man who appears haunted by multiple personality disorders. It is the “sane” and “reasonable” Republicans who deserve the shame — the ones who stood silently by, or worse, while Donald Trump gave away their party’s sacred inheritance."

And thank you Andrew Sullivan:

"It is almost as if governing, for the Republican right, is fundamentally about an attitude, rather than about experience or practicality or reasoning. The degeneracy of conservatism – its descent into literally mindless appeals to tribalism and fear and hatred – was on full display."
