I grew up in a profoundly Republican home, so I can remember when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You’ve lost me and you’ve lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is important to democracy, I’d like to give you some advice and an invitation.”

Which is why you decided to gather shitloads of links to mostly ultra-left radical sources full of untruths, words taken out of context, demagoguery, gossip, and outright lies?

“First, the invitation: Come back to us.”

Who the fuck is us? There’s you and Mike…anyone else?

“Now the advice. You’re going to have to come up with a platform that isn’t built on a foundation of cowardice: fear of people with colors, religions, cultures and sex lives that differ from your own; fear of reform in banking, health care, energy; fantasy fears of America being transformed into an Islamic nation, into social/commun/fasc-ism, into a disarmed populace put in internment camps; and more. But you have work to do even before you take on that task.”

In other words, the Republicans should act as if Obama had not listened to hate speech of racist loon for 20 years; there was no Islamic terrorism; 9/11 never happened; all cultures, including the most barbaric ones, were equal to the American way of life; government regulations were not always plagued by the “quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” syndrome; socialized health care worked; “green jobs” were not a total delusion; large parts of the country were not getting irreversibly transformed in terms of demographic; liberty was not under constant thread from tyranny (apparently, the founding fathers were part of the same platform build on fear and cowardice); right to carry arm was not guaranteed by the Constitution.

“Your party — the GOP — and the conservative end of the American political spectrum have become irresponsible and irrational.”

When exactly was it that the conservatives and the GOP were responsible and rational according to you, Russel?

“Oh, and I’m not alone: One of your most respected and decorated leaders agrees with me.”

“One of your most respected and decorated leaders” is the guy who made a total ass of himself before the entire world when he presented the UN assembly with a bunch of photoshoped images as a proof of the existence of WMDs in Iraq. The guy who latter turned his back on his own party when it needed him the most and endorsed a “brother” for the president.

“So, dear conservatives, get to work. Drain the swamp of the conspiracy nuts, the bald-faced liars undeterred by demonstrable facts, the overt hypocrisy and the hatred. Then offer us a calm, responsible, grownup agenda based on your values and your vision for America. We may or may not agree with your values and vision, but we’ll certainly welcome you back to the American mainstream with open arms. We need you.”

Again, who the fuck are “we”? Speak for yourself!

Dem or Rep. If they have an “I” by their name on the ballot, I say vote for the other guy. Preferably a libertarian or Independent.
