No, GOP, It's Not Us; It's You:
Oh, boo, oh, hoo, the whiny bitches of the Republican party are weeping
like desperate middle-aged closet queens who badly want to get
ass-fucked by one of the ripped leather dudes in lower Chelsea but
suppress it so much that they mix sadness, rage, and unfulfilled sexual
urges into a miasma of tears and snot and gasping sobs of self-loathing.
Which, of course, brings us to South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
Regarding Mitt Romney's sinking chances of winning the election, Graham told reporters yesterday (and you should imagine Paul Lynde playing a Confederate general in a sketch on The Dinah Shore Show
speaking this), "There's a reason no president has ever been reelected
with an economy like this...It would tell me that it's more of a
demographic race for president than it is a performance-based race. And
that may be where we're at as a nation, and maybe where we are as a
party, and we just don't know it."
So, according to Graham, the problem is there's too many non-white
people voting. No, that's not an extreme interpretation. Graham himself said
in August, "The demographics race we’re losing badly. We’re not
generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long
term." But now Graham has taken it to another level; it's a polite way
of saying, "The stupid niggers and spics are fucking up this nice
country for the rest of us. And they're gonna reelect that nigger
president."
Unlike Graham, other
Republicans know that the problem ain't just demographics. Sure, that's
always an issue, but you don't see Democrats saying, "Shit, if there
were fewer white people, we'd be golden." You don't see them trying to
actively suppress white people from voting. "Demographics" as an excuse
is just so much self-pity. If you haven't cottoned to the fact that
there's less white people as a percentage of the voting population, then
you are a stegosaurus with one foot in the tar pit.
What other Republicans understand is that the problem is that they
nominated an unlikeable jack-off who has all the compassion of a sack of
shit, who is an awful candidate, who can't reasonably explain his
plans, who constantly says things that demonstrate he gives less of a
fuck about the average person than he does his manicure. Mitt Romney is
losing because he's Mitt Romney, and even NASCAR fans see that.
Another way to look at this is that maybe people aren't as stupid as
Republicans need them to be. Oh, sure, most of the population is a
fickle bunch of assholes who are exactly as dumb as you think they are.
But you don't have to be a New Yorker-reading dilettante to get
that Republicans are a craven bunch of motherfuckers who are either
trying to protect the rich or enforce their Christian extremist
morality. You don't need to have a Rachel Maddow poster on your bedroom
wall to get that it's Republicans who have blocked nearly everything the
President and Democrats have tried to do for three years. You don't
have to get Media Matters updates on Twitter to get that Mitt Romney's calculated emptiness is frightening.
So, hey, Lindsey Graham, no need to get down with the darkies. You'd just look pathetic doing so. No, what the Republicans need
to do is take a long look in the mirror and say, "Wow, we really are
unmitigated dickheads." Or you need to admit, "Yeah, we are simply the
party of the greedy and the crazy, and we don't know how to change that.
Time to give up."
It's the first step back to some self-respect. Or you could just keep
blaming those different than you. It's worked before for you guys
