Fracture

A valued reader emailed the following to me, which I'm delighted to have permission to reprint in full:

I love Huckabee! He's throwing down the gaunlet to the republiscum bigtime. LordyLordyLordy, FINALLY!!!!!

"They were more than happy for us to come to the rallies and stand in lines for hours to cheer on the candidates, appreciated us putting up the yard signs, going out and putting out the cards on peoples doors and making phone calls to the phone banks and — really appreciated all of our votes. But when they got elected, behind closed doors, they would laugh at us and speak with scorn and derision that we were, as one article I think once said "the easily led." So there's been almost this sort of, it's okay if you guys get a seat on the bus, but don't ever think about telling us where the bus is going to go."

Finally, the complete horseshit that is the Republican party is going to face the music. Dimwit evangelicals finally realize that 28 yrs of votes has gotten them nothing, and dimwit libertarians finally realize that 28 years of votes have gotten them bigger gov't, more gov't intrustion, and criminalization of just about everything.

This is shaping up as a perfect storm for the republican corporate crime syndicate -- there's a real possibility that they might split into three pieces in the next 12 months. (The only one who can reunite them, alas, is Hillary.)

As the old saying goes, "Amen to all that."
