I've pretty much exhausted all of my anger at Republicans

Officially, I'm not surprised at anything that they say anymore. They could call President Obama every racially stereotypical epithet in the book and it wouldn't shock me.

I don't expect them to be honest about their feelings over a black president, they lie about everything, including the things that they themselves say.

The entire Right Wing fringe is now a fucking cesspool where so-called mainstream Republicans go to bathe.

They have absolutely no shame about anything that they say or do and it's quite clear that the only motivation for this is that they know that they've lost their collective sanity and expect to pay dearly for it at the polls this November. What we're seeing is mass mitigation for the expected loss of support by the middle.

For the last two decades, I've heard Right Wingers say that the GOP's occasional defeats were the result of not being right wing enough, but now that is no longer the case. The party is now everything that the Wingers wanted them to be and the writing is on the wall that they're going to pay for their folly dearly.

So, there's no point in me aggravating myself over the meanderings of bigoted zealots and the party functionaries who felate them. These people have lost all sense of reality, they're only reflecting the nonsense that's circulating in their own narrowly defined echo chamber.

By throwing all sanity out of the window, it's clear that they feel as if they have nothing to gain from appearing reasonable, thus I expect them to be completely unreasonable and wholly irrational.

The jig is up for the GOP, people. There's no point in shock and amazement anymore, only action.

They are handing us the keys to their own destruction. Let us turn them.

1. k&r...

it's beyond reason

[JaneyVee]

2. They keep finding ways to reach a new low, just when you think you've seen it all.

[Blecht]

3. I reached this point a while ago

It's kind of a nirvana -- realizing there's nothing to be shocked about any more.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Me, too.

There are no words in the English language to describe the level of contempt I have for them. They make me rethink my opposition to firing squads.

4. I suggest free psychiatric therapy for all.

I woke up this morning with a whole new perspective.

After just finishing a book geared toward therapists, everything is clear now. Messed up parents raise messed up kids. Look at every Republican you see. Do they have repressed emotions? Are they messed up emotionally? Were they raised by messed up people?

This book was written in the 70's and yet so advanced. The very last page she goes all political. And it's totally revealing. It explains why these people need an external enemy. They are unconscious of the game they play as they continue to suppress their emotions in a kind of survival mode. It explains dictator behavior. It is a threat to democracy.

I need to add that once I realized this concept of adults playing out their infant behavior in order to please their parents, I began to lose my rage. Suddenly I realize that they truly are unconscious of what they're doing.

Also, I am beginning to see a solution. Everyone gets free therapy. Instead of making bombs, let's send people to counseling.

5. They can't sustain themselves anymore

Their party is in a shambles. I think that "normal" people are finally seeing how screwed up and downright dangerous they are. And if they haven't... well, they're part of the problem. I find it odd there are so many undecided voters this time around. WTF??

[CTyankee]

6. I am having more disturbing dreams than I used to have...

part of it is due to age and increasing uncertainty in financial viability. But even so, I am waking up to a feeling a DREAD, even tho I haven't had a nightmare...what is unknown in the future is worse in many ways because it is in the shadows...

We have done what we can to plan our financial future and at a certain point you have to say "OK, I'm done."

7. ...and my local news just told me that romney is tied with Obama.

[MrScorpio]

8. Nationally or locally?

What state are you in?

[spanone]

17. tennessee...my local nbc affiliate

[MrScorpio]

18. So the President is in play in Tennessee?

Sweet!

[spanone]

20. no, it was my local teevee reporting on the national scene..

this state is crimson

[MrScorpio]

21. Was this the local Fox station? nt

[gateley]

9. I disagree that they expect to pay dearly. I think they've convinced themselves

they'll prevail. Especially the newer crop of whacks.

[southernyankeebelle]

11. What really angers me is that Obama daughters have to hear all this bad stuff about their parents.

It's terrible.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. How could anyone be shocked? They have been like this for a generation or more

I was not into that whole bipartisan, let's all be centrists, whatever the right does we adjust to remain equidistant to them crap. I never thought they were our good friends or honest brokers, that was a whole fantasy for moderates and sensible centrists and the like.

[lovemydog]

13. Me too MrScorpio

It's a liberating feeling when you say this to yourself. Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend.

[October]

14. I want to agree, but they keep surprising me! Did you hear Ryan's latest?

He sees rape as just another "method of conception."

WTF?

My head may just explode.

And why on earth are the polls as close as they are???

I worry there are enough freaks in America who will vote for these morons.

[Curmudgeoness]

15. I am on slow boil, and can't get over it.

I agree with all that you say, but I can't get over my anger. I continue to get angrier and angrier with each passing day. One day I worry that this slow boil will become a pressure cooker with a broken vent. I wish I could let it go as you have. Good for you.

16. They cannot help themselves, the hate has eaten their last brain cell, only cobwebs now.

[6000eliot]

19. This campaign makes McCain/Palin look like a model of rationality.
