| 58. this whole string is bizarre ... |
|
People are conflating the fact that the party has been completely consumed by wild eyed heartless, hypocrital scumbags and the overall strength of the party ...
This "dead" party IS going to pick up a good number of seats in both chambers in November ...
Does it stand for anything other than tax cuts for the wealthy?
of course not ...
But, that does not mean that it does not coopt 50% give or take of the people who go to the voting boothes in every election ...
They may not be "unified" or stand for anything substantive, but given the choice between a christian hatin, gun taking, homo loving unamerican liberal, those so called "indepenents" who don't have the sand to call themselves Rs are going to vote R EVERY time ...
The party is FAR from dead ...
FAR from it ...
