Remember the film "The Illusionist"? You're now living it...

Lots o' pretty and weird things to look at; Christine "I am not a witch" O'Donnell, Sarah "Miss Alaska second runner-up" Palin, Michele "Corndog" Bachmann, Sharron "Batshit Crazy" Angle...while the real people get all their ducks in a row: winning the House, State Houses and Senates, governorships, school boards, Supreme Court decisions, gerrymandering, and God-knows-what else.

Folks, these people may lose a battle here and there, but they are winning the war. Want to "play nice", show pics of corn dogs going into "hot" babes' mouths, laugh about how stupid Bush is, whether Perry is gay or not, whether Mitt drove his car with dogs on the roof, make up (admittedly) funny definitions of what a Santorum is, laugh at Mitch Daniels' height, and other chortles? Go right ahead...the joke's on us. The Republican Establishment plays for keeps and takes no prisoners. The debate is not between liberal and conservative, the debate is between those who see things as they are and those who think/pretend that this is all a game. In the words of JD Salinger: No game.

Personally, I think we're ultimately screwed, but I for one will continue to fight on...because it is a cause worth fighting for, no matter how (fill in the blank), it happens to be.

I'm just so worn out and depressed...

1. The saving grace here is that political and news junkies like we of

DU are the only ones engaged in the nuts and bolts of these things. The majority of the electorate does not want to even discuss politics/elections at this early date. When "Jersey Shore" tv ratings beat the republican debate you know (1) there is little/no interest in republicans at all and (2) more than once, including my grown sons, it's too early to waste time on that $^%#. Half the electorate are not even aware who or what a Rick Perry is or that Ron Paul came in second in the straw poll. I doubt that will not change until after the first of the year, if then.
