...true conservatives will vote for Obama! What? Don't snicker!
It's perfectly logical!
Ask Andrew Sullivan! Or are you one of those sellout
Republicans who doesn't want to use Obama to "punish their own
party for its abandonment of conservatism, embrace of dumb
authoritarianism abroad and spendthrift liberalism at home"?
Look, Andrew, the Republicans we have running are bad enough,
okay? I already feel like I'm being punished. Why I would want to
compound that pain by voting for a kneejerk liberal who is going to
spend the next four years lecturing me on the never-ending list of
virtues he attributes to himself--before going ahead and injecting
the government into ever further reaches of my life for my own good
anyway? I mean, if I wanted a preening, pious megalomaniac I'd just
vote for that Baptist guy who stays at the Holiday Inn Express.
My other quibbles with Sullivan's fawning Obama piece in The
Atlantic live here.
