A game where you can give Hillary Clinton a slap in the face?!? And it's being aggressively promoted by the republican party on their web site?!? I'm tellin' ya, you guys down at the RNC; why you guys are just completely HAR-LARE-E-US with a capital HAR! You really are. I'm serious, my hat's really off to you. You have to remember, this is from the same folks who snicker when the word Feminazi is used. Well, at least when some people say it. You know, it's kind of like when a bunch of 9 year old boys get together at recess and say the word poop to crack each other up. You know! republican high humor. Their own particular version of humor to be sure. I think you will notice the remarkable similarities it has to the dry wit of Noël Coward.
Now on the surface, this whole thing looks like some sort of ad hominem attack on Ms. Clinton, YET AGAIN. Even more so in light of her supposed front runner status for the upcoming 2016 election cycle. (Is Mr. Obama's second term's over already? I hadn't noticed. My how time flies.) I contend that they couldn't possibly be that incredibly stupid. So out and out moronic as to insult a politician who's proven to be quite popular with most women. Well, at least with the exception of those already in the republican Party, and that would certainly fall under the category of preaching to the choir now wouldn't it.
"Holy cutting off your nose to spite your face Batman! Why that would be just plain idiotic wouldn't it?!?"
"Why yes Robin. Yes it would. Unless..."
Unless indeed Batman! This simply reeks of an elaborate conspiracy just dripping in intrigue. And I'll just bet my last dollar that it has Reince Priebus' fingerprints all over it. This smacks of a master plan so labyrinthian as to put Mr. Machiavelli to shame. I'm not kidding here folks. If I'm right, we're looking right down the barrel of a plan so genius in its inception, so absolutely, diabolically clever that none but a small cabal of RNC insiders will see it as anything more than another typical example of the republicans undertaking yet another vapid exercise in self gratification, thus, lulling the enemy, (in this case us,) into a false sense of security. Secure until it's too late, and then BAMM!! the trap is sprung and it's too late for us poor Democrats! Outsmarted once again by those wily republicans !
Oh they're a clever bunch alright, but not quite clever enough. To quote Bush 43, "To be fore warned is to have four arms." And who could argue with the pure geometric logic of a statement like that? I say that it's got to be some sort of devious attempt at reverse psychology. What else could it be? They openly admit that it's essential for the republican Party to entice more women and minorities into their "Big Tent" in order for their party to survive much past 2020. They say that they've got to quit all this preaching to the choir nonsense and do all they can to lure these groups over that have traditionally been a part of a solid Democratic voting bloc.
So what have we got to look forward to in the next couple of years? How are the r's going to lure all these minority and women voters over to their way of thinking? If the Give Hillary a Smack in the Chops Game is any indication, here's some of my thoughts:
Free Presidential candidate breast examinations? (Remember, Rand Paul's a doctor. Sheeesh!)
Minstrel shows?
Watermelon eating contests?
A succession of Señor Wences imitators acting as moderators at the republican primary debates? It has the benefit of not only being informative but being quite jocund as well. (And since they don't like the moderators at CNN and MSNBC, Someone's got to take up the slack and I think this is a natural fit for the r's.)
Poll taxes?
Insulting? Prejudiced? You bet! But you're forgetting the republican's grand master plan. Do I know what it is? No, but I'm betting it's there all the same. I think that our little buddies from across the isle are planning on going old school this time around! Why I'm sure that by the time 2016 rolls around, black and Hispanic voters will be knocking each other over to get in to register as republicans. Then lets see if the republicans state legislators down South way are quite so hot to trot to enact voter suppression laws. Ur, I mean voter fraud laws.
I've just got to be right here folks, because if I'm not. Well, if I'm not then that means that we have a bunch of idiots running one of the two great parties in this nation, and God help us all if that's the case.
