Congratulations, you’re blind adherence to theocracy has marginalized the GOP. You’ve effectively handed the state of Virginia to the Democratic Party. You’re the butt of every joke amongst people who know how to win elections. And you’re still patting yourself on the back for a job well done. But don’t worry, it’s everyone else who doesn’t know what they’re doing. After all, this is just like “Common Core,” right? There have to be clear-cut winners and losers. The egalitarian propaganda is just that—propaganda. Oh wait, you didn’t win…anything. Literally. Nothing.
You managed to lose every statewide office for the first time in over 40 years. Which is quite the accomplishment when you take into account how pathetic your opponents were. Your gubernatorial darling lost to the political equivalent of Tony Montana. Your candidate for lieutenant governor was too busy championing the fight against yoga (you know, since it causes demonic possession) and consensual sex (because homosexuality is “fill in the black with any ridiculous Jackson-ism”) to beat an opponent known for his laziness. And your candidate for attorney general didn’t have the legal acumen to write a bill. Or maybe he does, and criminalizing miscarriages was actually his intent. But who cares, right? This is about principle!
Principles like smaller government…unless you want to marry someone you love or make a healthcare decision for yourself. Principles like education…unless your flagship university researches something other than creationism, it which case “Sue baby, Sue!” And principles like democracy…unless you’re trying to be a sane Republican, in which case you are to be tarred, feathered, and primaried out-of-office.
As a Virginian, I’m embarrassed. As a Republican, I’m mortified. But as a human being with a fully functional frontal lobe, I’m disgusted. You want to know what everyone else calls groups of purists who behave in an overly-zealous and self-destructive fashion? Cults.
But I know you won’t listen to me because I’m “part of the problem.” So I thought it might be helpful to find the definition of cult. Fortunately Merriam-Webster was able to help (don’t worry, Obama didn’t write the dictionary). “Cult - a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous.” Sound familiar?
If not, maybe the opinion of other Republicans will resonate. Here’s a good one: “They’re (the Tea Party) a leaderless, utterly unintelligible, and completely schizophrenic movement. If that’s not too insulting to the term. Movement, that is.”
And here’s another, “If Chicken Little had a bastard child with Jerry Falwell, they would call it a Tea Party Patriot.”
So there you go. There’s your evidence since your abysmal favorability ratings are the media’s fault. I apologize for my inability to find someone to blame your intolerance on though. Maybe that’s Obama’s fault too? No, you’re correct it’s probably the “establishment’s” fault. Actually, on second thought, it’s probably the government’s brainwashing. Since all of you seem to hear the same voices.
