Look, I respect many who have posted and diaried about their opposition against Operation Hilarity. I get it. You want us to be above the fray. I get it.
But the reality is that the Republicans are far from above the fray and will do and say anything to get what they want.
We are seeing this in the clown show that is shown weekly in debates, primaries, caucuses, a straight up clown show.
This is why I am for Operation Hilarity and why I whipped my card out to support it.
The Republican Party is based out of non-reality. Repeat non-reality. It is this reality that swept them into partial power of congress in 2010 and swept them in power across many states in this country. We can say or argue the reasons why, but the fact is that this party is about power and good at getting it when the public is asleep. If they LOSE in November, just watch 2014 and the money flowing in your little district to regain it. You will then change your mind about being above the fray.
Democracy and the fight for it, past and current, is utterly important. But thank the Supreme Court with what is about to be unleashed on this country and the small show we are seeing now. It is called MONEY and it is called BUYING POWER. That means stomping the shit out of your opponent and it means doing it by running shadow campaigns called "super pacs". Everyone on here stating this is atrocious, wait until the Republican nominee emerges. And if it is Mitt Romney, as many of the 1% are salivating it to be, they are ready to put huge money behind these "shadow campaigns" and that money will be flowing like the Mississippi River.
Fuck 'em. Yes, fuck 'em. When have the Republicans, "of late", ever thought about doing anything above board. Don't believe me? Watch what I saw on Rachel Maddow tonight (below) about a bill in Virginia about to be signed by the Republican governor invading, forcing a woman to succumb to a "penetrating vaginal probing" if she wants to terminate a pregnancy. How fucked up is that!!! Imagine Santorum the nominee and this wild law in effect. Think of the millions of women who won't even GET to the abortion aspect, but won't be able to get past the words of "forced" and "vaginal penetration". This coming from a party who hates government, wants it smaller and don't want to invade the public's privacy. Bring Santorum on.
Lastly, why not? Look at how much money Romney and cronies have spent. Thanks to the Supreme Court, this shit is just the beginning. Romney with his cool, slickster talk, acting like "he has done nothing", is using money to crush the shit out of his opponents. Look what happened to Newt Gingrich in Florida!!
We have every right to do this. It is called participating and exercising your right to VOTE. Politics is not a dainty sport, it is hard ball and you use everything in your arsenal to destroy your opponent. You don't sit around here and say, "oh we should be above board". And for those who think that the Obama Campaign is not LOVING THIS, think again. Anything to weaken Romney, extend this fight, suppress the voters dissatisfaction of this field, HELP THEM. NOT HURT THEM.
