Call me Goldilocks and allow me to offer you a third argument – a third way, if you will – concerning the battling How Much Should You Care about the GOP diaries.
If you’re at a restaurant, and a little voice in your head peeps, “Hmm, I wonder what Mitch McConnell would order?” then you’re a little too interested in what Republicans do.
If you’re at a movie theater, and you see a trailer for “Despicable Me 2” and think, “Hey, I wonder if Paul Ryan plans on taking his kids to see this,” then take it from me, a licensed psychologist,* you’re clearly obsessed with Republicans.
If you thought last week, upon hearing the news of Michelle Bachman’s impending retirement, “I wonder what her final assessment of Earth will be once she returns to home planet Glaxor and puts the finishing touches on her report,” then, even though similar thoughts crossed many of our minds, it is my humble opinion that you should be spending your time more wisely.
On the other hand, if you voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and still, to this day, insist there were no differences between Al Gore and George W. Bush and that nothing would have been different in a Gore presidency, well, then, you’re not thinking quite enough, if at all.
And if you don’t think it’s important to get out to the polls in November 2014 and vote for all the candidates with the letter “D” after their names, then let me remind you what 2010 begat: Corbett, Snyder, Scott, Walker, McDonnell, Speaker Boehner.
So, think and let's do our best to never let 2010 happen again.
