I dunno... If politics is personal, I suppose this shit is to be expected.Today's word is 'pandering'.
All over I see the call to arms, no pandering! They shall not pass, no way in hell, be it guns or abortion or religion, this is the line in the sand. Viva la difference!
Now, if yer talking about economic justice or health care or imperialism, well then, ahem...never mind.
Sure looking like the Palin nomination was a good choice for the Republicans, the predictable reaction looks like more of the same old shit, and we know where that goes.
They should change the name to 'Pavlov's Dog Party'.

On the other hand, how much weirder is this than many of the "legitimate" issues on which such thoughtful and important electoral decisions are to be made?
So BP, I figure that if Obama wins, things go on pretty much as today with some minor throw-off from DU type places. BUT, if he loses... I figure about 5% radicalization (and pretty frustrated "radicalization" at that). What do you figure happens to the other 95%? Do they just try to do it again for another 4 years? Frankly, I think the middle-class version of the radical bourgeoisie is a lot like made-for TV remakes of popular movies. Maybe they just can't get the hair right.
