Good enough to hire,
not good enough to marry:
To the Republican Establishment, Tea Party people are field hands. Their labors are to be recognized and rewarded, but they are to stay off the porch and not presume to sit at the master's table.
And what O'Donnell did, with her amazing victory, is to imperil that Establishment's return to power. That is why these Republicans went ballistic.
Pat and I don't see eye to eye on a bunch of things, but this is God's own truth. When you go to vote for that Republican, just
remember what they think of you.
Standing like a stone on the old plantation
The rich old man would have never let him in
Good enough to hire not good enough to marry
When it all happens nobody wins
Walk on, walk on alone
Walk on, walk on, walk on alone
- Bruce Hornsby, The Valley Road
Nothing new there. Political leaders have viewed their followers that way from time immemorial.
ReplyDeleteSo you don't vote for the Republican and abdicate your vote to people who will have no problem voting for Democrats? I just don't get the vote everybody out thing. COmpletely unrealistic and nihilistic. Defeatist and fatalistic. If I am wrong please explain what you mean. I am just as disgusted with the GOP as much as anyone but we need to hold their feet to the fire of start a third party or just start shooting.
ReplyDeleteThe only difference is we can hold the GOP feet to the fire, but only sometimes and only for a while - so we vote them out and hang them from lampposts. If the really are the Stupid Party, do they feel pain,. or are they like insects? Boll-weevils redux, or just Bedbugs?
