"Oh woe, oh woe, nobody is worthy of conservatism!"
"Ding dong conservatism is dead"
heh
I love watching a grown wingnut wail.
Poor Erick, none of the Republican field meets his expectations
The reasoning goes something along the lines of:
Women probably like Romney.
Women don't like Cain.
Women don't like Gingrich
Perry likes immigrants and that is just a step too far, and probably women don't like him that much either.
The rest are just too batshit crazy to have a chance; or as Erick terms it:-
Mitt Romney will be the nominee because the other candidates, right now, are a pretty pathetic lot.
Wearing his tricorne hat he blames the powers that be in DC for this evil, not that Romney appears to be the only half sane [when cornered] one in the field. The fact that David Brooks in the NYT today basically endorsed Romney must have set him off.
Romney is running in an atmosphere in which it is extremely difficult to remain serious and substantive. Yet he is doing it. Democrats should not underestimate him.
What? Surely you mean to say; in the shit flinging animal house that is the republican primary he is the only one with clean clothes?
So bearing this in mind the thoroughly depressed Mr Erickson declares
Conservatism itself will not really die. But it might as well be dead as even conservatives in the heartland of the country stop taking Washington conservatives seriously.
Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the lead pipe?
Oh wait....sorry....it must be....
Natural causes, a bit like the dinosaurs...hmm....Mitt must be the meteor?
Just a hint Erick, when "conservatives" stop:
1] Their war on women
2] Insisting that the LGBT community is made up of second class citizens.
3] Clutching the craziest religious loons to their breast.
4] Their pandering to the top 1%
5] Regarding education as a luxury.
6] Running scared from science.
7] Being sexist, racist, homophobic jerks
Then, and only then, you might have a movement worthy of being called conservatives.
Then the alcohol really hit home
I’m starting to think I need to walk it back on my rejection of Jon Huntsman. Because I’m starting to think even he would be more faithful in his conservative convictions than Mitt Romney.
Yep, the guy with 2%
I think that is the funniest article I have read in quite some time.
Cheers Erick, you really cheered me up after David Brooks drivel.
4:39 AM PT: PS you should read the comments on Red State as well
