You are free to rationalize your own politics. You are not free to do so with mine.

Interesting perspective. I find that the Republicans successfully win elections relying on the votes of the greedy, selfish, low-IQ, hate-filled, angry, frightened and those easily manipulated with complete lies. Guess which group I'd rather belong to.

The rabid one that needs to be put down?

An attack upon the policy record hardly means an attack upon persons. But again, and again and ten billion times again: stupid should and must hurt until it educates the educable to quit pissing on that electric fence. When you are committed to an ideology that obliges you to choose the lesser, the more collectivist choice, does that say you're intelligent?
What policy records? That's not what you attacked. You attacked the persons who adhere to those policies as being mentally ill.

The facts are, when viewed through the lens of reality, we as a nation have historically done better over the past half century when Democrats have been in control. Republican policies have repeatedly been proven, when implemented, not to work. At all. Well, that's not completely true. They work -- in the exact opposite way that's claimed.

I won't even humor you with what this country would devolve into under Libertarian rule.

Honestly, Guerrilla dear, don't flatter yourself. I've taken on smarter than you and won. Handily.

As to whether or not Sarah Palin is hotter than me, or I could unseat Miss Turkey, I guess that depends on who's judging.
