Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

“Bordering on the Irrational”

Roland Martin:

Listening to the irrational and hysterical response of conservatives to the presidential candidacy of Sen. John McCain would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. […]

Let’s be clear — conservatives don’t like McCain. But with conservatives one seat away from having a majority on the Supreme Court and the next president having the power to name up to three justices, do you actually think the folks who’ve fought two generations to re-take the Court actually want to see three Clinton jurists?

This, folks, is bordering on the irrational.

It all revolves around this desperate desire to find the new Ronald Reagan. He is the conservative icon. However as conservative Bill Bennett told me Tuesday night during one of our breaks in Super Tuesday coverage, Ronald Reagan wasn’t always Ronald Reagan. His positions on taxes and gays evolved.

But don’t tell that to conservative radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, who have vowed to destroy McCain because he doesn’t carry their water on every issue. Most issues? Yes. But they require their politicians to assume a fetal position, not to have a backbone and stand up to them when needed.

Right now, the whackosphere is behaving like you did when you wanted ice cream when your mommy or daddy told you that you were getting a cookie. You jumped up and down on the floor. You screamed. You held your breath till you were almost blue in the face. Eventually though, you took the cookie.

Rush Limbaugh will vote for John McCain.
Sean Hannity will vote for John McCain.
Laura Ingraham will vote for John McCain.
James Dobson will vote for John McCain.

Conservatives won’t sit out the election in 2008. They will vote for John McCain. Sean Hannity will eventualy have McCain on his radio show telling him he’s a “Great American and patriot.” Right now, they’re just having a little temper tantrum. In time, you they’ll be talking about John McCain as though they were with him all along. You know it. I know it. I don’t listen to any of these shows, but I am sure it’s gonna make for great radio over the next few months.

K-Lo, in a post titled ‘I Hate to Lose’:

Romney just dropped out for the good of America, he said. Staying in would forestall a national McCain and we must defeat the defeatists; he did the honorable thing and is a winner for it.

K-Lo hates losing, so she will redefine “losing” to mean “winning.” And why the hell not, I say? That approach has worked magnificently in Iraq.

Romney just blamed the military decline on the… CLENIS.

No wonder the pundits loved this douchebag. He also is crying out for energy independence. It really has sucked having a Democratic President these last 8 years.

Oh. Wait.

*** Update ***

Romney is quitting so we don’t lose the war on terror to a Clinton or Obama Presidency. The 2008 version of “Vote Republican or the terrorists Win.”

These people are scum, and they are already trying to shape the 2008 election. Expect bobbleheads like Chris Matthews to say this was the best speech of his campaign (ala the Gore concession in 2000).

How Much Better Off Would We All Be

If this attitude had been on display the past seven years against Bush:

Ace has some lengthy and thoughtful comments on why McCain will indeed continue to screw conservatives from here on out. Read it all, and tell me it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Yeah, I’ll still vote for the little [expletive deleted]er in the general election. But you know what? I’m going to keep bashing him anyway. And I’m going to make especially sure I bash him, by name, within 60 days of the election — in honor of his past assaults on free speech.

I love the Republican party — but I love irony more.

The damage Bush has done to conservatism (*see the note below) FAR outweighs whatever transgressions the right think McCain has committed (really, Bush’s lone successes for conservatives have been Alito and Roberts, deals McCain helped to broker), yet there was little to no substantive criticism of Bush. What if conservatives had unleashed the venom they now fling at McCain on this administration when they were:

1.) Doing a crappy job prosecuting the war in Iraq
2.) Failing to direct adequate resources to Afghanistan
3.) Passing the Prescription drug Plan
4.) Passing bloated and unbalanced budgets
5.) Writing special legislation for Terri Schiavo.

And on and on and on. What if, rather than deriding anyone who pointed this stuff out as having BDS, they punished Bush and company for their transgressions? Had they done so, had they actually stopped drinking the kool-aid and paused the “Democrats are worse” chorus, we might not have this situation:

Substantial attention has been paid to the historic unpopularity of the Bush presidency, but relatively little attention has been paid to the accompanying collapse of the Republican Party’s credibility. The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll reveals that Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle every issue of any significance, including — by a now fairly wide margin– “the U.S. campaign against terrorism”

The basis of McCain’s support this election cycle was correctly pointed out by the Bradrocket yesterday, as he laughed at the “conservatives” who, after spending months flinging poo at John McCain, now expect him to come lick their boots AFTER he has won the nomination despite their best efforts:

In other words, he’s succeeded largely because he’s convinced a sizable number of people in this country that he has nothing to do with all-out lunatics like you guys. If he’s come this far without your help, then there is no upside to him coming out and giving the finger to subprime borrowers who have just lost their homes, as you’d prefer him to do. Sorry, guys, but your ideology has become political poison in this country, even in the damn Republican primaries. If you want people to vote for you in the future, maybe you should stop wearing your sociopathy so overtly on your sleeves.

Pretty much.

*Note- Conservative and conservatism are now meaningless terms, as conservative now means Crazy yahoo who loves him some Bush and goes along unflinchingly with whatever dumb ideas the NRO, Hewitt, and Malkin now claim are “conservative”.
