Ginny: ...so Lacy, that's the dilemma we find ourselves in! Unless one of us drops out, the voters get two more years of Philip Ventura! Dick: Now, just a minute, young lady! Lacey has been running for that seat for twelve years! And no one in this community is more deserving of it! Ginny: I realize that, Mr. Davenport! That's why I came here to tell your wife that I am withdrawing from the race! Dick: Oh... forgive my two cents... Lacey: Dearest, maybe you could leave us alone for a minute... Ginny: God, I hate being noble!

If there were more Repubs like Lacey around, their approval rating might be higher than head lice.

Funny. Back when this was written, I was a Republican. That played out after 1980, when the party started to get obsessed with insanities and idiocies, and decided that Jesus Christ had a political position on the ownership of the Panama Canal.

“If only Ralph Nader had done this in 2000 ".Yep, he drew enough votes away from Al Gore to stop a full victory for Gore to a vote which depended on less than a thousand voters.

David Green:; I can’t agree with you. He had just been popularly elected by a sizable majority. The job of the opposition party was to work with him to save the people of this country from the disaster that had come down from W’s mis-administration. Obama at no time had any plan to destroy this country and if they try to say that he did then it was because they are lunatics and their ideology is insane. And I say again that the Republican party is in the hands of the lunatic fringe who was and still is ready to default on our obligations and plunge the world into a depression the likes of which we’ve never seen. These traitors have only the interests of the corporations and religious doctrinaires in mind and the hell with everyone else. If they get control now and keep pulling the country to the far, far right, we’ll all reap the whirlwind. We need to get back to a centrist, non-ideological government and quickly. In the face of this treason, Obama’s done a hell of a job. Not perfect like all the prez’s who preceded him (sic), but a hell of a job.
