say a word out of line / and you find that the friends you had / are gone forever ... say goodbye to hollywood

(Amarillo) As this primary season has worn on, it has become clear that the alliance that has held for the better part of the last eight years will not last much longer. For most of the decade now, Union members and Hollywood libs, Commies and DINOs, Greens and Kennedy nostalgists, gay people and aging Depression babies, have all been united in Fear & Loathing of the Emperor W. But as the Emperor’s approval rating plummets into the teens, and viable Democratic candidates rise, our differences begin to come into focus.

I, for one, couldn’t be happier about that. I don’t think I’m alone among PTSers when I say that, the minute a Democrat is elected, I will turn on him or her faster than a Middle School best friend.

Nor do I think we’re unanimous in this treachery. And it’s wonderful to be in disagreement; I long for the days when there will be no Democratic or Liberal party line, when we will fight amongst ourselves like…like Americans. According to lequino, who is on the mailing list for some Republican think tank, it’s amazing how fast the Republican party talking points get into the local paper.

Conservatives may be comfortable letting the group do their thinking for them. I never have been. And I’ll be glad when it’s over.
