The Big Flush

There is no way an anti-woman, ultra-conservative, quasi-theocracy can ever win a national election in American politics. Sometimes it is necessary to let those at the extremes of political philosophies (both left and right, by the way) the opportunity to rant and rave but ultimately go down in defeat. The only way the extreme can possibly win an election is if there is low turnout combined with voter apathy. Some of this is evident in the Republican primary where the only demographic that is consistently pro Romney is voters with incomes in excess of $100,000 per year. Not only is this group of voters unanimously voting for Romney in all of the primaries, but this group, unlike all of the others eligible to vote in Republican primaries is turning out in high numbers. This is not unlike the 2000 Presidential election where George Bush was able to win office (perhaps with assistance from SCOUS)with less than 14% of eligible voters casting ballots for his candidacy. One might suspect that any Republican capable of running a campaign that would not resemble the clown car we have had to put up with for the past few months was also able to realize that there was little chance of defeating Obama, a sitting President. Instead of turning one’s self into political cannon fodder it makes far more political sense to sit back, let the idiots destroy the asylum they call the Republican party, and come 2016 start fresh aiming at the center rather than the extreme right. America is a centered country. Neither the extremes on the political right or extremes on the political left will win a national election. After experiencing the policies of the extremists on the right and listening to the rhetoric of the clowns seeking the Republican nomination it is easy to suspect that the 2012 election will flush out those extremists from either party.
