The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

When are Americans gonna skewer this piggy over a firepit?

      Well, they did have to make that relief valve called the teabaggers, oops, I mean “The Tea Party”. Suddenly, all those W bumper stickers were scraped off of cars, and there were all these “independents” all over the fucking place and no Republicans and certainly any Republicans you knew never heard of this guy called “W”.

      That’s how much of an unspinnable embarrassment and failure he was: Katrina, Iraq, and the economy cratered right at the end of his term.

      Of course, after the teabagger thing, they came roaring back for Failin’ Palin. Soon after, Donvict laid all the sins of the party at the feet of Jeb, and the cons creamed their jeans over the new permission structure he gave them - not only could they admit to being Republicans again, conservatives were free to be their worst fucking selves, because “he says what I think!” No accident, since Donvict watches Faux constantly, too!

    They didn’t spitroast Nixon, despite his blatant criminality. He was pardoned and given enough money to live out the rest of his life filthy rich, helping future criminals take office, learning from his mistakes.

      And thanks to scumbag Roger Ales reacting to Watergate we got Fox News to make sure no Republican would ever have to face the consequences of their actions again…
