It is time Republicans declare war on stupid. For years, stupid worked well for them.
When the insufferable Albert Gore threatened in 2000, Republicans got behind the frat house screwup. Certainly, plenty of conservatives complain today about the eight years of George W. Bush. But they surely weren’t as bad as the four-year lecture we would have endured from the ballooning Mr. Gore.
Then there was the even more insufferable John F. Kerry with his elitist, Northeastern snobbery challenging Mr. Bush in 2004. He managed to hand Mr. Bush a victory that dwarfed the squeaker in 2000. What must it be like to know you are even more insufferable than Albert Gore?
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
