turncoats
Pundit and kool-aid slurper Mark Davis seems to think that because Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama that it means Powell is no longer a conservative. One presumes he feels the same about Christopher Buckley. And Scott McClellan. Did he stop to consider, perhaps, that it may be the Republican Party that is no longer conservative, and that Powell, far from "betraying" his party, has in fact realized that it was he who was betrayed?

They are all so pathetic at this point...really, why would they attack Powell for his personal choices other than sick fucked up reasoning skills that attach fascist tendencies to everything done by people outside their little group of reichwingers?
Never in my lifetime have I seen so many defections from one party...never, and I have been voting for over 34 years.
What about Charles Fried? He must be a traitor too!
Yes, they're all traitors. it's not that something is rotten within the party, it must be that everyone leaving is an evil turncoat. That's the simplest explanation.
Sad thing is, I'm not sure it'll do any good, in the end. If the GOP steals it, will the Poeple finally wake up? If Obama wins, will the People sit back and believe (again) as the Republican Spin Machine blames it all on the opposition? Will 2012 usher in an even worse Republican candidate?
I worry, I worry a lot.
The word is that unlike the Democrats, there are those in the GOP who are looking forward to McCain losing, because this would give them an opportunity to "purge" so-called "fake Republicans" from the party. I wonder if they know that such a purge would lose them many, many seats. And if Sarah Palin is their new standard-bearer, wouldn't Libertarians count as "fake Rebuplicans?"
Any purge in the party would probably come from a half dozen different directions, result in a minor "civil" war, and end up with a different faction in charge and the rest drinking the new kool-aid (because voting for the other side would be unthinkable).
