If You Are A Clinton-Voting Republican "Strategy-Voter".... YOU SUCK
Conservative knuckleheads like Rush Limbaugh are encouraging Republicans to go out and vote for Hillary Clinton in the remaining open primaries. Why? As IÕve said here many times, the Republicans want Clinton to win the nomination because they know they have a better chance at beating her than they do Obama.
These are the same idiots who hammer people for being "unpatriotic" when they disagree with the war or donÕt wear some goofy flag pin. But you know whatÕs really unpatriotic? Encouraging people to totally disrespect and trivialize and corrupt our electoral system for political and personal gain, thatÕs what. You know damn well that if the situations were reversed, the Republicans were in a tight race, and Keith Olbermann was telling Democrats to go over and vote for Huckabee because heÕs easier to beat in November, and these Democrats were skewing the numbers and affecting the Republican primary, Rush Limbaugh would be having a Whatasized hissy fit right about now.
HereÕ some facts. The next primary in Pennsylvania on April 22 is a closed primary, so Republicans and Independants canÕt vote. But of the remaining primaries, Indiana, Montana, Puerto Rico (an absurd primary, but thatÕs for another blog), North Carolina, and West Virginia are open primaries, so Republicans are once again going to be "strategy voting" for Clinton. In the Mississippi primary, which Obama won, 12% of all the people who voted were actually Republicans who strategy-voted for Clinton. You could make the argument that when Republicans were voting for Obama, no one was calling them "strategy voters", so how do you know that the ones voting for Clinton now are "strategy voting"? Because LimbaughÕs "dittoheads" are freaking sheep, thatÕs why. There were no Republicans voting for Clinton until he told them to do it. A large portion of them will think whatever he thinks, and will do whatever he tells them to do. He actually told them to go out and do this to "bloody up Barack Obama", and because "it would be fun" to keep the Democratic race going. "Fun"?? You want to make a mockery of the electoral system so yÕall can get a few chuckles? Nice job.
Listen, let me say first that if you are listening faithfully to Rush Limbaugh, youÕve lost your mind in general. But second, if youÕre actually doing his bidding, and going out corrupting the electoral system by voting for Clinton in the Democratic primaries just to mess with them, and/or because you think Clinton is easier to beat, then YOU SUCK.
