"Suicide voters. " - Conservative republicans who will vote/cheer/encourage Hillary Clinton ... IF ... John McCain gets the republican presidential nomination. That's the new terminology ... the new reality facing the GOP. Rush. Coulter. Swearing to support ANOTHER Clinton presidency, rather than rally behind what is an inevitable McCain ticket. Now ... I think I've heard it all.
No ... wait. I just watched two ultra conservatives ... Glen Beck/CNN Headline News and Larry Elder/Radio Host ... argue with EACHOTHER over why they (and in turn their viewers/listeners) should actually vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Here's Glen Becks' reasoning for his fans to vote Clinton vs. McCain:
1. Teach fellow conservatives a lesson.
2. McCain doesn't get that we need tax cuts to stay in Iraq.
3. McCain wants to stop global warming.
Uh ... advantage Elder without opening his mouth. But when he did ... his simple stance was ... Supreme Court? Big government? Mandated health care? In other words Glen Beck ... you want moderate republicans and America to learn a lesson? So take Hillary for 4 years and smoke it??
Bitter. Bitter. Rating Mongering. Bitter. Hillary is sooooo good for Rush. Soooo good for Glen. Soooo good for Coulter. Millions of dollars. Millions of listeners. A windfall of attention and cash ... for all those ultra-conservative hosts who thrive on conflict. To the point they will sell out the party, the presidency, the direction of this nation for one term ... perhaps nearly a decade the way terms have gone lately.
There's truth to that old saying, "when the ship's going down it's every man for himself." I see a lot of selfish grabbing in the face of a sinking ship. Where's the character? Where's the leadership? President Bush famously said "I'm a uniter, not a divider." But what Rush & Coulter & Beck are ignoring about that honorable self-described trait ... was the SECOND sentence "I refuse to play the politics of putting people into groups and pitting one group against another."
That's exactly what the conservative airwaves are doing. Cannibalizing themselves. And throwing America under the bus in the process. Nice. Beware the "suicide voter." They don't care about this country ... they care about themselves.
