Demockery

As an Obama supporter, I do not want this to look childish. However, I am horrified to hear Rush Limbaugh calling for Republicans to vote for Hillary in an attempt to subvert the democratic process. Not surprised, but horrified.

I have long suspected that Rush has no respect for a democratic society and is instead more obsessed with his demagoguery and personal fame.


I hoped that his listeners would either be too lazy or have respect for the democratic process but they apparently are not and do not.

There is substantial evidence that some Republicans are attempting to deceitfully choose the Democratic nominee.

Fortunately, they may not have turned out in enough numbers to have changed much - I suspect Obama could have still put Hillary away in Ohio and especially Texas if he responded more effectively to her bullshit kitchen-sink attack tactics. But they are clearly having some effect, eroding the number of delegates Obama is getting from these states.

At this point, I have to wonder if Democrats will even have a chance to screw up their historic opportunity or if Republicans will just screw it up for them.

These fuckers are not content to have just flushed the last 7 years down the toilet, they are determined to ensure it will continue declining just as rapidly as possible.

At one point, these Republicans laid claim to patriotism and the rule of law. Now they are stealing bully tactics and a win-at-all-costs mentality. They have no respect for the democratic process or the rule of law.

I fantasize about living in a country that is outraged when Rush Limbaugh calls on his followers to subvert our elections. In that country, other conservative hosts at least act horrified and distance themselves from this call to illegality (many states have laws against this type of fraud). But we do not live there.
