More from the actual article:
“Gardner has sound ideas on tax reform that could help the economy take off and has expressed willingness to compromise on immigration despite a fairly hard line over the years.”
In other words, the gullible dipshits running the Post don’t recognize an etch-a-sketch job when they see one.
“As The Wall Street Journal’s Gerald Seib recently pointed out,…A look back shows that eras of evenly divided power — Congress fully controlled by one party, the presidency by the other — have turned out to be among the most productive” because both sides temper their policies."
Translation: “If Rupert Murdoch’s lackeys say so, then it’s good enough for us.”
"his past views on same-sex marriage are becoming irrelevant now that the Supreme Court has let appeals court rulings stand and marriage equality appears unstoppable. "
Aaaaah, so that’s why the conservatives on the SCOTUS refused to act on it yet: fucking imbeciles the country wide are going to argue that it doesn’t matter if they elect a bigot if his bigotry is held in check by the law. You know, because he couldn’t possibly act like a bigot or be ruled by his bigotry in ways that would effect his judgment in other ways and he sure wouldn’t ever try to enact anything to carry out his bigoted agenda under the guise of some other policy issue, just like Atwater taught him. No no…as long as the law says so, there’s no way for people who actually write the laws to do anything about it.
“contrary to Udall’s tedious refrain, Gardner’s election would pose no threat to abortion rights.”
Wanna bet? Guess who stands in the way of the appointment of another liberal on the SCOTUS, you fucking dillholes. Guess. That’s right, the fucking Senate…and while they can’t just appoint someone they want, they can certainly make a mess for 2 years and allow 5 conservatives to run rampant over all sorts of rights, like abortion, with only 3 liberals there to object.
This is may be the shallowest, most ill-conceived endorsement argument of the election cycle and it serves as nothing more than a massive, infuriating case study of precisely the kind of wrong-headed, irrational thought processes that lead people to vote for GOPers/Teatrolls time and time again…only to find themselves a short while later going “what the fuck have I done?”
