A.P. — First in tedium.
Unfortunately, he’s started out on the foot of demonizing HRC referencing her as ‘evil’. If conservatives continue to do this we will only end up right back in the same spot.
So long as he splits the GOP vote in Utah…its all good. Otherwise, I could give a shit who he is or what he’s about. Feh.
…McMullin being an ambitious young man with a high motor who was very
excited about starting his career in the CIA, taking very seriously all
the agency rules. He even insisted on reporting an encounter with
foreigners from across the hall who gave them cookies…
In other words, a xenophobic nutball. He’ll fit right in with the teaparty.
Yay, an opportunity to plug my favorite blog that you all should be reading seriously why are you still reading this go read Slactivist:
Slactivist - Where Are the White Evangelicals for McMullin?
A snippet:
[quote]To be clear, I am not a Republican. I disagree, emphatically, with much of what Republicans believe and want and pursue. I think they’re wrong.
But I’ve also come to miss them. I prefer contending with their form of wrongness [to] the ascendant bundle of nonsense and white nationalism promoted and embodied by Donald Trump. I had a pang of something like nostalgia the other day when Evan McMullin tweeted something about “tax-and-spend liberals.” I wanted to respond, to point out that taxing and spending are, among other things, constitutional duties, and to point out for the 10,000th time that the real locus of our disagreement here is actually on who and what and how to tax and on what and where to focus the spending. And …
But all of that can wait until after November 8. Because right now I admire Evan McMullin for taking an admirable stand on matters that are, at this moment in history, more urgent than those long-running perennial disagreements and all those points on which I would insist that Republicans are, well, wrong. Right now, for the next three weeks, it seems more urgent to me to commend principled Republicans like McMullin who are condemning Trump’s open bigotry, his promotion of the deplorable alt-right, his demonization of immigrants and refugees, his conspiratorial ignorance, his denial and rejection of basic facts and reality.[/quote]
