According to the remnants of the Republican base, if you vote, you are worthy of derision. Not surprising, given that Keep In the Vote! is an official part of the party platform this cycle.

I really hope that we're witnessing the GOP shitting the bed. I sincerely wish for the rise of a non-fucknut conservative party in the United States after this. (On second thought, as long as I'm wishing, it might be pretty good if the GOP stuck around as a filter for all the mouth-breathers to fall into instead of joining all teh latte elists what use big college words in the new party.)

Having had the opportunity as a Canadian to see about a dozen political parties [*] in action, half of them major, every one of them far to the nominal left of the American Democratic Party, much less the Republicans, I can solemnly attest that ALL political parties attract a high proportion of fucknuts. The amazing thing is that any of them have any sane people at all. I don't believe the Republicans have a higher absolute number of nutjobs than the Democrats, but rather a far lower number of sane people for them to hide behind.

[*] Srsly: Liberal, Social Credit, Progressive Conservative, Reform, Conservative, Bloc Quebecois, and New Democratic Party all count as "major" in that they've formed the government or opposition at the national or provincial level sometime in the past 30 years. Social Credit is now defunct. Then we have the Communist Party of Canada, the Communist Party of Canada Marxist-Leninist, the Rhinoceros Party, the Canadian Action Party, the Family Coalition Party... all of whom have run candidates in ridings where I've lived at various times. And the Green Party is somewhere in between major and minor at the moment, and growing.
