You are talking as if I had not repeatedly criticized and attacked the Republican party, as if I had not pointed out their repulsive hypocrisy and their evident contempt for their own voters, as if I had not quarrelled with a number of REpublicans. You are so partisan that you cannot even begin to see beyond the party label, to realize that both McCAin and Palin have made their way as insurgents against the party establishment, that the party establishment hates both and has done everything in their power to destroy them, that they have destroyed the favoured establishment candidate (that sleazy deal-maker Mitt Romney, the man of a thousand faces) at the same time as they held at bay the creationist Huckabee (another person I am on record as criticizing severely). You are so scarily partisan and so scarily in thrall to media lies that you do not even seem capable of seeing the difference between a thoroughly pro-life ticket such as McCain-Palin - McCain having one of the strongest anti-abortion records in the Senate - and the most pro-abortion Senator in the whole Senate, a man who did not have any objection to the killing of babies born alive and who voted in favour of partial-birth abortion and against parental notification. Perhaps you did not even know that, so wholly in the grip of partisan passion you are. To you, a Republican, any Republican, will always and inevitably be wrong; a Democrat, any Democrat, will always and inevitably be right. And people complain when I curse and execrate the party spirit.
