Ceaseless ideological treachery.

Vox Day argues you should support Ron Paul and that it doesn't matter if you're a liberal Democrat who bought the Obama hope and change deal or if you're "a conservative Republican who is still reeling with the shock from eight years of ceaseless ideological treachery by George W. Bush."^[1]

I have gnashed my teeth over Mr. Bush's prescription drug idiocy, massive overspending, duplicitous switcheroo from "WMDs" to "nation building" in Iraq, flaccidity on massive illegal immigration, cluelessness on the source of Islamic terror and obscurantism (hint: the Koran), and slobbering over visiting Saudi firemen intent on sowing subversion in our great land. It was anger on an issue-by-issue basis but the phrase "ceaseless ideological treachery" just sums it up too perfectly.

What's a cause for real despair is the realization that Republicans nominated Mr. McCain, who was the poster boy for political chameleons and who had positive disdain for conservatism. Nor could he bring himself to say an unkind word about Muslims.

And now Republicans appear to be about to nominate another RINO with only newly-discovered conservative values, we should be so lucky, and an inability even to explain the salutary function of Bain in the capitalist scheme of things. (That America long since left capitalism behind it is an idea that he would simply be unable to grasp, and good luck expecting him to articulate any arguments against the over-regulation of the economy.)

In four elections, Republicans have nominated or given strong support to putative Republicans without an ounce of understanding between them of limited government -- or any demonstrated hostility to illegal immigration.

Pee Wee Hermans all -- without the sense of humor or humility.
