i only sleep with democrats

if you doubt the importance and pop-culture relevance of this election, you should doubt it no more after watching this:




truththroughaction.org is something very new to the political landscape. i blogged about the colbert/stewart strategy of dealing with right-wing lunacy. this can just be seen as an extension of that. instead of addressing the policies of the fringe of the right-wing party, truthforaction makes fun of them. and they are smart for doing so. i mean really, how can you have an intellectual debate about whether or not some supreme divine being who only reveals himself to a few of us approves of two men doing the hippity dippity? the argument against is not grounded in reality, its' grounded in fear. how can you have an intellectual argument with someone about whether or not a human being should get medical treatment? again, the argument, not grounded in intellectual fortitude but minimizing financial burden (and there is barely an argument there).

i have always been an independent because i have always subscribed to the belief that there is never a right side in a two-sided argument. inevitably there is nuance that makes pieces of both arguments correct. and even those pieces that are incorrect (if you can call them that) are incorrect only because they are placed in the context of the times, not because they have no intellectual base. but, the republican party has been hijacked (kudos Arianna) by lunatics who think that xenophobia, discrimination and disbelief in scientific reality is the most effective way to govern. they are not statesmen, they are salesmen. this is why i agree with Arianna Huffington calling it the lunatic fringe. at the end of the day, republican values are built on fiscal solvency, individual responsibility and limited government. unfortunately, the republican party today surely does not represent fiscal responsibility (see: Iraq War, Gas Prices, etc...). they don't represent individual responsibility, they just pervert that value to many get the illegal immigrants outta here and let poor people pay higher taxes (relative to income) than the top 0.1% of the country. and limited government? puhhllleeeeeeze! big brother anyone (Orwell, not the tv show) so therefore, i drop my independence and proclaim, I WILL ONLY SLEEP WITH DEMOCRATS!
