John Stuart Mill once famously called the British Tories "The Stupid Party." From time to time since then, the Tory's American cousin, the Republican Party, has also earned that moniker. Now may be one of those moments. If current polls and anecdotes are to be believed, there may be a million or two conservative Republicans who are planning to not vote this November.It's funny how the side that opposes torture is the one described as heartless. Because jamming a wet towel down someone's throat is business as usual, but saying mean things about President Bush? You just can't sink any lower.
. . .A realist once observed that the history of mankind is little more than the triumph of the heartless over the mindless.
The Democrats are obviously heartless. Conservatives must guard against falling into the category of the mindless. Ignore your heartfelt peevements, use your brains and vote.
At any rate I think that Republicans are going to be stupid either way. They have a Congress and a President that they now feel have failed to support their interests. So keeping those bums in and kicking those bums out? Either way the Republicans are not going to have their desires catered to.
