A quote I take from Jay-Z is, "When the grass is cut, the snakes will show."
That seems to be the lesson of this election. We were able to watch one after another republican candidates drop, as if blue shells were given to each contestant in this mazing game of political Mario Kart.
Here's the jist:
"Indeed, the extremism of his party is Mr Romney’s greatest
handicap. The Democrats have their implacable fringe too: look at the
teachers’ unions. But the Republicans have become a party of
Torquemadas, forcing representatives to sign pledges never to raise
taxes, to dump the chairman of the Federal Reserve and to embrace an
ever more Southern-fried approach to social policy. Under President
Romney, new conservative Supreme Court justices would try to overturn
Roe v Wade, returning abortion policy to the states. The rights of
immigrants (who have hardly had a good deal under Mr Obama) and gays
(who have) would also come under threat. This newspaper yearns for the
more tolerant conservatism of Ronald Reagan, where “small government”
meant keeping the state out of people’s bedrooms as well as out of their
businesses. Mr Romney shows no sign of wanting to revive it."
