Hail to Algher, who saves Gomorrah from being destroyed. 
That’s a pity…Lord knows, we could use the salt. 
From Andrew Sullivan:
Well spoken. I hope you’re gonna go out and try to wrench your party of of the hands of the nutcases.
Oh, so everybody’s OK with Sodom getting nuked, so long as Gomorrah is left alone, huh? I think we know why…
I appreciate the comments, but in all Pit honesty - I will STILL get nasty in the mud when we get back to discussing or pitting actual issues and policies.

I am hosting a party at my house on election night, and I have invited all of my Left wing academic friends to drink my wine, eat my food, and watch the returns on my capitalism acquired 50+ inch HD flat screen. I will sit in the corner drinking Scotch as each state tumbles…
Good. Do what you can to keep us honest, please.
Please don’t put me in a position where my preferences result in alcohol poisoning for you.
Cheers!
Outstanding! Someday, it will be Texas, but for right now, I’ve got Georgia on my mind…
Note to self: standard treatment for Algher, with reacharound.
I’m now damn glad that I was on the recieving end of a “respectful disagreement,” seeing the alternative.
It will be a year of slaughter, I hope.
Algher’s Open Letter to the RNC, et al. Best read thinking of Senator Blutarsky.
Assholes:
I hope you enjoyed the ass-raping we just had. I wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with the few of you dickheads left at the home office. By now the worthless leeches have left the building to try to join the other side, and I hope that a few of you are hanging from the ceiling, having taken the honorable way out.
Never mind, you fucks have not had any honor in years.
Remember when we stood for getting the Feds off of our backs?
Remember when we fought the commies, and said that our military was for protecting America - not for being a cop?
Remember when we just wanted local communities to manage things, not Washington?
Remember when we said that we wanted to put money back in the working man’s pocket?
Yeah, I thought so. You idiots don’t remember ANY of that, you never stood for it. Those were just words you used to get the support of people like me.
No more.
If you think we are going to retake Congress and the White House, it is going to be with a new team. I will not support ANY Republican outreach where a single person has ties to the Bush mess. Either clean house, or you won’t get shit until all of you die a natural or unnatural death.
Go away. Get a “visiting dumbshit” post over at Heritage. Leave. Write a craptastic book that I can purchase from the remainder table and burn on my next camping trip. You don’t belong in my party, you never believed in the ideals of my party, and the best way for my party to return is to cut out the cancer that you represent.
Regards,
Algher
Well. There’s no need to mince words…
Looks like it’s getting even meltier out there–Charles Fried, a McCain advisor, not only endorses Obama, but has already turned in his absentee ballot for Obama/Biden.
That’s gonna leave a mark…
Here’s a Wall Street Journal update of prominent Republicans who’ve joined the Obama camp.
Palin’s looking more and more like this…
Or like this.
Excellent.
But speaking as a former Republican I have a request. It is one thing to reject the current leadership because of their nastiness, negative campaigning, and choice of a total incompetent as VP. But that isn’t why I left. I left because the one thing I kind of liked about the conservative philosophy, the economics, was tried and found wanting. Perhaps some of the reason for the negative campaigning this year is that the standard platform is indefensible? If the Obama policy leads to a safer, more prosperous, and more equitable country, I hope you’ll examine your beliefs against the data. It is hard, but I feel better for it.
As Obama and others have said: let us not get to cocky please. All it will take is one media sound bite to sink us all.

Well, McCain and Palin are both looking like this.
The Great Value of the Extremes is to move the Center.
Abolitionists were once considered extremists. Now most 19th century Abolitionists would be on the fringe not for advocating freeing the slaves (which has been accomplished), but for the fact that most of them were still racists (which, interestingly enough, was a selling point back then, making them more appealing to the racist masses.)
Social Security, Welfare were once considered extreme ideas.
Controlling Alcohol and Drugs was once an extremist idea. Then it became mainstream, and now we’re trying to find a new center.
Democracy was an extremist idea.
It isn’t until people are allowed to express ideas so radical that they are at first attacked as extremists that we begin to see the wisdom of change.
I think not with butter.
The winner will be whoever (whomever?) controls God *
- or Allah
