re: #77 Blind Frog Belly White

That’s true of almost everything, though. Mrs. FBW and I were talking the other day about characteristics of conservatives, and I pointed out their complete inability to understand anyone’s life experience being different from their own. They always think it’s about personal failing, till it hits them directly.

I used the example of the Cheney family and marriage equality. The only reason Dick Cheney supports marriage equality is because it affects his own daughter. But that effect didn’t even reach to her own sister.

There was also a guy on the Bowsite, who was as conservative as anyone there, till he lost his well-paid job and couldn’t find one for a while. And he got shit from some there for not taking shit jobs that paid less than his unemployment insurance.

The only reason Liz Cheney did not support her sister is that it would cost her the conservative vote. I am sure she personally doesn’t care about the issue — but she does care about being elected. Not a single member of the GOP will stand up for principles that diverge from the party orthodoxy and run on them and, if elected, continue to support them. They are all cowards.
