I do think we are in the middle of a political civil war. My theory is that the Bush years radically split the country. His two terms in office were so devastating to the country and to the GOP. He lied us into Iraq. Condoned torture. Opened our own little Gulags. Hyped the terror. The Bush years are a real stain on the country. And was a black mark for all of us who live here.
And the GOP just has to pretend it never happened.
And then Obama has had to try to pick up the pieces. He's pretty much been an Eisenhower moderate, but the GOP has to pretend that he's some crazy Kenyan, Muslim, Marxist. Very, very weird. And now Romney is just trying to lie his way into office. The GOP is desperate to believe. They are now a totally demented political party.
So yes, the political civil war rages. We are planning an election eve party. It will only be a party if Obama emerges the victor. He must. He will...
