Attacking 12 year-olds
It is probably a measure of just how far the Republican Party and what's left of its supporters have fallen in my opinion that their willingness to launch a smear campaign against a 12 year-old doesn't even surprise me.
As with many other things, the soon-to-be-former GOPer John Cole provides an excellent summary of the situation. I suggest reading all of it, but I thought I'd highlight one piece.
I simply can not believe this is what the Republican party has become. I just can’t. It just makes me sick to think all those years of supporting this party, and this is what it has become. Even if you don’t like the S-Chip expansion, it is hard to deny what Republicans are- a bunch of bitter, nasty, petty, snarling, sneering, vicious thugs, peering through people’s windows so they can make fun of their misfortune.
Again, I'm not surprised anymore, but as someone who has thought of himself as a conservative, I know the sick feeling that these jackasses are the people who represent conservatism these days.
