“I hope this country fails!” infers Key Republican in video.
Take a look at this. It’s from Think Progress and really, absolutely beyond belief:
He tries to backtrack on his statement, but it’s pretty clear it’s his knee-jerk reaction to the question. The way he truly feels about Obama and this country deep down. Tomorrow, he’ll try to tell us this was taken out of context, but we know better. Lets make sure that talking point doesn’t stick this time.
This pretty much sums up the attitude of the Republican party. Sure, they’ll try to sugar coat it when they show up on CNN or the Sunday talk shows, but what you see here is the gut reaction of an angry, self-centered prick who doesn’t give a damn about you, your job, your family or your country. It is all about their party over and above everything else.
Seeing this video just makes me angry. We’ve spent years with this party, a party that has ridiculed the children of Presidents they didn’t like, a party that’s stood behind Wall Street’s crooks from Michael Milken to today’s morally corrupt bunch. We’ve watched a slight majority - a scared, uninformed group of Americans - put these people in power without really knowing what they were about.
I don’t think I’m making too much of this. This guy - and those like him who can’t seem to control their disdain for everyone who is not part of the privileged and the ideologically similar - is NOT what we want representing us in Washington.
Santorum has been a boil on the ass of this country for a long time. Please get rid of him. Let him know that his version of America is not even close to what the real America is about. Let him and those like him enter old age angry and bitter that the country never listened to them and followed their path. They may think they were our salvation. We know better.
