Why are conservatives so condescending [8D] ? The premise of the OP is that the only available emotions are love and hate, as if more subtle sentiments were beyond us.
To many people, Palin generates neither love nor hate, but rather, mild amusement and exasperation. She still hasn't come up with any original ideas, and her political agenda is completely blurry, yet she is still being touted as the best thing to happen to America since Wal-Mart. PLEASE [&:] ! To her supporters, pointing this out is akin to hating her.
These conservatives are so fucking simplistic. No wonder it's so easy to feel superior to them.
Available emotions run the gamut. Mild amusement however, does not a political movement drive. I doubt tea baggers are the movement that will define a 3rd party, but this country is ripe for one - mainly because a growing segment of the population doesn't think either the end of the liberal-conservative spectrum has the answer. Sure they have answers, but in both cases, those answers are self-serving and dedicated to pushing agendas from their extreme fringes.
Funny thing kittin, your affected superiority complex is a reflection of the same complex that afflicted Republicans in the late 90's, early 2000's. Seems both of you are either too arrogant, too short sighted, or incapable of seeing the obvious similarities.
It is a large part of why conservatives lost, and will be a large part of why liberals will lose. The real question is when will enough people tire of the bullshit floating in from the edges to field a party that caters to neither.
