... Which brings us to the case of John Fetterman and the occasional Democrats who we Republicans swoon over because they are not completely insane and they don’t seem to hate us. That’s enough to make some of us swoon.

The current Republican infatuation with John Fetterman is just that – an infatuation. Infatuations are neither reasonable nor rational. They’re emotional, and we Republicans tend to get emotional about this kind of rare Democrat. But we shouldn’t be emotional.

The guy is a leftist. He’s a very dedicated progressive who believes in a lot of stuff we don’t believe in. But he does agree with us on some issues, and they tend to be sensible stuff –  especially since he has recovered from his health issues. He thinks it’s probably a good idea to send illegal alien rapists and murderers back to their Third World hellholes. Outside of Washington, DC, this is not controversial. Inside Washington, DC, you can get over 150 Democrats to vote against the idea.

 He also sides with Israel over the semi-humans of Hamas. Again, opposing these particular rapists and murderers is not controversial beyond the Beltway, only inside it and in the deep recesses of the blue cities and college campuses.  His embrace of these concepts shows a baseline of sanity that you don’t see with regular Democrats, though he also goes in for trans nuttiness, DEI, and the redistribution of the means of production to the workers.  ...

But that doesn’t excuse Republicans for viewing this guy with rose-colored glasses. We’ve got to stop thinking with our hearts and start thinking with our heads.  ...

Don’t Fall in Love With Fetterman
Kurt Schlichter

Back about a million years ago, long before I got with the hot wife, I was dating this very nice girl who asked me, shyly and with some hesitation, if I would take her to Outback Steakhouse. I was planning on taking her someplace very expensive, but Outback Steakhouse? Cool – when I was a kid, the Outback Steakhouse of the ‘70s, Sizzler, was a family treat. I could get a blooming onion and save a few bucks – a win-win! So, I took her to Outback Steakhouse and she loved it. She was in heaven. She was a lot like the Republican Party – the world’s cheapest date.

Which brings us to the case of John Fetterman and the occasional Democrats who we Republicans swoon over because they are not completely insane and they don’t seem to hate us. That’s enough to make some of us swoon.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

He is still a Democrat, albeit on the more sane end of the spectrum.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Agreed. Still a Dem but doesn't always march in lock step. As far as falling in love? I don't love any politician.

Fetterlump demonstrates he's just as ignorant as we originally thought he was:

I want to save billions of your money and make our government more efficient.
Rummaging through your personal shit is *not* that.

Musk has some thoughts:

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello???
Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem.
Obviously.
Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …

That is true. If Musk and Team wanted personal info they are savvy enough to obtain it.

Sort of like I laugh at myself for shredding files. All that info can be obtained on line without going thru the trash.
