Former Ron Paul Aide: Boycott Democrats

Of all the sore loser ideas I have seen, this has to take the cake:


Former Ron Paul aide Eric Dondero says the only recourse to President Obama's re-election is "outright revolt" and is launching a "personal boycott" of Democrats.

He writes: "All family and friends, even close family and friends, who I know to be Democrats are hereby dead to me. I vow never to speak to them again for the rest of my life, or have any communications with them. They are in short, the enemies of liberty. They deserve nothing less than hatred and utter contempt."

As angry and bitter as I was in 2004, I never thought about refusing to speak to my Republican friends. That is just juvenile.

very much they will be looking for the party affiliation

Also, this is more than just sore loser, this is based on racist hate

Who thinks they are too good for others. Hey buddy, bring it on. Why would any smart Dem want to talk to assholes like you anyway. I would go along with my Repuke brother if he said the same to me. I used to have respect for him, but now he's a Faux nut so I just assume he gets his talk from them.

The poor, union members, non-Christians, sick folks, children, college kids, the unemployed, and anybody else who isn't an old white fucker.

Thanks Eric Dondero for stating the posting of the GOPso succinctly.

over the results of an election. Its a level of madness that goes above even most of the Christian Right.

He couldn't stand Romney and was happy he got his ass handed to him. Not an endorsement of Obama but NOT a fan of Romney. He gleefuly rubbed it in to our Teabagger coworkers who supported Romney the day after the election.

I was ostracized by my family for calling Shrub a war criminal for starting a war of aggression based on lies.

The party of hate it is...

I'm not a Ron Paul fan, but many of the people involved with his candidacy were just trying to talk some sense into the republican party. I have friends who were big Paul supporters who voted Obama. Of course there were a lot of loons too, nature of the fringe candidate beast.
