Dead fish

"Only dead fish go with the flow."  So says the most respected member of the Republican Party, Sarah Palin. 

Well, this blog's writers are drifting with the belly-ups.  They wanted to bring the Republican party reason, professionalism, and diversity of thought.  But the floe (sic) is going the other way.  Tea partiers don't care about facts or resposibilities.  They want government to cut taxes, but no cutting Medicare, or the military, or Social Security or any of the other big ticket items.  They want to ignore science, not just on global warming, but on evolution, geology, and economics. 

And diversity of thought -- forget about it.  The tiniest slip on those slimy scales and you're a RINO.  Republican Senators who used to be considered conservative, Lindsey Graham for instance, are being threatened. 

A responsible politician would dissociate herself or himself from these crazies.  But right now, these crazies are the only ones willing to vote Republican.  So our brave saviors of the Party -- the Next Right -- are holding their noses.

I dunno, maybe she is just tossing dead fish in the waters to test for sharks?
(Lots and lots  of dead fish - very few sharks so far)

Sarah,

you mean like "ONLY dead fish go with the flow" ?

Properly flogged, even dead fish go upstream.

Eventually, only the stream and always the stream, wins.

Why not enjoy the stream as much as possible while in it?

In a hedonistic way or as in the Book of Job: taking what happens in the stream even when it kills your herd and your relatives?

Thinking about it I'd say... be hedonistic about it as long as possible... enjoy it as much as possible. It will kill your herd and relatives just the same. No?
