It's Hard Leaving Until..
From the No Force, No Fraud blog:
"Political party loyalty is addictive," says this blog entry. "and the old parties play it as well as any pusher does. They give you an occasional high, and celebrate your shared addiction with fabulous pomp and circumstance. When you're 'coming down' they sympathize and tell you just need a little fix to get back on track. That's what Pawlenty's apology was... that little nip to get you through the current discomfort. Just like a drug, it makes kicking the habit a little bit harder by putting it off again. But... it does feel good."
Which is why many of us don't trust 'em anymore. Like an old girlfriend or ex-wife that one still has some affection, a history with, and some memories of, the old party can be hard to walk away from without getting all teary-eyed. Until of course one remembers why one left and the entire sordid and sleazy history of the old party's betrayals, lies, and bullshit of course.
