A Rant About Hamletude

Everyone remembers Hamlet, right?  If not, here’s the short version.  He’s the unlucky fellow in the Shakespearian play named after him that pretty much dies and takes the entire royal family of Denmark with him.  The reason?  Indecision.

Well, a few modern day political candidates have the same problem.  The trouble is that they play them out in the media and apparently get a kick out of stringing everyone along because it gets them repeated exposure.  This qualifies as conspicuous and possibly calculated indecision, or as I’m going to call it from here on out, Hamletude.

I have no time for it, and I suspect I’m not the only one.

Let me sum up 2010 for all you political types that still think nothing has changed.  The Republicans can’t help you get elected as much as they could in the past.  We conservatives have bypassed the Republican party with our money and efforts to get people elected now, and it worked with Scott Brown.  There’s no point in ever going back to the way it was, seeing as how the Republican national leadership keeps insisting on never-ending idiocy and preferential treatment of RINOs.  That means the current arrangement will probably be permanent.

We have actual candidates worth supporting who’ve been declared and trying to get nominations or offices for months.  Lots of them.  In fact, grass-roots sorts like me will probably be spread thin here soon.  So to reiterate, I have absolutely no time or patience for Hamletude.

2010 will be a once-in-a-generation opportunity for anyone who opposes the statist view.  By the time Obama is done with his party, all Democrats may well be vincible.  So either you’re in, or you’re out.  If you string me along I will throw you overboard, and you can spare me your Hamletude.
