Jerome & RedState.org

The past couple of days, Jerome has been catching some nasty flack on RedState.org because of his belief in astrology. [Yes, I read RedState. Once or twice a day, I brace myself and log on. Know thy enemy. Though often I feel as if I need a full bio-hazard suit to protect me from the foul toxic environment over there.]
Okay, so we Virgos don't believe in astrology.
But Jerome's belief in astrology is as relevant to his political analysis and commentary as me being a UCLA football fan is relevant to driving a car.
But this personal nastiness towards Jerome by the trolls at RedState is another example of a fundamental Republican tactic: if you can't beat the facts, try whatever bit of character assassination you think might work, be it Swiftboating, aspersions about astrology, or morphing or a candidate into Osama bin Laden.
We can't change Republican behavior. But we can surely throw Repbulicans out of power. Just one more reason. Not that we needed any.
