Now that she has so much free time on her hands, former State Senator Maggie Hassan is proudly advocating for her newest hobby, the group No Labels. This means that Maggie ‘The Red’ Hassan is advocating for moderate debate that is open to all sides with a goal of non-partisan compromise. I also hear that Michael Vick would like to buy a dog?
I’d sooner trust Vick with the dog.
This is a woman who tried to socialize medicine in-state, legislate away free speech she objects to, advocates for abortion from conception to delivery, and is committed to advance the size, scope, control, and cost of the government. If she has a middle ground, it is not just left of center, it is far left. So Hassan advocating No Labels is like Kathy Griffin, or Janeane Garofalo advocating tolerance.
It’s only funny because it is so absurd.
But could Hassan have had an epiphany? Has her unexpected defeat resulted in a cathartic de-gentrification of her traditional ruling class elitism? Is it possible that a woman steeped in the progressive super culture could abandon her pro-government/liberal materialism to spend forty days in the desert on a moderate vision quest? Or is this, more likely, just a flanking maneuver.
Maggie ‘The Red’ Hassan is advocating No Labels because she wants to be governor Hassan; think of it as an undocumented progressives worker program or Fascists anonymous–only it’s not about recovery or remission, it is about hiding who you really are from the voters until after you get elected.
But it can only happen if we allow it to. So let us agree not to allow it.
And for those who caught the Rocky Horror Picture Show reference, take a jump of your own and get your reward.
