We cats have opined before on the right wing's un-Christian reaction to Ebola sufferers. Back in August, they believed that returning two infected Samaritan's Purse aid workers to the US for what turned out to be successful treatment was an Obama plot to wipe the teabaggers out. So we can only imagine what they're saying to each other about this Ebola dude in Texas.
After all, how can you get yourself to the polls next month if every cell in your body is hemorrhaging? On the other hand, since Ebola is not airborne and pretty hard to transmit in a society that's not based on grass huts and hands-on home funerals, it's not exactly an efficient way to make America teabag-free. But they do love their Obama-hating conspiracy theories.
And it seems that Rand Paul, worried about appealing to the Republican Party base in a couple of years, has jumped on the Ebola frenzy bandwagon. "This could get beyond our control!" he fretted on right-wing radio. We haven't met a lot of eye doctors who are experts on infectious disease, so we assume that Squirrel Hair is cynically stoking GOP fires for Decision '16.
It's disgusting to be playing on people's fears, and we cats HISS at that. But we understand why Republicans like Paul may have terminal illness on their minds. After all, their 2016 nomination will be a fight to the death. We cats PURR at the thought.
