Taylor, Sloan and others in “Unfinished Business”

It's after midnight now and I feel like I can ask a question.

Sloan

Sure.

I meant to Will.

Will

Yes.

Who did you vote for today?

Will

You know I'm not answering that.

I thought you might because you revealed your party affiliation on the air last year.

Will

I did. I identified myself as a Republican because I thought it was fair to give to the viewer given the commentary I was delivering.

A commentary that ended with you calling the Tea Party the American Taliban.

Will

Yes.

And in the body of the commentary - was a blistering indictment of Republicans.

Will

Exactly the opposite. It was a blistering indictment of people who aren't Republicans.

Well, who's to say who is and who isn't?

Will

On that night, I did.

I want to remind you you asked me to pursue this area.

Will

I understand.

And I'm wondering, with all respect, do you call yourself a Republican so you can make a claim to credibility when you attack the GOP?

Will

No, I call myself a Republican 'cause I am one. I believe in market solutions and I believe in common sense realities and the necessity to defend ourselves against a dangerous world and that's about it. Problem is now I have to be homophobic. I have to count the number of times people go to church. I have to deny facts and think scientific research is a long con. I have to think poor people are getting a sweet ride. And I have to have such a stunning inferiority complex that I fear education and intellect in the 21st century. But most of all, the biggest new requirement, really the only requirement, is that I have to hate Democrats. And I have to hate Chris Christie for not spitting on the president when he got off Air Force One. The two-party system is crucial to the whole operation. There's honor in being the loyal opposition. And I'm a Republican for the same reasons you are. So I hope your voice gets louder in the next four years.

Well, I don't like losing, so count on it.
