Yeah? Well some say the feeling is mutual.
And some are determined to move the GOP back toward conservatism and classical liberalism, and away from the kind of “maverick” pragmatism that has, when coupled with the soft socialism of today’s left, crippled the currency, the economy, the job market, and public confidence in the government to do anything more than enslave them.
Substantial?
Substantial?!
Stupid. Mother. Fuckers.
As “substantial” as dropping a feather in a rail car of steel and complaining of the weight.
Allow me: SCREW THE GOP. Without the Tea Party, they wouldn’t even a presence. They drove us in the ditch; now it’s backseat time (to borrow a pre-existing bit of imagery).
Maybe Nancy had a point when she was talking about the idea that the budget should reflect our values. The morality of it all.
Usually when you read the word “some” it means “these specific people” or even “I”. Occasionally it prefaces an entirely made up assertion, but if there was really a group of GOP opinion makers who were ready to go public with their disdain for the “Right wing”, it would be very specific, to add weight to the charge.
In other words, it would say “Joe Scarborough and his fishing buddies complained over Gin and Tonics at the 19th hole that they were tired of having to suck up to the right wing to get elected as Republicans nowadays.”
“Some Pornstars frightened by the size of Lost My Cookies”
“Some Fortune 500 CEO’s willing to forgive LMC for freaking everyone the fuck out yesterday”
Steve Stivers lost to Mary Jo “Corrupt Bitch-hole” Kilroy by 0.5% in 2008.
He beat her handily in 2010.
Methinks he feels safe in 2012.
He shouldn’t.
Schumer sums it up.
Yes, you see, the moral thing to do is to borrow from our grandchildren to fund the abortions of our children.
You got to have a big brain and plenty of credentials to achieve that level of morality.
This is a good thing. I think.
Politico is also a HuffPuff lite, trying to frame the issue. But it is true, those pramatic GOPers are out there.
Dear GOP: bring it. Without OUR Candidates and OUR donations you’re nothing but a letterhead.
Yeah, GOP — that’s the ticket: party like it’s 2006.
Shitheads.
If they don’t want our support, and they can’t get union support, who is it that will support them when campaign season starts anew?
I guess I overestimated the progress we made in 2010. All the more reason to make sure 2012 hurts the bastards even worse.
The GOP didn’t understand the root cause of the progress. That will be their undoing. None of them should feel safe.
The stupid party, indeed.
“If they don’t want our support, and they can’t get union support, who is it that will support them when campaign season starts anew?”
I think they’re banking on “immigrants”
Do they also want to be the president of China?
Rush played a short audio clip from Krauthammer on the topic of the (good) R’s voting against the bill because it didn’t cut deeply enough.
Dr. K opined that the new-blood R’s were pushing too hard, and that shutting down the Govt. would hurt the Republican party. At least, I think so. Perhaps he was saying that “that’s what the establishment GOP is saying”, and it wasn’t his take on it, per se. Who knows.
Which prompted me to yell “who the fuck cares about hurting the Republican party, there’s a goddamned country to save!”.
Understand that I listen to Rushbo in headphones while I’m out doing my walking. I assume my neighbors think of me as “that crazy guy who walks around the neighborhood muttering and/or screaming crazy Tea Party talk at random, seemingly for no reason whatsoever.”
But fuck ’em.
Here is that Podcast of our local radio station interviewing Herman Cain that I promised the other day.
You have to get through a couple of minutes of introduction first, but Cain is there, honest.
I’d feel some sort of hope ‘cept for the State of Utah has voted amnesty for illegal aliens and kiboshed reasonable public scrutiny of the workings of our state government.
I left the Republicans when they left me, but I’m going to caucuses this year on the off chance I can deliver a disrespectful “fuck YOU” to my state senator and representative.
The Tea Party in Utah is active and organized but I don’t think we are able to run a state wide slate by any means.
This state is supposedly the most “conservative” in the Union.
We are living in the Crazy Years.
It’s almost an even split: half the people in America love O’Sputnik; t’other half not so much. By November 2012, he’ll have cranked out a massive ‘Community Organized’, SEIU-greased get-out-the-vote billion-dollar-funded monster re-election campaign drive that may very well splinter our as-yet unknown McCaindidate through the floor joists. We’ve got two long, hot summers to survive, and I’m not talking about just the weather.
Tea Party, don’t fail us now.
