Good thing I'm not a proper GOP booster blogger

— ‘Cause those guys have their work cut out for them these days…

Perhaps if they speak in dulcet tones, use “helpful,” carefully-crafted and PC-vetted language, and remind us of our forthcoming return to “power” — wherein nothing much will change, save for the party designation doing the spending and the promoting of their own peculiar vision of necessary statism — all will be well!

Unicorns!

  1. T+T says:

    Why aren’t there any Republicans in the GOP any more?

  2. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I think of Republicans as gryphons. And when spring is in the air, and the thoughts of unicorns and gryphons turn to bipartisanship, ofttimes the result is a chimera.

  3. DarthRove says:

    T+T, I’d extend your question to ask why there aren’t any people not in love with the taste of their own shit in the GOP any more?

  4. Jeff Y. says:

    Now the RNC is allegedly defrauding conservatives. The RNC is a RINO factory. Time for a strike.

    The RNC has got to go. It’s run by country-club Republicans who represent the statist establishment not conservatives.

    Ever wonder why you can’t get a real conservative on the national ballot? The RNC. Wonder why the Republican Party supports liberals in northeastern states? The RNC. Wonder why we need an outside-the-GOP Tea Party to represent conservatives? The RNC.

    The RNC establishment has got to go. Now, please.

  5. BJTexs says:

    Oh, goody! While all of us are rallying around the idea of a tidal wave of fiscal sanity washing over the November election the brandy sippers at the RNC can’t even keep their own fiscal house in order.

    Inspiring confidence, they are!

    What’s next? Tom Delay and his crew will be brought in to bring “fiscal sanity and corporate Caribbean golf outings” to the Republican hierarchy? I suspect the auditor will be banished to the Fairbanks office where he’ll be tasked with looking up unreported expenses by the Palin family … and in charge of buying a wedding gift for Bristol and dumass Levi. A high end hunting knife, maybe.

    Sorry but this really … pisses … me … off.

  6. cranky-d says:

    You’re not a GOP booster blogger? I… I had no idea.

    The not so funny thing is, many of them will eventually reach their limit and come around to your (dare I say our?) way of thinking. When that happens, they’ll act as if they figured it out all by themselves.

    Many, of course, will continue to capitulate no matter what, because they are pussies.

  7. cranky-d says:

    If you want to stop the RNC, stop giving them money, and tell them why you won’t give them money. If you want to donate, donate to candidates directly.

  8. happyfeet says:

    that’s corruption

  9. happyfeet says:

    there are a lot of self-styled would-be leaders what support this Steele piece of shit and it’s time to start calling them on it

  10. I dream of the GOP restoring fiscal sanity to government, but then I remember them folding like cheap lawn chairs during the budget battle of 1995 amidst all the whining over “cuts” to school lunch programs et al.

  11. BJTexs says:

    I’d say that they are in love with the apple-wood paneled offices, the taste of Corvasier and those big fish outings off of Cabo.

    I’m gonna get creamed for this statement but: Without excusing every excess of the last several weeks, I really do see, buried in all that, happyfeet’s point about “princess” and “cowardly” Republicans screwing up the process. I’d add “corrupt” and “weasily collegial” to that list.

    INCOMING!!

  12. bh says:

    Because it is worth repeating.

  13. george smiley says:

    Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos, ahem Blackwell. But you have to figure this is not Steele’s shoulders alone, that passel of ‘rocket surgeons’ some call “the Clique” who spent last spring and summer denouncing
    the tea parties, who now steer the likes of the Whitman campaign, into the shoals of defeat against Governor Moonbeam, yes those geniuses need to take a bow

  14. george smiley says:

    Btw, it’s the same crew, that discovered the ‘wardrobe issue’ during the campaign, and either didn’t know
    the facts, or deliberately lied about how they were purchased and returned. We have the same crew in Florida that spent about 2 million dollars in non camapaign related expenses in Florida, wonder why we
    lost the state, including Charlie’s precious I-4 corridor

  15. BJTexs says:

    Well, george, I’ll tell ya what. If those RINO douch-bags in California can’t beat Jerry “he never exhaled” Brown then we should all place orders with Squid and Cranky-D for pitchforks and tar and cudgels and drive the lot of them into the sea.

    The ones that survive the trip, of course.

  16. cranky-d says:

    I’m thinking of coming out with some “Election Special” cudgels. I understand the Squid company is working on a premium line of tar and feathers. Business is booming.

    If you want to stop the RNC, stop giving them money, and tell them why you won’t give them money. If you want to donate, donate to candidates directly.

    Done, done, and done.

  18. I thought the GOP lacked cojones back in the day. It is much worse now.

  19. DarthRove says:

    …tar and feathers

    Speaking of, I wonder what the effect (and possible criminal liability) would be of a virtual tar and feathering. I.e, sending a fax containing nothing but the word TAR (either in huge page-filling font, or repeated a la The Shining), then sending another fax reading FEATHERS.

  20. Mikey NTH says:

    The national parties may get attention, but they really aren’t important. The true power lies at the county and state level where the candidates and most of their aides come from. Change has to be done through capturing the local parties, giving you control of the state parties. Concentrating on the RNC is looking at a top-down solution, and that will not occur because the source of the problem has not been addressed. The RNC will change when the state parties put the pressure on it to change.

  21. irongrampa says:

    Yes indeed Mikey–and that is a tough job,because the “good old boy” clique at this level is as solidly entrenched. Damn near takes the threat of physical force to make a change. It CAN be done, but shitfire, it DO be difficult.

  22. george smiley says:

    Well Mikey, as I’ve pointed out take a look at the state party down here, formerly headed by Greer, now in jail selected by Crist, they were the ones who signaled the RNC to endorse Charmin Charlie a year before the primary despite the membership’s objections

  23. LTC John says:

    #20 – darn right. I have had enough of the asshats around my township. I am going to become a precinct committee-creature either this Fall, or next primary. Enough.

  24. Mikey NTH says:

    I didn’t say it would be easy, did I? But complaining about the RNC and the good-old-boy cliques in the state and county parties isn’t going to feed the bulldog. If you are serious about wanting to change things then you have to get active locally, and then in the state party. You have to do this, because it won’t change unless the people inside are pushing that change.

    Yes, you will get push-back – I believe I said in the Ryan thread that Business As Usual does not like threats because those who are invested in the business do not want to see their livelihoods and power going away. But that is the only answer, and would be the advice I would give to any tea partier – infiltrate and hijack the local and state party apparatuses.

  25. sdferr says:

    The AP still knows how it’s done:

    The rampage was the nation’s deadliest since 13 people were fatally shot at Fort Hood, Texas, last November. A military psychiatrist is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in that case.

  26. Pablo says:

    If you want to stop the RNC, stop giving them money…

    Stop?

  27. LBascom says:

    Complain all you want, I’m basking in a warm glow inspired by our wonderful California legislature today. The state may be broke, working on month two of no budget, and looking at a governor race that is a mirror image of the premo candidate choice of the last presidential election, but finally, finally I say, the critical and crucial grocery bag emergency has been addressed. No more plastic bags for us! No more free paper bags either. I’m so proud…

  28. happyfeet says:

    “He wanted to say goodbye and he loved everybody,” said Joanne Hannah, whose daughter Kristi had dated Thornton for eight years.

  29. Pablo says:

    I raise a glass in your direction, Lee, and I celebrate having left California a decade ago.

  30. BJTexs says:

    Hah, Pablo, and moved to Massachusetts/Rhode Island. Bravo!

  31. happyfeet says:

    even Schwarzenhomo wouldn’t sign that… would he?

  32. happyfeet says:

    California could become the first state in the nation to ban plastic shopping bags, a move that has the support of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.*

    oh.

  33. BJTexs says:

    It’s the carbons, ‘feets, the evil, evil carbons. Bankruptcy and misery pales in comparison.

  34. Jeff G. says:

    If they ban plastic bags here, I’ll begin dumping my garbage in the street.

  35. happyfeet says:

    yes and did you see where Smeg is opposed to offshore drillings? And she thinks she’s qualified to be governor.

    This is not the way you coax a little pikachu to the polls.

  36. cranky-d says:

    I’ll be visiting my father in CA in a few weeks. I shall endeavor not to offend the locals with my flyover country ways.

  37. cranky-d says:

    BTW, I used to just throw garbage in the can, but we got a notice saying I was REQUIRED to bag all my trash. So, I’m doing my part to send more plastic to the landfill.

  38. Jeff G. says:

    I read something a while back about how those re-usable bags our government thinks is best to schlep to the store with you each time you go (heaven forfend you decide at the last minute to go — and have to shell out money for bags you’re going to toss out anyway) are creating a health risk because nobody washes the things.

    Dead people are good for the environment, I guess.

  39. Maggie katzen says:

    No plastic bags? What will people put cat crunchies in?

  40. happyfeet says:

    or porn

  41. ak4mc says:

    If they ban plastic bags here, I’ll begin dumping my garbage in the street.

    The correct word is “divest.”

  42. Jeff G. says:

    I’m beginning to think we should all just laugh at this stuff and engage in widespread civil disobedience.

    “So, what are you in here for, Bruno?”
    “I killed fifteen people with a chainsaw, then I ate them. You?”
    “I insisted on small plastic bags to carry my groceries in. AND I’D DO IT AGAIN, TOO, SO BEST NOT TO FUCK WITH ME!”

  43. Pablo says:

    Hah, Pablo, and moved to Massachusetts/Rhode Island. Bravo!

    Crazy, ain’t it? But it’s just RI and I can be outta here in 15 minutes if I need to be.

  44. bh says:

    So, just to be clear, you’re not Bruno is this scenario, right?

  45. DarthRove says:

    So it’s about 25 years from: Plastic grocery bags are goodgoodgood for Gaia, and you’re an evilevilevil person if you don’t use them

    to: Plastic grocery bags are badbadbad for Gaia, and you’re an evilevilevil person if you do use them.

    I wish 4 out of 5 scientists would make up their minds.

  46. sdferr says:

    That would be funny, Oregon or Nevada border towns suddenly noticing a pick-up in Californians buying blackmarket bulk plastic bags for resale in the idiot state.

  47. pdbuttons says:

    heard that martin sheen recently duct tadpe his mouth and put a plastic bag over his head in protest but he’s still alive/to protest another day

  48. happyfeet says:

    Plastic bags are recycled into many different products. Most plastic bags are recycled into composite lumber but can also be reprocessed into small pellets, or post consumer resin, which can become feed stock for a variety of products such as new bags, pallets, containers, crates, and pipe.*

    so Schwarzenhomo and his dirty socialist friends are destroying two industries actually.

    Awesome.

  49. pdbuttons says:

    what are eccentric recluse billionaires gonna wear on their feet if plastic bags are outlawed?

  50. happyfeet says:

    bread bags might would work maybe

  51. cranky-d says:

    Yeah, because Martin Sheen’s dissent is being quashed. Please. What a bunch of loons.

  52. happyfeet says:

    I’ve never tried.

  53. BJTexs says:

    I have a bunch of reusable grocery bags from various stores. I’m OK with choosing to be environmentally responsible but it’s not the most important reason why I chose to go in this direction. Frankly, they hold more stuff, are easier to carry and easier to load/unload.

    BECAUSE OF THE CHOICE!

    Just as Jeff may choose to throw his trash in the street … and the neighborhood may choose to burn down his house … or sumthin.

  54. ak4mc says:

    and the neighborhood may choose to burn down his house

    That was an accident.

    And the neighborhood didn’t do it.

    And it wasn’t his house anymore.

    And why is everybody looking at me like that?

  55. BJTexs says:

    J’Accuse!!

  56. LBascom says:

    You misunderstand. It’s just the bags they pack your groceries in. The plastic garbage bags you use for putting all the plastic packaging in are cool I guess.

  57. Squid says:

    Kleenex boxes make good slippers. Of course, disposable tissues will be outlawed next.

    Very soon, *all* restaurants will be Taco Bell!

  58. BJTexs says:

    Don’t kid yourself, LBascom. One or two of the transcendent geniuses sitting in Sacramento will, eventually, come to the conclusion that if one category of plastic bags is evil, they must all be evil.

    It’s the consequence of no critical thinking skills and a delusional view of how things should work.

  59. Jeff G. says:

    You misunderstand. It’s just the bags they pack your groceries in. The plastic garbage bags you use for putting all the plastic packaging in are cool I guess.

    No, I don’t misunderstand. We have lots of little trashcans — in the bathrooms, in the office, in the bedrooms — that we line with those grocery bags. Our way of getting multiple uses out of them.

    So without a way to constrain that garbage, I’ll just dump all that shit in the street, instead.

  60. cranky-d says:

    I forgot about using those plastic market bags for trashcan liners. That’s what my father and sister do. I guess they, like many, will end up buying other plastic bags to do that job.

    So many legislators are too stupid to breath.

  61. happyfeet says:

    I haven’t bought trash bags in like a decade cause my apartment is very close to the trash chute but I think I have enough what haven’t been recycled to last a good while except if I move to a new place that doesn’t have a trash chute then that’s different… it will be change.

    Change is gay.

  62. cranky-d says:

    In the world of a legislator, there are no unintended consequences. If there are, they can pass even more laws to fix that. Win-win!

  63. DarthRove says:

    I forgot about using those plastic market bags for trashcan liners

    We do that too. It’s the “Reuse” part of that “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” mantra the Watermelons are proliferating. But in this case what we’re using to “reuse” is, I guess, Teh Hoor of Babbelon.

  64. newrouter says:

    what happen to the little taco bell dog? did he become a taco?

  65. pdbuttons says:

    saw a documentry about the seattle new world order and these two anachist lit a dumpster on fire/they were all dressed in black and looked like the ramones/and they lit the dumpster and pushed it down the street at the coppers and these two hippie old chicks were standing next to theem and asked them/ was there any plastic in that dumpster? cuz they were concerned about the toxic affects of burning plastic or something
    and the punks replied/ fuck off
    comedy gold i tell ya!

  66. LBascom says:

    Ah. Garbage bags, I see. Oh well, there’s still Target bags. And Walmart bags. And every other freak’in store that uses plastic bags. Just not those terrible nasty evil grocery bags. Those are right out.

  67. Ernst Schreiber says:

    California is too dain-bramaged to survive more than another decade or so. Some clever wordsmith out to get to work on an epic satire about the struggles of the Joad family and other Callies as they flee California for saner pastures in flyover country.

  70. newrouter says:

    shirley sherrod slave master:

    If confession is good for the soul, then Mrs. Sherrod took a first step toward her redemption by admitting the error of her ways in her earlier attitudes toward poor white farmers. Mrs. Sherrod says she began to see poverty as more central than race. So, should indigent black child farm laborers warrant less reflection by Mrs. Sherrod? What lessons does she have to share from her tenure as management when she had power over her own people working under deplorable conditions at the same New Communities, Inc.(NCI) identified in the current issue? Shirley Sherrod could have included this chapter of her history in the same confession speech. Justice and integrity require at least as much accountability from Mrs. Sherrod to the poor black farm workers of NCI as to the white farmers she came to befriend. This lack of full disclosure of the whole truth is a “sin of omission” that trivializes the suffering of poor black farm workers and exacerbates the offenses of NCI.

    Shirley Sherrod was New Communities Inc. store manager during the 1970s. As such, Mrs. Sherrod was a key member of the NCI administrative team, which exploited and abused the workforce in the field. The 6,000 acre New Communities Inc. in Lee County promoted itself during the latter part of the 1960s and throughout the 70s as a land trust committed to improving the lives of the rural black poor. Underneath this facade, the young and old worked long hours with few breaks, the pay averaged sixty-seven cents an hour, fieldwork behind equipment spraying pesticides was commonplace and workers expressing dissatisfaction were fired without recourse.

  75. Cold Warrior says:

    To all the commenters criticizing the RNC and demanding it changed, are any of you actually IN the Republican Party? That is, are you a precinct committeemen? Only precinct committeemen are eligible to vote for the Party leaders. Indirectly, they vote for the RNC delegates (state chairman and two RNC delegates from each state). “Mere” registered Republicans don’t have any say in these elections. Period.

    If you want to get into the real ball game of Republican politics, become a Republican Party precinct committeeman.

    Do you know the boundaries of your “political neighborhood,” your precinct?
    Know the names of any of your precinct’s precinct committeemen? (Might not be any — over HALF of these slots were vacant in the 2008 election cycle.)
    Know the name of your precinct?
    Know any of the Republicans who live in?
    Ever gone door-knocking in your precinct to help Get Out The Vote?

    It’s easy to become a PC. The “powers that be” inside the Party don’t want you to become one. Because if conservatives filled up all of the empty slots, they would, along with the existing conservatives in the Party PC ranks already, you’d have a strong majority of conservatives within the Party and we’d be able to elect conservative leaders at all levels — and the RNC chairman would then be a conservative.

    It’s vital that you get INSIDE the Party where the real ball game is played. It’s easy. It’s just good, old-fashioned American Civics — which, unfortunately, they haven’t been teaching in the public schools for decades.

    This is how RNC throws elections. THREW 1996 WITH Dole so Ken Starr could do sham impeachment on sex as planned and escape. All non-viable candidate squad for POTUS, “winner” calls Judge Ginsberg, great when she is grate ing on everyone’s nerves, her 90 in a row monochrome hires…many assumed she was doomed. We get a list of GOP senators who like Kegan…we have a list of punks to dump, in case we didn’t have them listed. RNC needs to be put on notice. NO MORE GAMES! We win with a conservative, they lose with the incumbent, when election cheat/union money fails to get them victory.

  100. JD says:

    I have some contacts with some of the big commercial builders, BMoe. Not many, as our paths do not cross often, but on some of the school projects, we work with large commercial builders within a larger overall project.

  101. B Moe says:

    Appreciate that. I work in the construction testing field, field grunt for civil engineering consultants. I like the company I work for here a lot and am pretty secure as far as that goes, but if there ain’t no work, there ain’t no work. And it is getting too fucking close for comfort.

    Therefore I shall explore my options, be as prepared as I can possibly be if I need to relocate, then if I do have to move to get a job I will listen to leftards tell me how lucky I am to be working.

  102. JD says:

    Do you have my email? If you know of any of the bigger players, I will be happy to find some contacts for you. It is really easy for me to do, and I can call on their athletics and school divisions while I am at it.

    it is funny. i work that job for awhile in the summer of ’01. the last big project before i quit was with a palestinian(arab) in oh. he was typical of a hamas attitude. i quit the week before 9/11. it was strange. but give me a wheel barrow and i am ready to go slumping and canisters. i liked crushing the bastards.

  113. B Moe says:

    A concrete pump operator one time called me the slump dick. I cracked up.

  114. B Moe says:

    Slump is a measure of how fluid the concrete is, an indicator of the water/cement ratio.

    More water = more slump = better workability = less strength.

    So finishers like adding water to make it easier to place but the owners and architects like less water to make it stronger. I am the owner/architect rep on site who makes sure it is done right and runs tests takes and takes samples to confirm it.

    Although I really don’t do a lot of concrete these days, more masonry, re-bar and soil testing.

  115. B Moe says:

    You can take that first take if you need to take a take.

    They get sent back to their yard (or dumping grounds, if they have such). I’ve heard though cannot confirm, that sometimes the drum gets dismounted and simply scrapped, to be replaced by a fresh drum. Otherwise, someone has to get in there and chip it out. As to the slab itself, oh the agony in this particular case, due to its having been a colored and planned aesthetic element, exposed from underneath as the ceiling of the pool room, and in some beam forms and columns as well. It was a pret big deal. So in the event they have to cut the slab back to good stuff, chip out all the doubtful stuff, set a joint and begin again (weeks later! good-bye schedule!) Then everyone goes to court.

  119. Pablo says:

    New stuff on Saint Shirley, victim of The Man:

    Imagine farm workers doing back breaking labor in the sweltering sun, sprayed with pesticides and paid less than minimum wage. Imagine the United Farm Workers called in to defend these laborers against such exploitation by management. Now imagine that the farm workers are black children and adults and that the managers are Shirley Sherrod, her husband Rev. Charles Sherrod, and a host of others. But it’s no illusion; this is fact.

    The swirling controversy over the racist dismissal of Shirley Sherrod from her USDA post has obscured her profoundly oppositional behavior toward black agricultural workers in the 1970s. What most of Mrs. Sherrod’s supporters are not aware of is the elitist and anti-black-labor role that she and fellow managers of New Communities Inc. (NCI) played. These individuals under-paid, mistreated and fired black laborers–many of them less than 16 years of age–in the same fields of southwest Georgia where their ancestors suffered under chattel slavery.

    Granted, it Counterpunch. But I suspect someone will be offering Mr. Wilkins some face time in short order. It seems fucking with black people is fine, as long as you’re the one holding the whip.

    The National Wildlife Federation released a letter from nine scientists and marine researchers concerned over reports that BP was requiring confidentiality clauses in research contracts with scientists, which would prevent them from releasing findings for three years.

    “BP is mounting a PR campaign suggesting that the environmental damage of the spill is over when we know that they have dumped millions of gallons of toxic dispersants to sink the oil out of sight, turning the Gulf into a toxic chemistry experiment,” said Jeremy Symons, senior vice president of the National Wildlife Federation.

    The letter, sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and incoming BP CEO Robert Dudley, demanded full public disclosure of all scientific data related to the disaster.*

    TAKE CARE NOT TO STEP IN THE IRONY

    WHEN AUTHOR David Halberstam wrote his account of what got this nation into Vietnam, he didn’t find that the architects of the war were obtuse or illogical or commie-obsessed or infatuated with American might. Instead, in Halberstam’s now iconic term that became the title of his best-selling book, they were “the best and the brightest” — a superior governing class that was the product of America’s best families, its most prestigious prep schools and universities, and most august law firms and investment banks. The irony is that these geniuses turned out to be so dangerously wrong that the very term “best and the brightest” became a sarcastic euphemism for a hubris that leads to disaster.

    This piece on Obama’s hubris at being one of the “best and brightest” was written by Neal Gabler, a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington.

    Woodrow Wilson. Our nation’s first “intellectual” president. And also a eugenicist, racist, and all-around evil man.

  223. JD says:

    bh either lied or misled you god fearing people. According to the people at Atlantic City Country Club, the term birdie was coined as follows …

    Birth of the Birdie

    Except for the whistle of a strong bay breeze, all fell quiet as Abner “Ab” Smith lined up his shot down the long twelfth fairway at the Atlantic City Country Club. It was late in the afternoon on a windy, but mild Saturday, a typical winter weekend outing for the group from suburban Philadelphia who frequented the Jersey Shore course when their home fairways were covered with snow.

    Smith slowly took up is backswing, then let go with a wallop, putting the ball on the green, inches from the hole allowing for an easy putt and a one-under-par for the hole. It was such a fine shot that someone in the group was moved to say it was a “bird of a shot.”

    With the putt, Smith won the hole in one-under-par, and because the players were playing for a ball-a-hole, they then agreed to double the wager on a hole where a golfer who hits such a “bird of shot” wins with a one-under-par “birdie.”

    Thus began a tradition at the club, and the coining of a new term. Visitors who learned of the local “birdie” tradition took it back to their home clubs and it eventually spread around the world. It would become universal in its meaning and usage.

    The term “birdie” is one word in the English language that can be traced back to the original moment in time and place when it was first used. Even the green where the celebrated first birdie occurred has been preserved for posterity. It’s the same hole where Ab Smith and is cronies made golf history, although they didn’t realize it at the time.

    “It’s all well documented,” assured Kenny Robinson, the long time caddymaster and pro shop manager.

    That the term “birdie” is of American origin or that it was coined at the Atlantic City Country Club is undisputed, though some of the details have shifted in the sands of time.

    Someone should also ask Gibbs about the Mexican Mafia implicitly verifying the illegal alien problem, at the least in terms of drug trafficking, by targeting Sheriff Joe Arpaio again via its $1 million contract. And, hey, isn’t that terrorism? Or even an act of war?

    Nah, probably “not illegal” or “it’s only war on Az.” or “not enough resources” or “we need comprehensive immigration reform” or “he started it” or “they’re just defending The Brown People” or “just because of teh raaaacism!”? “But maybe we could have a beer, eh?”

    continue the convo in a slow calm manner/ and i could see the asshole who rang the door trying/
    to sell me/ grift me getting all uncomfy like/ and i’d stare him/her in the face and go/ yes m’aam/ no’sir

    B Moe, check the zurichna.com career/jobs/opportunities section once a week – our Construction Defect group and or/Risk Engineering and similar groups hire every once in a while. Well, they would hire more if the building trade got moving a bit.

  242. Mr. W says:

    MO voters reject Obamacare 70 to 30?

    80% of NV Republicans say they are DEFINATELY going to vote?

    Chris Christie punks the much-touted SEIU muscle?

    The trends are looking rough for Big Government Incorporated.

    That Reichstag better hurry up and catch on fire.

  243. Joe says:

    RUSH: … Well, but, Bill, you know, as I study things today, you are now treated and received — and properly so — with great affection and great respect, and there are some who say that, “Oh, we wish for the old days of Buckley conservatism when it was urbane and erudite and polite.” They say that the modern era of conservatism has descended into harshness and other things.

    MR. BUCKLEY: Well, that’s a weapon. People use that when they want to be anti-Limbaugh. They will say, “Well, Limbaugh belongs in that school of polemical thought which really should be excluded.” They do that to Bill O’Reilly and, of course, they’ve done it to me in the past. I’m not saying that that criticism cannot be leveled. Sometimes it can be leveled, but to level it with the license that they use against you and O’Reilly, speaks to me of a different motivation. They want to argue with you by simply outlawing your voice on the grounds that it is eccentric and extreme. It is, as I say, simply a polemical device.

    RUSH: Rather than debating the issues, disqualify and discredit the voice, then, is the technique?

    MR. BUCKLEY: I think that’s true.

    Rush Link

  244. Joe says:

    But of course we never see that in the conservative movement now…

    Fuck off, willie the racist cousin fucking hilljack skin flute player. Swordfish style.

  247. bh says:

    FYI, Ram (aka Fox yesterday) is William Yelverton.

  248. JD says:

    Great minds, bh.

  249. JD says:

    You are just nicer than me.

  250. BJTexs says:

    The nutshell is your head, William.

    Oh and is Bart Stupak a hypocrite? Whoops, I’m sorry, he’s a Democrat. My bad! Only Republicans are subject to the position changing and the hang wringing. BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT EVILNESS!!!

    You are a parody of your own cartoon.

  251. Freedoms Truth says:

    RNC is not the Republican party.

    The Republican party is the millions of people who vote Republican.

    The RNC is a dysfunctional organization designed to GET people to vote Republican.

    Despite the worst efforts of the RNC, the GOP will have a good election in November.

  252. Squid says:

    Let’s cut the cousinfucker a little slack on this one — today’s GOP is a bunch of hypocritical little bitches who go back and forth on every issue depending on which way the wind blows.

    Let’s all give our favorite guitar player some well-earned thanks for pointing out the necessity of making sure at least one of our nation’s political parties has some principle to stand on. And let’s also thank him for the compliment of suggesting the GOP is the party more suited to being remade.
