Newt thinks 8 years + 1 month = “Bush-Obama Plan”
Newt Gingrich is an asshat.
I think he’s probably also a fucktard, certainly a fuckwit as well.
On the other hand, it’s kinda fun to watch conservatives freak out, whatever form it ends up taking.
Good times.
I see this as Republicans trying desperately to keep their hats in the political arena. If it takes linking Obama to Bush, then you do it. You do whatever it takes. You’re so far out of the picture at this point, you get creative.
Actually, it is asshat day, of a sort. This is the Conservative Political Action Conference, this is goon day, this is the day when all the Republicans get together with guys who consider Pubbies to be far, far too liberal. And they all drop ginormous hits of acid and chug cough syrup, and just let 'er rip!
The tough part is clamoring for attention, its like trying to be weird enough to attract attention when its full moon in Hollywood.
And CPAC is the free base of the base. A moderate like Johnny Mac has no place there, they don’t want red meat, they want raw meat, ripped from the skeleton with their teeth, washed down with an Everclear and Nyquil cocktail. Anybody planning to line up the debase behind their future aspirations had better be there, or be relegated to the wussy wing of the party.
But its all worth it to hear Ms. Bachman (R, Batshit) say to “Mad Mike” Steele “You be da man! You be da man!” Laugh? I thought I’d surely die!
“[Sen. Jim] DeMint, a fierce opponent of government expansion, told the CPAC crowd that conservatives might have to “take to the streets to stop America’s slide into socialism.”
The post partisans at the Washington Post managed the perfect merger of creative and stupid today:
The Deficit Is Obama’s Now
Eight years of the Irresponsibilty President, and now the mere mention of a new budget absolves the entire GOP of reponsibility too.
I suppose there are a few people in the country dumb enough to believe shit like this, but surely they can’t be allowed to vote?
Now, Lord, I know I haven’t been all that good a Chrisitan, middlin’ to fair is about as good as I can claim. But if you’ll just let me live to see the Republicans taking to the streets to get whacked in the head by Oakland cops… I’ll give up vices and sins I haven’t even contemplated yet! I’ll live a life of celibacy in principle, and not just by popular demand! My first born is negotiable as sacrifice, and I will give up Bar B Q. Some Bar B Q. Stuff from north of Dallas.
Hypocrisy, the almighty god of the current Republican party.
You only have to remember one thing about Newt. He was doing everything he could to get a President impeached for sexual impropriety while he (as third in line for the Presidency) was conducting a blatant extra-martial affair.
There are CPAC attendees running around Washington today in hats that say “POOP”.
If we can just get em to move to Oakland, they’d probably get whacked for that sort of potty-talk.
Republicans, given the good common sense the good lord gave to a bellwether, will choose something like Salt Lake City for their convention in 2012.
They probably need a breather after the going to the all-out, no holds barred Sin City that is St. Paul, Minnesota. They rock there, kamikaze commando style. Until you’ve seen a Southern Baptist Republican doing the Funky Chicken to a band named “Hookers and Blow” - you haven’t lived. And if itdoesn’t kill you, you’ll live forever.
That which does not kill me hurts like a sonovabitch.
I was thinking of Baton Rouge but Jindal may have blown that opportunity the other night. What about Gulfport, Mississippi? They have casinos there (unlike SLC) and they need the revenue. It’s a safe place for 'Pubs.
I dunno. I, a Democrat, was actually fed breakfast in the Gulfport, Mississippi jail one morning in 1972. 'Course, I was driven to the county line shortly thereafter, and politely invited to find somewhere in Louisiana to hitchhike to.
Gulfport isn’t all bad. It just kind of got trashed by Katrina and it’s been a little rough. Like I said, it needs the revenue.
Oh, I hope you don’t think you’re gonna get away with that! C’mon, give, what’d ya do? Shoot a man in Shreveport just to watch him die?
Nah, just the typical “we don’t want you wandering our town at night.” I was put in jail overnight, fed breakfast, and kicked to the county line in the morning. It was not the first time, nor the last time, that sort of thing happened to me during my travelling days. Have I told you about when the cops held me at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo? Then cut me loose, and the farmer whose yard I was held in gave me a ride to the next town while asking, “What the fuck was that all about?”
Perhaps I’ve said too much.
Oh. Bed and breakfast, then?
I just want to know when and where. I will buy each cop a beer, if they whack some wingnuts on the noggin.
What happened to the “This is Amurrica. Support teh Prezeedunt cuz he is teh Prezeedunt and if you don’t yer a goldurn traitor”?
My my how things have changed. America, love it or leave it. My country right or wrong. Blind obedience is a virtue.
I finally get to throw it back atcha… Ya don’t like it, GET OUT.
Frank tells a charming tale of life on the road.
Luci piles snark onto the pile he’s already dropped in this thread. (BTW, dude, you’re a “Guest” now? Cheapskate!)
Have I mentioned how much I love you guys?
I just know that there are honest, rational people who believe in the stated ideals of the Republican Party, and I’m so sad for them and for the country as whole that they have no choice but to hide in shame at what their party has become. I feel for them, I truly do.
