DeLay Says 'Democrats Unfit To Lead' - 'Irrational hatred of Bush'

[Maple]

"The national Democrat Party seems to have lost its marbles," DeLay, R-Texas, said as he announced that Republicans are no more on the defensive, but are launching a counter-attack against Democratic criticism of the war in Iraq.

DeLay said the criticism was born of pure partisan hate, void of logic or reason.

"Their single organizing philosophy is an irrational, all-encompassing broiling hatred of George W. Bush," DeLay said. "Most of all, Democrats hate the president because on every political issue of significance since he came to office, he has beaten them like rented mules."

:puke:

[Trajan]

3. Bring M'on ! .....

The Pest of Texas autta know about hatred and vilification ...... That asshole cornered the market YEARS ago ......

To have to listen to Tom Delay for lessons on bipartisan understanding is the joke of the year .....

FUCK you Tom ... BRING ON the hate ! .....

[Flubadubya]

48. The lights are coming up...

and the cockroach is running scared. They just hate the light, you know, especially this one.

There is no viler politician in D.C, 'cept maybe Cheney. :puke:

[Gman]

4. Sounds like control of the insane asylum

is held by the patients.

[Dover]

5. LOL! I suppose their own deep hatred for Clinton, The Bill of Rights

For Women, Gays, Minorities, The Poor, Foreign Governments and our beloved Constitution is rational?

[Salviati]

6. wait a minute...

Our hatred is irrational because he lied us into war?

Our hatred is irrational because his policies have given us the highest unemployment rates since the great depression?

Our hatred is irrational because he is protecting the nation that has the strongest ties with the terrorists that attacked us?

Our hatred is irrational because his administration is destroying the bill of rights?

Our hatred is irrational because he has squandered the goodwill that the world poured out after the attacks of September 11?

I get it now, our hatred is irrational because * didn't do something as unforgiveibly evil as get a blowjob, I mean that would be inexcusable, impeachable even. The rest is nothing but small potatos...

[htuttle]

7. More projection

"I'm not crazy! YOU'RE crazy!"

[lkinsale]

8. Projection

DeLay is always a classic example of projection. Whatever HE feels, he projects onto his enemies.

Iraq is not a screw-up that can be swept under the rug by "counter-attacks." They either make a shining democracy out of the place, or they fail. They took this gamble, and they'll live or die on it. He'd better get used to the idea that reality bites.

[tomp]

28. projection is an undeniable pattern of republicans.

it is my firm belief that they are all insane.

[bpilgrim]

9. i hope he gets a lot of coverage

the more desperate these fools get the more damage they do to the reTHUG party.

who is gonna want to be associated with these extremist?

we need to paint the picture - since they are helping - of what they are RADICAL, EXTERMIST, who RUSH into things.

the american public wont go for that.

we need to remain calm cool and collected and just let them foam at the mouth, works every time in debate in front of a broad audience :evilgrin:

peace

[unfrigginreal]

10. Delay is enough rationalization for hatred of all Repukes. n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. And I guess

he'd say all the military families who are slowly realizing they've been shafted by this Administration are also going marbles as well. When The Army Times comes out against what you are doing, when military families start organizations like Bring Them Home Now (www.bringthemhomenow.org), you can't keep saying it's cheap politics.

[Cocoa]

12. this is where Clinton's genius comes in

I hope Clinton keeps making appearances from time to time, just to remind people who's fit to lead and who the real haters are.

[Sophree]

19. Yeah and what about

the irrational hatred of Clinton by the right?

How are they going to explain THAT, now that they've opened that can of worms?

[rasputin1952]

13. DeLay is one of the biggest morons in the GOP...

He has a safe seat, so he spouts off like the $3 dollar whore he is.

I don't think too many people outside of his district pay much attention to him. I am of the thoought that those iin his district are as stupid as he is, and just as filled with hate. His vitriole sits well with the un-educated masses, and he is a a troll waiting under the bridge,

If it were up to me, I'd have him in stocks outside the capitol, and hand out rotting produce to those who pass by.

[Pallas180]

17. hE HAS A LOT OF POWER IN cONGRESS and is feared . by his own

one nasty piece of work

he engineeered the attempted arrest of the dems in Texas
using Homeland Secuirty and tht caused an uproar because
they are not supposed to be used that way.

Then Bill Thomas thought he'd pull a DeLay on the Dems in
the Ways and Means Committee and have them arrested.
Charlie RAngel stood up to them . And Pelosi said "you're not
going to pull a DeLay on us.

With some luck and some reality, some of the moderte republicans
may see what is really happening (like the pharma vote) and not
vote with the bloc.

[tomp]

27. the congress of the united states...

...is no place for fear. any representative who fears other representatives doesn't belong there. one cannot defend the constitution, as i believe they are sworn to do, if they are afraid of tom delay. hell, they should oppose him all the more if they are afraid of him. laboring under fear is no way to do constituional business. they should kick his ass back under whatever rock he crawled out from under.

[Dimsdale]

35. Whoa..He wouldn't want to be back under that rock..

..with all the millipedes and family of other insects he wasted during his tour of duty as Captain Extermo. That payback would be hell indeed.

[rasputin1952]

37. I agree...

fear is the last emotion that should be in Congress. I have been fortunate in not falling to fear in the past, and I will not allow it to control me in the future. Now...if we can just get Congress to realize that their fear is unjustified, they might cesure idiots like DeLay.

A fool, no matter how well dressed, is still a fool. Delay is a fool.

[tomp]

52. delay is more than a fool

he is a fascist thug, pure and simple.

[rasputin1952]

36. Power, in Congress or...

anywhere else, is transient. He has power because he either has a lot of inside info on others in Congress or he is remakably adept at getting things done against the odds. The latter has no credibility, so the former must be the reason.

The nation views Delay as a moron with a big mouth. Unfortunately, his constiuents do not seem to see this.

DeLay will fall on his own lies and distortions. He is a worm, and once exposed, he will be more of an embarassment than he already is.

I feel that the whole, 'gentleman from (name your district)', is the most politically correct tripe there is. The men and women of Congress need to call it like they see it. The 'pugs have had it their way for far to long. While I like civility, it is wrong to be civil when you're being assaulted by spiteful creatures that use your own civility and manners against you. There is nothing wrong with calling it as you see it, in whatever terms you choose...that is what free speech is all about. The GOP has had a hold on abuse for far too long, they need a dose of their own medicine.

[ClintonTyree]

34. My question.................

WHY does he have a safe seat? Are the people in his congressional district all slack-jawed, mouth breathing, booger eating morons? The man is a disgrace to Texas, the entire human race for that matter.

[rasputin1952]

38. I belive yoou've hit the nail on the head...

I'm sure the intellectual capacitiess of those in his district, are seriously disabled.

As long as he sends Fed $ to his district though, he will be safe.

[Dimsdale]

39. Curt Weldon is our rep. here...

in southeastern Pa. I like to think we're not intellectually disabled here. I've no reason to vote for Weldon, but why would his supporters here re-elect him if he all he does is fall in lockstep behind DeLay. Isn't there any outrage with these people? Guess not.

[rasputin1952]

49. Federal $ trumps honor and dignity every time...

rather than lose a dollar, they keep voting these people in.

Of course, there are those that believe these guys are actually good at what they do.

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Look who's talking

The Bugman's been sniffing his own product again.

[DagmarK]

15. sounds like *someone* is jealous he didn't get FRUITCAKES

mailed to him!!

We better send him something extra, extra special.

Maybe......hmmmmmm, let's see, what could we send to DeLay (in large quantities)?

Rented Donkey Puckey!!!

[ninkasi]

16. Somewhere in the sewer of his soul...

there might, once, have been something approaching human. His own hatred and evil have now taken over, though, and I would take his criticism of me as a Democrat as a compliment.

He is a perfect example of the destruction of the qualities that should distinguish humanity. He has poisoned himself with his own venom, and is no longer capable of living anything resembling a human life. He is an example of what the Republican party is becoming, with their irrational, vicious hatred of minorities, women, any religion other than fundamentalist Christian, and the pursuit of anything other than money, and controlling other people's lives.

I would prefer to be stuck by lightening, than to think any thought, or perform any deed, that would meet with his approval.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. What about the Repubs irrational hatred of everyone?

[Phoenixtongueof fire]

43. The Republican Party hasn't been rational since.........

Abraham Lincoln was breathing.
As for disgracing Texas, Texas is already disgraced itself to the point that one would be hard put to disgrace it any further.
And, might I add, Delay did not come out from under a rock. He was a former inhabitant of the sub-basement of a outhouse. He took all his shit with him when he went to Washington, DC. He and Bush use it in place of sand in the sand box.

Now that is what I would called rational hatred.........

nuf said?

[Snellius]

20. If he weren't so stupid, DeLay'd know how crazy he is.

Did this nutcase ever take psych 1A? He should check out the chapter on projection. If not paranoid schizophrenia. Bush at least has justly earned his disgrace, unlike Clinton whom DeLay loathed for everything he lacked in himself.

[w4rma]

21. That's Democrat*IC* Party you condensending jerk, DeLay! (n/t)

[Maple]

22. It always astonishes me

the kinds of things people say in the political arena in the US.

If someone in a similar position said anything like this in Canada, he'd immediately be written off...permanently...for anything remotely serious...except early retirement.

[jafap]

23. hoist by his own picard

Before Bush took office he said he would lead in a bipartisan manner, that he was a uniter, not a divider. Did he keep his word?

Not according to Tom Delay:

"Most of all, Democrats hate the president because on every political issue of significance since he came to office, he has beaten them like rented mules."

If you value integrity and civility, do not vote for Bush.

I think "did he keep his word?" needs to be the question of the campaign, and do some digging in JR's old campaign ads.

[polmaven]

24. He apparently hates not only humans,

but all living things.

Most of us would use the term "beat them like a drum", but this psycho obviously finds no more problem with abuse of animals than with abuse of human beings.

Another Compassionate Conservative! It's a comfort, dontcha think?

[Forkboy]

25. Sorry Tom

my hatred is completely rational.

[PurityOfEssence]

26. Lest we forget, there is such a thing as RATIONAL hatred

Take away all the selfishness, meanness, shrill hatred, religious certainty and fear of the different and just look at Republican models for the economy, foreign policy and civil liberties.

With no prejudice and as complete objectivity as one can muster, it's obvious that their paradigms JUST DON'T WORK.

Funny how fundies who're firmly convinced that man is such a scurrilous and sinful creature that without the fear of retaliation of eternal hellfire he'd never "do the right thing", yet corporations should be trusted to do so without any non-elective regulation. That makes no sense at all.

Unregulated capitalism will devolve quickly into feudalism with a permanent underclass and overlords wielding all control. Such societies cannot endure; it will evolve or come to bloody revolution.

The foreign policy of fucking everyone and forcing them to toe the line doesn't work when you're outnumbered 24 to 1, as we are in the world's population. No amount of money or technology can fix that, and the best that can be hoped for is a low-level insurgency until the end of time.

Denying civil liberties will always backfire; the genie's out of the bottle and gays, non-believers and others will simply never tolerate going back. Corporate denial of free trade by buffering large coroprations against competition will not be tolerated.

They will fail simply because they are wrong, but unless we want it to get truly awful before people rise up, it's gonna take some serious fighting.

[tomp]

29. belief in or support of bush is insane.

one cannot be mentally healthy AND support bush. the two are mutually exclusive. it is a sign of rationality, not irrationality, to oppose bush. i wish more dems were so rational.

[JohnKleeb]

30. and Delay thinks they are more fit to lead

:wtf:
Tom if you become the town ass I would be proud of you.

[TankLV]

51. Well, THAT would be a "step up".

Gotta love Judy Tenuta.

Whatever happened to her?

Loved this one (paraphrasing ALOT);

Met a drunk at the bar the other nite:

Said: "How'd you like to go back to my place?"

She said "I'd like some a little higher-up the food chain"

He replies: "I've been told I'm an animal in bed"

"Well, that's a step up, isn't it?!"

[whoYaCallinAlib]

31. Who listens to anything DeLay says?

Why should we care what an irrational ideologue has to say about our party? Whose mind would he change with his diatribe? Tune him out!

[mlawson]

32. delay is unfit to be loose in public, w/o handcuffs, shackles and a muzzle

n/t

[Lefty48197]

33. it used to be that nuts like DeLay wouldn't get a forum for their vitriol

Now, the most psycho of the right wingers become their leaders. I am so glad that I am not a Republican. I could never explain myself to God or to children.

[ShaneGR]

40. Arrogance

Has driven them nuts. Bring it on Tom!

[aquart]

41. Bush loathing is a demonstration of rationality.

Anyone who doesn't hate Bush is likely incapable of rational thought.

[thermodynamic]

42. Well Dems, that's what you get for openly supporting * in the past

So wake up, duh! Some of you in Congress are though, and it's about time too.

[naughtybutnice]

44. Oh well........

They say the best defense is a good offense, and I can't deny that Republicans have been pretty offensive lately;-)

[ButterflyBlood]

45. some crap from DeLay on FAUX

not even worth a grain of salt.

[JanMichael]

46. DeLay is f'ing crazy. "A Handmaid's Tale" is his idea of a "good" future.

I have ZERO respect for anything that "man" has to say. ZERO. He is the worst sort of human being to hold office, period.

Reprehensible.

[MODemocrat]

47. Doesn't he have a few bugs he could go exterminate?

DeLay is such a big joke; he knows that the republicans despise Bill and Hillary Clinton with everything in them. They don't even seem to realize that neither one of them is running for president (yet).
The right wingers can dish it out, but they just can't take it back.

[Mari333]

50. Bug Boy

[opihimoimoi]

53. Rented Mules?? Typ Pub remark, use and abuse is their thing

To cover their Pub failings, those pesky Pubs resort to lying, cheating, and theft.

They come to DU to lessen its power.

They attempt to kill off any and all opposition to their agendas.

The Pubs are not for the masses. das fer shure.

[Kanola]

54. Those repugs sure love projecting what is going on with them

Everytime I read something from "Delayed" I just think "Oh.. you are referring to yourself and your party but placing blame on the Dems". Everything he says about Dems are about what the repugs are doing. Stupid bug exterminater.
