You think things are ugly on the Dem side???

Just wait until the shit hits the fan with the Greedy Old Pricks, errr, GOP. McCain is LOATHED by the mouth-breathing talk radio types (I heard an excerpt with Rush Lardass and I thought he was slamming a Democrat). The far right rich folks want Romney, the far right religious whackos want Huckabee, and there's still a few lost souls pulling for the former mayor of NYC. And yet McCain is eeeking out a lead ... this could get extremely ugly, plus don't discount McCain's very bad temper.

Whatever is going on here will certainly be no worse than over there, and adding to the far right's headache will be that their convention is so late this year (September???)... I see a party that will be torn apart and in total disarray. Even if there's some hurt feelings and bad blood with the good guys, the GOP will be a soup sandwich.

I'm not telling anyone to get complacent, but just don't start freaking out until you've had a chance to observe the Repukes going at it ... I doubt there's been this unpleasant an intraparty squabble since the SS eliminated the SA (ironic, isn't it?).

1. They will pull on their jackboots and fall in line like good little right-wingers.

I see them rallying around their chosen fuhrer with little dissent.

6. Yes, we aren't the only ones who know how to "hold our nose and vote." In fact, they do it BETTER

than we ever do...ask Ralph Nader and his crowd of "I'm taking my ball and going home" idiots.

2. I Know It!

And I am loving it!:headbang:

3. I can't wait.

They have been amazingly polite to one another. Yeah, there are a few pointed endorcements but even those are mild in comparison to what BushCo did to McCaniac in 2000.

I know my conservative cousins who live in AZ can't stand McCain. I think they would stay home before voting for him in the General Election.

4. I listen to right wing talk on occasion and it's hysterical out there right

now. There is a contingent including Bill Kristol, Michael Medved, etc. who want all the right wing talkers to get behind McCain, because he's their best bet in the GE. Then you have Limbaugh, Levin, and that contingent getting all high and mighty, with tons of name-calling, who hate McCain. Evidently, someone has intimated that right wing talk radio has lost its "clout" to get anyone elected and that they are irrelevant. Boy, has that created a howling from that group.

It's amusing listening.

5. Does anyone have any links to GOP sites

to find out about their internal wrangling?

7. Perhaps if McCain wins the nomination, we'll see a third party candidate

Someone to represent the Nazi/Fundie wing of the Republican party

8. Bloomberg's name has been tossed around ...

but mostly as a counter to a Romney or Huckabee, if my memory serves me. Most of the other right wingers that have run before (Keyes, Forbes, Buchanan, et al) don't appear to be gearing up for a run right now. Bloomberg has the $$$ to be a factor, and he'll certainly drain off the WSJ wing of the party, but I'm not sure what it would take to get him to run (perhaps we can start a "concerned GOP voter" letter writing campaign ...).

If all else fails, I'd love to see one of the talk radio loonies take their gazzillion dollars and make a run (if McCain wins the nomination). Watching McCain & Rush Lardass go at each others throats on a national stage would be a beautiful sight.

9. MSM is busy stirring the pot on our side. Once they pick theirs, they'll align

and MSM will beatify theirs, demonize ours. Always the formula.
