DU'ers may disagree about their candidates , but FREEPERS are tearing each others throats out!!!

[Harper_is_Bush]

They are imploding. Blaming the media, railing about who's a baby-killer and who isn't, calling each other liars.

Quite entertaining.

I have said before that Obama would not be able to win due to latent American racism, but I would qualify that by saying if Huckaby is the repub nominee, Obama would have an excellent chance.

[begin_within]

1. From reading some of their posts, it seems like Freepers don't like the guy who won their caucus

Way to support your party...

[LibraLiz1973]

4. I don't like the guy who won our caucus either

As an American, I am allowed to express that.
Freepers or not, they still have the RIGHT to express their opinion.
I have NO respect for people who toe the party line just because
people tell them it's the "right thing to do" - even if they KNOW it isn't.

That mindset is how we got in to a lot of this mess with Bush.
The repubs did NOTHING to stop him because they wanted to show Unity.

If you don't believe in something or someone, go ahead and say it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. I was going to post the same, but you beat me too it.

:-)

[skipos]

53. The difference is, there are fewer people like you, and more like them

Repubs generally have a bigger lack of enthusiasm for their candidates than the Dems do.

[DRoseDARs]

73. Well, at least Obama is neither the Giant Douche NOR the Turd Sandwich. n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

2. "Here’s something to ponder, why are the terrorists so quiet?"

"If Huckabee is the Republican nominee, he will lose all 50 states + D.C." Huckleberry stands a chance in DC and the true blues? LOL

I just might be up all night keeping up with those loons.

[Harper_is_Bush]

3. I know, that one made me roll on the floor and laugh out loud. Seriously funny. n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

7. Were they expecting an OBL release?

"Seriesly." This is SO much better than Tweety.

[HeeBGBz]

54. They're hunting wabbits. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

5. "The elistists don't want to listen"

Yeah, but how about the elitists?
:rofl:

[Union Thug]

6. Baby Killers? You mean they are attacking Bush and Cheney

And every other bloody-fisted supporter of their corporate war? Wow, how quickly things change!

[HughMoran]

8. Hehe!! They're all baby killers! hehehe! I love Freepers - they are quite playful toys

Huckster the nutbag is no Freeper :rofl:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

10. This is a beaut:

"Huckabee doesn't have a clue. He confuses the pastoral command to take care of the widows, children and poor among us and not turn anyone away, with the President's duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land."

[HughMoran]

91. Oh. My. Fucking. God.

This is the party of the good Christians? Never mind the non-sequitur between helping the "least" among us and "the Constitution" - as if there was some incompatibility between the two! Wow, no wonder we call them morans.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

104. What scares me the most is that if he does get the nomination...

who might he choose as his running mate? Thompson?!

Huckleberry would appeal to the "good" Christians who want to help those poor widows, and Thompson to the Morans who want to nuke the Middle East back to the Stone Age. Many Rs wouldn't sweat the details -- they just know he's that dude they liked on Law & Order.

[salin]

11. I think he would have a decent chance against a number of

their nutso candidates. I really think it is a "perfect storm" scenario and without the context, I don't think that in 2008 I would suggest that the latent/covert racism that still exists in American could be overcome - however there are very unusual contexts this year. Extremem public disproval of bushco and ALL of the candidates but Huckabee and Paul proclaim proudly that they would at least match bush if not beat bush in his horrendous policies (be they foreign policy, economic, health/insurance, etc.)

Freepland is but a small sample of how the GOP is imploding.

[Harper_is_Bush]

15. I think Obama would lose to JM, and possibly MR.

MR has mormanism going against him, but he's a good looking and Presidential type of guy, which wins over a lot of the mindless set.

JM has some substance and integrity, and I think Obama would likely lose to him.

[yardwork]

24. No way. Huckabee can't win unless they rig the votes again, and t hey won't for him.

If Huckabee is the Republican nominee, the Democrat wins, hands-down.

Huckabee is a genuine lunatic. Read the transcripts of his comments long enough and it becomes apparent.

[Harper_is_Bush]

39. I didn't reference Huck. Read my posts, please.

And I agree, that Obama could win against Huckabee.

Obama vs. McCain would have been a problem.

[Ilsa]

51. ITA. The GOP establishment won't steal an election for him. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

52. Lunatics are easily controlled, and BushCo LOVE what they can control.

A society of unquestioning sheep would be their ideal. Makes for an excellent labor force.

Watch out, I believe that they're shooting for a corporate theocracy (corporate financial control, with a thin religious coating for social order).

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

65. I agree, corporate theocracy is where we're headed...

...if they have their way. Religion will be slathered on thick by the White House, meanwhile the FEMA camps will begin to fill up.

Historically, theocracies are not known for compassion, they are militant and very punitive. It is a bit alarming how well Huckabee comes off on talk shows -- I'm afraid the truth is, he presents himself rather well. Hope I'm wrong about that.

[Fire Walk With Me]

67. It's up to us to constantly challenge their charisma with facts about religious oppression and

domination.

They will want us to believe that this time would be different. It cannot possibly be. I've only googled this man's beliefs once, and skimmed what I came across, but gays are reviled, just to begin with. Give this sort power, and they'll most certainly use it.

If I were at a Huck rally, or interviewing him, I'd ask what he intends to do to include exactly the types he's spoken out against in the past, and go down the list of exclusions.

This type is in it for their own ideas, not everyone's benefit. Even his family look tense and miserable.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

68. Agreed. Huckabee's administration will be about molding society...

...to fit his ideal, and that ultimately boils down to getting rid of the people who don't fit it -- historically, this has always been how fascist theocracies work.

[orleans]

70. "they" will NOT have their way. "they" may never have their way again. n/t

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

71. Sure hope you're right. nt.

[NOLALady]

100. We've had a lunatic in office for seven years.

I'm not totally convinced that many would not support another lunatic.

[salin]

30. JM's integrity (ala just where does he stand) was greatly

compromised in the past four years. And now he spouts pure bushism rhetoric. There is a reason he hasn't been able to raise much money, he is entirely unbelievable. MR spent millions in Iowa and was beat by double digits by an unknown candidate (to many, until very recently.) And MR has an even more traceable and clear record of pandering to whatever voters he is trying to capture with no real integrity in governing per his rhetoric. I think both are such weak candidates that the GOP vote turnout ends up being quite weak. Given that the public sentiment doesn't extremely shift due to some external event - I think Obama wins. People are frightened for their economic security in a way not seen in severak generations. I think that bushco screwed the GOP pooch.

I am still undecided, but I have left my fear that Obama couldn't be elected due to latent racism (which I *know* still exists) at the door a little while ago - when I watched clearly how unviable for a variety of reasons, each of the GOP candidates is with the general electorate.

[1awake]

16. The GOP isn't imploding,

there's nothing left to implode. As I've said, many of the "blue collar" republicans are/have shifted over to Obama and or Edwards. It really isnt that hard for them to see how perverted and corrupt the republican party has become now. I'm one taking part in the exodus. :) May it break the republican party so a better one an be built.

[Harper_is_Bush]

19. You're hoping for a better Republican party? Why, so they can resume their evil domination?

Give your head a shake.

[1awake]

22. heh..

I would always want another party, regardless of what it is called. One party systems are not my cup of tea. Any party can become evil, very unfortunately... the republican party of today does not have the market cornered.

[Harper_is_Bush]

32. Oh yeah? Which other party is "evil", in your opinion? n/t

[1awake]

47. which Party?

Any party can become "evil". The name of the party is besides the point. At this place in time, it is my opinion that the republican party is severely corrupt. It is so corrupt, in my opinion of course, that it needs to be put out of it's misery. That does NOT mean I would favor a single party system, not even if it was the democratic party. (this has nothing to do with repubs or democrats)

As to which other party is "evil".. take your pic, they are all over the globe. If you were referring to the United States specifically.. it is enough for me to deal with the fact that for years my party lied to me, used me.. more than I care to list right now. I still have to many "anger issues" with them to even consider pointing my finger at others.

[Zodiak]

55. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

I happen to agree with you about the need for two parties. Nevermind the loyalists...every political board has them.

The point of the political process is to benefit the American people, not a singular party or ideology.

[MrMickeysMom]

84. Be real about it... If you look back, you'll see the point

Geez, you only need to go back to the days of Eisenhower, who was less conserative than Bill Clinton on one or two fronts. Or, possible look to Barry Goldwater to understand the 1964 "Republican values" of in that election.

Evil domination knows NO boundaries. It just so happens to be alive and ready to implode in the party that CALLS themselves Republicans.

33. Welcome to DU and I hope we don't let you down.

Some of the democrats are every bit as corrupt
as their republican colleagues, two sides of the
same corporate coin, if you will.
However, the good news is I think Americans are
waking up the corruption in BOTH parties.
Maybe we can take back our country if
we work TOGETHER!
BHN

[salin]

34. I am on the record predicting, that this may be one of those rare

and historic eras where an existing political party disappears. The big question is what would emerge (more extreme or more centrist) in the vacuum that woul occur. Not saying that it will happen, but that it is a period where it *could* happen. Hasn't happened in more than a century.

[yardwork]

21. Well, you've put your finger on why many of us distrust Obama.

Obama does seem to appeal to racist, homophobic, freepish people. Why is that?

[Alexander]

27. Maybe it's because he draws crowds like these?

Look at the crowds. He appeals all kinds of people.

These photos not only answer your question, but also demonstrate how clueless you are.

[yardwork]

35. Thank you for the egregious personal attack. You remind me of many Obama supporters.

Obama may be a decent guy. His supporters, not so much. You are some of the rudest, most insensitive people I've come across anywhere. And you're consistent in your rudeness and insensitivity. Day after day, month after month, I've come to expect trash-mouth from Obama supporters.

[girl gone mad]

61. So did Kerry, so did Bush..

what's your point?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

63. Kerry won, nt

[Javaman]

79. I was at the one on the top. :) that's Austin, y'all :)

great speaker, but he needs to change his energy policy for me. there is no such thing as "clean" coal.

otherwise he would get my vote.

[Lorien]

102. He's not the only one. A Freeperish artist I know who works with a

large number of lower middle class repugs says that Obama is their favorite so far; and he's both homophobic AND a racist! I asked him why and he said that Obama hasn't been in politics very long, so he might not be as corrupt as the old timers. He also likes his message of "unity" and "change". I'm still not an Obama fan myself but it's encouraging to know that some repugs are so fed up that they are willing to vote against their own prejudices.

[yardwork]

18. I'm delighted that Huckleberry won Iowa for the repukes. He's their worst nightmare.

Huckabee actually seems to believe the various lies that bushco has told to keep the fundies on his side over the years. The corporatists are freaking out. The last thing they want is a real Christian in the White House - even one as big a lunatic as Huckabee.

[alfredo]

20. Notice McCain is a no show on their board.

Losing to Thompson, is humiliating.

[yardwork]

31. The freepers hate McCain. The MIA issue in Vietnam.

The freeps - bless their deluded little hearts - are convinced that the evil commie Vietnamese have thousands of MIAs in prisons in Vietnam and the only way to get them back is to launch a full-scale nucular attack on the dirty pinko commies this minute.

McCain had the audacity to actually talk to the Vietnamese government, along with that guy John Kerry (and we know what the freeps think of him) and conclude that there are no living prisoners of war in Vietnam. Well, that was it for the freeps and McCain.

[alfredo]

57. He also had the audacity to speak out against torture. Never mind

that he actually knows what it is. To the freeps torture is their mother telling them to pick up their skidmarked underwear off the bathroom floor.

[yardwork]

77. That's right! I forgot about that. Romney and the Huckster are pro-torture.

Romney really likes torture.

[alfredo]

Forgive my following rant: I lay this disastrous field of candidates at the feet of the “all or nothing conservatives”. They threw Santorum and Allen (our strongest conservative Pres candidates) out of office in 2006 to teach the Republicans a lesson on immigration. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot! Just think what the results tonight would’ve been if it wasn’t for this backlash from conservatives who were so mad they weren’t thinking straight.

64. And that is an accurate picture of what the world would/will...

[krispos42]

66. This reminds me of a scene in "Galaxy Quest"

Fred has tested the "digital conveyor" teleportation device on a pig-lizard that was chasing Jason Nesmith, but the pig-lizard has been horribly mutilated by the process.

Jason Nesmith: (over the comm) What was that?

Sir Alexander Dane: Uh, nothing.

Jason Nesmith: I heard some squealing or something.

Gwen DeMarco: No, everything is fine.

Teb: But the animal is inside out.

Jason Nesmith: I heard that! It got turned inside out?

(The pig-lizard bursts, spattering the area with gore.)

Teb: (pleasant demeanour barely faltering) And it exploded.

Jason Nesmith: Did I just hear that the animal turned inside out and then EXPLODED?

Gwen DeMarco: Um... hold, please.

The Republican Party is the pig lizard, exploding after being turned inside-out. Teb is Ron Paul trying to speak the truth, Jason Nesmith is the general Republican population trying to figure out what's going on, and Gwen and Alexander are Rush Limp-baugh and the Faluffa Master trying to tell everybody that everything is fine as usual.
