The pathetic, sickening spectacle of the repubs kowtowing to a crazy, fat d.j.
How EMBARRASSING! Have they lost ALL sense of shame? Even I am embarrassed for them. This is a bizarre and repulsive display of total g.o.p. collapse. I never thought I'd live to see the repub party fall so low.

It would almost be funny if it weren't for the constant gag reflex.

2. We had a few DUers arguing a few weeks ago that rush wasn't the
head of the GOP. Guess THEY were wrong too. It would be nice to hear from them now. <CRICKETS>

3. What's weird is you'd think they'd have hard copy
of the really, really scandalous dirt on him, and would be releasing it. I guess he hasn't embarrassed a power player enough, yet.

16. I think it will
The real Repig powers that be (neocons and economic royalist thieves) do not need Pigboy as the final anchor around their dying party's ankles. He's gonna get metaphorically whacked sometime before the end of the year.

7. Republicans lost all sense of shame decades ago
When they prosecute a man for a bj in the White House then let another commit war crimes from the same building, they show they have no shame.

8. Authorianism Is What Authoritarianism Does
I could never be embarassed for a party that has destroyed the country I love. I will always have deep contempt for all the crooks and war criminals that turned this country into the mess it is now. Rushbo is near the top of that list...beating the drum for all these years for hatred, intolerance and privilidge. He spoke aloud what the sheeple in that party wanted to hear...instigating them to hate and ridicule...to avoid compromise or open debate...just go with the soundbites and never question. Sorry, no pity for demogogues...especially those that hide from the real critics and bullies those won't kiss his ring. This isn't funny, it's pathetic.

We're just starting the watch the implosion...the fun is yet to come. Surely the GOOP bosses, if there are any left, must realize if they go with Rushbo, they might as well only run elections in the south and in deep crimson areas elsewhere as they will be marginalized anywhere else. The years of bile spewing and intolerance have come back to haunt this party of intolerance and if Rushbo is their figurehead or actual leader, their route through the wilderness will be long and amusing to watch.

The fun will be when someone actually tries to stand up to Rushbo...then game on. But I doubt there's any repugnican with the cajones to do that anytime too soon.

9. The GOP is just kowtowing to people who do not like to think
Many people just go with what ever Rush will say as it is easy. The, so called. people in the govt.'born to rule' know that so they do this type stuff. I am sure their are people in this party that do the same. I mean some times one can not even say a program of FDR's did not work. Makes people mad to say it.

10. Those pictures of Rush speaking make me sick.
Limbaugh, Palin, Wurzelbacher. The fact that these are their leading spokesmen tells you all you need to know.

I think those videos of the gigantic Mt. Rushmore shouting and jumping around should be shown on every news channel every day. He is repulsive in every way to everyone but wingnuts.

11. You could have spent years plotting the demise of the GOP
and it would never have worked as well as this. A bloated, big mouthed, drug addicted, repulsive, hateful, money grubber skillfully taking advantage of a situation for personal gain ($$$$$$$$$$) while at the same time destroying the party that lead to said gain. You can't make this stuff up. The Republicans actually think Rush cares about them.:rofl:

15. That 13 yr. old repub spokesman is WEIRD!
Edited on Wed Mar-04-09 11:02 AM by Philosoraptor
Saw him yesterday for the first time, looked like he had lipstick on, I swear, but you could tell his folks have him tee totally rushified and brain washed.

What a pathetic end to the grand old party.

18. It's a great turn of events, and they have only themselves to thank.
They've really painted themselves into a corner in the last decade. On the one hand, they can tell rush to shove it, and he might bolt the party and take his neanderthal fawning lackeys with him, in which case the repubs will never be as strong as they have been again. On the other hand, they can put up with him, and be marginalized by his idiotic rants, and drive away anyone not completely batshit mean and crazy. There's no middle ground on this one.

You made your bed by bringing all the crazyfucks into the political arena, repubs. This is what you get.

IMO it is difficult to lose something you never had..
