I liked it better when republicans were too lazy to care about politics
Edited on Sun Aug-09-09 07:37 PM by npk
Where were all these concerns and vehement outrage when Bush sold one lie after another to congress before invading Iraq. Where were all the town hall meetings and protests when Bush signed the patriot act into law. What about the three times Bush told the Supreme Court, that's right the Supreme Court, to go and screw themselves when SCOTUS told Bush that detainees at GITMO could not be held without rights to habeas corpus. These lazy lapdogs sat in their lazy-boy recliners and couldn't care one bit. They didn't even care when Bush raised the rates of their prescription drug meds. Now all of a sudden these people are ready to tear down the fences and storm the gates, literally, if of all things, health care gets needed reform. Just amazing. These fucking bastards couldn't have been the least bit concerned when Bush destroyed, almost page by page, every piece of the constitution and thumbed his nose at congress every step of the way.

Yet many if not all of these people protesting against health care at these town hall meetings also bitched and moaned when gas prices went up. They wanted the government, that's right the government, to step in and force OPEC to produce more oil. That is they had no problem in wanting and demanding that congress act immediately to make an organization of private oil cartels bring the price of oil down per barrel. They in fact thought this was perfectly reasonable for congress to step in and make a private industry function more affordable and to their liking. Well what the fuck do these people think President Obama is doing. He is trying to make the health care industry run more efficiently and be more affordable to everyone. Yet resistance. Of course resistance. Health care costs through the roof, and a for profit health care system that must, in order to make a profit, deny more claims than they honor. Yet to these republicans, nothing wrong here. In fact fuck these people who get sick. Raise the price another few hundred dollars. Just keep my gas prices low. That's all that really matters.

The ironic thing is many of these protesters at these town hall meetings are the same people who will bitch about how expensive their drug medications have gotten and how medicare doesn't cover many of those costs. Yet the man most responsible for this, BUSH JR., passed this legislation without one nary of a peep from these republicans.

Anyway to hell with these people. I am just sick of this shit.

3. The one thing they are competent at is running an opposition party...
against anything that's good.

4. They could afford to be lazy. The Repub congress rubberstamped everything
they wanted. We have to fight for everything. These assholes are sore losers and nutcases. I
think many of them actually believe that our country is at risk if they let any of Obama's agenda pass.

Meanwhile, their corporate masters enjoy watching them work to keep them in charge. Disgusting.

5. They were only lazy when "their" people were in power. As soon as it's a Dem,
and a BLACK Dem, no less, then it's time to secede or initiate an armed rebellion.

6. really wish people'd get this straight.. ReThugs are a psychotic narcissistic ideological cult
that believe if they destroy the government

they believe a Magical Theocratic Utopia will rise out of the ashes of the Constitution and the Federal Government.. i am serious, it is typical of Narcissistic cults.. they are one.

The GOP is a Cult, an Ideological Cult, its members are brainwashed to the degree that their brains are physically altered.. this is a good example. the frightening thing is that they are this organized and functional without a Psychotic Narcissistic Leader. Bu$h43/41 were Psychotic Narcissists, but not a leaders. Reagan was a leader but not a Psychotic Narcissistic.. all the Psychotic death and destruction in that admin in South/central America was done by Poppy Bu$h, Rumsfeld, Negroponte, Oli North..etc. God wouldn't be able to help anyone on this earth if they do find a Psychotic Narcissistic leader. Jim Jones, Manson were Puppies, small time players to what is possible with the media behind them
. the anti Christ will just be a Psychotic Narcissistic with deep political and religious connections.. who loves the spotlight
