It's not the Party of No. It's the Party of Cowardice.
Edited on Fri Feb-12-10 07:44 PM by zulchzulu
What did the Republican Party want to do with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

Nothing.

Why?

Because they were SCARED it would make Obama look good.


What did the Republican Party want to do when it came to voting for Stimulus packages that brought jobs to their districts?

Nothing.

Why?

Even though they show up for the photo-op, smiling and glad-handing at ribbon cuttings for new projects FROM the Stimulus that brought jobs to their community, they are SCARED it would make Obama look good.


What did the Republican Party want to do with the opportunity to have health care reform done that even they admit needs to be done?

Nothing.

Why?

Because they were SCARED it would make Obama look good.


Now, the Republicans are talking about how it might be a "trap" to discuss health care reform openly on television because they don't "know what they are walking into". So what do they want to do?

Nothing.

Why?

Because they were SCARED it would make Obama look good.


Republicans want to lie about Climate Change either because they are too stupid to understand the difference between Climate Change and the recent weather forecast or that they fear science and don't understand the basic knowledge we all need from leaders in the 21st Century. So what do they want to do about Climate Change?

Nothing.

Why?

Because they were SCARED it would make Obama look good.


THEY ARE SCARED.


Here's a nice quote:

"To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice."
- Confucius


The Republicans simply are the Party of Fear... Amongst Themselves. They want to promote fear and when it comes to making reasonable decisions and governance, they are fearful.

They are cowards. One and all.

Only a coward without any principals would act this way.

9. And, why shouldn't they be scared?
:scared: They know enough to know that they've built their platform on a rickety ol pile of rotten wood and sand. They don't want to see it collapse again on national tv without a fave pundit attempting to save their collective scaredy ass. fauxsn00ze can cut away but what about those cameras that don't? :scared::hide::scared:
