Excellent Opinion Piece on the Thugs in the GOP

This article is well worth the read, and highlights the two main groups that have hijacked the Republican Party and led us into such a mess: the Evangelical "thugs" and the "arrogant" Neo-Conservatives!

Thanks a lot guys ... well done!

Bush: Stay the Course...Stay the course...oh, wait

President George W. Bush has said repeatedly that the United States will stay the course in Iraq.

Then he says, "We've never been 'stay the course, George [Stephanopolis]!"

Wait, what?

This is ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

Quote of the Day II

"If the Democrats win, it will be a Forrest Gump victory - essentially things swirled around them over which they had very little control and they ended up scoring touchdowns, designing happy signs, and making money on shrimp." - Pollster John Zogby

Pat Tillman's Brother Attacks the Bush Administration!

Pat Tillman's brother Kevin joined the military at the same time as his brother, who was rather famously killed in a friendly-fire incident on April 22, 2004. His brother has remained quiet since leaving the military in 2005, but has a brief article attacking the Bush Administration and highlighting the damage it has done to the nation. Well worth the read.

From the article:

Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11 attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can’t be called a civil war even though it is. Something like that.

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few “bad apples” in the military.

Todays Parents Are Awful People #2

Parents today are crazy. Following on an earlier post about delusional parents who think their hyperactive, socially maladjusted children are actually "indigo children" sent to save the world, I couldn't help but post this article about parents in California that hijacked a high school girl's basketball team!

These parents are sick and representative of a degenerate culture among today's parents that are simply raising entitled, spoiled children who will be unable to function in adult society.

More Bad News for the GOP*

From Politicalwire.com:

Republicans Losing Evangelical Support

"If the elections for Congress were held today, according to the new Newsweek poll, 60 percent of white Evangelicals would support the Republican candidate in their district, compared to just 31 percent who would back the Democrat. To the uninitiated, that may sound like heartening news for Republicans in the autumn of their discontent. But if you’re a pundit, a pol, or a preacher, you know better. White Evangelicals are a cornerstone of the GOP’s base; in 2004, exit polls found Republicans carried white Evangelicals 3 to 1 over Democrats, winning 74 percent of their votes. In turn, Evangelicals carried the GOP to victory. But with a little more than two weeks before the crucial midterms, the Republican base may be cracking."

"If something doesn’t give -- and quick -- Republicans will view 2004 as the good ol’ days. Fifty-five percent of likely voters in the new Newsweek poll say they would vote for the Democrat in their district if the election were held today, versus 37 percent who say they would vote for the Republican. That’s not surprising; the Democrats have been leading in the opinion polls for months. But the new poll suggests -- from the leanings of bellwether voting blocs to voters’ priorities -- that a possible Republican loss could turn into a rout."



*GOP should now refer to "Giving Over Power," or perhaps "God's Old Party."

Oh, and the more I think about it, the more I have come to believe that getting rid of the South (i.e. the old Confederacy) would be akin to cutting out a tumor from an otherwise healthy body.

Reprehensible GOP Add

The GOP is now running a new add, "The Stakes" in advance of the election. It is scare-mongering at its worse, and has been compared to the infamous Lyndon Johnson "Daisy" ad that ran in the 1964 presidential election (see below).

The Republican Party is bankrupt, so all they have left to do is try and scare us. Don't be fooled, please.

Ten Dumbest Members of Congress!

Radaronline.com has a wonderful article (as usual) on the top ten dumbest members of Congress!

Take a moment and check it out, it is fascinating! Some highlights:

•A Republican United States Senator made a joke about "niggers" in 1994!

•A Republican Representative answered "buttfucking" when a student asked for an example of what kinds of programs the National Endowment for the Arts spent its money on!

And many, many more!

Enjoy!
