Republicans: It sucks to be us

By SEDER

This is hilarious. How badly must the American public think of your party that you are a sitting Republican Senator and you don't want to be seen at your own Party's convention:

 

Nine of 12 targeted Republicans running in the most competitive Senate races this fall are either skipping the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., or have not decided whether to attend.

Among those who will not attend are Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, who is not close to presumptive presidential nominee Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who is a McCain loyalist. Stevens and Collins will use the convention week to focus on their campaigns.

Hard to know who has more cooties, the Codpiece or Huggy Bear...

The Republican convention will be bookended by speeches from President Bush, whose low approval ratings have caused many candidates to keep him at arm's length, and McCain, who is still trying to mend fences with conservatives. But none of the absentees or potential no-shows is publicly citing Bush or McCain as the reason for their decisions.

I'd say give it three or four more weeks and most of these Republicans will be running to the microphones to publicly cite McCain/Bush as their reason not to attend.

With the stink piled so high at the Minnesota Republican convention who would be desperate enough to attend? (besides, of course, Larry Craig, who apparently has a real soft spot for flying into Minnesota)...

Surprise, surprise, meet the next Zell Miller- though Zell was a Democrat when he spoke at the last GOP convention. Not so Joe.

Joe Lieberman

You it is possible to belong to one party but believe the opposing party candidate in one race is the better. But Joe takes it a step too far. Speaking at the RNC? Come on. Someone who still believed in their party would be supportive in at least some of their parties efforts on some issues.

I wish a reporter would ask Joe how he feels about the outlook for democrats in congressional and senate races in 2008. The democrats look to pick up seats in both houses. How does he feel about that? Is he excited or concerned?

By f u bush2July 25, 2008 - 1:17pm

Joe is enjoying his last few moments in the spotlight, like many

repubs, including Bush. Many will be tossed out of office in a few short months, and Joe will no longer be necessary as a swing vote in the Senate. Dems can tell him to go to hell and caucus with his repub butt buddies, because they will have an even bigger majority after November. If he doesn't officially shift to the repub party after November, he'll be the loneliest man in DC. Of course, no matter what he does, he will be kicked to the curb in 2012, to join Grandpa and Hillary.

The thing is that in his current position he has some political capital. What has he done for his home state with it? Is Connecticut reaping any benefits? I doubt it. His priority is not to his constituents.

By f u bush2July 25, 2008 - 1:36pm

He's proven he's not the sharpest tool in the shed

He's working to switch from the side that has the power, and the momentum to increase its power, in favor of moving to the side that will be a weak minority, despised by the voting public, and splitting into a chaotic mess as the repubs attempt to take their party back from the neocons, of which Joe is one. Talk about a politically tone deaf fool!

The Democrats have done

The Democrats have done nothing to insure that the polls are fair and not run by Republican Corporations, black box voting still exists, they are reporting close poll numbers so that it not be a surprise when Republicans win key seats and the White House. Remember Kerry promised 10,000 lawyers to protect the ballot, then walked away from Ohio?

I'm expecting a lot of repubs to go the way of the dodo soon

including Ted Stevens, Mitch McConnell, Norm Coleman and a number of losers in the House. In fact, I've read that repubs have even given up hope of holding on to all the present seats they have. Now it's just a matter of how many they will lose. Maybe Uncle Karl was right about building a permanent majority....he just got the party wrong. He and his dopey creation, Chimpy, have done more to destroy the repub party than any democrat could ever have dreamed of doing.

A majority that grows by a couple-few more seats, and we can finally say good-bye to Joe.
And after he is finally shunned, maybe the good people of CT will mop up the mess for good.

I think convention week is going to be very entertaining

Ron Paul has had to move his counter convention in Minneapolis to a larger venue, the Target Center, in order to accomodate all those who will be attending. In other words, he will be in a venue just as large as the repub convention. I'm making EXTRA popcorn for this one!

More on the familiar old GOP family values hypocrisy front

Peter Hong, spokesman for the Minnesota Bush-Cheney campaign in 2004, was arrested and charged in a prostitution sting yesterday.

I guess repubs should be grateful that at least he was soliciting sex with a woman, unlike Larry "Wide Stance" Craig.

More on the familiar old democrat compassionate liberal hypocrisy front. What was John Edwards doing in that hotel bathroom at 2 in the morning? Pinching off a loaf? NOPE. Praying for his dying wife? NOPE. Figuring out how to exploit his "Two Americas" bullshit to get the veep nod? NOPE. Flushing his career down the toilet because he just got busted cheating on his cancer stricken wife? YUP.

Dude, didn't you learn anything from Bubba? I would say don't cheat until after being elected president, but we all know better than that, so don't get CAUGHT cheating until after you are elected president.

Here is Newt's history:

Married to Jackie Battley for 18 years. While she was recovering from cancer surgery in a hospital bed he brought up the subject of divorce.

Gingrich had been having an affair with Marianne Ginthe whom he married months after the divorce.

Gingrich has admitted that while leading impeachment proceedings against Clinton, he was cheating on his second wife.

It is the conservatives that paint a picture of "respectability" with these bogus groups like focus on the family while not practicing what they preach.

Wow, John Edwards caught at a 2 in the morning in a hotel with a woman that isn't his dying wife. I've always known that guy was a douche bag, but cheating on your wife while she is struggling to stay alive takes a real piece of shit. Hiding in the bathroom for 15 minutes until the media was escorted away pretty much proves he was up to no good. It's too bad he didn't get busted after he got Oblahma's nod for veep, he might not get it now.

Gingrich cheated on his wife

Gingrich cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer? Huh, that's news to me.

Cheating is always bad, but cheating while your wife is dying of cancer is just fucking heartless. I wonder how many months this will take away from Elizabeth's life. This is supposed to be your side's Mr. Compassion, so much for that. Nice attempt to justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior though.

It may be news to you but it is true. He left his wife for his secretary while she was in a hospital bed recovering from cancer surgery. This was at the same time that Newt was complaining about Clinton.

By f u bush2July 25, 2008 - 7:14pm

Not at all frogg. If it turns out that the National Enquirer story is true the sure Edwards is a bastard for doing this to his sick wife. But then I haven't been promoting "family values" as a party platform have I? I also haven't been trying to impeach presidents for infidelity and using it as a talking point.

YOU are the one that came in here all worked up over the issue.

So now you just learned about Newt. How does it make you feel? Are you going to talk about it? Are you going to say how much of a bastard he is?

Oh yeah - Almost the same thing?. Tell me how it is different? Assuming the story on Edwards is true. It is the exact same thing you dumb ass. As a matter of fact if Edwards did have a child out of wedlock then it was probably conceived when his wife's cancer was in remission. So actually what Newt did was worse.

By f u bush2July 25, 2008 - 7:28pm

Wow, there is so much wrong

Wow, there is so much wrong with your post that I don't even know where to start. Edwards may not have pushed "family values" during his campaign, but he most certainly did push compassion, so don't act like the hypocrisy card won't play on Edwards. Oh, and Clinton wasn't impeached for infidelity, he was impeached for perjury. It just goes downhill from there.

How is compassion defined by marital status?

Newt Gingrich was part of the "moral majority" defined in terms of conservative christian values.

And while Gingrich was going after Clinton he himself was having an affair with his second wife. The right wing fully enjoyed the talking points on Clinton's infidelity. They used it as justification of the democrats immorality. It was hypocrisy on display only the ditto heads couldn't see it. Furthermore the discovery of Clinton's affair occurred long after the investigation failed to indict the Clinton's on White Water. It was a witch hunt.

Yes I bring up right wing infidelity and sexual scandal frequently. But to be honest I don't care about that stuff. I simply find the hypocrisy to be quite enjoyable. I rarely criticized Guiliani about his indiscretions simply because he has not been part of this right wing crusade for "family values". However on occasion I did point it out to right wingers because they have held it to such a high regard that I wanted to deflate them.

I know nothing of the personal live of Gingrich or Edwards. I do not see the world in black and white. I understand that people sometimes have failed marriages. In both cases however I am appalled at the timing of these events given the illness of the spouse.

By f u bush2July 25, 2008 - 8:59pm

How is compassion defined by

How is compassion defined by marital status?!?

First off, what does "marital status" have to do with cheating on your wife? I've never seen "single, married, divorced, married but cheating" on any form under "marital status".
Secondly, you don't see any lack of compassion towards his ailing wife in Edwards' actions? If you don't you are either blind or willingly have your eyes closed in order to avoid the obvious hypocrisy.

And once again, they were going after Clinton for PERJURY, you know, the whole swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, then lying your ass off. You want me to say that Gingrich is a hypocrite base on that? Well, did Gingrich ever lie under oath? NOPE. Sure, he's a hypocrite for the "moral majority while cheating on your wife" bullshit, and yes, after reading up on him I have lost loads of respect for him, but his going after Clinton wasn't hypocritical at all.

Finally, you are damned right I don't want leadership that has cheated on his wife, it shows lack of judgement and control. The president, along with other national leadership, should be the best the nation has to offer. I'm sorry, but being able to sweet talk some whore in a bar may show good speaking abilities, but it sure as fuck doesn't show any decent character or the ability to hold the most important job on the planet. Judgement counts.

Frog:

George Dubya Bush, while governor of Texas, was called to Jury Duty.

He made a big show of filling our his jury questionnaire. But he left blank the question: "Have you ever pled guilty to or been convicted of a crime?"

Then he signed his form, which likely contained a statement to the effect of: "I hereby swar (or affirm) that all of the above answers are true, to the best of my knowledge."

When Chimpy went back to his office and told counsel Alberto "Waterboard" Gonzales what he had done, Gonzales likely shit his pants.

You see, Frog, Shrub committed PERJURY by leaving that one question blank, knowing full well he had pled "no contest" (same as "guilty") to a charge of DWI while in Maine in the 1970s. He lost his drivers license too.

The Torture Czar-to-be had to do some quick legal dancing to save the future president-select from a career-ending conviction for perjury. He went in to the presiding judge, and argued that the sitting governor could not serve on any jury, since he might at some point be called upon to pardon the defendant. Alberto got the prosecutor to join his motion, and while Chimy gave a speech on the courthouse steps about good citizenship, the Chimpster was dismissed as a juror without his questionnaire becoming public.

So, Frog, should Chimpy be impeached for his act of perjury?

Perjury

Then you must be for the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney for lying about Valerie Plame, right? Oh that's right they refuse to be sworn in by the 911 Commission, and none of their lackys have the balls to go before Congress and take the 5th Amendment.
John Edwards cheated. I am willing to bet that you have cheated on your wife. Newt Gingrich cheated and so did Bill Clinton. Men have been cheating on their wives since the beginning of time. Cheating on ones wife is not a crime in any state or federal statute. Ordering the wire tapping of American Citizens on US soil without first getting a FISA warrent IS against the law. That is a Law that good ole dubya broke. By his own words. He did it and does'nt give a shit.
You like all of your ilk don't know where you are living. You wave your little chinese made lapel pins and go to church on Sunday and nod sagely and shout USA USA and talk about being free. You are aghast if someone has the temerity to tell you that you live in a Facist State.
A facist state is a country where " Profits trump Democracy", that is a direct quote from GW Bush. It is a place where the govenment is run by and for the Corporations and Big Business. That is exactly what this county is now. You and your ilk don't have the slightest idea what separates this country from a tin horn Police State like Red China and the USSR now Russia, and Egypt, Pakistan, Iran , Syria, the list is endless. Do you know what separates us, the United States from them? Want a hint? The 4th Amendment. That is the only thing that separates this country from those countries, and YOUR PRESIDENT and HIS RUBBER STAMP Congress have done all they can to destroy that one safeguard. They deserve to be not only impeached but charged with the felonies they committed and put in jail. All of the, Bush, Cheney, Scotter boy, Turd Bloosom boy, the token black Rice, all of them. They have commited crimes against the Constitution. And if you hadn't realized that is exactly what they swear to defend when they take their oath of office. ----- protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic------- So help me GOD.
They are true hypocrites. Not politicians who are liars by definition, but people whose word sworn on a bible is not worth a pinch of salt. Whose only reason for existing is greed for money and power. Because in their world Profit trumps Democracy. In our world Nothing Trumps Democracy. Nothing.

The g0p is becoming less and less relevant with every passing day. There's no longer any such thing as a "safe" red seat in Congress. And all the sheeple-trolls can come up with to try and grasp at what few straws of power they can still reach are half-baked innuendos? They need to clean their own house before they start pointing shaky fingers at the dust bunnies in the corners of others' houses.

The distraction card was overplayed two years ago, with disastrous results for the RepubliCANTs. Why do they think it'll work any better now? One definition of "insanity" is "repeating the same actions and expecting different results". Here, let me remind everyone of how well it worked two years ago...

Yes I'm sure that is how it went you dumb ass.

You've already been exposed for pushing the lie that Obama doesn't visit the troops. The pentagon's policy is that the troops not be visited when the visit would appear political and they defined it as such. But I've shown you that Obama, as a senator, has visited troops in Walter Reed in the last month no less.

You are a peddler of lies and propaganda.

By f u bush2July 26, 2008 - 1:30am

This is the truth:

Oblahma was going to visit WOUNDED TROOPS, found out he could not make it a presser, and decided to go to a gym instead.

Oblahma is exposed as the selfish pussy that he really is.

The people of the world can have him. When the American people find out the truth about Obama, they will reject him.

This right wing troll makes no sense. First he tries to spin the one time Obama doesn't visit the wounded troops into an argument that he never does. I then proceed to educate him on that matter. Then like a typical lying republican he continues to use this as a talking point.

He calls Obama a pussy for not going to see wounded troops. I figure he is upset that the wounded troops are not being seen. Wouldn't it be good if we all shared the pain of a few that are asked to serve again and again because chicken hawks like "its_so_over" keep voting for people that send them there?

I then post a picture of a wounded soldier so we can all see it. Even Obama. And now the right winger is pissed. The right winger is just a dumb ass chicken hawk. First he says Obama is a pussy for not going to see the wounded troops on one occasion. I show a wounded soldier and he calls me "anti-america". Well which is it? Does he want the wounded soldiers to be seen or not?

I guess he doesn't want to be reminded of Bush policy:

I suspect the conversation went something like this:

Bush: "Hey John"
McCain: " Don't mean to be a bother, but this uppidy's really p*ss*ng on my parade".
Bush: "Yeah, been watchin it ...that Baracko boy been puttin the moves...tap dancin..."
McCain: "He's f**king Jesus over at the troop hospital in Iraq. That's my turf. I'm suppose to get all the 'crutch sympathy mo'.
Bush: "Yeah...mm"
McCain: "B*st*rds eating me alive".
Bush: "Yeah...time for a call into Bantz over at EUCom..that Bommaboy aint getting any more bedside manner opportunities..."
McCain: "Could ya, I sure appreciate..."

He wasn't caught at any time

I read the story, he wasn't caught anywhere by anyone. It is all hearsay. Read it yourself

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards_cheating_scandal/celebrity/...

The woman who is supposedly accusing him won't even talk to the Enquirer. The so-called information is supposedly based on reports of phone calls and emails to friends. It's all second and third-hand reports. I could say that your wife told me via e-mails and phone calls that she is having an affair with McCain. You should put just about as much stock in the story that is in the Enquirer as in my story. IT'S BUNK.

Before you guys go off and read the Enquirer

Heres a factual, verifiable headline...
"Obama beats McCain in latest Arizona fundraising", and " Zogby poll --Obama leads McCain in Arizona 42 percent to 39 percent"

Who knows better than a hometown crowd when it comes to who they want in Washington.?
Oh the humiliation of it all.

McCain wants 100 more years of this

Only the beginning...

Sooner or later the citizens are be going to be struck by a bolt and realize that every second of every minute of every day their "wealth" is being diminished by inflation and their dollar's turning to dust.
They've been force fed pablum and a blend of bullshit for so long that they no longer can believe their own two eyes. Or ears.
It is always about the money.

Did AAR hear about

the "impeachment" discussion for six hours yesterday? One might think something like this would register at a "progressive" radio network.

Thanks for keeping us informed. Now off to Nova M.

Come on now, Anti.
It registered just enough for one of their leading hosts to make time to ridicule it. Go team go!

Ever notice how armored vehicles

dont have a layer of non-pneumatic liquid between layers of armor?

Like Silly puddy. Something that wouldnt leak out if there was a puncture. But would provide that same impact stopping power of fluid.

Watching Mythbusters and watching water stop bullets and it made me think. OK, how do you get a layer of armor thats liquiiiiii, w-w-w-w-wait! Silly Puddy. Cornstarch and water. It absorbs impact. OK. We can do this. Some sort of Super Puddy. So a heavy armor, around an air bubble with people inside is vulnerable to IEDs. Hell its an eggshell. But if you put evenpressure around an egg its impossible to crush it caus ethe fluid inside. So..... why not layers of steel with this shock absorbing goo in there? Would it not help at all? Youd think there has to be a way.

Republicans vote against there own self interest

I just watched McCain on Face the Nation. For those that believe McCain has "liberal" leanings, think again.

McCain and George were discussing the plight of children without parents living in institutions. McCain said allowing gays to adopt is morally wrong, only one man and one woman is "morally correct". George kept asking, "Is it better for these children to live in an institution than with loving adults?" "Is an institution better?" McCain kept coming back with only one man and one woman is a "real" family. I have some shocking news from McCain. Gay people come from "real" families, all had a mother and father, and not a single one was "raised gay". Was Dick Cheney's or Alen Keyes's daughters or Phyllis Schlafly's son, all prominent Republicans, raised gay? Does McCain think gays are immigrants???? I bet he has one in his own family. Why does he say such stupid things. I think I know.

AND THEN,

He started going on about "Affirmative Action". I understand the problems people have with Affirmative Action. I have questions about it myself, but for people like McCain and Bush who benefited from Affirmative Action to complain about it is a "McShame". To understand how McCain and Bush benefited from AA you have to define it. AA - a person with less qualifiable ,merits is jumped, for whatever reason, over a person with with a higher "provable" standard. In real terms, someone with worse grades or lessor test results than me has been moved ahead of me.

McShame, based on family connections, whose father and grandfather were Admirals, was allowed into the Navel Academy where he graduated 5th from the bottom out of a class of 899 Cadets. 5th from the bottom out of 899. Four more and he would have been last. The positive spin is that McCain is in the top 99.45%.

Bush jumped over thousands to get into Harvard where he "achieved" a C- average, below average.

On has to wonder if dad ever called and asked, "Could you give him at least a passing grade?", since it was "dad" that initiated the Affirmative Action to begin with.

Republicans vote against there own self interest. The vast majority have no health insurance and live on the brink. They say, "Hey, you can't get mad at guy just because he's rich". No one is getting mad, but is it fair to get ahead based strictly on money and family connections? Doesn't quality come in to play anywhere? Are the ONLY standards money and family connections? Republicans only feel comforatable electing leaders that, chances are, are way less smart than the average Republican voter?

The best part...

I hear these cons talking endlessly about how the gov't should "clean up Hollywood." Well guess what? If that should really happen, who will be doing the cleaning? That's right! Nut case christians. So, removing Hollywood's "liberal bias" will also mean
