The Simple Truth About The Republican party – The GOP which has proven to be nothing more than a bunch of fascist brownshirts – They show that they’re nothing more than a bunch of sore losers who’d rather play a game of political tug-o-war than solve the nations issues (largely caused by their party). The current crop of GOP leaders and loyalists are not driven by love of their country, they do not desire a better life for our society as a whole and they have a deep-seated hate towards intellectual progress. These 21st century Republicans are completely driven by the base emotions of power, greed and evil. Look at how people like Michele Bachmann, Liddy Dole, Norm Coleman and Scott Garrett have been talking to their constituents – saying that electing anyone other than themselves is tantamount to putting enemies of the state in office. And in this season political kabuki, they are ready to pull down the whole country if they slip from the reins of power. There’s the truth Republicans, they are so removed from the party of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt that those men are screaming and kicking in their graves at what the party has become. The only thing more obtuse and vacuous than most Republicans running for political ambition and office is the people who support them.

Ok, riceroni, you said Obama is bipartisan in every way, please provide examples where he changed the “stimulus” package, the signature policy of his term so far, to reflect concerns of members of the Republican leadership or a consensus of their caucus.

My, my, my, you call the Republicans the party of divisive politics, then go on to celebrate the divisive rhetoric of the nation’s leading Democrat.

Please, as per this post, provide an example of where Bush ever used such rhetoric to describe Democrats.

And then, you yourself show yourself to practice the very divisive politics that you claim Republicans practice by engaging in name-calling. Oh how you put a smile on my face in so easily making a point we repeat all too often on this blog . . . that of the mean-spiritedness and hypocrisy of the Bush-hating left.

No matter how much you Obama bash it can’t, don’t, and won’t change the fact that George W. Bush was a terrible President. He lacked the leadership becoming the office of President, and he and his administration’s entire two terms were riddled with nothing but incompetence and failure. I don’t know what your deal is and what chip you have on your shoulder, but Obama have been bipartisan in every way. It’s Republicans as usual that put partisanship and party politics and their own agenda ahead of the best interest of the nation and the American people. But we all know that’s par for the course from Republicans, I mean it’s what we’ve come to expect from the party of divisive politics. Are you actually going to get pissed because Obama tell it like it is? That’s exactly what Republicans do “peddle false theories, phony arguments, and petty politics” I for one am happy he had the balls to call them on it. Most of you Obama bashers would rather see America fail than Obama succeed, but at the same time paint yourselves such “Great American Patriots”. You’re nothing but the epitome of the GOP…. Crooks, Liars, and Hypocrites!!

As I stated in a reply to a later post: Why do they continue to get away with this? Bush Derangement Syndrome essentially colored everything Bush did (or did not do) throughout the WORLD, but Obama WILL get a pass, whatever he does. Why can’t we do more than just state the obvious, get people to see the hypocrisy, to admit it’s there? Are we that ineffectual, that irrelevant?

Obama appealed to the weak minded and those who never were willing to do independent research on topics. God help us.

In the book Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg exhaustively runs down how the cry of “Emergency! Emergency” has always been used by totalitarians to seize control. The left knows this- hence their use of the now discredited global warming hoax. Carbon connects to everything and to control carbon…. But that has NOTHING on this crisis. Of course they know that the “stimulus” is going to make things worse. Their own people have pointed that out. Getting worse is exactly what they want. The more crisis, the more Big Daddy needs to step in and take over to “help” everyone. Welcome to Obama’s Happy Gumdrop Land!

People won’t care about any of this – Obama’s over-adoring media, spendthrift ways, nasty partisanship and lying – until it hits their pocketbooks. Which it will, in 2010-12.

In response to your question, it’s worth repeating a comment I wrote on another blog this morning: When Obama went into attack mode on the Republicans at yesterday’s pricey House Democrat “Retreat,” I considered it a major tactical win for the Republicans. After all, many Republicans warned that Obama had no record of bipartisanship time and again during the election. And here he and his party’s leaders are whining that they’re not getting Republican support for their porkfest bill–this after he turned away Republican suggestions about the stimulus by saying “I won” during his first week in office. Increasingly, he’s being exposed for the partisan the Republicans said he was during the campaign.

Bush was supposedly a “scare monger” because he pointed out that terrorists had already killed 3,000 Americans and foiled plots proved that they were trying to do so again (as if anyone needed confirmation).

Meanwhile Obama and Democrats charge that if you dont support a bill predicated on economic policies that have never, ever, ever worked in the history of the world, that the governments own watchdog says will make the economy worse than doing nothing would, then we will experience an economic armageddon rivaling the great depression.

And they hyperventilate that if you do not allow them to turn America into a socialist command and control tyranny, that environmental cataclysm will destroy the earth, despite the fact that the Earth has been cooling, not warming, for the last 10 years and despite the fact that the models on which they base their claims have been systematically proven, by peer-reviewed science, not to work.

Yes, everyone uses fear to promote their policy to some degree. The difference is that Republicans address real threats and base their solutions on what has been known to work, while Democrats invent threats and and base their solutions on whatever will secure them more power.

He doesn’t know what he promised. He only read the teleprompter . . . he didn’t actually understand what it said. you’re expecting too much out of this guy.
