To: Brian S (#0) Many Americans are talking about how well the Republicans may do in the midterm elections this November. Given how piss-poor Zero is, it is a distinct possiblity. But never discount the ability of the GOP to shoot themselves in the foot. There's plenty of time left I say they can’t win because the Republican Party no longer exists. Oh if that were only true . . . Those who claim to be the Republicans aren’t. And who would those be? The last nominee - John McClown? Olympia Snowe? Susan Collins? Scott Brown? Arlen Sphincter? (oh yeah, that's right. He did join the dems - and had his ass handed to him) The party is dead. Only the name survives. Oh if that were only true . . . This is not the party of Abraham Lincoln. So? Is the dem party still the party of Steven Douglas? Ronald Reagan was far too liberal for today’s Republicans. Bullshit The only thing left is the neocon wing, personified by former Vice President Dick Cheney. What office is Cheney running for? The party is owned by corporate puppets that apologize to BP. Would that be the same BP that contributed to Zero's campaign? The party is led by Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin. Limbaugh holds no nor will he run for elected office. Palin holds no elected office, nor will she be the nominee. You can like them or hate them. But I'd shut up about them if my only alternative were Reid, Pelosi, Biden, et al. Republicans need to take responsibility. Why? They're completely out of power. This trainwreck belongs to Obama and the dems. They need to stand for something more than empty slogans. There are no ideas there anymore. And what ideas did the slogans "hope" and "change" mean? If I could, I would. But I can't, so I won't.

Cheney's present influence can be compared to that of Karl Rove and Henry Kissinger, neither of whom have ever been elected to high party positions.

" Just so you know - there were 41 POTUS' (42 if you count Cleveland twice) before GWB. And over a hundred Congressional sessions. If you think ALL of our current problems began with GWB, you need to go back to school. And a friendly word of advice - try to get over your insane Bush hatred. It's not hurting him (he's retired and living the life of luxury). As bad as I believe Zero to be, I don't hate him. I don't hate ANY politician, really. I just hate what some of them have done and are doing to this once great country. If I could, I would. But I can't, so I won't.

BPPAC made one donation to Obama and it was in 2004 and for $1000.00. Every other donation that has "BP" associated to it came from individual donors who work for BP. war  posted on  2010-07-16   15:15:25 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #16.

I was at a wedding in DC on Saturday and got a call about three hours after I went to bed that my D-I-L was in labor. I drove, quite hungover, to Pittsburgh and flew my wife in from NY. We drove back that night. She's been getting carsick whenever she rides in a regular car and I have a Passat; so I had to drive from Pit to NYC. I did this all on three hours sleep...

To: Badeye (#22) And a friendly word of advice - try to get over your insane Bush hatred. It's not hurting him (he's retired and living the life of luxury). Its incurable. Oh, I always hold out hope. Confession time: I developed quite a strong dislike for the Clintons in the 90s. (I won't go quite so far to call it hatred - but it was close). But then I started frequenting political chat boards, and saw others who had hatreds of their own. (some of the hate was directed to leftists, some to rightists, and some I believe were just personality based.) I came to realize it wasn't a positive trait to have - and I've tried to work on it. (Besides, it's not Christian to hate.) If I could, I would. But I can't, so I won't. Ignore Amos  posted on  2010-07-16   15:37:42 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #25. To: Ignore Amos (#24) I don't hate em personally. Clinton? Hell, I grew up with a kid just like him. I knew what he was the first time I listened seriously to him, during that DNC Convention speech that went on for eeeevvvvveeeerrr in 1988. Honestly, I wish either he OR his wife were President today. At least they understood 'its the economy, stupid!'. Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
