Many Americans are talking about how well the Republicans may do in the midterm elections this November. I say they can’t win because the Republican Party no longer exists. Those who claim to be the Republicans aren’t. The party is dead. Only the name survives.

This is not the party of Abraham Lincoln. Ronald Reagan was far too liberal for today’s Republicans. The only thing left is the neocon wing, personified by former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The party is owned by corporate puppets that apologize to BP. The party is led by Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.

Republicans need to take responsibility. They need to stand for something more than empty slogans. There are no ideas there anymore.

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?

Oh geezus fucking cripes...you think you read it on the internet so it has to be correct?

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.
