Hard Right
Well, that didn’t take long.
On Friday, Michael Steele became the first African-American chair of the Republican National Committee. Of course it was only a matter of time until the nut-jobs in the lunatic fringe found their way onto the public stage. I actually lost a bet here, as I thought it would be Lord Limbaugh who’d be the first to start the rant-fest. As it turns out, it was former congressperson and KKK member David Duke who threw the first hissy-fit, first calling Steele a racist (pot, meet kettle), then referring to him as “Obama Jr.”. Check this out from his website (www.davidduke.com) and see if you don’t piss yourself laughing as I almost did.
I am glad these traitorous leaders of the Republican Party appointed this Black racist, affirmative action advocate to the head of the Republican party because this will lead to a huge revolt among the Republican base. As a former Republican official, I can tell you that millions of rank-and-file Republicans are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore! We will either take the Republican Party back over the next four years or we will say, “To Hell With the Republican Party!” And we will take 90 percent of Republicans with us into a New Party that will take its current place!
I think the insanity of nominating “Mr. Amnesty” John McCain and now this Black racist — will lead to insurgency in the Republican ranks, and a lot of dissidents getting elected in Republican Party primaries around the country. This will result over the next four years in a real move by millions of Republicans to take the party back to the populist issues that are not only right but can win for the Republican Party. We must end affirmative action, protect our gun rights and all our constitutional rights, have a moratorium on immigration, we must have protectionism, yes I said protect American businesses and their workers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have America First, not foreign interventionism. Our boys should be home protecting the American borders and not being murdered on the borders of
Iraq or Afghanistan. The time has come for the Republican Party to stand up to Obama and defend American heritage, rights, and freedom!
I hate to break this to you, Mr. Duke, but these days you can fit the number of people in America who are still willing to admit to being Republican in the same clown car. Seriously, Republicans are fighting with down-low Gays for closet space. Plus, about that “revolution” that you’re hoping for. News flash, buddy, IT ALREADY HAPPENED. Remember the tension that was going on in the country a couple hundred years ago, some of us refer to it as the Civil War? Well, your side lost, and you missed it. Sorry.
GOPathetic
Ok. As of now, all of the hopes and dreams of the GOP lie with three people. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and now Joe the Plumber. Get that look off your face and pick your jaw up off the floor. You read it right. Joe the Plumber is now a GOP political advisor. According to Politico.com JTP was the featured guest of the Conservative Working Group Tuesday. This is a group of GOP staffers that meet regularly to plot strategy. Joe will be speaking on the Economic Stimulus package (of course he opposes it).
Am I missing something here? This is a guy who claimed to be buying a business that he wasn’t buying, was too stupid to realize that he would benefit from an Obama campaign promise that he opposed, and owed back taxes to boot. And this is who the Republicans want to advise them on the Stimulus package. OH MY FUCKING GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I wonder if he’s going to have to withdraw because of his back taxes. I’m just sayin’
Things I Hate About Obama
I said I’d make this a regular section, and this week President Obama gave me a couple of things to really hate about him.
Is he even TRYING to vet his cabinet appointments?
So far four of his cabinet appointments have had ethical issues, three of which had to withdraw from the process. I have to ask, is Obama doing any kind of background checking on his nominees, or is he just closing his eyes and using the force. Seriously, bro, I know you like these people and all, but for those of us who stand by you, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY EMBARASSING US. You’re actually making the folks that “vetted” Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate look like they did a GOOD job. Worse yet, now that two of your nominees just quit on you in the same day (Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer) you’re now left with filling the posts they were initially nominated for with political sloppy-seconds. Not big in the grandest scheme of things, but to those of us who have to defend you in blogs, let’s just say you’re not making it easy for us.
Thanks for playing, here’s your lovely parting gift.
One of those cabinet positions that Obama had problems filling, Commerce Secretary (that’s the one Bill Richardson had to skip away from) now has a new nominee. NH Senator Judd Gregg, a Republican is Obama’s latest nominee for the position. The reason this is an interesting pick is because while Gregg is a Republican, the Governor of NH, John Lynch is a Democrat, and he would appoint Gregg’s replacement in the senate. Now I’m sure someone in the senate had to be thinking, “YES! 60 at last!” Not so fast. It turns out that a deal was made between Gregg and Lynch that would assure that the seat would be filled by a Republican. Now I wouldn’t begin to accuse Obama of this kind of political gamesmanship to get 60 seats in the senate, but if it was, it was a really sloppy play. Yeah, like the Republicans just weren’t going to see this coming a mile away. It does prove one thing, though. It proves that Obama really doesn’t do partisan politics…at least not well.
They’re just not that into you, O.
I’ve said it before, and now I’m really serious. PRESIDENT OBAMA, STOP PLAYING UP TO THE GOP! THEY REALLY DON’T LIKE YOU!
I mean, really. Dude, you’re trying to talk reason and compromise to people who are taking financial advice from Joe the Plumber. JOE THE FREAKING PLUMBER! They’ve taken their marching orders from Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin is their goddess. In other words, they are catering to the extreme lunatics on the right in their party, and you’re not invited. You’re like the little Black kid trying to play with the White kids in the playground, and they don’t want you to play. You can probably guess why. Whatever the reason, stop wasting your (and our) time with these people. You can pass the stimulus package through congress without them. DO IT NOW AND STOP WITH THE BI-PARTISAN BU–SH–.
