The Grand Old Party is in trouble - Edward Daley (parody?)

[cascadiance]

I kept wondering if I was reading the Onion or something here, as this guy was SO off the wall! He is a perfect example of WHY we need to give the wingnuts in control of our country now a complete come uppance and severe case of humbling! It's people like this that really need to live with their tail between their legs for a while to get a dose of reality!

Read if you dare this bum's answers to the Republican debate! About the only thing I think I might agree with him (but probably for different reasons) is his opinion of the mainstream media!

The Grand Old Party is in trouble

Edward Daley
May 5, 2007



Apparently the entire Republican party has lost its collective mind, as is evidenced by the fact that the GOP's presidential candidates agreed to let a partisan, liberal hatchet-man like Chris Matthews<1> run their first national debate<2> on Thursday evening. Along for the ride were John Harris<3> and Jim VandeHei<4> of The Politico.com, who's questions actually made Matthews' blatantly anti-rightwing interrogatives seem almost unbiased in comparison.

...

The following is a list of all but a handful of the questions posed to the various presidential candidates at the GOP debate. The ones I've left out were either candidate-specific, or simply too annoying for me to address. Most of them have not been transcribed verbatim in this article, however, I believe that I've paraphrased them in a reasonable manner, and following each one I have inserted my own answers for your consideration.

...

Q — A recent Zogby poll shows that in moderate Islamic countries, only 12 percent of the people support us, the rest hate us. Doesn't that create a sea of recruitment opportunity for our enemy? Do we have to reduce that temperature of hatred before we win the war?

A — No, we need to INCREASE the temperature in the Middle East by dropping a few nuclear bombs on Syria and Iran.

3. What a nutcase!

The only thing I agreed with him about was that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to institute the Soviet system of government. Not that anyone has been suggesting that!!!!

Fortunately, I note that he was born in Canada; so presumably isn't eligible to run for president.
