The Brighter Rs Must Realize That * Has Doomed Their Party

[stopbush]

Dontcha think? The lying, the scandals, everything. The country doesn't trust * and -
more important - they have stopped listening to him except to deride him. * is now
solidly late-night comic fodder and nothing else. Even the MSM has started taking
potshots at him.

If I was a Rethug, I would be seriously concerned about having this guy in office
until 2008. I would be fearful of the Ds taking the House in '06 and sweeping the
Rs out of the Congress and the WH in '08. And I would fear that I'd be one of the
casualties of *'s disastrous reign of error.

The Rs could well be headed to permanent minority status if not extinction. There's only
one thing that can save them - continuing vote fraud. Ds need to embrace vote fraud
as an issue NOW, because the Rs will most certainly embrace it if and when the Ds
break through and regain some political power.

1. They've seen it coming like people without cars saw Katrina

They've seen it coming, and they've known it would be Big Trouble -- and that they wouldn't be able to get away from it (or with it).

Karma is a bitch, but only to the evil.

2. You would think, but just how long did it take them to get over Nixon?

Six years, they elected Reagan and did more damage than Nixon could of dreamt of in his most paranoid fantasy.

3. Until the yoke of the media is broken

the Rs are not doomed . . .

5. The brighter Rs? All four of them?

Unless by "bright" you mean the more clever criminals...

8. Brighter is a relative term.

As in Chuck Hagel is brighter than Rick Santorum.

6. Yep. After all, Nixon 'doomed' the Republican Party for all of ...

10. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Ronald Reagan's running

mate, the Ayatollah Khomeini and his 50+ hostages (with the Soviet Union ready to pounce on any military action we might take . . .)

That's the "malaise" that they don't mention when they talk about the 'disaster' that was the Carter presidency.

Reagan thought he was in a movie and played it well . . . knowing full well if he actually pulled off any of the things he claimed in the campaign, it would have set off World War III . . . and the Earth might have been a radioactive cinder floating around in space . . . and, if the Religious Reichies actually ARE right about life in the universe, then we'd have totally fucked up God's creation . . . ironically, by the people who claimed that they were doing the Work of God . . .

that his party will take a beating this fall.

11. A Republican Professor I still keep in touch with from my college days...

Views whats happened as the end of Republican Majority. He thinks everything goes in cycles of 25 years. Well, if Bill Clinton hadn't come along it would have been likely to have had Republican Presidents from 1980 to the present. That's 28 years.

12. Naw, that Party was a clunker already

Bush and the Gang filled the tank with nitro and sure ran it into the ground good, though.
