I am not exactly a friend to the Republican party. Gee really?
But if I were, I would tell them to be very careful who they allow to represent them in the coming years. Rush Limbaugh is a deeply flawed, hateful man, with an ego so big that he requires around four hundred pounds of body just to carry it around.
Essentially the Republicans need to clear their Presidential hopeful roster of Bobby Jindal, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Huckabee, and just start all over from scratch. That line up is a guaranteed loser and I really believe that many of them know it.
They need to find some energetic young businessman who is not a racist, a sexist, or a simple minded free market enthusiast. Perhaps somebody who does not think that slashing taxes will cure cancer and every other possible ailment known to mankind. A man, or woman, who REALLY wants to shrink the government in a responsible way, without taking it to such an extreme that it leaves citizens of this country without enough government protection to keep them from being victimized by big business, or losing their homes due to unscrupulous banking practices, or being forced to go without health care because insurance companies consider them a bad gamble. THAT candidate may actually have chance in 2012.
Oh they will still lose. But it may not be by such an overwhelming margin next time.
And perhaps they should look into changing their name as well. I mean the "Republican party" moniker has been damaged almost beyond repair. You know like when Blackwater changed their name to Xe.
Perhaps they could call themselves the "We like Black people too" party, or the "$100,000 a year or more" party, or the "Please give us another chance, we promise not to start anymore war" party. ANYTHING besides the "GOP" or the "Republican party".
I'm with you except for holding the next election in 1012.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out Sandra. I fixed it.
ReplyDeleteYou know sometimes you are just typing along and you get confused between an upcoming Presidential election and when Pope Benedict VIII succeeded Pope Sergius IV as the 143rd pope.
Could happen to anybody.
Yeah...I Ginormous drugged addicted Windbag Limpah is their rep, they are in serious trouble,lol.
ReplyDeleteThey could change their name to something like "American Taliban"
"The party of NO"
"Team Taliban"?
The thing I like about Limberger leading the Republicans is that they can't win with him. The further they move to the right, the better; at least anyone with a brain will see them for who they actually are. They are no longer hiding behind blue-blood texans or rhodes scholar louisianains (sp?) [Can you believe Jindal is a Rhodes scholar? ]
ReplyDeleteThey aren't hiding behind some almost palatable suit who will give the dems a run for their money; they are instead letting it all hang out and we can see them for the brown shirt fascists they've always been...a little honesty at last!
Jean...you are right it is hilarious to see Ivy League educated Michael Steele and Rhodes scholar Bobby Brady Jindal genuflecting to their leader, the fat, sweaty, ignorant, drug addict Rush Limbaugh. Have they no pride?
ReplyDeleteThe GOP knows that their "base" is shrinking and they do not have enough votes to win national elections or even statewide elections in anywhere but the very reddest states. Yet, they still align themselves with a divisive "entertainer" to placate their wingnuts. I don't get it, but whatev...
Well, as they say, 'Money talks, and bullsh*t walks'...
ReplyDeleteLimpballs HAS TONS AND TONS of money (What does he get - something like $400 MILLION/year?), so the bullsh*t guys have to clamber all over themselves, trying to curtesy and brownnose the BIG MONEY BAG, hoping some of the flatulence from it will hit them...
