What has Happened to the Republican Party?

[meesterperfect]

Newt Gingrich is the perfect representative for the Republican party. Fat, white and angry

Not too racist there.
Good to know that the double standard is alive and well.

So he's a little fat.
That is relevent to what?
He's white.
So race is an issue?
Angry? When he needs to be. That's what we need, a PREZ who has balls.
And btw Obama has got to be the angriest Prez ever, without doubt.

This board is just making me sick lately, that's why I don't come around much anymore.
A lot of insults towards the republicans, but the punk comments with no intelligence to be found.
Like trained dogs, conditioned to react a certain way.
No specific critisicm, just trash talk.

It's not being racist, it's being a bigot. There's a difference. I'm basically stereotyping the Republican party of today.

You're one of the people who make the punk comments on here. You throw out the same GOP talking points and don't back any of it up with concrete evidence. Just saying.

Omega had 4 years to fix the economy, yet he didn't fix it but made it worse, also trying to implement free health care and a social security by forcing people to pay taxes for implementing it was not the wisest choice. Also cutting down some military programs as Obama did, wasn't also a clever thing to do especially for the defense of the United States.

... "solyndra", ...

Your insult aside, Solyndra does reflect on Obama.

Except that the economy is not worse than it was four years ago. It is better. It is not as good as it should be, but we were in a deep recession when Obama took over (quite nearly a depression) and we no longer are. As for our military, the United States is quite safe. No country on the planet has the balls to challenge us on the field of battle. And no country has the balls to even think about invading this nation. As for our "interests abroad", that's some B.S. that largely started after WWII. It is not our job to protect the rest of the world. It is not the responsibility of the U.S. taxpayer to fund roughly one half of the world's military spending. More than a few of us Americans are beginning to wake up to how some of our politicians are selling us out to foreign interests. Say, the Japanese and South Koreans. Why do we pay for our troops to protect them? If they don't want to cover the full cost of our troops being there, then my suggestion is that they (quickly) learn to speak Chinese. I have nothing against them, the Israelis or anybody else. But their security is not my problem, nor is it the problem of the average American citizen. If we hadn't wasted over a trillion dollars in Iraq, and probably close to that amount in Afghanistan, if we had instead focused our attention and our resources on our own nation, it's quite likely that we wouldn't have fallen into recession (at least not one that deep) to begin with. Instead of building infrastructure in Iraq, Afghanistan and where ever else around the world, I'd put those same troops and engineers to work building those very same projects here. Our infrastructure is literally falling apart.

I'm not married to either party. And I wouldn't have a problem voting for a (suitable & sane) Republican over Obama - but those are more rare than unicorns these days. I'm not that pleased with Obama at the moment either. But I would put a pistol in my mouth before I'd vote for another neo-con (like W. Bush) or a some backwards religious whacko (Santorum, Bachmann, et al). And Gingrich? Having him as POTUS would be like the second coming of Warren G. Harding. He's probably smarter than Harding, but at least as corrupt (Boardwalk Empire comes to life: Newt "Nucky" Gingrich). But I would vote for a Republican like Jack Kemp (R.I.P.). Unfortunately, men like Jack Kemp no longer seem welcome in the GOP. People like him (intelligent and thoughtful) are now called RINO's by the grunting, slobbering mob that now runs the outfit. For people who understand the basic differences between socialism vs. communism and fiscal policy vs. monetary policy, the modern Republican party is NOT an inviting place to be.

I continue to like what my buddy said about himself a few weeks ago: "Too mean to be a Democrat. Too smart to be a Republican."

You're the biggest pair of clown shoes that posts on here. Even Sam Fisher is more coherent. You're constantly making shit up and pulling it out of your ass to post like you've got some sort of intellectual high ground when all you've really done is spout off right-wing talking points and then run away like a little bitch when you're called on it. I doubt if you even graduated high school. I hope you leave and stay gone.

Your insult aside

What insult?

 

[lurkingdirk]

Jebus with hedge clippers, trimming Miss Hybrid's pubic hair. This is a thread about the Republican Party, but the normal wanks need to turn it into an Obama bashing thread. That's right...bitch about Obama. That will certainly make the absolutely abysmal Republican field look better.

I'm pondering what it all means. Osama bin Laden dead. Muammar Gaddafi dead. Troops finally home from Iraq. Solid plan in place to bring troops home from Afghanistan. It's amazing the lengths an America-hating socialist Muslim president will go to convince us he really has America's best interests at heart. But I'm not buying it. He's up to something ...

Also, American retailers set an all-time record for sales in 2011 at $4.7 trillion, up 8% from 2010. This obviously poses problems for Repubs, who are fasting and praying that the economy stays in the tank ... well, judging from the film I've seen, probably not fasting. The Mitt grudgingly acknowledged that the economy was getting better, but said the President deserved no credit. "That would be like the rooster taking credit for the rising sun," he said, which appeared clever until a reporter asked him what a rooster was, whereupon the Mitt mentioned hearing one in a movie once. "I think they're about the size of a duck," he said.

Meh, I'm not a huge Obama fan, but to say he's accomplished nothing makes you look like a total fucking idiot. If you maintain that position, no one is going to listen to you, or ever take you seriously again. Wait until the debates start. Obama will have an opportunity to parade some of the things that have been accomplished DESPITE the Republicans.

Obama is going to win the next election handily.

 

[Facetious]

I stayed with the Repubs up until Hurricane Katrina[ . . ] I was for abandoning a sinking ship.

In all fairness, why should the republican party be held responsible for the neglectful inactions of an uncooperative, disagreeable and quite frankly, trojan horse of a mayor like Ray Nagan?
Did Nagan ever have to face charges for anything?

What was Mr. Nagan thinking?

possibilities:

A)You mean those rich republicans in Washington want me to appoint people to the job of loading up thousands of my fellow people onto those lowly school busses and deliver them to higher ground?
How insulting could they be? My people are better than jus loadin 'em up like livestock onto a school bus! Nah, man! Forget it!


B)I will not accept any suggestions from a republican led Washington... period... even if it's the correct thing to do, I will not! I can always blame bush for everything that goes awry... if my fellow brothers and sisters should die in the aftermath of the storm, why, we'll just point our fingers at george w and the people will bite it hook line and sinker... the partisan democratic media will assist me in this matter... watch!

C) all yours

I don't. Although it is a sad field.

I fee sad for any Republican who wanted a sincere and bright candidate that could help America.

Republicans do not help America. Republicans help themselves end of story.

 

[zeeblofowl_1969]

Newt Gingrich is the perfect representative for the Republican party. Fat, white and angry

And a crook who was ejected from congress. Great candidate..........

Right you are. Obama has done more for this country in 3 years then either Bush did in 12.

I'll second that.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Right you are. Obama has done more for this country in 3 years then either Bush did in 12.

You mean 8.

 

[abrogate]

What insult?

Reminds me of what another member who doesn't log on anymore would say. Same kind of ploy

Right you are. Obama has done more for this country in 3 years then either Bush did in 12.

I agree with that and Dirk's post 100%

Interesting view that Laura Bush has...



http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/12/laura-bushs-presidential-wish-for-jeb/?iref=obinsite


My crystal ball says that Obama gets 4 more years and the only thing that beats Christie is a heart attack. No room for Jeb.

 

[StanScratch]

You mean 8.

He is including Daddy Bush in that tally.

 

[zeeblofowl_1969]

You mean 8.

Both family members. Totals 12 years daddy only got 4.

What has happened to the republican party

One of the biggest problems with the republican party is a lack of honesty or a willingness to correct itself in the face of facts and the arrogance to keep pushing a lie.

 

[Mayhem]

One of the biggest problems with the republican party is a lack of honesty or a willingness to correct itself in the face of facts and the arrogance to keep pushing a lie.

Another problem with them is they keep trying to hammer their own "moral" codes and societal standards on a public largely unwilling to embrace them. To put it another way, if America wanted "Traditional Values", there would be no need to campaign for them. They would still be in place. But you cannot tell that to people like Gingrich, et al. This lack of willingness to live in an evolving society is truly stunning in its obtuseness.
