Given the recent fulfillment of congressinal leadership positions in the GOP, I’m reminded that a political party is just a vessel. It is not the expression of the people’s beliefs that make up that party. Let me clarify. A political……

The choice for the foreseeable future is between voting for a Lefty with a D behind his name, and a Lefty with an R, so spending some time in the wilderness is going to happen regardless.

Yeah, Republicans who spent the last two years interfering in court cases to “save” braindead Florida women, obsessed over trying to outlaw flag burning, gay marriage and interstate abortion.

Yeah, man, LIBERALS.

Cancelling registrations won’t help; the Rs have made it clear that they have no interest in our votes.

So what now? Do we start a third party, or is there one already that we get behind? We have no way to clean out the Rs; we just tried.

Might some current Republicans (Pence, Shadegg, anyone who voted for those two…) be interested in jumping ship? Are there any Ds who ran as conservatives and meant it?

The choice for the foreseeable future is between voting for a Lefty with a D behind his name, and a Lefty with an R, so spending some time in the wilderness is going to happen regardless. Might as well spend it doing something constructive.

There’s no hope for the future with these congenital retards.

Meet the Old Boss, Same as the Old Boss
House Republicans have elected their leaders for the 110th Congress. Majority Leader John Boehner beat Rep. Mike Pence to become minority leader, and Majority Whip Roy Blunt defeated Rep. John Shadegg for the post of minority whip. Neither race was even close: Boehner prevailed 168-27, with a single vote going to Rep. Joe Barton, and Blunt’s margin was a closer but still-comfy 147-57.

Some argued that the GOP would have been better off dumping the Boehner-Blunt “old guard” in favor of the “reformists” Pence and Shadegg. But hey, who better to lead the GOP minority than the men who helped create it?

According to most polls, more than 50% of the country doesn’t even KNOW who Nancy Pelosi is.

And still they hate democrats! Wait till they get to know her!

Hey, sorry, but if they just hate us less, we still win :)

Disapproval of congressional leaders is a very strange question to ask, anyway. According to most polls, more than 50% of the country doesn’t even KNOW who Nancy Pelosi is. Seems more likely than not that people use those questions to attack Congress in general.

CNN Poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation. Oct. 13-15, 2006. N=approx. 500 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4.5.

“Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job?”

Disapprove 54%

8/30 – 9/2/06 Approve 35%
Disapprove 57%

Anybody can manipulate polls as I demonstrated here to tar and feather your opponent.

“We’re going to work as a team and we are going to earn our way back into our majority,” Boehner of Ohio said at a press conference after winning the leadership post on his birthday. “We need to fight for a smaller, less-costly, and more accountable federal government.”

Huh? Mr. Boehner, is this an ’08 campaign statement or is this for real this time?

And does the senate minority leadership share that spirit?

Damn, you said it. Why do I get the feeling that the Bastards on both sides of the aisle are exactly the same? They want the same things, great personal enrichment and bringing the money back home.

When we start grumbling, one side screams, “they are going to take away your right to chose” and the other, “we must protect marriage.”

Other than that, they are a club that we schlubs just aren’t invited to.

Crap.

Mike Pence went on Laura Ingraham and said he would filibuster any attempt of passing an Amnesty Bill.

This is just another preemptive strike by GWB.

It is the same thing with Mel Martinez.

When was the last time a sitting Senator ran the RNC?

GWB is demonstrating that he intentionally threw the elections so that he could do an end run around the Republican Congress that said no to Amnesty.

GWB is selling out the Base and is selling out all Americans in the name of Free Trade and the North American Union.

Update: McCain calls for a return to conservative principles, which to him presumably means amnesty and infringements on free speech.

…McCain…*RETURN* to conservative princples…that’d be like Britney Spears returning to her still-warm seat at the Stephen Hawking lecture the nature of time, matter, the universe and all that other Stephen Hawking stuff.

…er…

…anyway, you’d've had to be there *ONCE* to return….
