Ha ha - Limbots are furious at the head of the RNC
There's been a little dust-up over in mind-numbed-RobotLand. As has been mentioned elsewhere on DU, Republicans aren't happy about the explosion of federal spending under President Crook. On top of that, it seems that Ed Gillespie, the head of the Republican National Committee, had some things to say about the subject as well. Apparently Rush Slimeball had a fit upon finding out about this. Mr. Gillespie tried to do some damage control, resulting in a contrite call to the Propagandaminister to assure him that he didn't really say those things (warning: this link has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals).

Whew! Glad's that's over, right? Not exactly. The same paper that published their talk with Gillespie came back to say that he did indeed say those things. This is fun!

1. Rush has issued a plea
"I gave Gillespie the benefit of the doubt throughout Tuesday's show - and I want all of you to do the same. Please do not call the RNC and harass them over this."

You know what this means, Dems! Go to it!

3. Has anybody figured out just exactly
what whistle-ass is anyway? I mean besides a ridiculous rotting meat puppet? He's like a snake charmer leading cockroaches and troglodytes.

4. gillespie really made their blood boil, look at this snip from the article
No longer does the Republican Party stand for shrinking the federal government, for scaling back its encroachment into the lives of Americans, or for carrying the banner of federalism into the political battles of the day.

No, today the Republican Party stands for giving the American people whatever the latest polls say they want. The people want the federal government to tell states how to run local schools? Then that’s what the Republican Party wants, too. The people want expanded entitlement programs and a federal government that attends to their every desire, no matter how frivolous? Then that’s what the Republican Party wants, too.

The party’s unofficial but clear message to conservatives is: Where else are you going to go? To the Democrats? To the Libertarians? They don’t think so





Has hell frozen over???:evilgrin:

5. A wise candidate will harp on this issue over and over and over
The current Repubs do not stand for any of the things traditionally associated with the R party. They are, in fact, increasing spending, increasing the deficient, meddling mercilessly in the private lives of citizens, and destroying the environment which is the basis of our collective wealth.

6. There was another quote by the RNC here a couple of days ago
I am unable to do a search because I lost my star but it was something to the effect that a deficit was like carpenter ants eating at the foundation of our society. If someone can search that out it would be nice to post it a few times in hopes more people will see it and see more of the hypocrisy that rules the GOP. It was from 1995 by the head of the National RNC
