The Republicans are finished.

[Guaranteed]

Thousands of dead Americans, needlessly, in this hurricane and $4+/gallon gasoline.

They're finished.

[ktowntennesseedem]

1. No they're not! All that stuff is Clinton's fault!

Didn't you get the memo? Why do you hate Murika!?!?!?

:evilgrin:

[Guaranteed]

2. LOL that's funny now. nt

[ktowntennesseedem]

6. Seriously, I'm trying to share you optimism.

I hope you're right!!!

(It's a shame that things have had to sink this low to make anything happen. Problem is that it will probably need to sink a whole lot lower before anything actually happens. Let's hope that by the time people with half-a-brain finally get to turn things around, things haven't sunk so low that they are beyond repair.)

[Guaranteed]

12. They're done.

All that's left is for us to stick it to them.

How long does the list need to get?

This is RIDICULOUS.

A MASSIVE terrorist attack on our soil, followed up by the invasion of a country that never even THREATENED us, costing us hundreds of billions of dollars, killing soon-to-be 2,000 Americans, plus 10's of thousands of Iraqis, and destroying our reputation and tying up our soldiers, not to mention trade and federal deficits that have NEVER been seen before, and now a TOTALLY PREDICTABLE natural disaster that has killed thousands due to lack of preparedness, or even RESPONSE.

IT'S RESIGNATION TIME. GOODBYE, AND GOOD RIDDANCE.

[ktowntennesseedem]

3. duplicate = delete

[Doctor_J]

4. Yeah, right

tomorrow Rove will blast-fax the entire media about how it's Clinton's fault, and by Friday night hate radio and Cabal "news" will be discussing, "How could President Clinton let this happen?"

[Guaranteed]

5. That'll all just be part of it.

They won't even take responsibility.

There's no more bullshitting. It's too much.

[AlCzervik]

11. Not even Rove can Clinton this over, it's too large

[Guaranteed]

13. It is. This is WAY too much.

Needless dead Americans, floating and bloating in the water. Thousands.

No. This is it.

Goodbye, you fascist fucks.

[AlCzervik]

14. i'm still having a really hard time wrapping my head around this thing

i've been watching the news, talked to my friend that lived in LA. but still---maybe it's just too overwhelming to sink in all at once.

[Guaranteed]

19. All that needs to be said is that this is MUCH bigger than 9/11.

This is the worst thing to happen in our country probably since the Civil War.

[KittyWampus]

44. very weird you say that BLG, I've been wondering why the Civil War

popped into my head... Olbermann said the evacuation like NO hadn't happened since then.


I think a lot of the divisiveness in the US is manufactured purposely by mediawhores with intent of helping the GOP keep control. Gives them a rationale for how GOP keeps 'winning' despite how poorly the US is doing.

Can't steal an election without a story line to hide the theft behind.

I don't buy that we are that divided.

Most people are centrists or are willing to compromise.

we got to stick together.

[Guaranteed]

49. I mostly see the media as constantly covering the GOP's ass.

Because the media, after all, are owned by the very same companies who have interests in the GOP agenda.

Different people see different things, though.

I most definitely buy into the fact that we're divided. Those who see through the bullshit, and those who don't, or aren't willing to. That's basically it.

As far as sticking together, the problem is that the neocon goals and agenda aren't for the benefit of our country. They're for the benefit of those millionaires and billionaires who are within the neocon cabal. It makes me angry when those who are supposed to be on our side capitulate to them. They strengthen them and undermine our message at the same time.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. It's on their watch, and they boast of being in charge

Now suffer the consequences, you right wing bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Walt Starr]

8. Thousands of dead Americans doesn't mean doodly squat to Joe Barcalounger

now that $4/gallon gas, that's the one that'll kill 'em!

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. And after 8 years of Democratic prosperity, people will have forgotten.

Again.

I'm beginning to think that people vote Republican specifically for the resulting pain and damage.

[agincourt]

15. They want stuff to go to hell,

so that they can be in the rapture. That's why no matter how crack-ass terrible GWB is, they always support him. It's how to get to the big country club up in the sky.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. Nice of them to fuck things for the rest of us! I am assuming we out

number them. Perhaps they should ponder on that for awhile.

[leesa]

29. They would LOVE for you to beat them, torture them....they LOVE

to be persecuted!
The End Timers are a HUGE part of this insanity that has gripped our country. Anything bad is predicted in Revelations and they will continue to fervently support anything or anyone that contributes to this fantasy.

[Arugula Latte]

33. I often wonder how long they'll hold out for Jeebus comin' back.

If he's not back in 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 years, will they finally say, "You know, I'm not going to believe in this fairy tale anymore."

The early Christians expected him to return aaaaaaaaany day.

Keep waiting, fundies. And why don't you hold your breath while you're at it?

[LeftyMom]

39. Two thousand years and counting

what's a few electigon cycles more?

[burythehatchet]

10. That thought has occurred to me several times in the

past few days. Their facade was crumbling and this tragedy is going to expose their incompetence in a way they cannot spin.

[kerryin2004]

16. I wish I had your optimism.

But these bastards are slimy, and they own the media

[sundog]

17. no, they're like cockroaches

there are always more

[stepnw1f]

25. Good... Because I have Plenty of Raid

and a two feet I will use to step on them with.

[sundog]

27. hehe

*squash*

[Fovea]

18. I agree

there is no evil Osama to disappear into a nebulous Pakistan.

There is only **'s vindictive, jingoist war in Iraq, sucking the money out of America's real security issues. Public services like fire, Nat. Guard, police, health, environment, and equal opportunity and protection under the law.

There is no one to spin this on. And when they point at someone else, the bleeding south, recognizing who has been screwing with them all along is going to kick them into the gutter, light them up, and piss on them to put 'em out.


Goodnight Puggies, sleep well.

[Guaranteed]

21. That means a LOT to me, coming from you,

realpolitik.

Thank you.

[Independent_Liberal]

20. They can only get away with blaming it on Clinton for so long...

...then eventually, the sheeple realize it all happened on their watch and the spin cycle will start to spin itself out. I don't think the "Blame Clinton" spin is working like it used to. I think the sheeple are awake now.

[Guaranteed]

22. The media is ALREADY angry. Hell, even JACK CAFFERTY has been

sticking it to Bush.

That says a helluva lot. The OLD Republicans have had enough.

It's OVER for them.

[leftchick]

23. It was a natural disaster not chimpy's fault

according to freepers. I hope you are right and Americans finally admit what a waste deposit shithead is.

[Guaranteed]

24. No. He didn't even even respond until now (serious profanity warning).

He was on vacation, you see.

The people know what happened. They were hearing about this a week ago. Bush didn't know?

Lick my NUTS, Bushco.

Sorry, that's how I feel about it.

[leftchick]

hey no argument here

you know I like profanity in regard to fuckhead...

[Patchuli]

34. But freepers should admit

that pulling the National Guard away to Iraq and not funding rescue operations, necessary work on levees and the Coast Guard has made this much worse than it had to be. It is squarely in the lap of Republicans and *.

It is hoping for too much to think that pubs can admit to their f'ups?

[Guaranteed]

40. It's a helluva lot bigger f-up than that. nt

[Guaranteed]

28. Someone email Will and get him to write up a grievance list.

ENOUGH!!

I'm sick of this shit. RESIGN.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

30. You're presupposing that the Dem's in power will make an issue of it.

All I hear are crickets, with the exception of the radio voices.

[stevedeshazer]

35. 100% CORRECT.

NOTHING. NOT ONE PEEP.



I submit that the Democratic Party is also dead.

We're on our own now.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

36. Sad to say...

"Second worst Party...ever!"

[wli]

42. My Dems, why have ye forsaken me? n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

43. For a farthing.

[amandae]

47. Honestly, I really think now would be a bad time to start campaigning

Simply leaving Washington to head south to help in the efforts would be a major step. But I think I'd be super pissed right now at anyone using such a huge tragedy to try to secure votes right now. It's just WAY too soon. Especially with all the people still trapped in New Orleans ....

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

50. So wait a week, or two?

Pointing the finger of blame will always be "considered" political. Because it is. Politics is not a dirty word. The fruit of politics can be, though.

[samsingh]

31. this is big

it will make many repugs embarrashed of who they supported.

it also shows us how ignorant and useless the repugs are.

this didn't happen in another country which would allow the ignorant imbeciles like Toby Keith to spew off patriotism to support an illegal war. Neither is it like 911 where bush and his merry imbeciles could point to a foreign enemy and court racism to become heroes.

this is all the cause of bush - global warming, ignoring the environment, ignoring preparations. What was bush doing when it was clear this storm was headed to NO?

[Guaranteed]

32. It's huge.

This bigger than 9/11. 4 1/2+ years into his administration.

There are no excuses.

[zulchzulu]

37. Is the Devil dead? Um....no....

The Repugs are devils. They will find a way in 2006 to steal democracy again.

Count on it. They are zombies without a conscience.

[Guaranteed]

38. Not if we take a strong stand.

This is too much. If we stand up for what is right, they're done. Everyone has already seen it, it is only left up to us to have the courage to stand up.

[wli]

41. the rethugs resurfaced after causing the first Great Depression

Now they've caused a second. Will they ever learn?

[Roxy66]

45. I heard on "The Tony Snow Show" today.....

Someone was filling in for Tony Snow and they were introducing Mann Coulter. He said he got an e-mail from a "Liberal" saying how they hope the Red States and Republicans understand what they did by voting for Bush...implying the liberals feel the Republicans got what they deserve for voting for Bush.....It was so GROSS

[amandae]

46. Don't forget the slow response time ... and where is our National Guard??

Oh, yeah. Defending us in Iraq. So perhaps thousands will die in our South just because people couldn't rescue them fast enough, because we waged a slap-ass war and have now stretched ourselves too thin. Who the hell can remember why we went over to Iraq, the reasons were so shady to begin with. The Republicans have a LOT of blood on their hands from the last few years. Both in Afghanistan and Iraq and now in the lives of those we are losing in the south simply because no one was there to help them fast enough.

I remember more people responding to natural disasters in the past. Am I wrong in that?? I loved how the governor of LA stumbled when asked directly whether or not the president had told her he wanted to come down to LA. Unlike the governor of Mississippi, she couldn't lie and say, "Yes, he has and I told him to stay away." She said that he should come down and see firsthand the devastation. From her responses, you could clearly discern that the president had NOT offered to come down and to see it.

I do like how all the news pundits remark that the resident cut his vacation short to take care of the response and recovery IN WASHINGTON. He was closer to it all in TX.

Poor baby had to cut his vacation short. When you're given 24 out of 52 weeks in vacation per year, do they carry over when you haven't used them all or do you just lose them at the end of the year?

[mitchum]

48. I agree, but it will make them desperate and even more dangerous

[regnaD kciN]

51. I wish I agreed with you...

...but look at it this way: except for the hurricane (which few people will blame on the Republicans), virtually every bit of this, including soaring gas prices, was in effect by autumn of last year. And a majority of voters still cast their ballots for another four years of Chimpy.

:-(
