Warning. Self destruct sequence initiated. 10...9...8...
Even the hard core are turning on the liar in chief. Somebody at the RNC must have pushed the big red self-destruct button.

-----quote---

George W. Bush, who will never again run for office, is selfishly destroying the Republican Party. He is molding the Republican Party into the Party of Big Business and Big Government.

-- Phyllis Schlafly

5. It strikes me as a remarkably stupid thing to say
IF they have the elections rigged as many believe.

10. We are talking about Republicans, right?
THEY DON'T CARE ANYMORE! They control everything and will continue to do so unless we (The Real Democratic Party) starts getting real nasty. Not like these DLC DINO's are doing, sticking their heads up their butts and and beating the * war drums.

13. If their "loyal base" starts questioning things
and change the way they vote, they WILL notice come November if things look hokey. Especially if people like this start running at the mouth. The last thing they can afford is for people to start questioning election results openly.

18. I hope you are right, I really do. It's just the way they have been
acting lately has weirded me out. It's like they really don't give a crap what we the people think, many dems in office included.

20. Arrogance.
And arrogance has brought the downfall of many a powerful person. Their arrogance is our ally.

4. I have to wipe a tear from my eye
A batshit religiously insane constitution hating zealot speaking truth to the power she sees slipping from her ugly little hands. He's your monster, madam frankenstein. As I fondly reread your whiny little sentence, a quote from another of your creations comes to mind, go fuck yourself.

6. LOL. Well put.
I was about to write that she is the quintessence of banal evil. I should leave out "banal"

8. Howdy Neighbor (almost)
we are across the state line in Mississippi about 15 miles northeast of Slidell. My head's (and real estate) is in Mississippi but my heart will always be in Louisiana.

16. Thanks. I've always enjoyed your posts.

Schlafly is proof that an advanced degree is no guarantee of knowledge.

I was a charter member of the Council for National Policy, and it is a great organization. It has all the best people in it.

— Phyllis Schlafly, Eagle Forum

Current and past members include Ralph Reed, James Dobson, Tim LaHaye, Richard Viguerie, John Kyl, Edwin Meese, Gary North, Richard De Vos, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Joseph Coors, Howard Phillips, the Hunt brothers, and many more.

I'm reminded of the Simpson's episode where the local Republican party meets to discuss strategy.
And if she feels this way, I wonder what the others can be thinking - probably about how to preserve their power and cut their obvious tether from those Repubs who screwed up the public's perception of the righteous. This should be fascinating to watch.

19. "The best people"
Phyllis, what a hoot. I'm living proof that a College Degree is not a hard thing to get. I got a sheepskin on my wall and other than a Chemistry course that kicked my ass it was a relatively easy four years.

Council for National Policy. Hate, hate, hate. In the name of Jesus. Republicans on the Simpsons. I'm having a hard time hunting and pecking visualizing the previous sentence and trying to suppress my chuckles.

21. Please don't flame me - but who is this lady that you all are going off
on?

I have been busy fighting the war of disinformation and did not see her while I have been in the trenches.

22. Lucky you!
But you have probably heard of her and just aren't connecting the name.

She's a real self-loathing piece of work. Read it and weep:

23. Don't give Phyllis too much credit...
...if you read the piece, it's mostly an anti-immigration screed. I still love the fact that his base is turning against him, though.
