It's good to have dreams and aspirations, isn't it? Too bad that the Republican party's aspirations appear to be centered on destroying the country. After two decades of nearly unfettered access to run the nation, the Republicans are trying their damndest to obstruct and torpedo the stimulus bill and any success that President Obama might have.

And they actually think this will win them supporters. Astonishing. Even David Frum, who hasn't seen a really bad idea he wouldn't cheerlead, as long as it came out of the mouth of a Republican, thinks the GOP is "brain dead".

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) goes on FOX News and vows that the Republican Party will cancel the stimulus bill if they retake the majority in 2010.

All I can tell you, buddy, is that you just keep talking like that. Keep proving how out of touch with what's really happening with Americans right now. Keep showing how petty and petulant and how you place party over country. We'll see about that majority in 2010 with that attitude.

1. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts

that dude would be on a sugar high.

2. My favorite part of the clip...

...is Hannity saying "This is a great place to start, right here!"

Because we all know that the "Limbaugh is in charge" headlines MUST be killing poor Sean.

:rofl:

[elocs]

3. Then they would know what it is like to be unable to override a presidential veto. n/t

[Bette Noir]

15. Exactly.

[geckosfeet]

4. Yeah. Vote for us - we'll give you money. Is that all the republics have left?

[daggahead]

26. Wouldn't that, sort of, be like socialism? n/t

[DainBramaged]

5. They have the same chance of retaking the majority as I do of growing another ball

[Caretha]

16. Me too

and I'm a woman.

[Piewhacket]

6. Here's a stimulus for republican brains: Cattle Prod!

[stevedeshazer]

7. So Gomer thinks the Repubs can overcome a 77-seat majority?

Next year?

:rofl:

8. it's all they got... be nice.

12. That's funny. I really laughed when I read that.

"It's all they got... be nice."

:hi:

[Divine Discontent]

24. HAHAHA>... thanks for reminding me of my line - made me laugh again! thank you! :)

:hi:

9. It's fun to dream isn't it?

And if tomorrow I develop superpowers, I would turn all Republicans into janitors for the rest of their lives. It has about as much chance of happening as the 'pukes taking back Congress in 2010.

10. He must've gotten into Rush's stash

[LynnTheDem]

11. FABULOUS to have this on video! Keep it on hand to play over & over again in 2010.

Remind We The People who will "cancel" on them.

[Jefferson23]

13. Desperate idiots.

[quidam56]

14. Hannity's Patriotic holier than thou America sure ain't my America

He calls Bush a heroic leader who kept US safe from terrorist attacks since 9/11. http://www.wisecountyissues.com Bush was/is a toxic terrorist in Appalachia where we've been bombed, blasted and bulldozed right into 3rd world America !

[Turborama]

17. Isn't trying to buy votes illegal? n/t

[iamthebandfanman]

18. lol, yeah... going against the majority of the american people

will put you back in power.

yeah, thats the ticket!

[Idealism]

19. Since when did "spendulous" become enshrined in the dictionary?

Stop butchering my language!

[GreenTea]

20. For more corporate tax breaks, subsides, off-shore accounts, out-sourcing, bankruptcies & bailouts!

And corporate bonuses for fucking up & stealing everything. Via smokescreens for the republicans wars for profit.

(Stealing the workers taxes).

True socialism for the rich & their corporations.

Fucking slimy god-damn republicans!

[Suji to Seoul]

21. Nice message: Republicans give to millionaire bankers, but tell the average American to fuck off

Good luck winning anything with that message, other than your safe, gerrymandered districts.

What happened in the two elections is simple: Swing Republicans districts went Democratic and the existing asshole Republican Party got MORE conservative.

No we can't. No we can't. No we won't! There's the mantra of the Republican Party.

[Salloot299]

22. It's encouraging to see that...

the Republicans are so delusional that they still haven't realized the dire straights the party is in. If they don't watch it their minority status will be set in stone for at least a decade

[beac]

23. Ignorance and delusion is the cornerstone of the G-NO-P. Unfortunately for them,

most of America has finally figured that out. Smart is back in style!



And WELCOME to DU! :hi:

[daggahead]

25. You know ... I just want to punch Shammity in the face.

I can't stand listening to him.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

27. I really hope more Republican pigs come out and say things like this on TV

The American people by and large want this stimulus. If the American people think that the Republicans are trying to block this, which they most definitely are, you can definitely count on a Democratic majority for years to come. Republicans will go the way of the Tory.
