The South Carolina Republican State Chair, Katon Dawson, has announced his bid to become the next Chair of the Republican National Committee. Interestingly enough he belonged to a “whites only” golf club for years. How long ago did he relinquish his membership? Uh…two months ago! When did he begin championing letting “people of color” in? Uh…three months ago! His spokesman Rob Godfrey, called this “gotcha” style Washington politics. Uh, sure, If that’s what you want to call it….
Interestingly enough one of his opponents, Michael Steele, wouldn’t be allowed on the green. This is a good time. If this is where the RNC and the Republican Party wants to go…I say let them! I also say 2010 is looking better and better for the Democrats!
On a side note, where the Hell do these Republicans get their names? I thought Saxby Chambliss was bad, now we get to read about Katon Dawson? And they say my people are elitists…hahahaha

According to a Gallup Poll 61% of Americans think the Republican Party sucks….well not really, they have an “unfavorable” view…but hey that could mean sucks, right?

Well…not that I’m not enjoying the Republican Party eat its own, but where will the carnage end? I guess though as long as they keep going after each other they’ll leave my people alone!!

All I’ve read in the last few days is…”Palin says this” or “Palin says that.” Anybody else feeling like who the Hell cares what Sarah Palin has to say? I just want to say, “Shut the Hell up!”
Apparently Sarah is calling on fellow Republican Governors to put aside petty partisanship and be ready when Washington fails to pick up the pieces. Hello…partisanship! I’m wondering though if she needs to read the definition again?

A new poll suggests the American people are fine with Democrats controlling the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Interestingly enough 62% have a favorable view of the Democratic Party. How did the opposition fair? Not so well, only 38% have a favorable view of the Republican Party.
Well done boys and girls.

Another great Sarah Palin quote…
“I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing,”
Lets disect this quote from our good friend Sarah the Wolf Killin Palin…
“I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years,
Okay. Republicans represent the failures of the last 8 years. I get that, you betcha…
that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration?
Okay, a Republican President and Republican Congress put the American people seriously in debt. Still following ya here Sarah…
How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?
They seriously fucked up the war. I hate to use the “f” word, but really it’s the only one that can do it justice doggone it…
If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing,”
HUH??? Does that lady speak English? WTF is she trying to say here??? I’m not sure she even knows. Which may mean she hit the nail right on the head. I’m not sure the Republican Party even knows what they are representing!

Finally. This is a phenomenon that I have wondered about for a long long time. Why and how did the Republican Party get such a boost from the military and our nation’s veterans? It’s not like more Republicans have served than Democrats, but the military members and veterans kept voting Republican. It’s almost like they kept expecting the Republican Party to have their back, all the while many of them were screwing them daily.
I was appalled in 2004 at the attacks on John Kerry and Max Cleland. Both men served valliantly in Vietnam. Hell, Max gave three limbs for his county yet the Republican Right questioned his patriotism time and time again. It galled me greatly to see Saxby I didn’t serve a day Chambliss question Cleland’s ability to stand up for his country. I kept shouting at the tv, ”Hey asshole, he doesn’t have any legs because he ALREADY stood up for his country.” Or when George “W”here the Hell was I Bush and the Swift Lying Ass Boaters raised questions about John Kerry and his service. Even more of an irritant was the ever bloating and pill popping Limbaugh making such allegations. That fat piece of shit avoided the war due to a boil on his ass. How’s that for irony?
Now, I’ll never make the claim that you have to serve in the military to prove you are a patriot. Hell, you can teach, join the Peace Corps, become a police/fire/EMT, or just about anything else to better your country to show your patriotism. Try exercising your right to vote, now that’s some patriotism! But, man oh man, do I start getting hot when someone hints I am not a patriot because I question the government or don’t believe the same things they do. I usually turn and say, “I picked up a gun and served my country asshole, until you do the same, SHUT THE HELL UP!”
I’m thrilled to see the military and other veterans voting for Democratic candidates. All I can say is, took ya long enough!

Is it just me, or is anyone else amused by how the Republican Party is eating its own? For years I’ve been appalled by the methods they have deployed with their win at all costs campaigns. However, the tide seems to have turned and they are no longer eating only Democrats for lunch.
They are devouring Sarah Palin. Fingers pointed here, fingers pointed there. She’s the reason they lost accusations are dominating the news cycle. Uh, no. No she’s not, but she certainly didn’t help.
She’s called her attackers cowards and jerks. Well hello…that’s your BASE! Enjoy.

Okay so I’ll admit, I’m torn between exasperation and amusement as names for the Republican ticket are tossed out for 2012. Exasperated because, well, I’m over it. The election just ended and we are already talking about campaigning again?!? UGH! Amused…well…lets face it I’m not sure what the Hell Republicans are thinking right now!
We’ve all read that Sarah Palin is a possibility. Now I can think of a number of reasons why that’s amusing, but I’ll limit myself to three: 1.) She is not ready nor qualified, and in my opinion may never be; 2.) She’s far too polarized – likes small government when it comes to personal choices, but you betcha she LOVES those earmarks; 3.) Soon she’ll be about as memorable as Dan Qualye (seriously-what do we remember him for? Not being able to spell potato. What will we remember her for? I’d say her $150k-maybe more- wardrobe.)
I just read Robert Novak pimp Newt Gingrich for a 2012 run in the Washington Post. Now Mr. Novak admits grudgingly that it could be a long shot, but are you kidding me?!? This is the guy with the “Contract On America”…oopsi, meant “Contract With America”. Nah, I really meant Contract On America. This is also the guy many believe was responsible for such partisan fighting and petty grudges the government ended up being shut down. It’s been alledged he was pissed about being ignored on a flight. Do I need to go into his personal life? Hmmm…I shouldn’t but I will. Why? Well because he’s had such a good time ripping the Clinton family, you would think he’d lead an exemplary life. But guess what, he hasn’t! He left his first cancer stricken wife for wife number two, but all’s fair in love and war right? Needless to say he left her as well after having an affair with wife number three! So Newt, before you launch anymore morality attacks take a good hard look in the mirror. On a side note, wife number three may be stuck with him because I can’t think of anyone who’d want to see him naked!!
If they asked me, I’d say find a good message and you may find a good candidate. I somehow doubt any of them will be asking for my opinion!

Okay. Seriously. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this guy. You know why, he sucks. Why does he suck? Max Cleland, need I say more?
This moron garnered more votes in Georgia than the Democrat, Jim Martin, and the Libertarian, Allen Buckley, but didn’t stay above 50%. I would like to take this time to tell the 1,964,894 people in Georgia that voted for Buckley and Chambliss, YOU TOO ARE MORONS.
If this doesn’t tell you where the Republican Party is right now, I don’t know what else would! Well maybe the Senate race in North Carolina… Anyway, back to Saxby Pfucker Chambliss…he couldn’t win Georgia with more than 50% of the vote so they are off to a run off.
I’ve half a mind to get on a plane and go down there and knock on some doors for Martin!
