McCain/Palin GOP Party narrows to include Extreme Fringe Elements Only!

The McCain-Palin Republican party of 2008 has narrowed itself into a party of hate, superficial gimmicks (fake Plumbers, plungers, etc...), name calling, lying, insulting and dividing up America.

It is a party of losers, because it is so narrow. They hang candidate in effigy, stereotype minorities, disrespect fellow Americans, Kill small and large animals, steal signs, spew vile, preach racism, slash tires, and lay in the gutter and thrash about.

The Republican party is now the ugliest version of itself, without any ideas, and with a morality geared toward selfishness of purpose.

They talk socialism while their candidate votes for the biggest welfare bill recorded in history aimed at rescuing giant multi million dollar companies, and deny the average people the ability to keep more of their money via middle class tax cuts. They say that Spreading the wealth is bad, which means that concentrating the wealth is good (they just don't get that most of them are not included under that concentrated umbrella).

Their leaders won't provide them with health insurance, but those same two candidates benefit from government paid health insurance. They rail against Social Security, while John McCain collects it.

They are contradictory, self centered, non charitable, frightening, ruthless, incompetent and highly irresponsible.

I could go on, but you know what I mean. It is a party that most patriotic Americans should be ashamed of. It is a bankrupt party that represent the worse of America. They do not like democracy one bit. They hate the constitution even more.

My only solace is that they are self-immolating in their exclamation point.

that's for sure.

not even close.

They claim everyone who is not like them is un-American, its scary to think that they may steal another election.

If we can deliver a sufficient blow in 14 days, it will break.

Morning Joe to get a good laugh,because the Three Stooges are not on during that time. There was Joe talking about "what if" a Republican had done this and had done that. It's so old and weak,how often in history does a VP candidate skip out on interviews but appears on a comedy show.

A person that can't even give a news conference goes on a comedy program, and it is all supposed to be good! Of course, they don't see their own superficiality, and cheapness. They are blind and cannot see.

These people aren't Republicans but animals. The hatred and contempt they show toward their fellow human beings is made more painful because they do so under the mantle of Christianity. They are a group of people that are too stupid to realize that just because you don't agree with a news report doesn't mean that it's biased; it never occurs to them that the politicians they support are protected in the most blatant of ways by FOX News and other right-wing outlets. Imagine if Toe-tappin' Larry of Idaho had been a Democrat or if Hillary Clinton used her office to secure a diplomatic passport for her husband to go overseas and act as a drug mule.

I can't believe that people are truly this stupid but they continue to prove me wrong. I've spoken with my fiscally-conservative friends (calling them Republican would unfairly brand them) and they know the GOP as they knew it was over for good on Sunday. Millions have watched the fanatical Right and its reaction to Gen. Powell's endorsement of Sen. Obama. The bald hatred they saw made them ashamed and made them question the motives of such behavior.

I remember watching Powell give his reasons for supporting Obama and the pain was evident in his face: he knew what was coming Monday morning. He'd be branded a traitor by the very Party that he placed his reputation on the line for. I wish more Republicans would come out against such behavior but I'm not going to hold my breath.

But they used to have enough sense to hide it. And it's their audacity in openly revealing and promoting these attitudes which is the most frightening and shocking thing about it recently. They pulled off their mask, thinking this ugliness would be applauded as it has been in some of our darker times such as the McCarthy era. All they did is remind us of those times, and no one with an ounce of decency wants anything to do with it.

Yes they are marginalized as long as we remember what we saw, because most of all, that is the party of lies and masks of decency. As the Who said, I hope we "Won't get fooled again"...

(It wasn't just a catchy tune, it was what happened.)

Don't waste this spot-on writing!

Also, I wanna say, this would account for the 15 people who came out to greet McC today.

McCain, reputedly a moderate Republican, is running a campaign that seems designed to whip the GOP Base into a frenzy and in the process is turning moderate Republicans and Independents off in a very big way.

I can't understand how running a campaign that appears to be actively turning off anyone but the most died in the wool right wingnuts--you know--the people who think that Bush is doing a great job and who still believe that Iraq attacked us on 9/11 is going to work. These people amount to some 30% of the electorate. Even if they come out in droves to vote, it seems to me at least that this will not be enough.

How can you win an election with just 30% of the electorate? Even Bush went out of his way in 2004 to put moderate elements of the party front and center in 2004 while the right wing smear maching cut the legs out from under John Kerry.

We used to say that Democratic party leaders were one trick ponies who believed in working to turn out the vote in a few swing states, avoid saying anything that might offend some swing voter and essentially ignore the rest of the country. With the exception of Bill Clinton, Democrats proved vulnerable to Republican smear tactics. The swiftboat attacks on Kerry made that clear. The success of the 50 State Strategy in 2006 changed the thinking on party infrastructure, and Obama, wisely, stuck with his Chicago bred campaign staff instead of going with the party wisemen once he became the nominee.

The GOP leaders are showing themselves to be just as limited in thier thinking as the Democrats. Attack and smear, whip up the base is what they know and they're doing it even though the polls are showing that unless something dramatic happens to change the story, it will not work, not this time.

I don't get it, but then what do I know.

It should help us in more local races, too. But, we still have 2 weeks for things to change.

Colin Powell's words were the warning shot across the bow for that party.They've reached a point where I think they are actually starting to scare the general populace with their extremism.
