Democratic strategist David Plouffe compares Republicans to Jesus.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/02/AR2006090200975_2.html

In the House races, three of the likeliest Democratic pickups are in Arizona, Colorado and Iowa, where incumbents are retiring or seeking higher office. But Democratic strategist David Plouffe said this appears to be an unusual election in which incumbent-held districts are as vulnerable as open seats.

"These Republican incumbents are really wearing a crown of thorns right now for people's anxiety and anger about Washington," he said. "The environment favors us, but in open seats you don't have a Republican incumbent you can attach these to."


Anybody heard of David Plouffe before?

There has to be a better way to say that voters are angry at Republicans than to say that Republican Congressmen are "wearing a crown of thorns."

1. Of all the things that can be said about
repugs, that might be on the bottom of my barrel.

2. It does seem like an odd choice of words.

When I think of Christians, I prefer to think of Bill Moyers and St. Francis rather than Jim Dobson and Fred Phelps.

When I think of Republicans, well, I try NOT to think of Republicans, but when it is impossible not to, I don't equate any of them with the higher virtues of any faith.

I think Ken Lay. John Ashcroft. Torture-Boy Gonzales. The Mussolini Wienie Antonin Scalia. Lee Atwater. Kkkarl Rove. The vacuous Bush presidencies. The imbecilic Reagan and his deathsquad hobbyists Negroponte, Abrams and North. Rat-brained Nixon and his treasonous Cabinet. Rick Santorum with his interspecies sex fantasies. Jim Imhofe with his head full of bean mesh. Cement-Head George Allen and his symbolic cross-burning in Breaks, VA last week. Chuck Colson -- pre-Jesus and arm-twisting hit man. The unstable Gordon Liddy. The over-perfumed and undoubtedly marginal Liddy Dole. The grandstanding bigotry of Jesse Helms. The corrupt Ken Blackwell. The gila monster Dick Cheney. Red Whore of Babylon Katherine Harris. The smarmy Don Rumsfeld. The breast-groping Arnold Schwatzenegger. The incompetent CAT BUTCHER Bill Frist. The totalitarian slimeball Mitt Romney. And all the other famous -- or nondescript and anonymous -- pension-stealers, gay-bashers, oil-fat cats, privacy-eroding, war-mongering assholes that comprise the modern-day Republican Party.

I don't think of the ministry of Jesus in association with any of these folks ... at ... all.

4. Suck it up David Plouffe!!! You moron!!
Repukes will not have the honor of Martyrdom, they will pay for their crimes but crucifiction will not be the punishment. You have to die to be a martyr...and you also have to have purpuse, which I cant think of one Repuke that has any purpuse.
