that bush's chief political architect of division, Karl Rove, let the genie out of the bottle with extreme partisan attack politics. After the failed policies of his administration started to sink the nation and everyone woke up, the republicans turned on him, saying that he was never really a conservative at all. Too funny. Whose next? Let's wait and see!

or did he take a page from the Lee Atwater story?

and the GOP is full of assholes.

given the Republican base is Fundamentalist Christian and their mantra has always been "Blame society, blame anyone, but don't blame me. It's not MY fault that I am a closet homosexual, visit male prostitutes, solicit sex in public bathrooms and do meth. It's the fault of a tolerant and diverse society! Blame THEM!"

This is just more of the same. Accept personal responsibility for a change. It's healthy. That's what my religion is all about. Accept responsibility for your own actions.

Eliot Spitzer visited female prostitutes and we republicans love to reproduce so to say that we are homosexual is a very insupportable argument. And I have to say for how embarrassing it is for a governor to be caught with a prostitute I think Spitzer took the brunt of the media very well.
I also think more liberals so methamphetamine's than conservatives. Just read up on the the liberal Berkly movement in the sixties and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Also Buddhist have mantra's and Christians have chapters written by many people so I don't know where you got that.
But mainly I want to tell you that although I totally disagree with you I want you to know I am not attacking you an any way but just your hateful bios to conservatives.

I don't think Altheithinn was eluding that all Republicans were homosexual, but there have been, and probably still are, some who are covering it up because they know they'd be kicked to the curb faster than you can "whistle Dixie".

Also, you should have noticed from all the articles on digg, that if any drug is a favorite, it's Marijuana. It helps clear the mind of anxieties so you can think clearer, unlike alcohol which can dull the thinking process. Also, out of any of them... it's natural. No processing required. Plant, grow, cut, eat or dry, smoke.

Everything you posted was just bigoted and hypocritical.

If one of my fellow Christians said something like similar, I would not condone it and I would certainly bury it. Anyone who agrees with you just prove they have no class.

I think that it's really strange that so many libs try to make points like this one. I dislike both parties personally but I must admit that I have heard several Republicans admit failure and fault. I think it would say a lot if Dems like Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, and...Obama would follow suite. We have all been sold out but tools like the Author of this article and most of you that will post comments are to blind or stupid to see the simple truths that are right in your face.

you'll always have the support of the fundies.

all 24% of them. Just keep claiming that this time you'll legislate an end to abortion.

This is GREAT news! They have always had to have someone to scapegoat to pander to the diverse rushpublicans. Some needed women to scapegoat, Hispanics you name it they needed it to score points. They had so many scapegoats that all the scapegoats voted for President Obama. Now we are watching some more people getting added to their "list". Looks like some of their very own this time around (Steele maybe?). Many Frank Schaeffers and the ones that he has helped defect. We will take them. Make that total vote number bigger than the 69 million we got this past election. 2010 and 2012 YEAH!!! Remember "...Bad news, GOP: voters don’t like what your party is selling. It’s not Steele, it’s not Palin, and believe it or not, it’s not even Bush. It’s your platform, and hell, it’s your track record. This economy didn’t ruin itself, and the ship captain has got to take responsibility for what happens when he’s at the helm...."

in Newsweek or Time that showed Bush as captain of the Titanic, saying how unfortunate it was that that iceberg had to be there in front of the ship.

for a damn thing, why should anything change now?

from the GOoPers on their leadership problem.  Leaders?  We don't need no stinking leaders, and never have.  Via Redstate,This article from the ironically named American Thinker:

 

The truth is that conservatives generally don't have a single leader. They are united by their devotion to the rights of individual citizens, their adherence to traditional morality and the principles of republican government, and their opposition to socialistic meddling with individual freedom. But within that framework of belief, they tolerate and even encourage a diversity of views about specific issues and approaches.

I really don't know what to add.

Talk about denying reality. They've always had a top down semi authoritarian world view. What Dear Leader bush said was pretty much gospel. Now that bushie is gone, well now they can admit that they never thought he was Dear Leader, never, nu uh, no we didn't, no no no, didn't happen, couldn't happen (BTW, RUSH IS GOD!!!).

n/t

it has always worked for them before. They have always been able to blame their failures on anything and everything except the real problem which is the conservative platform. That's why Digby and others were concerned when we were blaming everything on Bush rather than conservatism, she was afraid voters would think another conservative could come in and do a better job. No conservative can come in and make conservatism work--they never have. It always fails. Hell, Reagan's tax rates on the wealthy used to be 50% and when he cut taxes and the economy tanked he had to come back and raise taxes (you never hear Rethugs admit that). They also NEVER have smaller government. They just make the middle class pay for their bigger government and tax cuts for the wealthy. Anyway, the Republicans have always been able to fool the populace and the media that their screw-ups were only the result of X and X is not a real conservative.

IN the end, I'm convince more than 50% of this administration will end up in jail.

Look at Madoff.....his connections to regulators potentially paid to look the other way whilst he got away with murder?

Same thing in the department of energy, except with cocaine and hookers....

And then there's the FDA...looking away....while the market is flooded with poorly tested synthetic pharmaceuticals

Profit Driven, Greed Based manipulation and undermining of our systemic protections...the damage is just starting to reveal itself.

The political mumbo jumbo just keeps on flowing, more than ever.

The Republican playbook right now seems to be:

1) Blame the Liberal Media.

So let's say your unqualified female Vice Presidential candidate can't name one newspaper she reads (maybe because she never reads?), blame her disastrous interview on "gotcha" journalism, but more importantly, blame it on the monolithic Liberal Media.

2) Blame Clinton or the New President.

I find it funny that the Republicans, who were blaming Clinton for the economy two years after Bush became president, don't seem to want to give Obama even two months before they're blaming him for the economy.

Of course, we should have seen this coming when they blamed Clinton for 911 EIGHT MONTHS after Bush was in office and had received multiple warnings about the threat of Al Queda.

3) Blame Affirmative Action or Liberal Guilt.

Let's see, so the Democrats have a black US Senator who went to all the right Ivy League schools, without having to depend on his famous daddy to get in (Bush and McCain anyone?), and who is also articulate and handsome. How do you handle such a person? Oh, I know, blame his successful election on Affirmative Action and "Liberal Guilt."

Let's ignore the fact that Liberal Guilt didn't get Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton elected. Let's also ignore that Obama won several Red States that he wasn't supposed to win, states with people who feel no such guilt for the oppression of minorities (come on, guys, I grew up in South Carolina and let me tell you, Southerners don't have any guilt about black people and Obama still won Virginia and North Carolina).

4) Blame the Democratic Congress, who has been in charge for all of two years.

Ignoring the fact that the housing bubble started long before the Democrats were in office, how the hell can anyone say Bush had nothing to do with the economy when there is video of him discussing his plans to deregulate Fannie and Freddie in 2002?

 

Here's a choice quote from the video.

"First of all, government sponsored corporations that help help to create our mortgage system. I introduced two of leaders here today---they call those people Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the federal home loan banks---will increase their commitments to minority markets by more than 440 billion dollars. I want to thank Leland and Franklin for that commitment. It's a commitment that conforms to their charters as well. It also conforms to their hearts. This means they will purchase more loans made by banks to African American, Hispanics and other minorities, which will encourage home ownership. Freddie Mac will launch 25 initiatives to eliminate HOME OWNERSHIP BARRIERS. Under one of these consumers WITH POOR CREDIT will be able to get a mortgage with an interest rate that automatically goes down after a period of consistent payments."


This playbook is going to cause them to lose big in 2010.

any and all failed GOP policies of the past!

all liberals are hippie flower children, it isn't right for you to assume that all conservatives are "rushpublicans". Trust me, I HATE Rush Limbaugh. He has run the GOP into the dirt with all of the crap that he spits out.

However, demolishing the remnants of the GOP is only half the battle. The vast majority of the Democratic party is worthy of demolition itself.

Your country is been driven over a cliff and will continue down into a bottemless pit of decay and ruin until u have public campaign fiancing and limit campaigns to 45-60 days. Most of your leaders are just whores with their hands out.
Wake up America

the minority party doesn't really have anything to do except whine and blame. The Democrats did it for a lot of years too. I don't blame the Republicans for using what tools they do have to fight an ideology they don't agree with. However... The Democrats gave the President a fair chance. The time period between 9-11 and the lead up to the Iraqi war saw strong support from Democrats on the President's reaction to that particular crisis. Why? For the betterment of the country. It was time to put political fighting aside and just get some work done. The really sad part of this situation today is the Republicans aren't doing that. There is a crisis and they are not taking it seriously. They are offering no solutions. They are praying and publicly hoping for the President, and therefore the American people, to fail.

I'm just asking for the politics to stop for a year or two so we can actually govern and get stuff done. Even if you don't agree with it you have to accept the President won the election in a landslide. The American people want this. The President has a strong majority in congress. It WILL get done. Trying to undermine the markets so he will look bad is just really beneath any acceptable behavior. Give the guy a grace period like we gave Bush. (dumb jokes aside, but you gotta admit he had that coming)

"hey, we don't hate black guys, we hired one (and then fired him after a month)."

Except that black Americans are not going to vote Republican just because they let one black man into the warmth and dryness of the house.

and a lot of us REAL conservatives know it... Right now its just a bunch of arguing and blame placing with both parties and I am really disappointed.

America right now is like 2 guys stranded on a desert island. Instead of going out looking for food, water and shelter, Mr. Republican and Mr. Democrat are sitting around arguing with each other on whose fault it is that they crash landed.

I might register libertarian soon...

It's not that Conservatism fails, it's them failing conservatism.

That's how they operate no personal accountability.

It's amazing that in a party that big they have so few that can actually follow what they spout off about.

Hmm... do you thinking that is as backwards as "creationism" or were you referring to the more "embryos-are-persons" variety of "backwards" thinking?

Nice site, good post, found it ironic that a liberal site would post this since the Democrats have the biggest scapegoat in US history to fall back on.

if they're no inclined to point the finger, why not point it at their own? really? republican should be a synonym for corruption, lies, and failure.

Are we talking real or are we going to include imagined?

a “slumdog millionaire governor,” priceless. Eating your young is the fastest route to extinction.

...for the Puppetmaster's

Come on guys, this is Politics 101

Really? How many times have you heard Obama use the term "I inherited this problem" in the last month? I think he incorporates that line into every public speech he gives and we're talking about the GOP for some reason? Truly Pathetic.

became apparent in September, 2008. It's even listed in Wiki, for god's sake. it isn't about blame- it's about reality.

the GOP knows that its policies failed miserably and that they execute4d them irresponsibly. Now they are trying as hard as possible to distract people from this reality.

How Many People Can the GOP Scapegoat?

Well how many democrats supported Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac? Hasn't the democrats controlled congress the last few years? One of Bush's faults was not vetoing any Democrat spending bills. How many bills will Obama veto from his own party? Probably none...what a change! He has already increased the deficit in 50 days more than all the previous presidents.

it is the people delivering it, or what ever other excuse they choose. it is like a religion to them this is what will keep them stuck in the 20th century.

"This economy didn’t ruin itself, and the ship captain has got to take responsibility for what happens when he’s at the helm."

President Obama - take heed. The eyes have spoken and it really is time for you to do something other than build bridges for Microsoft and more centers of homage to the Kennedy family.

Right?

this is about horses why are you on there
