GOP has warnings about shift
Party says Democratic victories would be disastrous

WASHINGTON -- Seeking to boost turnout and sway voters, Republicans are issuing dire warnings about a Democratic victory that would make Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi the speaker of the House and put key Democrats in charge of committees with power to raise taxes, launch investigations and impeach the president.

On Web sites, in news releases and on the campaign trail, the GOP portrays such Democratic lawmakers as New York's Charles Rangel, Michigan's John Conyers, California's Henry Waxman and Massachusetts' Barney Frank as political villains who would overturn or trim major GOP initiatives.

Rarely have potential heads of committees of a new Congress been so vilified by name in opposition campaign material. "I don't see how it will be effective," said Waxman, due to take over the House Government Reform Committee if Democrats win control of the House.

Republicans cite Waxman as a man who would be in charge of "Investigations Central" if Democrats win. The California Democrat said he would be fair and nonpartisan in his probes of fraud, waste and abuse but added that investigations are needed. "The Republicans have given us 12 years of lessons of how not to behave."

1. What's wrong with taxing the rich, launching investigations and impeaching the president?

Scarrrrrry, ain't it?

[DainBramaged]

2. I'd like to test their theory, tell them to resign now.

3. Happy Halloween!

BOOGAH-BOOGAH!

A woman will be in charge of the House!

Illegals will come to your house and eat your children!

Terrorist hijackers will get automatic upgrades to first class!

Gays will have sex on your lawn!

Liberals will make you wear pastels!

BOOGAH-BOOGAH!!!

:scared:

8. That's my platform!

Except for the pastel part...

[Hobarticus]

19. On edit: replace with "dogs and cats living together!"

I think it's a winner!

[Hugin]

20. I could support that...

:thumbsup:

4. Shorter GOP: "The Niggers, Fags, Jews and Dykes are taking over!"

Same shit, different day.

[ps1074]

5. you got that right

Ever since the election season began and republicans found themselves in deep shit, they started scaring the american people with Rangel (black), John Conyers (black), Waxman (black) and Barney Frank (gay).

I am so sick of this shit. This is so racist and xenophobic and it has to stop.

9. And lest we forget, Leiber-bitch has done his share of race-baiting

Is there a Reich Wing commentator who neglected to mention the presence of those scary-ass darkies Sharpton and Jackson appearing within arm's length of Ned Lamont when he gave his acceptance speech in the CT primary? Anyone?

[sabra]

6. you forgot the Jews (Waxman) :-)

[bunkerbuster1]

7. Good catch.

Thank you.

[AnneD]

23. I was about to say...

unless he's been on a congressional junket to Arruba, Waxman seems awfully bright to me.

[NorthernSpy]

10. there'll be blonde party girls, Canadians, race-mixing, and uppity negroes!

11. Sheriff Bart:

"Hey! Where da white women at?!

The GOP needs Mel Brooks to do their ads.

[AnneD]

24. I don't know...

they're damn funny now.

"why spoil such a lovely purl, would a convent take a jewish gurl"

[drm604]

12. God forbid somebody tries to investigate wrongdoing.

That seems to be their dire warning: "vote Democratic and the bastards will investigate us poor widdle Republicans". :eyes:

[grytpype]

13. They sure are worried about impeachment

I don't know why though, it's not like Bush got a blowjob, he just lied us into a war and lost the war, tortured people, and spied on Americans without a warrant. So what's the big damn deal.

Anyway how is this going to turn out voters, do they think people will turn out to save Bush's worthless hide?

[truthisfreedom]

14. so basically they're afraid of having a law-man move into town?

and that's how they're running this election?

[annabanana]

15. yeah.. So much for "tough on crime" crap..

The whole Admin is nothing but a mob, in suits, with near infinite access to money and bombs.

We HAVE to get these thugs OUT OF OUR HOUSE!!

[GeorgeGist]

16. How noble and courageous of them...

to fear being held accountable.

[liberal N proud]

17. I am so afraid...

If those terrible Democrats take over.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

Will McCain actually make good on his promise? Will he kill himself?

:rofl:

[goforit]

18. OOOOgah BOOOOOgah!!! Scare scare scare.

[librechik]

21. cats and dogs living together!

heh--Ghostbusters

[stepnw1f]

22. You Mean the Wealthy will Have to Pay Their Fair Share?

Oh my.... now they won't be able to have that extra cocktail every weekend. Poor poor wealthy people....

[warrens]

25. This is going to backfire

Waste, budget-busting and the deficit, as well as all the exposed fraud, are what concerns real conservatives, perhaps even more than the war. They're embarassed by the huge spending, the bribes, the earmarks, and all that stuff, stuff Republicans were SUPPOSED to oppose.

A lot them will WELCOME Waxman.

26. bully's about to be trapped by their net. tst sts!
