10 Republicans Who Should Go Away

[Lasher]

1. William Kristol
2. Sarah Palin
3. Michelle Malkin
4. Dick Morris
5. Dick Cheney
6. Mitt Romney
7. Alan Greenspan
8. Bill O'Reilly
9. Sean Hannity

10.George Bush

I've saved the best for last. The 'Decider' will go down as the worst President in the history of the United States, and as Chris Rock put it "Bush is not just the worst ever president of the USA, he’s the worst ever president, period. Of anything." It's hard to top the hyperbole commentators have used in describing just how bad Bush really was, because there aren't really words to do it justice. Bush has presided over monumental fuck up after monumental fuck up, groping his way through the president with the finesse of a 800lb gorilla. I tried to come up with a list of accomplishments he has achieved, and came up with the following:

1. He has increased financial support to Africa to alleviate AIDs and poverty.

2. ............

Uh, that's it.

He has presided over two disastrous wars, an increase in poverty at home, an increase in wealth inequality, an increase in the number of people without health care, a crisis in public education, the break down of national infrastructure, the literal drowning of a city, the use of torture as official policy, the biggest financial crisis in 80 years, and the irreversable decline of America's prestige abroad. Here is something to think about. Every ex President (aside from Ronald Reagan who had alzheimers) has a role to play in public life after office. They give advice, do lecture tours, write books, sit on boards of huge companies and head non-profit organizations. How many people do you think will be itching to receive advice from W? How many companies would have him on their board? Who would buy his autobiography? Who would pay to hear him speak? No one. And that pretty much sums it up.

1. But Rush and Karl can stay? n/t

[Tutonic]

9. Yeah so that we can try their smelly asses!

[liberal N proud]

2. Bu$h and Cheney will go a way in 2 months

They will have to disappear to avoid criminal charges.

Rush Limpbaugh and KKKarl Rove should be on that list, they are mouthpieces for the rest of the list.

3. We only get to kick 10 off the Island???

Nooooooooooo!!!

4. Well as you can see upthread it's hard to pick just 10.

If I had developed the list myself I might have tried to fit Richard Pearle in there somewhere. Amazingly, he has the nerve to publicly offer advice to Obama - and it pretty much consists of neocons' wish list of additional countries they wanted to invade but never quite got around to it.

19. The only problem there is:

Richard Perle started his career as a legislative aide to Sen. Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson (D-WA) and has made a career of skirting both sides of the fence to forward his ambitions and objectives. His personal brand of neo-conservatism does not coincide with either political party. It's hard to pin a cohesive political philosophy to him: Republican, Democratic or otherwise. He seems willing to get into bed with anybody if it benefits his own strategic goals. His only loyalty lies with PNAC and his desire to shape US military policy towards a global war over the reformation of the Middle East.

By that, he is worse than any Republican...he's a single-issue ideologue with an agenda.

Why is he offering Obama advice really? Because he needs to stay on the inside in order to maintain his push in the slow long march towards a nuclear armageddon he's convinced he can win. If he thought it would get him a seat in the Obama administration from which to operate, he'd be spilling his guts out about Bush and Cheney's war crimes to the first major newspaper he could get on the phone.

22. There is no "problem" - "scoop" jackson was a pre-eminent ASS in his own time!

He was a fucking REPUKE only calling himself a "Democrat".

He was a fucking WAR HAWK - and was responsible for the continuation of the Vietnam War.

That ass jackson was not "the other side of the fence" at all - he was the same BANKRUPT CONSERVATIVE RIGHT WING side of the "fence"...

[Lasher]

23. The Prince of Darkness is not unique in that.

Most neoconservatives of the 1970s were liberals who became disenchanted with the post-Vietnam leftward drift of the Democratic party. Most gravitated toward the hawkish Reagan GOP and transformed the Republican party over time into what we have known it to be during the past 8 years. Joe Lieberman is one neocon who has not so far followed this stereotype of party affiliation.

The neocons are the Republican party of today, at least insofar as foreign policy is concerned. And in that respect it is not accurate to say Pearle is worse than a Republican. But your point is well taken, since he and every one of the neocons of today are much worse than any Republican would have been 40 years ago, or one who still holds dear the GOP values of that period.

To me there is no ideological group that is more sinister than the neocons. It is very important that every single one is purged from any and all involvement in the new administration.

5. As quickly as possible

Any suggestions from Du'ers as to where they should go? My recommendations:

Jail definitely for W. and Cheney.

A monastery the practices total silence for Kristol, O'Reilly, and Hannity.

Maximum security psychiatric institutions for Palin, Coulter and Limbaugh.

BTW I am urging everyone to boycott Oprah or any book publisher, product or showbiz outfit if they sign on Sarah Palin.

[Brazenly Liberal]

6. Not Sarah!

We need her out there just being Sarah to guarantee the Dems get that super duper majority in 2010. ;)

Besides, she and Toddy and Lugnut and Trench and Sport and the rest of the Palin Pack perform a public service every day making all sorts of crazy families feel normal by comparison.

Gawdhelpme, I admit it. I love the Sarah Palin Freak Show. To use a cliche that does need to go away, it's the gift that just keeps on giving.

[Brazenly Liberal]

7. I nominate Ed Rogers to take Sarah's place.

In a field jam packed with annoying people, Ed Rogers has to be THE most annoying GOP spokesliar of them all.

You couldn't pull a straight pin out of that man's ass with a pair of pliers.

[Lasher]

8. OK let's have some fun.

1. William Kristol
2. Ed Rogers
3. Michelle Malkin
4. Karl Rove

10. You Need to Add

Lieberman

[Lasher]

14. Best idea I've seen all day. n/t

[Myrina]

12. I'd like to add the 2 I work with to that list, please ...

... I am just so fucking OVER listening to them hijack meetings to bloviate Rush's talking points onto everyone within earshot ...

:spank:

[Lasher]

13. Now it's your turn, Myrina

Next time they start reciting their talking points about what can be done next to ruin the country even more tell them we're not going to be doing that kind of thing anymore because now we have a Democrat for president and many more in Congress.

Tell them elections have consequences and they need to just

GET OVER IT!

[Myrina]

17. I LIKE your idea!

Or, I could make my standard reply "Why do you hate America?" and "Why don't you support freedom?" and all that blathering bullshit they slogan'd us to death with in their half-assed attempts to avoid real discourse over the past 8 years ...

[Lasher]

18. I have already used, 'Why do you hate the troops?' n/t

[yellowcanine]

15. Ten is not enough. I want Newtie on there for one. And Grover. Paul Wolfiwitz. G. Gordon Liddy.

Freddy Barnes.

[yurbud]

16. we need them to stick around to remind people of how seriously GOP fucked up

Nothing keeps the stink of failure fresh like demagogues who won't get off the stage. I hope they have a long, visible public profile and never figure out that people are keeping them around to laugh at them.

[ksimons]

20. it's a beginning, although

they are probably going to fade away from insignificance anyway, which is worse than being talked about badly anyway. They say, the only bad publicity is NO publicity. Fade.... fade..... fade awayyyyyyyyy

[OnyxCollie]

21. Add Brad Blakeman to the list. nt
