Republicans: Majority Whiners & Self-Serving Hypocrites
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 09:58 AM by Homer12

I think since the Repugs & Bushco feared people in 2002 into majority rule, that their "tone" has gotten more shrill, whiny, hypocritical, back-stabbing, a complete lack of any personal responsability, and that "win-at-all-cost" and the "ends-justify-the-means" mentallity; All of these dispicable traits are going to bite-them-in-the-ass.

A whining loser is one-thing, but a graceless winner is another.

The Republicans with all their moral and ethical preaching when Clinton was president have SHOWN that they are the worst type of self-absorbed, self-rightous, self-involved political hypocrites in this country.

Everyday and everytime they do the opposite of what they say ("Do as I say son, not as I do" - My favorite lately was when Gingrich said that the deficeit under Bush was okay); They really show their true back-stabbing selves.

Although, I'd rather have at least 1 democratic majority in congress at this time; The Republicans, since they became the majority, have show American's that all their self-rightous banner-waving for patriotic, fiscal, ethical, and moral issues was just a ploy and manipulation to fear people for support, to get them into power.

2. As good a description of Republicans as I have ever seen.
Isn't it depressing, sometimes? I hope to see the day soon when America wakes up.

3. You have got to give me a link
Hey, I love the Gingrich quote. Do you have a link for that? I would love to use it against some of my Republican friends.

4. He was on NBC...
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 10:17 AM by Homer12
...after the Iowa primaries. Tom Brokaw was interviewing him and Gingrich said he had no problem with the deficet under Bush with a smirk on his face.

He never said, "Do as I say not as I do...", but that was the implication.

I'd search NBC and try to find it.

5. Here is one link
I didn't find the Brokaw interview but I did find one from Dec 2003 with Russert.

Here is the link:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3660558/

Here never comes out and directly says "deficits don't matter" but his entire discussion is how they aren't important right now and how we are now in a new global economic enviromnent that requires new approaches in fiscal/monitary policy.
