I think the Repubs and Hannity are loosing it.
He had the pube congressman J.D. Hayward on today and your not going to believe what Hayward said, not once but twice. He said " You know Sean, if each person that is voting for Bush would just get twenty five friends and take them to the polls to vote, we would win this running away." Is this nuts or what!

2. Most Bush supporters don't even have FIVE friends, much less 25.

15. The GOP is the grandest pyramid scheme of all ...
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 07:16 PM by merh
that is why it is so successful, the lower level members hope to make it to the platinum level and be millionaires one day!

The GOP is the largest pyramid scheme in our nation.

*, cheney, ashwipe, rummey, wolfie, condi and their corporate cronies are at the platinum level. They are the only one's that profit.

Definition of pyramid scheme:

The disguises, rationalizations and defenses have a similar ring. Perpetrators claim they are uplifting people, setting them free, creating new opportunity, and teaching them a new and better way to live and prosper.

As in all such abuses of the past, huge amounts of money are spread to peddle influence, stave off regulation, and maintain the false portrayal of legitimacy. Critics are vilified and threatened with lawsuits as "anti-business" and "losers."

The element of the pyramid scheme (and the GOP) that has the most in common with past abuses is its appeal to economic justification. Deceptive practices which take money from millions of unwitting people and enrich a small group of promoters and perpetrators are defended as "legitimate business," helping to build the economy, employ people, and provide economic opportunity.

SOUND FAMILIAR???

7. I cannot say enough about how much I hate Hannity.
The man makes my skin crawl.

I try to catch his show for at least a little--I like to hear the new talking points from the opposition--but I couldn't believe he went on for months talking about how, since this is a war, that people shouldn't say anything bad about the President.

Even the Republican officials he told this on his show ignored it.

BTW, did he make a $5,000 charity-to-charity bet on the outcome of the elction with Soros when he was covering the DNC? I think Hannity told him, "I'll bet you $1,000, charity-to-charity, that Bush will win." Soros said something like, "I wouldn't take that bet--how about $5,000." Hannity sounded a little miffed he walked into that. I can't remember if it was Soros or another uber-rich Demo.

10. and I cannot tell you how much I hate
that stupid phuck JD Hayworth. He used to be a weatherman, ferchrissake. The reason he even made it into politics is because he already had face here in Dumbassville, AZ.

12. Hayworth was a sportscaster in the 1980s in Phoenix
He was very open about his political ambitions from the beginning. He saw tv as the launch pad: the very best way to get massive name recognition was through tv. He targeted Arizona as the best fit for his far-to-the-right-of-Reagan philosophy.

Asshole extraordinaire.

16. I quit turning Hannity on the radio
The other day he had Casper Wein-burglar on and told Cappy this, "If george w. bush loses this election I think it would be the moral equivalent of Great Britain replacing Winston Churchill." I almost ran my car off the road from laughing so hard.

After that I figured Hannity has so completely lost his grasp of reality that it just don't make any sense to tune in anymore.

11. Who do they have to take?
Every right winger who could vote, voted in 2000 and they're gong to to it again anyway. That means they are only able to find 25 friends from two sources -

. those who didn't vote in 2000, but have been wildly affected by 9=11 and think Bush is doing a good job.

. those right wingers who became eligible to vote in the last four years by age or by naturalization.
