The most dangerous Republican alive

[hyphenate]

In your opinion, who is the most dangerous Republican alive, right now? There are plenty of them, I know, to choose from. But some are more devious than others, and others are perhaps far more dangerous than we can even imagine.

My choice for most dangerous Republican alive is Grover Norquist. While he might not be in the administration, he is definitely an architect of the entire conservative platform, and wields more power than many even in the administration.

Your choice?

[htuttle]

1. Sun Myung-Moon

Makes Norquist look like a piker.

[Gay Green]

4. I agree.

Not only is he weaseling his way into Neoconster circles, but Dominionist / Fristian Right circles and even RINO and DINO circles as well.

[htuttle]

9. He doesn't even have to weasel his way into those circles

He BUILT most of those circles.

It's been Moon's money and organization behind the rise of the so-called 'Christian Right' since the late 70's when they started voting as a bloc.

[stevedeshazer]

24. Hands down - not even close.

[LightningFlash]

2. That's just an easy one..

Dick Cheney. He's a danger to the entire world and all conseravtives, the man is completely demented, twisted, insane and uses Rove to make the chimp stick to the objective.

:wow: :think: :crazy:

[reBel_gyrl]

11. I agree

and second the nomination for Cheney as most dangerous.. Without Cheney, our fake President would fall on his republican face (worse than now) and we'd ALL see this Admin. for what it really is.. money-grubbing, power-hungry, selfish, tyranical, world-policing, crusade-starting, America-dividing, make-the-world-our-peasents-and-put-those-who-will-listen-to-us-in-charge, poor hating, lying weasels. Throw Blair a nomination as well, if for nothing other than being Bush's finger puppet.

[ClintonTyree]

3. Rove...

cut off the head, the body dies.

[getmeouttahere]

5. I tend to agree with you...

he could be considered half of Bush's Brain, along with Karl Rove of course...and he's the one that made the "shrinking government until we can drown it in the bathtub" comment...of course that really means shrinking the social safety net until you can drown in in the bathtub.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

6. Cheney

[blm]

7. The over 4 decades long alliance between the Bush Family and RevMoon

has cost this nation most dearly. The propaganda pushes in Moon owned media that alter history and promote war and criminal coverups, to Moon's control of half this nation's fishing industry, to Moon's ownership of all the land above the world's largest aquifer, to the funding of religious fundamentalism in all religions - Baptist, Catholic, Muslim, etc...for over 30 years......none of it could have happened without their alliance.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

8. Scalia as chief justice on the SCOTUS

[newscott]

10. Jim Baker has his hands deep in everything methinks.

[evilkumquat]

12. Bush...

...but only because he may/will have the opportunity to name the next Chief Justice.

Granted, to paraphrase Bobcat Goldthwait, blaming Bush is like yelling at Ronald McDonald when you get a bad cheeseburger- neither one runs the company. Unfortunately, the final decision STILL rests with Bush; it is a foregone conclusion he will go along with Rove, Cheney and the rest of the Cabal, but in the end, the final call is his.

Ergo, he is the most dangerous.

Sure, be afraid of the mad scientist who creates the fifty-foot robot marauding through town, but it is the robot itself with foot-long, puppy-stomping steel spikes on the bottom of its feet.

And even when the mad scientist gets blown up in his lab, anyone else can still pick up the remote that is just lying there.

[Blue Belle]

13. Rupert Murdoch...

His media empire has been the downfall of the Democratic party. When the news is controlled, our voice ceases to exist.

[quaoar]

14. Tom DeLay

He must be indicted before he redistricts again.

[opihimoimoi]

15. Rush, hannity, Oreally, Mike Savage, Pat Robinsin, Foulwell, etc

[punpirate]

16. Paul Weyrich...

... he's got tentacles stretching out to every one of the people mentioned here--and many others few people know of. He's Mr. Fix-it for the entire right wing....

[opihimoimoi]

17. Forgot all about that DUDE. He is evil as they come.....

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

21. Excuse my ignorance...

but who is he? I'm sure he's a vile creature that I can learn to hate, but I don't know that name. Is he one of the original neocons?

[punpirate]

23. Google is your friend...

... you'll discover he has connections to everyone in the right wing. Each Wednesday morning, he holds a meeting with a select group of right-wingers, including representatives from Congress and the White House where they plot strategy for the coming week--and they are his meetings--he decides who's invited.

Let's put it this way, people like Irving and William Kristol and Karl Rove call him, "sir."

Cheers.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

26. Ohhhh, he's got Scaife ties....

that has real meaning in Pa. Fortunately, we have the Heinz money to counter the Scaife-Mellon clan.

Okay, after reading up on the Google articles, you're right...he's #1.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

31. And his boudreau...

Howard Ahmenson. They, with Scaife, bankroll a lot of perfidy, like the schism in The Anglican Church.

[punpirate]

34. I've never thought of...

... Howard F. Ahmanson, Jr., as one of the great movers and shakers--he's a money man--and he's thoroughly nuts (part of the reason why he appears so infrequently in person in the general public--he just can't contain himself, and ordinary people walking away muttering about the "wacko religious right").

But, his money is powerful, and it did aid that schism in the Anglican Church, as you say. He's also the money behind (and a director of) The Discovery Institute in Seattle, which has been pushing ID, and was a former director of the CNP. But Weyrich effectively controls the CNP, and much of people in its constellation. Weyrich finds the people to spend Ahmanson's money. :)

42. "Mr. Fix-it for the entire right wing...."

The "Go To Guy".

Thanks. I'll check that out...

18. osama bin missin

when they roll out the dried up mummy from ancient egypt they claim has been dna'd as mr bin missin the mediawhores are gonna orgasm, literally orgasm all over the place! and the herd will chew its cud with newfound contentment....
:(

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. D. James Kennedy

Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and heard all over the country on various radio programs as well as weekly on the "Coral Ridge Hour" on TV.

He is a Dominionist, and he has the ear of many in power. He is CONVINCED this country was made for xtians like him and he sees it as his duty to "Reclaim America for Christ"

see one of his websites @
www.reclaimamerica.org

Seriously scary sumbitch

[Patty Diana]

20. John Bolton

[many a good man]

22. Alan Greenspan

He is the one who has enabled the coming destruction of the global economy. All who worship at his altar, including many Democrats, will bear the enmity of the billions who will wallow in misery and squalor when the day of reckoning finally arrives....

[Auntie Bush]

35. He is one ugly dude! As evil as he is ugly.

[Pepperbelly]

25. Bush. He has nukes. QED. nt

[greendog]

27. Dobson

n/t

[Donailin]

28. Rove Cheney and DeLay nt

[Me.]

29. I Agree With Rove & Cheney

but would put Negraponte before Delay. I think it's just a matter of time now before the bugman is gone, his deeds are catching up with him.

[baldguy]

30. Osama bin Laden

He's got the credentials.

[Contrary1]

32. Dubya himself...

because he is mentally unstable for whatever reason,
because he is easily manipulated by the likes of Rove and Cheney,
because he has deluded millions of Americans into thinking he is a
good man, sent by God Him/Herself to reshape the world.

And finally, because he is the president, he has the power.

[Carla in Ca]

33. The next one that runs for president.

[powergirl]

36. RICK SANTORUM

NO TEXT

[RUMPLEMINTZ]

37. Ken Melman

He's under the radar courting the African American and Hispanic votes. If he gets just a couple of percent of them to vote rethug, well, we know what will happen.

[musical_soul]

38. Cheney.

I think he controls Bush.

[NAO]

39. Radical Cleric "Dr." James Dobson

This fundamentalist extremist and his massive fanital following composes a large portion of The Electoral Shock Troops of the Rabid Religious Reich.

His has great influence - lately he appears to be eclipsing other prominent Radical Clerics such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.

***

Fundamentalist Radical Clerics such as Falwell, Dobson, and Robertson are not merely medieval throwbacks or misguided religious hacks. They are part of a well organized subversionary movement known as "Dominionism".

Dominionism constitutes a serious threat to American Democracy. These Radical Clerics have developed and are executing a detailed plan to gradually replace the free, secular democratic society of the United States with a Theocracy.

It is critical that people become aware of the extreme agenda these people have for the United States and ultimately for the world. The results of the 2004 Presidential Election were not a fluke or something that was drummed up over a period of months. It has been in planning for over 20 years, and what we are seeing take place now is, in the words of Katherine Yurica, "the swift advance of a planned coup".

The articles below are critical for understanding the Dominionist movement; for realizing how real and how detailed their plans are; and to become aware of how far they have come toward achieving their goals.

Antidote to Fundamentalist Nut-Cases is a Revival of the Freethought Movement

I think what we need is a Freethought movement similar to what the US had around the turn of the 20th century. Robert Ingersoll was touring the country, lecturing on secularism and exposing the claims of revealed religion to be false. Unless something breaks the stranglehold of religious fundamentalism in the US - and in the world - I think we are going to continue the slide into Theocracy and destruction.

40. Most Dangerous Republican?

Grover Norquist.

He's their Erwin Rommel. The architect of the most anti-American economic policy in over 100 years.

[NAO]

41. Rommel would have been a brilliant utter failure without troops

Granted, Grover Norquist is a brilliant evil architect of much of the Reactionary platform of the Republican party...But without tens of millions of Evangelical Christian voters, his brilliant plans would languish in obscurity.

Dobson has brainwashed millions into Reactionary ideas. He rallies voters and they think they are doing "God's work".

I would take 20 Norquests - without the support of the Religionists - over one Dobson and all brainwashed Christians.

[tokenlib]

43. No doubt its Norquist...

It is his plan to destroy Social Security, Medicare, and all social safety net programs that has been put in motion. Norquist is the guy that said they should cut the revenue flow with tax cuts and let the programs wither on the vine.
