Obamacons "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass . .stumbling around like zombies . .

Former Clinton foe, supply sider Larry Hunter explains why he is now supporting Senator Obama


Explaining his support for the uncompromisingly liberal Obama, Hunter blogged on June 6: "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of 'Weekend With Bernie,' handcuffed to a corpse."

Robert Novak almost takes delight on listing the attacks and feelings of notable Republicans who have had enough and wonder when will Powell endorse Obama.


Colin Powell is said by friends to share Hunter's analysis of the GOP. His tenuous 13-year relationship with the Republican Party, following his retirement from the Army, has ended. The national security adviser for Ronald Reagan left the present administration bitter about being ushered out of the State Department a year earlier than he wanted. As an African American, friends say, Powell is sensitive to racial attacks on Obama and especially on Obama's wife, Michelle. While McCain strategists shrug off defections from Bruce Bartlett and Larry Hunter, they wince in anticipating headlines generated by Powell's expected endorsement of Obama.

Hagel is expected to urge Obama and McCain to reach out to each other. At the least, Hagel is not ready to strap on armor for his longtime political ally and office neighbor, John McCain.

Nevertheless, Obamacons -- little and big -- are reason for concern by McCain. They also should cause soul-searching at the Bush White House about who made the Republican Party so difficult a place for Republicans to stay.

I never thought the day would come where I could read Robert Novak without surpressing the gag reflex.

6. Watching the Repigs with the SCOTUS gun decision, it's as though they can't see what has happened...

I tell them to Google this: National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive:

"This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency."

That's legalese mumbo jumbo for martial law at any time... signed by Chimpy McPreztel...

7. Soul-searching doesn't work in the republican party, lol

Here's their thought process:

"Hmmm, I wonder why we are losing? Could it be ... nah, fuck it. Get China on the phone and tell them we need to borrow more money!"

9. "...uncompromisingly liberal Obama..." I know it's Novak, but if he'd said that on DU...

:rofl:

10. The Republican "revolution" they've worked on for 3-4 decades is DEAD.

Little did they realize that the bumbling, incoherent GWB (and now McCain) would be the end result of all the careful planning in politics, business, the media, and the willing religious zealots.

That stinking, farting elephant in the room is gasping for air and I'm ready to kick its ass till it dies. I don't care how much it suffers--and if those on the zealot Left don't like the way we kill it, they should leave the room.

DAMMIT!
