10 Republicans Who Should Go Away

With a new political era looming, veterans of the old political arena will scramble to redefine themselves in order to make a living. Politicians, media commentators and analysts may be ill equipped to deal with the changing electorate, increased power of the blogosphere and massive discontent with the status quo. Who will survive in the modern epoch? Here are 10 who should really think about calling it quits:

1. William Kristol

There's no need to go on about how wrong Bill Kristol has been on just about everything, and what a spineless shrimp of a man he is. Just read this quote from an article he penned on the eve before the war in Iraq:

We are tempted to comment, in these last days before the war, on the U.N., and the French, and the Democrats. But the war itself will clarify who was right and who was wrong about weapons of mass destruction. It will reveal the aspirations of the people of Iraq, and expose the truth about Saddam's regime. It will produce whatever effects it will produce on neighboring countries and on the broader war on terror. We would note now that even the threat of war against Saddam seems to be encouraging stirrings toward political reform in Iran and Saudi Arabia, and a measure of cooperation in the war against al Qaeda from other governments in the region. It turns out it really is better to be respected and feared than to be thought to share, with exquisite sensitivity, other people's pain. History and reality are about to weigh in, and we are inclined simply to let them render their verdicts.

Case closed...

1. Oh yeah. But I've got a few names to add to that list:

Phil Gramm, Saxby Shameless, Cockroach Tome DeLay are at the top of my list. Bush will be out of the limelight after 1/20/09. No one will ever pay attention to him again.

At least McCain has had the decency to stay out of the news (mostly) since his lost election.

6. Good list, here's some more

Norm "turncoat" Coleman, "Dead" Fred Thompson, John "POW" McCain and Larry "I didn't tap my foot" Craig.

2. Good comments on the people on that list

though I will say that every housewife I know LOATHES Palin--and this includes Republicans!

[SoxFan]

3. More nominees

Mitch McConnell: He personifies everything that is wrong with Washington inside baseball.

Saxby Chambliss: His 2002 campaign guarantees him a lifetime spot on this list.

Joe "Killer" Scarborough: Almost as smarmy and pompous as Hannity, and his jibbering pet monkey Mika just ramps up the idiocy.

4. K&R

5. Just 10

I can name 42 in the Senate right now :-)

[tabbycat31]

7. only 10?

can't we just wave a wand and make them all go away. Change politics to the DLC vs the progressives.

[QC]

8. Are we allowed to criticize Republicans here? n/t

[AllentownJake]

9. No

Just Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and apparently now Caroline Kennedy is a useless debutante no better than Babs Bush and Palin would be a better senator....

[QC]

10. That's what I thought. Nobody hates Democrats like DUers do. n/t

[political_Dem]

11. It's a great list. But Robin Hayes and Michelle Bachmann should be there.

Not to mention Lindsey Graham, John Bolton, Mitch McConnell, Saxby Chambliss, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom McClintock, John Boehner and many, many others.

Lest we forget the "independent" Joe Lieberman. Face it, he's beyond a DINO. He's a Republican now by virtue of his dirty deeds and propensity for betrayal.

Even with that being said, there are plenty of Republicans that deserve to be on that list. The utter stupidity and mean-spiritedness that these persons belonging to the right also present a good reason why bi-partisanism is a sham.

12. I am shocked..... no Newt

The most dangerous one of all!

[Swamp Rat]

13. "Frankly."

[Swamp Rat]

14. There's more than 10, but Kristol could certainly lead the way out the door.

[Spirochete]

15. But they should each

Take another Republican under each arm as they leave.
