Repubs (the sane and honest ones at least) must feel so dirty right now.
Sleaze is oozing from every Repuke office and caucus in Washington. From starting wars on the basis of lies, to deliberately neglecting, and through this neglect causing the death of, thousands of hurricane victims, to producing a level of corruption and graft which John Gotti would envy, to producing a mountain of national debt that will bankrupt our children and grandchildren...the list of revolting REPUBLICAN outrages goes on and on.

If I were "one of them" I would be soooo disgusted with myself (for voting these lying scum in), and with the party of greed and cruelty with which I was aligned.

:puke:

2. Yep, on another message board.....
I've started to play up this aspect of repug-ishness. Especially the deficit angle for their kids. There is something powerful about highlighting reality that makes these folks put down the kool-aid for a moment.

Most of the time their conscience is activated only for a couple of split seconds before they revert back to their bullshit, but I know it's hitting home. Their subsequent posts tend to be muted.

3. i see,they are not seeing their personal responsibility in it yet
but...... i alone have had enough experience in their sleaze that their party is committing on me and my children, .... that now when i speak out to them, and say shame on you, you didnt stand up for me or my children,..... they are listening. once they start feeling the sleaze on them personally is when they will awaken, wink

5. I don't know how many of them are waking up, or when they will.
I just can't imagine being affiliated with that scum party. But that's me, and of course I wouldn't be. But I was raised by (formerly) Repub parents, who became staunch Democrats in the late 80's when the "religious" right took over the party. The sleaze and hypocrisy were too much for even my Eisenhower and Nixon loving parents to take. So I know from personal experience it can happen.

12. i have never lived in fundie land
i came here about 15 years ago. i didnt see all htis shit prior to 2000. maybe it was there but i wasnt seeing it. now in 2006 it is basically foremost in all conversation that goes on in this area. god.......

sittin at the table of the scum party, i sat next to the husband of a woman running for office. i had a room full of these scum party people. my father is a scum party, lol lol and two brothers. i guess the start is not seeing them as scum party. i told them stories, i told them where i was offended and shame on them they didnt stand up for me, but worse my children.

there were two women that are on the board of planned parenthood. ..... we have a catholic org from the florida teri to do... coming to town. they put rod iron fence around to protect themselves from these people. the hypocrisy is all aroundthem. they just havent put it together yet. but.... it is getting close, i think.

4. "sane and honest ones"--??? LOL
anyone who is still a repuke is a fascist, religiously insane, or complicit in the bush gang's thefts

and they would be disgusted with themselves if they had a sane or moral thought in their heads.

6. The Devil has a mighty silver tongue.
When you come under the sway of the Devil it is not probable you will listen to reason anytime soon. What other explanation is there for Christians to go directly against everything Jesus stood for and Preached about? The Devil is talking to them from the podiums of their largest Churches and he has a very silver tongue.

7. People are easily brainwashed. That's part of the problem.
But, my God, many of these folks are suffering, if not dying, from the policies of this cabal. :crazy:

8. I have lost hope
that there is any or even one left with integrity. I kept thinking one of them would step up at any point of all the overreaching, incompetence and corruption. None has. It's group think, GOP right are wrong, to hell with the Constitution or the country.

9. None in Congress for sure.
I think some ordinary citizens MAY be waking up. I don't see how some can't be. May just be my pollyanic perspective, however.

11. If there are any in Congress, they're too pants-wetting scared
But the generic polls are showing a heavy tilt toward Democrats so far this year, and Rove's old reliable "terror, terror" blather seems to be losing its punch with the public. Keep up the good fight, Rock.

10. GOP has become the Bush party
It boggles the mind how the Bush cult has taken over a major American party. But then, this is just like a new pimp taking over a whorehouse.

14. Finally, the country is realizing the damage that has been done.
Edited on Sat Feb-11-06 12:05 PM by Kansas Wyatt
BushCo and the Republican Party have been right about absolutely NOTHING, and people now see how this pack of thieves have sold them out and stuck them with the bill for their insanity.

Continue squandering billions on the 'Imperial Patriotic King George War On Terra' that is becoming a failure due to poor leadership, the welfare to mega corporations, and give-a-ways to the WEALTHY elite, or have funding left over for everything else that did actually do 'We The People' good. Uh... Oh... Too late, that choice was already made years ago, and now the government needs serious credible qualified leadership to pull us out of the hole BushCo & Banana Republicans, Inc. have been digging us into.
