"In the wake of the 2006 midterm elections, Karl Rove identified Mark Foley (and Republican sex scandals) as the main reason for the Republicans losing Congress. Since that time, an ever-growing number of high-profile Republicans have become implicated in hooker scandals and other sexual indiscretions. Rachel delivers a referesher course on the top GOP hooker stories of the past year, and wonders what the implications could be for the 2008 Presidential race."

1. If I was an unprincipled SOB in a well placed position in the GOP leadership

I hope these idiots don't take these points seriously but if I was an unprincipled SOB in a well placed position in the GOP leadership ("unprincipled" and "GOP leadership" being redundant in the same sentence) here's what I'd recommend:

1. Closed door ranking Senate and House GOP White House session with Bush demanding pullout of U.S. forces from Iraq before November 2008 election. Better yet haul HIM over to the Senate Hart Building. Show him who's boss.

2. Mention that if he doesn't wake up and smell the coffee on Iraq you're going over to Nancy Pelosi's office and indicate that impeachment proceedings would gain momentum.

3. Acknowledge bad behavior and hypocrisy on certain anonymous other GOP leadership members and ask them to resign or at least not seek re-election or you will consider outing them. Some of this could be done discreetly.

4. Campaign hard on jobs for Americans and funding for infrastructure re-building. Put Americans back to work at decent paying jobs. Spending their earnings on U.S. made goods and services.

5. Recommend that the corporate tax rate be returned to the 90% bracket on CEO earning above 3.2 million dollars (or similar figure adjusted for inflation) as was the case under President Eisenhower.


Do this and they will lose fewer collective seats next year. Would take a lot of the steam out of the Democratic Party.

However the GOP won't do this and I'm glad: Because it would all be lip service. There is no way that the Republicans Party won't turn it's backs on the regular Joe or Jane immediately after the election. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

So expect them to continue fucking up royally, making the whole Mid East hate Americans, alienate Europe and the rest of the world especially Africa.

And predict more and more ranking Congressmen and Senators to get caught wearing women's clothing or peeing in front of kids.

It's a republican thing: We wouldn't understand!

Lastly: It's about Hypocrisy Stupid (not sexuality).

2. "It's a republican thing: We wouldn't understand!" You Got That Right!

Sounds like a good campaign platform for the Democrats you laid out there---what are the odds that the DLC will follow it? :rofl:


We are so screwed.
