"Our enemies are loudmouth leftists and shiftless deadbeats."

[trof]

The only way repugs can 'win' elections:

Like any sport worth its salt, in politics you have adversaries, opponents, enemies. Our enemies are loudmouth leftists and shiftless deadbeats. To win the election, we have to keep as many of these people away from the polls as possible.

Now your average leftist loudmouth is a committed individual and can almost never be persuaded to ignore his constitutional rights. The deadbeats, however, are a different matter entirely. Years of interminable welfare checks and free government services have made these modern-day sloths even more lazy. They will vote on election day, if it isn’t much of a bother. But even the slightest inconvenience can keep them from the polling place.

Many of the most successful anti-deadbeat voter techniques (poll taxes, sound beatings, etc.) that conservatives have used in the past have been outlawed by busybody judges.

The only means of persuasion left available to us are Acts of God, who we know is exclusively on our side. I’m talking about seriously inclement weather. I want Biblical floods and pestilence. I will settle for rain, sweet rain. The deadbeats won’t even go out in the rain for their welfare checks (they send one of their social workers to pick it up). There’s no way they’ll vote if it’s raining.

1. Wow, what a peach they've picked for their party chair!

And I thought Katherine Harris was bad!

[originalpckelly]

2. Wow! What a bi-partisan and all around swell guy.

:puke:

[TahitiNut]

18. Tell me how he doesn't look like an Amway dealer.

[sharp_stick]

20. Why do I have the visceral urge

to punch the shiney teeth out of every robot puke I've ever seen the picture of? He just has that look of smug satisfaction that I'd love nothing more than to slap off his face.

[TahitiNut]

21. I know what you mean. Here's the one that'd most provoke uncontrollable rage in me ...

UNCONTROLLABLE! :grr:

[louis-t]

22. He's got that Jeb, Tucker, Rush clone

look about him. His parents probably played right-wing propaganda to him as he slept.

[TahitiNut]

27. He reminds me of J. D. Hayworth(less).

[louis-t]

33. Ahh, yes, Hayworth. He of the neo-nazi haircut.

Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox (R-what else) has the same haircut.

[YOY]

28. Wear a suit all you want buddy...you still aren't convincing me of smarts or "fiscal responsibility"

Douchebag...AND I DO WORK FOR A LIVING!

(Sorry...talking to the picture and not you TN.)

[MissMillie]

3. gotta love it

the whole attitude that God is on their side and won't mind if they use sketchy tactics to rob people of their political voice....

yeah, I'm sure God looks upon that with favor. :sarcasm:

[Mountainman]

4. These folks are becoming increasingly irrelevant and it is driving them crazy.

Having McCain as their standard bearer really pisses off the Limbaugh, Hanity, Savage, Ingraham, Coulter wing of the repuke party.

They are like fish out of water. No where to go. No one to vote for that believes in their illusionary view of the world.

I'm glad!

[atommom]

5. I suppose that's why thousands of Kansans stood in line for hours in the sleet

to vote in the Democratic caucus? This man is in for some serious disillusionment.

[monktonman]

6. Pray for sunshine...

Republican vampires cant stand sun light

[alfredo]

7. He's almost as nice as William Kristol. He refers to us as "peasants."

[librechik]

8. It's not hate speech if it's about a Democrat

these brazen propagandists never stop--this could just as easily be a screed about negroes written back in the thirties by the KKK.

[BlueIris]

9. "I will settle for rain, sweet rain."

He sounds like he's reciting Shakespeare.

[originalpckelly]

10. He sounds like he forgot to take some pills.

:scared:

[theredpen]

11. "God, who we know is exclusively on our side."

When I got to this part, I had difficulty believing that this wasn't self-parody.

Then I remembered, "It's a REPUBLICAN."

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. I know! "God causes it to rain on the just and the unjust alike."

They may have forgotten the little bits about loving thy brother, forgiveness, rich men not entering the kingdom of heaven, etc.

I believe in God, and I don't vote Republican. Take THAT! ;)

[theredpen]

19. Yeah, what you said.

I sometimes wonder if the Republican Bible fits on a postcard.

All I ever hear from them is a dozen quotes from Leviticus and Paul — all taken out of context to support their agenda of hate.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. Ever ask a Republican where in the Bible it says to take over the government?

It gets really quiet, really quickly. Try it, it's FUN!

[nxylas]

29. That was my thought too

It does read like a crude attempt at satire.

[yardwork]

12. This is the kind of thread that deserves kicking and nominating!

THIS is what we're up against in this country. Swill.

Any complaint about Obama or Hillary pales in comparison to the hideousness of the Republicans.

[lpbk2713]

13. This asshole sounds like a former Katherine Harris trainee.

She used the Florida Highway Patrol to stop Blacks who were on their way to vote.

[reformedrethug]

14. that is EXACTLY

why I left the repub party, too much hate and divisiveness. It took me a few years to wake up but I finally did thankfully. Too bad it is 7 years too late tho.

[Freedomofspeech]

16. Congratualtions and good for you...

let's hope the Democrats will be able to bring this country back.

[trof]

31. Hi, and welcome to DU.

and I got your very first post.
I'll treasure it.
:hi:

[ChickMagic]

32. Welcome to DU

I think you'll find a diversity here that looks like America.
Happy posting!

:hi:

[radfringe]

17. at first I wasn't sure who you were referring too

whether it was the Obama supporters or Hillary supporters in the GD-P.. :snicker:

when and where are they having the rain prayer circle?

[rockymountaindem]

23. Are these the types Obama wants us to unite with? n/t

[leftofthedial]

24. our enemies are moronic, degenerate, hatemongering sociopaths

to survive as a species, we need to keep as many of them from breeding as possible

[paparush]

25. Tip of GE '08 Iceberg...Here's your Word List for Neocon Election Bingo

Traitors
Turncoats
Surrender
Embolden
Quitters
Cut and Run (triple bonus)
Jihad
Cowards
Wussies
Pansies
Soft
Undermine
Losers
Defeatists

And that's just Round 1.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. They're losing all contact with reality

The stereotype about all liberals being "on welfare" is one of the most puzzling. I have to think that it's thinly disguised racism, because conservatives tend to think that all African-Americans are on welfare, although how they explain all the black people they see around town working at low-paying jobs, well, who said there was any logic to their ideology?

I wish I could remember where I saw this, but one of the conservative magazines actually had an article claiming that the demonstrators at Bush's two inaugurations were "rent-a-mobs." :wtf:

[Neo-wobbly]

34. Funny, that

It seems like the Republicans' best friends in keeping voters away from the polls are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama; I mean, if there aren't any Democrats on the ballot...

[whatchamacallit]

35. Guess they haven't noticed the record turnout of shiftless deadbeats

These chumps are gonna wake up holding their own ass cheeks come November.
