Country first? Kiss my fucking ass!

[11 Bravo]

Does anyone believe that Judd Gregg didn't know that President Obama had a large stimulus package in the hopper when he offered Commerce to Gregg? Now, all of a sudden, his fucking independent streak kicked in? What kicked in was the extreme right wing of his party (read: the entire GOP), and he bailed. The President of the United States offered him a position in which he could bring his expertise to bear in order to benefit this country AND HE FUCKING BAILED! Hannity and Limbaugh didn't like it, so he got his marching orders, AND HE FUCKING TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS COUNTRY!
Fuck you, Judd. Fuck your party, fuck the wingnut talkers who shape your party's policy, and fuck your sanctimonious and demonstrably false claim to put "Country First".

1. Gregg was offered something from his party

and it won't take long before we know what

[babylonsister]

2. Rec'd. When you're right, you're right. nt

[Mira]

3. I cannot agree more. They are disgusting me to the core. K&R

[Greyhound]

4. So, how many time will they have to kick Obama in the nuts before he figures out

that they are the enemy? Their desire is to kill us. There is no negotiation, no compromise, no appeasement short of complete surrender possible.

"This is a war, God damn it! We're going to have to offend somebody."

5. Word coming out the Gregg is implicated in the Abramoff scandal

Which would be an excellent reason for him to tuck his tail between his legs and run like hell. :evilgrin:

7. Or maybe he just wants to spend more time with his family. Yeah, that's probably it.

8. which one?

dead girl or live boy?

[Urban Prairie]

6. Here we go...

The battle line gets more distinct...red vs blue, no purple in the mix at all.

[babylonsister]

9. Do you have any concrete suggestions for that color to turn

purple? Don't you think the rethugs are being somewhat obstructionist in their new role as total minority party?

[Urban Prairie]

12. Somewhat?

They obviously have no intentions of compromise.

And never did.

[pleah]

10. I have always been against working with these thugs.

See where holding hands have gotten us so far? No where!

[spanone]

11. President Obama talked about his stimulus package while he was campaigning

gregg succumbed to the pressure from boehner, who is quoted as saying 'wonderful' when informed of gregg's decision

[Still Sensible]

13. I think his stimulus remark was just payback

because he felt he was wronged by Obama and Emmanuel on the census issue. Surely they could have decided that before announcing the pick.

Make no mistake, they couldn't let him run the census given his record (very right wing, doesn't care if the count is right for homeless and poor people, has fought to lower census budget every time the question was in front of the senate, etc.).

I just think he was getting in a dig on his way out. And I'll bet the President is pissed.

[ladym55]

14. And the irony is that ol' Gregg wanted to eliminate Commerce

and now he's taken his toys and gone home because he didn't get his way to screw up the census and screw over Hispanics.

Is there a Rethuglican who ISN'T a lying loser??? hmmm. Don't think so.

15. K&R....n/t

16. Testing Waters for Largest Protest in American History

I have a vision for "America Goes To Washington". Nice and peaceful. Nothing but largest protest ever in US history - right in Washington. Washington is incapable of doing anything positive except stroke themselves. I think we should show them what real people who are united in purpose can do when faced with a crisis. Katrina, Iraq, Wall Street MADOFF WAS CHAIRMAN OF NASDAQ, PEOPLE THIS TELLS YOU HOW FAR THE CORRUPTION GOES!!!! Time to get off the blogs and on to the streets. Needs great organizing skills, car pools etc. Needs to be massive or we will be mocked in news media who have only contributed to the chaos with false reporting and ass kissing in Washington. Please, I'm begging anyone with experience, means and skill to start working this through the underground and come up with a good plan to pull off the most time honored right we have as American citizens - the right to protest. With each right that is trampled on, with each executive order that violates the constitution we are losing our right to protest and they are stealing more and more money from us either through medical care, taxes, oil, they will not stop until we are worked to death. Bush has conditioned us to be afraid of protest and free speech. Time to take back our rights and our country. We have the perfect opportunity to get heard loud and clear. Stand up or stand down. Now is the time for massive protests. If we need a hero, it isn't a president, its the people who know how to pull this off working together toget things done. Do they still exist? Do we have the strength? Or are we spineless Americans deserving of the fate we are being handed over and over. Time to decide if you want your children to look back in disgust at you for sitting on your butts and not using your right to protest peacefully and with unrelenting passion.

17. I read that gregg had his

name put up for Commerce Sec..and Reid and Rahm pushed for him. Gregg fickled out.
