The Republican Party has lost it's mind...
If a poor victim were lying in a ditch needing medical attention, they would ignore him. They would rather discuss about how long it took the ambulance to get to the scene? Or whether it would be better to let him lie in the ditch without any attention?

That is the attitude they are taking with offering aid to our country at the present time. Our country is like the poor accident victim lying in the ditch and needing urgent medical attention. Never mind that they were driving the car that knocked the victim into the ditch. It is not their responsibility. Let the Democrats take care of the problem. If he dies, it is the Democrats that are driving the ambulance. It is the Democrats that are trying to offer aid to the victim.

If the victim does not recover, then it is the fault of the ambulance driver and the folks that are giving medical help. They had nothing to do with it. And they will not hesitate to point out the inadequacies of those that were trying to assist.

That is the present Republican Party. Anybody that can follow such an insane group must question their own sanity. As the boat sinks, they stand back and criticize the size of the bucket or whether or not the boat is really leaking...?

1. They will find out in the 2010 elections how badly their boat
is leaking. Boehner and Cantor think they are being leaders. I hope they lose in a landslide.

18. I doubt they even know what the unemployment rate or the
foreclosure rate is in their CDs. Bunch of whiney idiots with no plan other than their tax cut mantra. Add Issa and Bilbry to that bunch too.

19. When I see any of these nuts on tv..
I wait for the host to ask "What's your plan?" which never seems to come out of their mouth and the republiCON never fails to answer for any question "Tax Cuts" I notice that when it comes to rich people, war and people in other countries the RepubliCONS seem happy to hand out our cash but when it comes to "WE THE PEOPLE" it's too much money,welfare,a handout, or socialism.

Their president(Bush) use to try to sell his whatever he was trying to sell with "Remember its your money" and the CONS would chime in. Why is it not our money when we need it and I am quite sure that Democrats aren't the only ones hurting in this economy. Haven't Repubs lost jobs,lost homes,visited soup kitchens,need healthcare the only answer I can come up with is that these people are insane!!!

4. If they were vested in companies that make ambulances instead
of the military industrial complex, they would send an extra 5 or 10 ambulances, "just in case".

5. Their de facto leader wants the President to fail.







He's on record as saying so, even though the weasel later denied having said it.

His Shittohead Zombies are just following his agenda.

8. Like the priest and Levite who walked away, before the Good Samaritan stopped to help.
And the Rethugs think they're the only ones who've ever cracked open a Bible...

9. The GOP sounds like the Christian Science people
If some medical catastrophe befalls you, just pray to God that he will straighten it out. Don't get medical help.

12. It was obvious from when McCain nominated Palin. What was he thinking?
It didn't work then, so now they want to do it again?
