Donald Rumsfeld

Karl Rove

Rush Limbaugh

Sean Hannity

Glen Beck

Ann Coulter

Michelle Malkin

Tom DeLay

Dick Armey

The remnants of the KKK

People who embrace any of the above



Yeah, I know. There are a few thousand I’ve left out. But please feel free to add to this list. And I defy anyone to come up with a comparable list of Dems.

1. You forgot the big one
Ronald W Reagan. Maybe not the creator of the movement but certainly still the figurehead they worship to this day. :grr:

8. Here's the thing about Reagan
Edited on Tue Sep-01-09 04:36 PM by Cyrano
He was a despicable man who lacked compassion, empathy and any semblance of a soul (if such a thing as a soul exists).

But he was amiable. And that's why so many people liked him, trusted him and believed in him.

Had some of the most miserable tyrants in history had Reagan's likable personality, they might have achieved their goals. Hell, if Hitler had been amiable, we might all be speaking German now.

11. Yep. It's really scary.
If George W, (idiot that he is) had not been Cheney's front man, imagine what might have been.

4. Sadly there used to be some fine republicans
Edited on Tue Sep-01-09 02:35 PM by Botany
Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight D Eisenhower, Margaret Chase Smith, Chuck Percy, and many more
but the party (republicans) now only cares about power and money ...... fuck the country, the world,
and the people. How could anybody be against cap and trade?

5. Liz Cheney...
my gawd but she's got that GOP Irritant stamp all over her. I just can't stand her smuggery, her avoidance tactics, her fakery. I better stop now because my blood pressure is going up as I type this. Guess its her mom and pop genes and lifelong how to be an asshole 101 course that I find so offensive

6. Liz Cheney committed professional suicide on yesterday's "This Week."
Or not.

At one time, anyone who came across as such an unknowledgeable, vile moron as she did yesterday morning would have been finished forever.

At one point, Stephanopolis, E.J. Dionne, Gwenn Eiffel, Sam Donaldson, and even George Will were staring at her like she was nuts.

In another era, this creature would never again be in front of a TV camera as a "guest." But in today's world, insanity brings ratings. So I guess we're going to be seeing a lot more of this horrible peddler of lies, hatred and pure bile.

7. I almost feel sorry for George Will. He has seen morons take over his party and...
as a thoughtful man(even if he is on the wrong side of reality) ....it must be very painful for him.
If William F. Buckley was still around, this summer of cretins would have killed him.
