The New Republicans are much worse than the old ones.

You thought they couldn’t possibly get behave as badly as they did under Bush. After all the old style Republicans lied us into costly, unnecessary and illegal wars. They turned record surpluses into record budget deficits. They gave massive tax cuts for the few at the top of the income chain at the expense of the many.

They awarded no bid government contracts given to corrupt and fraudulent –but politically well connected — corporations such as Dick Cheney’s old stomping grounds Halliburton and KBR. Big Oil made record profits under their stewardship of our nation, while we paid gas prices more than double what we paid under President Clinton.

They (with the asistance of Conserva-dums) de-regulated Wall Street and the financial industry and neutered the SEC ability to enforce the securities laws still in place, which led to the largest speculative bubble in history and a near death brush with a second Great Depression that would have made the first one look like a molehill compared to a mountain (and still might.)

Oh, and don’t forget the sweetheart deals given Big Pharma and the health insurance companies when Bush rammed through Congress his Medicare Prescription Plan after covering up its true cost. Or the fact that millions more Americans slid below the poverty line, lost their health insurance, lost federal aid to help finance their kids’ college education and generally saw their real income shrink at a time CEOs and senior executives rolling in more dough like that guy on TLC’s Cake Boss. ...........(more)

1. They have no leaders save their lobbyists and Rush Limbaugh...what do you expect.

No direction.

No responsibility.

No good excuses.

No substance past talking points.

No correction of past errors.

The party of "no" indeed.

And of course we have Democrats doing the job they claim to do for them...and getting called "liberals" for it.

2. The New Republicans are the old Republicans...

They just retooled their message to keep the crazies in their pocket.
