Republicans weigh costs of losing ugly

By GLENN THRUSH & MARIN COGAN | 3/23/10 5:05 AM EDT

The only thing worse than winning ugly is losing uglier.

The Democrats’ ungainly march toward a victory on health care reform Sunday night provoked a graceless response from angry House Republicans, who shouted insults across the chamber, encouraged outbursts from the galleries, brandished “Kill the bill” placards from the Speaker’s Balcony and, apparently, left veiled threats of electoral retribution on the benches of undecided Democrats.

And that all came before Texas Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer shouted “baby killer!” as anti-abortion Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) spoke on the House floor.

That incident followed an even uglier series of events outside the chamber Saturday, when tea party protesters reportedly shouted the N-word at civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), spit on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and hurled an anti-gay insult at Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.).

While House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) was quick to criticize the racial and anti-gay outbursts and to distance himself from Neugebauer’s shout, he made no apologies for the feisty floor debate or the overall tone of the health care opposition.

1. If I was in the gallery...

...I'd have been arrested for shouting "Liar" every time Boehner opened his mouth.

Ugly is all they got. It's all they ever had, come to think of it. LIARS!!

2. The Repukelickers are looking pretty hideous...

But then liars, cheaters, and thieves are always sore losers.

3. I love it when their true natures come out. Let everyone see what sorts of people

belong to that party.

4. Problem is, their followers have been brainwashed into thinking that this is appropriate behavior.

5. Oh, they need not weigh the costs -- they could just wait and by smashed by that weight.
