SOS: Have Republicans been mad for 30 years?
(SOS= same old sh**)

Thirty years ago, there was an unusual radio commercial in which a man with a Texas twang talked about some proposed "liberal" legislation and ended with the comment: "I'm Eddie Chiles and I'm mad." This was before reagan and the bush shysters.

Then reagan comes in, triples the national debt and raises taxes on working families. Following the second bush shyster, our country fell into it's deepest recession since the Great Depression and we had the bonus of fighting two wars that this unelected dolt started. Yet it's the Republicans who are still mad. If they were decent human beings, they would STFU and never vote again because clearly they only elect complete morons.

FYI this wikipedia article tells about this rich Texan:

4. Nixon was a douchebag but I don't think he was stark raving mad
I think that really started with Ronnie Raygun.

6. Nixon's demons were unique to Nixon
and he wasn't the product of a crazed right-wing party. There were plenty of very moderate to liberal Repubs in those days - Chuck Percy, Mark Hatfield, Ed Brooke, Jacob Javits - who would be tarred and feathered by today's psychoRepukes.

7. Angry since Tricky Dick.
Madness has it's full grip on them now. Selfish, power-hungry lunatics.
