I hate to beat a dead horse: But, seriously, Republicans are assholes.

[Paradoxical]

This isn't a matter of differing opinions. They are truly malevolent creatures.

They are racist, homophobic, sexist, greedy, opportunistic pricks. And with each passing day comes the complete and utter affirmation of that fact.

Their media, social and religious and political leaders, and their followers are sapping us dry of our humanity. I'm nearly past the point of being angry. I'm just in awe of the overwhelming stink of vileness that emanates from everything they touch.

Goddamnit

1. Yes they are, but they know how to wage Political Warfare

A skill Democrats could seriously stand to acquire.

[gateley]

4. Agree. Their messaging is sound-bite length and they're all

saying the exact same phrase, hammering it home. Endlessly.

[Raine]

17. EXACTLY ... they out manuveer us everytime

they are so far ahead of us I don't know if we can ever catch up.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

19. Well unfortunately Democrats seem to have a bad habit

of intellectualizing everything into the ground. Which is fine in normal times when one is trying to come up with creative ways to move the country forward. But these are not normal times, these are times in which the American people are under the threat of tyranny. This is political warfare, not a time we need to be looking for a Kumbaya moment, but a time when we need to be looking to preserve our country and our freedoms by whatever means it takes to accomplished that.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Well, at least you didn't post this under Late Breaking News.

This is nothing new, but bears repeating now and then.

[rucky]

3. It amazes me how I can get along so well with my father in law

As long as we avoid certain topics, he's a decent guy. When we start talking religion or politics, he's a complete prick.

[RagAss]

15. Ask him where all the fear comes from?

[rucky]

32. It's a good question

but I don't expect a thoughtful answer.

[CanonRay]

33. I tried asking a Republican friend this last election

I kept saying over and over "what are you all so afraid of?" and never got an answer. I have come to believe it was race as there seemed to be no other logical answer.

[old mark]

5. K&R- Thank you...I hope we can get enough voters to agree with us

next year.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. I prefer "Politically Challenged."

[Paradoxical]

7. No no no. They are willfully destructive.

By writing them off as "challenged" you are letting them off the hook for all the terrible things they do.

[LiberalLoner]

8. I agree 100%! Wish I could recommend a million times instead of just once! n/t

[EV_Ares]

9. Seriously, they really are but I at the same time am tired of the fact that

everyone, at least those of us on the other side know this but our supposedly leaders in the democratic party always seems to back down from a fight with them. Even on the budget battle & shutdown of the government, dems blinked as usual & as a result everything again will be done on the backs of the poor.

[slay]

10. Agreed

for all the reasons you listed. At this point I'd be willing to let them have half the country and i'll move if I have to just to never have to deal with their stupid, hateful, backwards ideas ever again. There is no middle ground with these people!!! :mad: :grr:

[Paradoxical]

13. Let them have Arizona. That can be their holy land.

[spanone]

11. k&r

[progressoid]

12. That horse ain't dead yet.

[Paradoxical]

18. Well then I'm just committing animal cruelty.

[intaglio]

14. Flogging a dead horse

Sadism, necrophilia and bestiality, sounds like a rightwingers idea of a good tome

[Earth_First]

16. Hey! Leave the horse out of it! n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. This is news? Since when? Joe McCarthy's witch hunts?

[donheld]

21. Maybe someday we can beat a dead elephant

[krispos42]

22. Republicans love dead horses. Like Reaganomics.

Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

In business, however, it seems that we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead."
11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a CA Study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" dead.
18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Especially #'s 2, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 21.

[Elwood P Dowd]

23. NO THEY ARE NOT !!

They are the SHIT that comes out of assholes.

[Paradoxical]

25. Touche

[Initech]

24. It's not beating a dead horse if they think they are still on their high horse.

So please... repeat this message as often as you can!

[lonestarnot]

26. And worst part about them is they are all about the rich. If your a pug and you're not rich, you're

a dumbfuck useful tool.

[Poboy]

27. This is a great rant.

[nutsnberries]

28. i was hating to beat that dead horse today too

actually, i think it's a dead elephant, but still...

i think it was listening to what came out of huckabee's mouth that put me over the edge.

[wiggs]

29. Those that aren't racist or homophobic are perfectly willing to play to

the base's homophobic, racist, sexist fears. You can't tell me that Huckabee really believes Obama grew up in Kenya...but he's willing to use vague fears about a black foreigner with a funny name being president in order to stir up hear and hatred so that he's 'in the club'. Disgusting. Goddamnit indeed.

[deacon]

30. It's not beating a dead horse when they come up with new assholie things they do daily. n/t

[Mnemosyne]

31. And you know my sisters, how? n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

34. The horse/elephant has never been dead.

It occasionally plays possum for a while, but, like the soulless zombie it is, it eventually always arises to wreak havoc on the populace. With great glee, I might add.

And we're supposed to play nice with these people? Screw that. I want 'em squashed squishy, with a stake through the heart and their mouths stuffed with garlic. (Metaphorically speaking, of course. Hi, Agent Mike!:hi:)

[oldlib]

35. Because of the Disparity

in income across the country, the republicans need to produce obscure issues, like abortions, to suck in voters. i agree that they are assholes.
