Keith O The Suicide Of The Republican Party - Just posted on FOK News

The Suicide Of The Republican Party
Posted on March 9, 2011

http://foknewschannel.com/the-suicide-of-the-republican-party/

Still having never learned to be calm, retract their claws, and sit around and act rationally in a situation that calls for panic, Wisconsin’s Republicans and their Corporate Puppeteers tonight guaranteed themselves an unprecedented and disastrous recall next January.

More over, they also guaranteed themselves that any cloak of stealth under which they have operated in their attacks on teachers, firefighters, policemen, unions, and the settled law of collective bargaining, has been stripped away. If you pass a supposedly urgent “budget repair” bill with key budget components cut from it, you forfeit the fiction that you are doing anything remedial, anything essential, anything except a naked power grab on behalf of corporations who will get the money stolen from organized labor – civic or private....


This is not to try to mitigate the disaster for Wisconsin and its public servants and its immediate future. Governor Scott Walker, the cross-eyed Koch-sucker, will make inchoate sounds of celebration, like a seal with a rack of horns before it. The Right will claim victory. Good workers who were under the illusion that their public service earned them just as much protection from irresponsible and uncontrolled management as any private employees, will have their lives and families damaged and risked. But the Republicans have overplayed their hand in a way that seems startling even for them, and they shall inherit the proverbial wind. They have taken another step, neither to be retraced nor erased, towards their political suicide – an event that cannot come a minute to soon for the real America of fairness, the sanctity of a contract, rules, and equal opportunity.

Go Keith!

1. They don't fear the reaper...Diebold & incescent chatter will work wonders
You would think they would be afraid of overstepping after the recent opinion poles. But they don't seem a bit afraid.

Thats because they know the game is so rigged they can do whatever the f*ck they please.

Two minutes ago, I was wondering what Keith's take would be on this, and you stepped up and provided a link.

4. After the drubbing Republicans took in 2006 and 2008 for screwing up everything...
they were returned to power in 2010. I only hope people will have a memory long enough to actually remember what was done.

5. If the will of the people
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 08:59 PM by The Wizard
is abrogated the next scene might be Scott Walker in a burning wind mill with an angry mob bearing pitch forks and torches on the ground demanding death to the monster.

10. I wish it were
But all it will take is some fear here, some scapegoating here and the electorate will fall back in love with their abusive husband

Lather, rinse, repeat
