The GOP is in DEEP DOO DOO....spiraling out of control due to Voters Remorse, they struggle

[opihimoimoi]

recover and maintain status..

Internal probs: Neocons, Baggers, Boners regular Pubs....have such differences they are eating ea other.

Rouge Governors ruling like dictators have sullied their overall Brand Name is tarnished.

Maddow, O Donnell, Schultz, Bill Maher etc....are killing the GOPers with TRUTH

[buddysmellgood]

1. It's true. Rapublicans are in panic mode in Wisconsin. Kloppenburg

has them running scared.

[opihimoimoi]

6. What is stunning is the level of arrogance and hubris displayed by Walker.

Ya would think he is crazy....

[buddysmellgood]

19. It's very bush-like.

[opihimoimoi]

31. Yup...both are Classic BULLY EMPORORS...Condenscending and Hoarders

[louslobbs]

43. That's what I think, many of the Republicons in positions of power suffer from mental illness

voted into power by a constituency that suffers from mental illness and causing mental suffering for the majority of us. Bachmann is certified batshit nutz, Palin nutz, Kasick nutz, Scott nutz, Walker nutz, Cantor nutz, Boner nutz, King nutz, Issa nutz........ the majority of Republicons are seriously, mentally infected. Only someone who is not firing on all cylinders can do what they do without remorse or concern for the majority being adversely affected and harmed by their craziness. They are a sick, immoral part of the population and if and when we all wake up, they can be defeated and this country can start to move forward again instead of this backward slide they have forced upon all of us. They are insane, they know it and they don't care what harm they do as long as they get their way. Most of the crazy policy they are dictating or trying to dictate into law will be their undoing. Most of them belong in an insane asylum, not in positions of power to harm the majority of us.

46. How well you say it...thanks.....The GOP Fear if they use Reason/ Common Interest ...they will get a

GOUT Attack....

[louslobbs]

68. Your Op hit it head on and the Thugs know they're in trouble, but just keep digging that hole.

Lou

[hifiguy]

80. I am in my 50s and I can never remember a time

when there were so many obviously batshit insane people in public office. There were always grumpy old mossbacks in both parties resisting change, but they were of the grouchy old coot variety, not the "screams at the clouds and expects answers" ilk.

We now have a collection of the flat-out madder-than-hatters, the completely delusional, the fact-free, rabid ideologues and religulously insane psycho/sociopaths that has to rank with Germany's Reichstag as the worst parliamentary assemblage in the history of the last 100 years. There are creatures, like Batshit Bachmann, who openly profess that they "listen to the voices in their heads." Hearing voices is a leading indicator of paranoid schizophrenia; people like her belong locked securely behind closed doors and heavily medicated with anti-psychotic drugs. Yet they are writing this nation's laws.

Truly, the inmates have taken over the asylum. Who the eff is going to get rid of them?

[opihimoimoi]

84. Despite the smell of feces/urine on the floor...someone has clean the rooms

Bring a squad....

[aquart]

2. But only to their liberal audience. You need to remember that.

[supernova]

3. They can't help themselves

Every time they get power, The Repubs' baser impulses get the better of them: nativism, sexism, hatred of anybody deemed "different" and arrogance are a potent mix.

[shraby]

4. Yup, the right wing is entitled to their own opinions, but not to

their own facts. The truth will shine a bright light on their opinions.

[opihimoimoi]

37. They have started a movement toward SANE VOTING...the Pendulum is in full on swing

[LeftinOH]

5. They're doing a good job grabbing ahold of the tried-and-true "lifesavers":

Anything gay, Anything God, Anything with the word 'socialism' in it.

[opihimoimoi]

9. Like Bullys...charming, charismatic,.....once into office.... the real BULLY with all attending

traits...emerges....voila...its guys like Scott, Walker, Kasich, etc

[freshwest]

39. Their being elected is a version of Stockholm or else battered wife syndrome...

They beat the voters up by making backroom deals that send their jobs away, steal their health with pollution, gamble and lose their food, clothing, rent and the kid's lunch money in the stock market, make the wives and kids hungry homeless, rig their healthcare so they can't make ends meet, and say:

"Oh, I won't go out and cheat on you again, I'm sorry about that. I broke up with the Chamber of Commerce and that Chinese gal. Because I really do love you baby, I really do.

You can't make it without me, you need me to do these things for you. Please, please, can't you see that this is all for your own good? Gimme another chance and vote for me and I'll make it all better."

Not well expressed but you get the picture. Brevity is not my strong suit. ;)

P. S. Not my life experience but I've seen it with too many people.

[opihimoimoi]

40. Very well said...the battered voter is their goal....they use Stress and Poverty to get their way

The poor don't hardly vote.

Hardly pay attention to civic matters...too tired from daily 2 jobs.

The Pub Masters want Domination/subjugation...their Spice is CONTROL.

THEY DO THIS BY GOING NEGATIVE

This N Mode is counterproductive for the overall Health of the Nation...and the Planet.

Its Common Dense that the Baggers GOPers wish to continue with the N Mode....

[freshwest]

79. You got it. I remember an employment test from years ago from a major corporation.

It was very telling. I only got two answers wrong out of hundreds of many different forms of tests that took two full days to answer.

One had pictures of different men wearing medical scrubs, military uniform, overalls and hard hat, and a business suit.

The question was "Which man is dressed for work?"

I picked the man in the hard hat, since they were advertising for construction and technical workers.

Right answer: Business suit.

Guess all the others were dressed to lay around at home.

Another one I got wrong was a question about how people would react to brutal oppression.

It was multiple choice again and I picked, "Fight back."

Their answer: "Become apathetic."

I'm sure you can draw conclusions as to what kind of work the corporation thought was worthy and how to best maximize profits.

That was back in the seventies. No improvement in their mindset as far as I can tell. It worked so well.

[Romulox]

7. The President will have us in *3* losing wars by this November

And the economy has not significantly improved for average people during his administration.

I think the OP represents delusional thinking with regard to Democrats' challenges in the next cycle.

[opihimoimoi]

12. What has the GOP done to this Nation is disgusting....where are their solutions?? Nada. all they

do is whine and snipe...

[JuniperLea]

13. "will have us"

Good morning! I say what a joy it is to look ahead and show you the signs of your future. So much happiness is in store for you the most brilliantly lighted stars are put to shame by the brightness of your light! Oh, happiness what an elusive thing you are, but thank GOD you were born beneath this star!

Drop another coin in the slot and I will tell you more!




Sweet Doraldina tells me that even if your crystal ball tells more than hers (highly unlikely) Obama could kill baby kittens on the front steps of the White House and still be elected over any Pubbie... and that's what counts. There are no viable Pubbies or Dems to challenge him at this point... and it really is too late in the game now anyway.

[Romulox]

15. We are in three wars RIGHT NOW. We're only losing TWO of them at the moment, however.

[Renew Deal]

23. We're in Afghanistan and Lybia

What's the third?

[Romulox]

24. I suggest you read a newspaper before attempting to participate in this discussion. nt

[Renew Deal]

27. You said it.

I didn't. What's the third war? Has it not even happened yet?

[JuniperLea]

26. So, you move the goalpost in order to pull this off...

Forget about it... I don't discuss anything with people who change their story.

[Romulox]

28. No. We are losing two wars now, and involved in three. I predict we will be "losing" all three by

November. No goal posts have been moved.

[Romulox]

18. This is the delusional thinking to which I refer, btw:

" Obama could kill baby kittens on the front steps of the White House and still be elected over any Pubbie."

And W couldn't possibly beat Gore. Or Kerry. Nobody needs to worry. He's got this. Is that the argument--the same one as 2000, and 2004?

Since you're such a visual person, another iconic image comes to mind:

[JuniperLea]

25. Apples and oranges...

Unless you are expecting someone to be appointed to the office of POTUS again.

[Romulox]

29. Presidential elections are held every four years, and Republicans have won the majority of them

in my lifetime. Again, it's delusional to think that it's not possible again.

BTW, I noticed you didn't address 2004. Therefore, I don't think it's even necessary for me to describe how weak of a campaign Al Gore ran for the 2000 election. :shrug:

[Enthusiast]

54. Maybe it isn't necessary

for them to win the next one. Maybe they don't even want to because they have what they want.

[opihimoimoi]

36. Yes, nothing can be taken for granted....but them GOPers are giving us so much ammo

I think the Dynamics have changed enough for a GOP SNub this next time around...despite the mega $$ influx by the Fascists

The Left wing Pundits are on a roll...with the TRUTH

We must reduce emotional voting and replace with realistic logical voting

[LanternWaste]

75. I think one need merely look at polls in the here and now

I think one need merely look at polls in the here and now reflecting conservative support for the GOP vs. liberal support for the Democrats.

I find it reassuring rather than delusional. But I imagine we all put a bit of our own biases into our analysis... :shrug:

[FSogol]

8. Plus, they'll have to completely control their primaries to prevent their extremists

from taking over. Whoever they select to be their candidate will be in trouble for "ignoring the will of the people."

I'm loving it!

[opihimoimoi]

53. Its causing a rift between GOPers and Baggers...the Neocons too

[Enthusiast]

55. The GOP is kissing Teabagger ass 24/7. nt

[opihimoimoi]

57. Baggers are BULLYs and Liars...."The American People sent us here to do a job"

is their war cry

They forget The same people sent Obama to the Oval....

[Enthusiast]

58. When a low voter turn out

elects a Republican majority they see it as a mandate. When a high voter turn out elects Democrats to a majority there is no mandate. There is something fundamentally wrong with their narrative.

[opihimoimoi]

60. Bullies Twist things to their favor...muddies the water

[old mark]

10. K&R- They do this whenever they think they are in power-they manage to

anger and scare many people who think they support the GOP, and change their minds when they find out who they actually voted for.

I think this may be the GOP's high water mark for a few years...we really need some GREAT Democrats running for President in 2016, and we should start looking very soon.

mark

[opihimoimoi]

17. The Dems need a way to solve the mess quickly...go on offensive...asap

[old mark]

45. YES-you would think that would occur to them, but I don't see

that we are moving beyond "bipartisanship", at least not yet...


mark

[opihimoimoi]

47. We Dems should be moving toward a system to filter our side

preventing blue dogs.....and to upgrade...

[old mark]

61. We need a labor party, or at least a labor/liberal wing of the Democratic party-

the current batch of Democratic politicians in Washington is worse than useless.


mark

[opihimoimoi]

70. Not all.....many are good people and well intentioned.....some, as in every group..are MEism People

[old mark]

76. You obviously see them more favorably than I do...there are a few good Democratic pols

in congress, but not enough to brag about...

[opihimoimoi]

77. By nature...I push for Positivity as a way of life, work, and politics.

I see more good in the Dem Party.....

and I see the GOPers more Negative as evidenced by their collective trends.

:toast: Cheers....

[old mark]

78. No argument, certainly, compared to the RWers...nt

[gratuitous]

11. We'll see if the remorse is genuine

In the next several months when unlimited money buys up every last minute of advertising time it can to persuade folks what a wonderful prospect we enjoy if only we elect more Republicans. Yes, I know: You are immune to the blandishments of advertising in the popular media, so what is there to worry about. But big corporations don't spend billions on advertising because it doesn't work on the general population. After months of the message dinning in everyone's ears from the TV and the radio, in print, and in more subtle ways on the talk shows, the repressive message will sound remarkably reasonable to a lot of people who should know better.

It's up to us to make sure they know better, but we're going to have to do it on the cheap with only facts and reality to back us up. It will be a very close thing, but only if we move heaven and earth with our efforts.

[opihimoimoi]

14. Many many citizens are sick of this Bagger wave of crap Leaders

that its almost torches and pitchfork Time via the voting booth

Its a rough row to hoe but we have no choice

The GOP is using social/economic engineering...we must counter...

[still_one]

16. You wouldn't believe it from the MSM /nt

[Enthusiast]

56. You are right......nt

[OHdem10]

20. Guess what MSM is emphaising today. Some poll which indicates

50% do not believe Obama should be re-elected.

You have Charlie Cook on the air yesterday putting
"smilely faces" on the Republican Party and spilling
some yarn about "the people are not focused on what
is going on." essentially dismissing Ohio, Wisconsin
and all the uproar in the states.

This was the first time I actually saw Cooke lack
Credibility. It appears he is the guru to give
the DC Media Cover for their apparent navel gazing.

As I said today, their focus is People do not want
Obama re-elected.

The disconnect between is mindblowing.

[opihimoimoi]

32. They are bltant about making Obama a 1 termer...even at their own best interest. go figure

[Zorra]

21. Multi-national corporations and the Chamber of Commerce can use unlimited funds

to spread lies and spin in the upcoming campaign. SCOTUS made sure this could happen.

A lot of voters are not too bright and have short attention spans/memories, so they buy the lies and vote republican, and then they wonder why their lives suck so bad. So then they get buyers remorse until the next campaign, and then they buy the republican lies again, and they can never figure out why things never change.

The only way the republican party can exist in any significant way is to lie to voters. Plain and simple. The 5 corporate devils on SCOTUS know this, that's why they legislated from the bench, arbitrarily deciding that the wealthy could use unlimited funds to support candidates.

If the republican party was seen solely in the light of its accomplishments, a lot of people that voted republican would want to hang the republicans they voted into office. But cash from wealthy predators provides the propaganda smoke that keeps these not too bright voters in the fog, so they never get to clearly view the naked evil and incompetence of the republicans they voted into power.

Until we end lobbying and privatized campaign funding, the not too bright voter will continue to be preyed upon by wealthy predators, taking the rest of us down in the process.

No one (except a corrupt wealthy person) would vote republican if they had even a lick of common sense.

[opihimoimoi]

33. Its more like COMMON DENSE in my mind...LOL they can't help themselves

The GOPers have succeeded in their Cultivation of FEAR...

Its become prevalent pervasive in too many areas...

Fear Leads to FANTASY....

[freshwest]

22. The braindead won't be brought back to life by these pundits. They're pandering to our side.

Sorry, but I'm suffering a major dose of looking at results of what they've done and not the way I'd like to see things play out.

The teabagger mindset is overflowing with denial and when they see things aren't going right, they keep digging the hole they're dragging us all into. They're still screaming the only reason their policies have failed is that there are too many progressives opposing them.

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Still, K & R'd. Here's hoping you're right and I'm all wrong.

[opihimoimoi]

34. Fanatical Peeps do that...when wrong, deny, get angry, and fight.

The baggers fall into the category.

They yow yowed with a voice steered by them Koch guys and won...why would the koch guys want stupidity in there but to make money? lower restictions on eviron issues, do things to improvish, ruin them unions, etc

[EC]

30. What we are seeing has always been their brand

it's just out in the open now for everyone to see that Dems weren't lying when they said the repubs were going to do these things.

[opihimoimoi]

35. Peeps out there are so overloaded with stress...they cannot afford to pay attention.

Its only lately, because of the GOPers going GROUP THOUGHT in a blatant wway....minimizing the overall Econ Flow, that peeps are seeing the damage

and want demand action to reconcile with better voting..

[Initech]

38. Good they're a party of douchebags, dictators, and deviants.

[opihimoimoi]

42. If it looks nasty, smells, sounds nasty...its The GOP trying to sell us a failed plan

[freshwest]

81. Even what they try to sell that sounds good is a lying hydra, example: 'pro-life.'

[opihimoimoi]

83. They use a lot of Fear in their dialogue

[freshwest]

86. It's a sure fire winner, straight to that part of the brain. Irresistible. Sex is the other trigger.

Anything related to sex is like gawking at wrecks on the freeway. Oh, they have the psychology down pat to divert from their shell game while they rob us of what's more important.

[opihimoimoi]

90. These are cunning Bullies we dealing with...they are exploitors...

[freshwest]

92. And they're paid to harrass people, too.

[opihimoimoi]

93. from the looks of it...far too many....more than normal level indicating

dispersion effort by paid trolls.....coming to dilute with mundane steering questions...input with a NEGATIVE SLANT from so many directions usually means influence. which is a bad thing...stifles.

[freshwest]

94. Intention is always to derail threads with progressive views.

[opihimoimoi]

96. GOPers going all in with big bucks....they noes they on the losing end of the equation

[Fuzz]

41. There's a lot of that going around.

[Blue Owl]

44. The Grand Old Party has left orbit

hold onto something solid and cut the tether!

[opihimoimoi]

48. The Baggers are comping the engine with bad oil...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

49. True Republicans want small government, low taxes, and to be left to live their lives.

Seriously rabid right wingers want to turn this into a theocratic fascist country where they are out of your bank accounts, up your vagina and everyone MUST believe in their god. Honestly, most republicans are turned off by this bullshit, and their voter remorse is out of control. And THANK GOD FOR THAT.

Scroll to the bottom for a great example. Sorry if this was already posted. I always read the OP, post, then read the other posts as if I'm the first one to comment. I'm sorry if this is annoying. :evilgrin:

[opihimoimoi]

50. The GOPers cannot seem to grasp the larger scope...they wish simplicity..small govt, low or no taxes

no spending, etc

and yet is their inability to explain where the funds necessary to run this gigantic system effectively...

Rand was on c span this AM....he wants to eliminate taxes...period...and cut spending....but no mention of revenue source to make up enough monies needed

He is an Idealist....with no ideas on how to fix this national mess

[YellowRubberDuckie]

66. They want the state to pick up the tab for everything.

They think the Federal Government is only there to regulate international commerce and collect tariffs. That's how the federal government was ran previously: tariffs. Only they either don't remember that part or would like to forget. You were charged when anything was brought into the country to be sold out the wazoo. What they fail to remember is most of the state's funds they they piss away are given to them by the federal government. Federal taxes go away, and so does all of the state money. I'm surprised every state in the union has not tried to succeed from the union. Instead of states, let's just all have little countries and see how that works. Just dissolve the United States. Don't be surprised if they start talking about it, if they haven't already. Chaos will ensue. Just watch. It'll be fun. :evilgrin:

[opihimoimoi]

71. What ever happened to TOGETHER WE STAND...DIVIDED WE FALL???

It seems they only a rudimentary understanding of Gov't...amateur Politicians given power before their time...

US Senators should be required to be a Congress person for 3 - 2 year terms before allowed to run. Thats a good filter to ensure the knowledge base is of a high level,,,as opposed to the present system...we need a new ammendment...

Its now People vs Corp Fascists

74. They had a head start but are fading fast as the truth emerges as to how rigid they are

AS of now...the GOPers are turning into a JOKE

[Cresent City Kid]

64. The right may tank the economy timed for the election

and they'll pin it on Obama.

In 2008 they just failed to hold off the crash and had Bush calling for bailouts with the campaign still going.
