Comments on: Is The Party Over For Republicans?

[navyjimfl]

never voted democrat but will this time.....bush has done serious harm to the repubican party.....I don''t know anyone who thinks he is a good president......worst president we have ever had....this country is in trouble...

[messiahx4eve]

IT_Oldtimer go back and check your stats on state to state popularity, Hillary is the more popular with middle and mid-level groups than Obama, I personally don''t care for either one, either my cat or dog would make a better candidate than either of these two blenderheads but that''s just my personal feelings there. I support more of an Aggarian type life style anyway.

Obama Seeks Red Cross Help On War Crime Charges Against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traduccisn al Espaqol abajo)

Russian Foreign Ministry reports to President Medvedev are stating today
that US Presidential candidate Barack Obama has sent one of his top aides
named Valerie Jarrett to meet with officials from the International
Committee of the Red Cross, in Geneva, Switzerland, to what is being
described in these reports as the %u2018preliminary stage%u2019 to begin actions in
the International Court of Justice charging the present United States
President, Vice President and former US Defense Secretary with war crimes.

As we had previously written about in our October 15, 2005 report, the
International Committee of the Red Cross opened in that year a War Crimes
Portfolio alleging that President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld, and other US Officials, were in violation of Articles 3
and 4 of the Geneva Convention and could be tried for Crimes Against
Humanity.

The Nation is a radical left wing rag. Without doubt its editors, reporters, and most of its subscribers fervently wish for the demise of the Republican Party. These people have a big problem, however. The people of the United States of America will never -- repeat never -- elect Barak Hussein Obama president. The Dems have an imulse to political suicide. They have done it many times before. Their ideology gets in the way of their own self interest -- unless tilting at windmills is considered in their self interest. Now the San Francisco/Marin County/Manhattan/moveon.org/The Nation crowd has backed an unelectible candidate. They are among the best friends of the Republican Party.

This is a lucid article that paints a picture in moderate terms of the scope of Republican failure.

It is actually much worse.

But, the ace in the hole for Republicans goes to certain truths best summarized by JS Mills:

"Conservatives are not necessarily ignorant, but most ignorant people are conservative."

[bluestardad]

REPIGS ARE DONE!

THEY LIED AMERICA INTO A WAR

EVEN NOW VOTED AGAINST A NEW AND IMPROVED GI BILL!

FOR THE VERY SOLDIERS THEY HAVE FORCED TO RETURN TO WAR ZONES 4 TO 6 TIMES!

YES AMERICA WENT TO WAR WITH THE GOVERNMENT WE HAVE! BUT NOW AMERICA IS CHANGING ITS GOVERNMENT AND FOR NOW IS TRYING TO DO SO WITHIN THE EXSISTING SYSTEM!

WAR CRIMES TRIALS NEED TO BE FILED AGAINST THOSE WHO LIED AMERICA INTO THIS WAR COSTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

[it_oldtimer]

Ermm...last time I checked, Obama had both the most actual votes AND the most delegates...or did I miss something recently?

And I believe that I recently read that Bill and Hill together made in excess of $100 Million dollars last year, according to their tax returns, while Obama only managed to finally pay off his student loans just a few short years ago?

Poor Hillary, she has to battle such a ultra-rich opponent when she herself is sooo very poor.

It looks like maybe, just maybe, lots of personal wealth and tons of inside political connections might just not be sufficient to "buy" the nomination this time around?

One can always hope...

[messiahx4eve]

Hillary is the People''s choice while Obama is the delegate''s choice, the electorial voting system once again shows its flaws by NOT following the Will of the People. Anyone should be able to be president but the way the delegate system works, you have to be financed by MILLIONS just in order to be heard, thus limiting WHO can be elected president. Bush senior already proved that you can buy the presidency by his purchase of eight years of dubya misery. The corporate america wants puppets for presidents, not anyone with an IQ above 70, hence bought and paid for delegates and super delegates in the electorial system, we just get to vote for their amusement.

[stn_sage]

Excepting Bush, Cheney, staff, profiteers, and supporters, everyone else better pray it''s over!

We also better hope that it''s not to late to turn things around and fix ALL the problems that Bush & the Rep controlled 110th Congress gave us!

And, THAT remains to be seen!

The book "What''s the matter with Kansas - how conservatives won the heart of America'' describes the puzzling appeal of Republicans among working-class Americans fairly well.

Glad to see reality rear its ugly head (finally) for those people. I DO think that those working-class Americans who''ve been voting Republican the last 20 years owe something to the rest of us: how about paying for the national debt? Thanks to you, Republicans created 80% of it.

===disputing the lies of the Leftist media, have allowed these lies to poison the minds of the dumb masses.===
Posted by chazzone

Wha lies would that be? That we are in an unending, bloody war in Iraq? That gas prices are through the roof? That jobs are flowing overseas? That a ressession is brewing? That people are losing homes more than ever before? That the dollar continues to plunge? That our prestige in the world is at an all-time low? That Bush is president and that Congress was under Republican control six of the last eight years? That those in charge should be made responsible for the problems we have? Exactly what lies are you referring to?

[nbrdknkldgr]

They stole enough $$$ from this country so they''ll have at least 8 years to crawl back into their caves to count it!

[nbrdknkldgr]

And that just some "straight talk" for you folks.

Something you would never see the flamming left-wing liberals that make up the staff at The Nation "ever" write about.

Because, they to, are in-the-tank for Obama.

So The Nation will censor, distort, lie, and smear in order to "promote and prop up" their hero, Obama.

Sad.............

Here is some straight talk for you...Obama getting into the white house will largely depend on who he picks as a running mate, and I guarantee you that it won''t be Hillary, and that''s sad because she shot herself in the foot long time ago!

===in the elite liberal state of Oregon, which isn''''t America.===
posted by peerception5

Last I checked, there were 50 states and they were all America.

If America is ever defeated, it won''t be by terrorists or Muslims. It will be from within by people like you, who seem to think that people who don''t think just like you aren''t Americans, that they are somehow "the enemy". Now that is truely sad.

But based on all the special elections you neocons keep losing, it seems that there are a lot of places in this country that "aren''t America".

Perceptions5, well said. There is a lot of truth in what you said and you said it better than I ever could.

If Hillary is nominated there will be h3ll to pay with black democrats and if Obama is nominated the dems face likely defeat. Further, the PC culture (created in large part by liberal elements of society) has made it nearly impossible to discuss some of the issues behind this democrat problem.

The conservative dislike for McCain''s moderate-to-liberal stance on certain issues could also be a problem, but the republicans have an easier problem than the democrats.

[perceptions5]

Well one thing is for sure Obama won''t win the white house in November.

Seems his pal and pastor, Rev. Wright, has scared the hell out of "white Democrat" voters.

Obama hasn''t won the white democrat vote since February before Rev. Wrights racist rants were exposed. Obama did win a slight majority of voters in the elite liberal state of Oregon, which isn''t America.

Unfortunately the Democrats are "stuck" with Obama now and couldn''t nominate Hillary if they wanted to.

And the reason why they can''t is because of the color of Obama''s skin.

And that just some "straight talk" for you folks.

Something you would never see the flamming left-wing liberals that make up the staff at The Nation "ever" write about.

Because, they to, are in-the-tank for Obama.

So The Nation will censor, distort, lie, and smear in order to "promote and prop up" their hero, Obama.

It is posts like these that make me think that the entire republican party is arrested at the 6th grade maturity level.

Here''s something else for you to think about... my vote counts as much as yours does. (Dude, is your head starting to hurt?)

[ramos937]

Let''s see: (1) The country is againist the Iraq War for reasons too numerous to be counted here. The GOP is in favor of it. (2) Minorities are made to feel unwelcome by the GOP. Witness the punitive immigrant legislation sponsored by exclusively GOP office holders. And notice the lack of black or brown or yellow faces at McCain''s events. (3) Gas is at an all time high and the GOP defends big oil. (4) Under the GOP, the national debt went from a public $5 trillion (incurred by all of the administrations up to Bush the son) to over $10 trillion under George W. and the Republican congress.

Yep, I would say the party is over for the GOP as a national party.
