Reason the Republicans are hiding from debating one another is because they look like a freak show

[NNN0LHI]

Like right out of Barnum & Bailey. Every time a group of these nuts appear on the same stage together the Dems pull farther ahead in the national polls. Thats the truth. Don't let no one bullshit you on this.

No one is buying what these Republican crazies are selling any more. Has anyone else figured this out?

Clinton fatigue has turned into REPUBLICAN FATIGUE.

We all aren't going to get our favorite Dem as our nominee. But the Dem nominee whomever that is will win by a landslide next election. Take that to the bank.

1. There's another reason

They're all white privileged males.

They hardly reflect the true makeup of America.

And they know that.



"But the Dem nominee whomever that is will win by a landslide next election"

I don't know. There's a lot of stories of voter caging, flawed electronic voting machines and other methods the Repugs are using to subvert the election process.

2. Its going to be so one sided they won't be able to steal it

That what I think.

3. I wish I shared your optimism

2000 and 2004 taught me to be more reserved in my predictions.

4. It'll be a cakewalk.

Just ask President Gore and President Kerry.

6. Didn't like the freak show part I take it?

Or maybe something else?

8. Honestly, I think we were lucky in 2006.

I think Rove et al. were unprepared for how unsatisfied the public was with Republicans, but I would imagine that they're much more prepared this time to make sure they switch enough votes more drastically than lat time to make sure semi-accountability doesn't happen. And instead of fixing this issue, Feinstein is putting it off until 2010. Seriously, I can not believe it would take 10 years to get a paper trail after 8 years of trying. I pray that you're right, but I also remember hearing that Kerry would win in a landslide.

9. And Americans are just as dissatisfied with Congress now

The reasons are different for the most part, but having such a low approval rating is not going to help.

5. I think you're right. n/t

7. You may be onto something there

The GOPpies have certainly painted themselves into a corner. They've lost all the ordinary old-fashioned conservatives with any common sense. What's left of the Party is split into two major groups: The extreme free market-worshippers and the extreme fetus-worshippers. That's worked okay until now, because the free market-worshippers have paid the bills and the fetus-worshippers have showed up at the rallies.

But now they have achieved all they can for each group without losing the other group's support. Anything they try to do to please the fetus-worshippers will lose them the free market-worshippers. Anything they try to do to please the free market-worshippers will lose them the fetus-worshippers.

They started the Iraq War in the hopes that it would give them something to fiddle with that would please both groups, since both groups contain a large sub-segment of bloodthirsty, dick-waving nutjobs. But now even the fetus-worshippers and the free market-worshippers are starting to be wary of the Iraq War. It's more of a liability than an asset. They can't use it to unite the two diametrically opposed halves of their party anymore.

And the only GOPpies they can haul out of the bin to run for President are the flake jobs who will appease one or the other of those two groups, while the group they don't please picks them to shreds all over talk radio, the netroots, and elsewhere. So all they got left on the primary platform is shredded flakes.

Any GOPpie who looks remotely like a thinking human being with an atom of common sense would get torn to bits by BOTH sides, so they won't touch it with a barge pole.

Yep, yer onto something.

If they hadn't done such hellish damage to my Constitution and my government over the last seven years, I could even squeeze out a tiny drop of sympathy for them. But as it is...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! They did it to THEMSELVES!

Out of the gene pool, you morans... the human race doesn't need your DNA.

10. Look like a freak show? Hell they act like freaks.

11. 3 or 4 of the goofballs stuck their hands up and denied the existence of evolution

I am curious to find out how many of them don't believe in the existence of gravity.
