Mika just pointed out that Republicans were harder on Gov Christie than Mourdock and Akin

[CreekDog]

that's a really good observation.

[panAmerican]

1. That is so true

[liberal N proud]

2. Is that a surprise?

NO!

[outsideworld]

3. And they see nothing wrong with that .

[CreekDog]

6. i think they do now

and Mika is today complaining about Republicans.

[justiceischeap]

4. Insulting and offending the wimmin folk is allowed

Cavortin' with the enemy and sayin' nice things about him isn't. Cause in this observation it shows how little respect the GOP has for women.

[Wednesdays]

10. And it took a woman to point it out

[justiceischeap]

12. Totally, that's part of the problem with the Republic party

The men are clueless and the women are complicit. Many women hate the word "feminism" but many women are feminists and they proved that on Tuesday and yet, the Republic white guys just don't get why "they" lost.

[catbyte]

14. "Republic" White guys

Love it.

[Pachamama]

23. Best Summary of the GOP and why they do what they do, how they got there and dont understand!

The Republic Party - Yes - the Party of the Republic of a place where the Women and the non-White people know their place. This is why their leaders like Rush call women who aren't complicit and speak out, ugly and nasty names. Its why the name "FemiNazi" is used so frequentely by Rush and other members of this Republic Party to describe us non-complicit women. And we know the names for the non-whites used, especially (but not always) behind closed doors, while they puff on cigars or golf and drink their scotch. They are scared. They see the demographics of their "Republic" changing - its not just the color "Purple".... Its the fact that "White" is becoming a minority group.

And meanwhile, they woke up Wednesday morning not understanding and feeling their "Country" (their Republic) has died....

No, it didnt die...its not real (or maybe it was back in the good ole days of slavery and before suffrage)....But in their minds, this "Republic" is real and is what they stand for. and they dont and cant and wont ever understand.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. They were trying to expand that "Republic" outside of our borders at one time....

....now they realize they don't have it at home.

They are firmly of the opinion America is in need of a purge of all those who would refuse to recognize their dominion.

[Delphinus]

16. One that doesn't

seem to often have a clue, from reading here on DU what Mornin' Joe is like.

[d_r]

5. that's because they don't really

disagree with the rape comments

[dynasaw]

7. They Deserve to Lose

Misguided on all fronts and brain dead to boot.

[TahitiNut]

8. Well, to be fair, Gov. Christie is a "chick magnet."

The ENTIRE Morning_Joke is obsessed with what's 'good' for the GOP ... and they couldn't care less about what's good for the country! The Morning_Joke is a narcissistic clusterfuck.

[gollygee]

9. Very good point

They don't mind rape apologists as much as people willing to work with Obama.

[Delphinus]

17. You,

unfortunately, have stated it all too accurately.

[Sadiedog]

11. And they wonder why they lost!nt

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

13. Scarborough needs to STFU...

And stop filibustering Mika. Going on and on about his 4 elections, yet nothing about the dead intern.. but I digress... Joe, you were elected bak when REpugs were people, not lizards... back when there were moderates not baggers running your party. This repug party is out of touch and irrelevant.

[CreekDog]

15. well and he thinks there's nothing wrong with their ideology

says Hispanics are their natural supporters, then Julian Castro comes on and mentions that his San Antonio just voted to increase their taxes to fund schools.

And Hispanics in California seem to have done the same.

No, most Hispanics are not supportive of Reagan-style cutting of social programs and schools to give rich guys tax cuts.

But nice try Joe!

[LynneSin]

18. To be fair there were probably some fetuses out there in the path of Sandy

Who knows if Christie did enough to protect them?

[Sophiegirl]

20. Considering the gravity of the situation in NJ

I'm willing to give Christie a pass right now. I may not like him, but he has a hell of a lot of people in his State that are suffering. My company is matching employee donations for their recovery efforts.

Donate a couple of bucks if you can. They can use every dime they can get.

This is one of those times to put politics aside and pull together as human beings and Americans. I fear there will be an increasing number of these types of natural disasters in the future.

Politics should have no place where lives are at stake and people are suffering after something like this.

IMHO

[efhmc]

22. Agreed. Will look at where to donate. Maybe you can start a thread. Many political donors

are tapped out but some will come through. I really had no thought of donating until you woke up my conscience.

[LynneSin]

25. Even Bruce Springsteen gave Christie a pass

And Springsteen ignored Christie for YEARS. Wouldn't campaign for him, wouldn't play at any events for him wouldn't even return his call.

You know who got Springsteen to finally talk to Christie - it was Obama. Obama was on AF1 with Springsteen and Obama had called Christie to follow up on what was happening in NJ with Sandy. Then Obama gave the phone to Springsteen so Bruce could chat with Christie.

[rizlaplus]

19. Puzzling

... until you think about it.

The GOP wages continuous war on several fronts - one against the President and another against women. There can be no deviation until Final Victory.

[julian09]

21. The repug platform reflected the Mourdock and Akin position.

they couldn't critize it, Christy's praise of Obama, was against tea party's hate everything Obama.

[Scuba]

24. I've yet to hear any leading Republican speak out against the election shenanigans.
