The Rise Of Newt Gingrich Proves Reprobate Republicans Don't Give A Rat's Ass About Family Values

Carry on...

1. Oh, they care about your family values.

Just not their own.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. My take-away is that their hatred for Obama is so overwhelming

that they can rationalize:

1) voting against their own interests,
2) voting against their own principles (politically and religiously),
and
3) voting in fear as opposed to voting with the facts.

[TwilightGardener]

9. That's pretty much it.

[NotThisTime]

10. That hatred is always there, the fact that they hate Obama is just coincidence. A world of hypocrisy

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. they voted against themselves with the last Dem presidents too

they just don't like the fact that the rich's taxes are being wasted on the poor and including teachers and education.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. Their hatred for Obama is a by product of their hatred for liberals in general.

[Kingofalldems]

3. This was always a trick to get votes---the 1% control the GOP

[ProdigalJunkMail]

4. sanctity and preservation of marriage, indeed!

yep, them gays is a HUGH threat to marriage...not poor old asswipe heteros who divorce and remarry more often than they renew their driver's license.

5. Will men still continue

to try to control women's bodies. How can they now preach against abortion, contraceptives and health clinics for women while they have abandoned marrage and family values. So the great party of family values really doesn't give a rats ass about it. Have as many girl friends as you wish, take your Viagra but get out of our reproductive life. Thank you Newt you have ended the National Nightmare against women's rights.

6. We should have never bankrupted the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union went tits-up and suddenly America's Authoritarian Followers were denied their Ancient Enemy. Like ants scurrying leader-less when you kick the anthill they have run around in a panic looking for some "other" to hate and be frightened of. They need a "powerful" leader to tell them who to hate, who to be frightened of. They claim to love "freedom", but TRUE freedom scares them shitless. What they mean is the "freedom" to be told what to do, who to salute, who to hate, where and what to worship, who to be frightened of.

They now have a 5-headed enemy. Liberals, Teh Ghey, Poor people, non-Christians, and Brown People. Oh, and women. Women are for the sexual pleasure of men and must pop out a baby a year so Murrika will have plenty of soldiers to fight her enemies

They need a "strong" leader who will protect them. They think they have found that leader in Newt Gingrich. How do you explain why someone as morally and ethically challenged as Newt appeals to "Law-and-Order Family Values" Authoritarian followers? The Authoritarians have 2 standards of conduct, one for themselves, and one for their leaders. The standard for the leaders is like something out of "Animal Farm" where the leaders are accorded things not considered good for the masses because, well, because they're the leaders, and leading is hard work.

Read Bob Altemeyer's "The Authoritarians" it's a free download, and it'll scare the piss out of you.

16. You forgot dinner.

Women have to keep house, provide meals, keep the children from annoying them, AND provide sex.

Geesh. Get it right.

[BiggJawn]

18. And clear away the empty beer cans

but leave them one to piss in so they don't have to miss "The Game" going to the bathroom.

Sorry, I flunked "How to be a Conservative Husband 101"...

[lindysalsagal]

23. And silently clear away the empty beer cans..do you don't miss any important

sports commentary.

[lonestarnot]

7. Who the fuck ever thought they did?

[izquierdista]

8. A little off the subject...

...but since family values are down the shithole and we don't care about womanizing, can we get Elliot Spitzer back into public office? Maybe to replace Eric Holder?

[Chiyo-chichi]

11. Is there any chance of a parade of women coming forward who were with him after he married wife #3?

Thus confirming wife #2's claim?

'Cause that would be awesome.

I can't imagine that anyone would admit to being with him, though.

[backscatter712]

12. They're playing double-definitions.

You think "family values" means valuing your family, being decent to your spouse, raising your kids right & getting them a good education - that's the cover story the Repubs give us...

The internal definition of family values is father is dominant, mother is barefoot, pregnant & in the kitchen, and REPLACEABLE, and the kids are submissive, silent and raised to be good little robots for the GOP, on threat of the belt. Gay kids are disowned and thrown on the street, the Bible is law, especially the Old Testament.

[wiggs]

14. The gop, pundits, and media have been feeding the gop base with

hate, polarization, fear, lies, anger, smearing, contempt, hypocrisy, etc in order to get them to vote NOT on issues but on doctrine and emotion. This has been going on for a long time. The gop doesn't have the issues....this tactic is necessary.

So, OF COURSE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET A LYING, ANGRY, HYPOCRITICAL CANDIDATE like Newt, filled with contempt for anything associated with the other party. It is a natural outcome of the tactics used to fool people.

[Odin2005]

15. They don't give a damn as long as the person "repents for their sins".

Something only RW crazies can do in their sick minds.

[Major Hogwash]

17. "I want to make it legal to have open marriages."

What a guy!

If marriages are open, then why have them?

[Scurrilous]

19. K & R

[gulliver]

21. The mask is coming off. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

22. Their Obama Derangement Syndrome is so virulent,

they just want the one who can hurl the nastiest crap at him.

The Congressional GOP has shown by example how they're willing to contradict their own positions simply to oppose Obama.

The hatred is visceral.

And the more he walks the walk they could only talk, the worse it gets.
