The GOP is used to being the bully on the beach.

[chieftain]

They expect the Democrats to be the 90lb. weakling. The RW does not know how to react a muscular liberal's campaign. I am loving the way Obama and his staff are kicking Romney's ass.

6. Just heard that too.

It has been a long time since I have enjoyed listening to James.

2. Yup... and the second we DO take the offensive...

...it's all crying and demanding apologies and "no fair!"

Bunch of entitled babies:

8. I expect the GOP to act that way.

What distresses me is the way that TV Democrats rush to shoot our own wounded. There is a reliable choir of hand-wringers and bed-wetting dinos who owe their bookability to an unseemly willingness to attack any strong Democratic statement. I am usually appalled at the quality of argumentation mouthed by media-identified "liberals". It has finally occurred to me that the reason that Ford, Davis and, sad to say Rendell, are on so often is that they can be counted on to undermine the President.

3. Bullies only have power over us if we let them.

Look at recent GOP history.

PNAC was a coup within the GOP.
Bush, Jr. and Cheney are now toxic to the GOP.
Palin was not vetted.
Romney was not vetted.

There is no one running the show and there has not been for some time.

I do not advise letting up on them or thinking we can take it easy. But the more power we ascribe to them, the stronger they get.

Let's face Reality -the GOP has been dying for a while, now.

If we keep thinking they have power over us, it will take that much longer for them to die.

10. These fucking sociopaths understand only two things: dominance

and subordination.

They can dish it out, but they can't take it, the whining pieces of shit.

11. Watch for them being super nasty though

GOP swift boats almost sunk - no doubt Mr. Turd Blossom is thinking of something evil in retaliation?

[chieftain]

13. They were going to be rotten, scurrilous and untruthful no matter what we did.

There is nothing they won't say, there is no lie they won't tell. I am thrilled that we finally understand how debased the GOP has become.

[lunatica]

12. Remember that painful gut knot we felt for 10 years with Bush?

They're feeling it now. Karmic adjustment time.

14. The GOP has been in tatters since 2006 but Fox News and MSM have kept them alive
