GOP Doubles Down on Irresponsible Mooching Loser Message

Huh?

I thought the dialogue was fairly bipartisan and fair on Morning Joe, of all places. The comment was horrid, as all agreed, and the consequences would naturally follow.

Well, lo and behold, I turn on MSNBC this afternoon and two screeching GOP shills are saying "Romney is just echoing Obama's message, because he calls his base victims. So he's just agreeing with Obama."

Who is S.E. Cupp? I've never heard such largyngitic squealing. Are you kidding me?

Are they really going there? Doubling down on calling 47% of Americans .. losers? I can't bear to watch Fox News, so I don't dare turn the channel to see what the right-wing talking point is on this, but I think we just heard it on MSNBC.

Heaven help us.

Unfortunately for conservatives, the insane ones are much more dominant these days.

The first day the GOP thought he was way out of line attacking the president in a crisis, the next day they doubled down, claiming the attacks were somehow Obama's fault and would never had happened under Romney. Jaw dropping nonsense on a daily basis these days.

Sane republicans with an eye to the future are walking away from this unfolding political disaster. That leaves only the lunatic fringe and desperate social climbers like that little snot S.E. "Sippy" Cupp to fill the vacuum left by more experienced and reasonable voices.

I don't see how these people get RMoney to 51%.
