Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, decried the GOP for obstructing Obamacare as he scolded the Republican Party as "nasty" and "narrow in it's appeal" and strangely accused it of no longer being "a party of grand conservatism," as if opposing the current liberal version of health care reform isn't being conservative? Matthews, along with Democratic Representative John Larson of Connecticut, also wistfully pined for the days of a less combative GOP as the Hardball host wondered what happened to "the moderate Republicans" that "used to work...for positive government.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know Congressman, I've never seen the Republican Party so narrow in its appeal. It's basically come out and said, "Dis-invest in America, watch your pocketbook. Don't do anything, don't have any government." It's forgotten eight years of sort of spend thrift behavior by President Bush. It is like the guy in the, in the, in a, in a , what's that movie? Casablanca. Where the guy says "I can't believe gambling has been going on here." It's like they've discovered this sort of narrow Republicanism. What do you make of that in Connecticut? What do you make of the fact the Republican Party now isn't a party of grand conservatism, any more? It's a party of this narrow, little, nasty, don't do anything party.
...
MATTHEWS: Thank you very much. U.S. Congressman Larson, John Larson from Connecticut, who remembers the Rockefeller Republicans! The moderate Republicans! That used to work alongside of you for positive government that are now missing from the fold. Thank you very much for joining us. Congressman Larson, the chairman of the Democratic caucus in the House.

I’m not sure I disagree with Chrissie’s analysis. In the years it had power, what did it do to stem the encroachment of leftist ideology into the fabric of the nation? How can I view legislative initiatives like No Child Left Behind or Medicare D as a return to the founding principles of the nation? All the Republicans have done in my lifetime is fill the public trough more slowly than the Democrats, like cheap imitations. Dole and McCain...No wonder they can’t hold power.
Hahahahahahahha
Try harder to be more outrageous so maybe somebody will give a obama
(I am going to start using “obama” as my filter substitution for the “s” word).
Try it:
“You ain’t worth obama”
“Are you obammaing me?”
“I’m getting tired of all this obama.”
Matthews: “Awwwwwwwwwww you guys dont want socialized medicine government takeover of 1/6th of the economy? Wahhhhhhhh You never want to do NOTHIN!”
Yup. All white, all night.
Make sure it is a dark alley that has a mudhole somewhere within it.....it’s a fitting place to stomp him into.
