I've had enough, after watching Gerry Rivers of all people, an inveterate Obama fan, throw dirt on McCain/Palin, I think the list of traiterous Republicans otherwise known as Vichy Republicans should be assembled before the election.
What about Republicans who support amnesty? Amnesty will add millions of Democrats to the voter roles, effectively ending any chance the GOP has of getting the White House or control of the House or Senate in the future.
no argument from me....why milquetoast Rove has always been Godlike here beats me...
and I recall Mehlman race baiting over amnesty and gender baiting over Miers.....I particularly hate that shite from GOP
Powell....lord knows there was only ONE REASON some here loved him...same reason so many whites vote for Obama.
the Doles....that I’m ignorant on but do know they are moderates at best...
Snowe and Collins..yep
Molinari...yep
Foley..yep..lol
all the cakeboy GOP...stands to reason most are liberal on at least one social issue
Weekly Standard.....they have sure showed their true colors this election.....they did in amnestygate too.
Ditto Brit Hume’s panel.....although Kristol bad as he is has defended Palin. Gun grabber Krauthammer has been slow out of the gate. That bunch suffers from beltway elitism and some residual resentment of Christian conservatives
as for Bushes....please no more from that family....they have a history of forgetting who they crawled into bed with at the start of the party
I’d add Cornyn - he’s indicated he’d support amnesty (when it was dressed up and called something other than amnesty). He was one of Bush’s biggest cheerleaders in Congress as well.
“The funny thing about the Republican Party. It was always the liberal party from its birth.
The first conservative Republican nominated was Goldwater, by a whisker. The first (and only) conservative Republican President was Reagan.
Republicans were always the liberals until recently.”
The one consistent difference is the Republican party has been the party of individual rights. It has always been the position of the Republicans that expansion of the government presents a threat to individual rights, so the Republicans have consistently been against government expanstion.
Even Teddy Roosevelt’s (the most “liberal” Republican) reforms were rooted in protecting the individual. Breaking up monopolies and regulation of industry all have their roots in protecting individual rights and making sure no single entity becomes too big to threaten anyone’s individual rights.
Liberal vs. Conservative is not the correct historical lens to view the Republican party. Individual rights vs. govermental power is the correct lens.
How predicable! How well deserved!
You now prove all the claims made against the GOP by the left.
How nice......
“Let’s call this the Enemies List.”
No, No, 1,000 times No.
You might as well call it the Martyrs List, because that is what you would turn them into using a phrase like that.
Vichy Republicans is a better term. It implies they have abandoned their convictions for conveince/reward.
You had better look again at the polling of the American Hispanic voter who supported Bush in the last two elections.
They have defected because of all the vitriolic behavior of noisy conservative border protectors.
What you predicted would happen due to amnesty has occurred as a result of the rhetoric you used to prevent it.
Enjoy! The victory is all yours. As predicted.
The war is for the country.
C. Buckely, though moderately talented, knows he will not achieve as much in journalism as did his father. So he has found another way to get attention, like Ronald Prescott Reagan and Patti “Davis”.
True, the other constant is that the Republican Party has always been identified with business and business interests.
The Chamber of Commerce has always been and will always be a part of the Republican Party, even to when it was known as the Whig Party.
Agreed.
He deserves a special place in Hell. Screw him.
There are only a few of us still here who can speak to this issue.................very few.
But whatever.......Politics is not a game to be played by amature social advocates. All divisive issue advocacy plays have negative consequences. It is what it is.
It was done wrong, it was infiltrated by the wrong people to be associating a political campaign with, and the results of it are quite stunning.
He and Krauthammer have actually about been the only ones on the Panel that have been the least bit supportive of mccain/palin. In fact just the other day he came to her defense and joe plumber.
Very little compared to "Quisling Republicans!" :-D
How about "Cheese-eating Surrendercrats?" Or "Jean-Luc Republicans?" :-)
I beg to differ, the folks who are card carrying Vichy Republicans have already cleaved to Obama, they have left the party to chase the illusion that he is selling.
The Vichy list is much more about who said what, wrote what, and did what, to undermine McCain/Palin’s chances of winning.
They should be held accountable for their actions, not given a pass in some sort of gesture of phoney party unity, the very thing they went out of their way to undermine.
I had planned on starting this list AFTER the election, however, the fact McPalin still have a chance to win, AND people, decent people still rely on these “opinion leaders” for information caused the list to be started early to let it be known exactly what these people are all about.
