The Swamp ^ | 11/12/2008 | Jim Tankersley

IMHO, losers go to the other swamp ruled by a gigantic RAT.

[cll]

Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.

[Mobile Vulgus]

Well, it is fitting that rat is on a ship. After all, he is one responsible for sinking the GOP ship!!!!

[cricket]

Which ‘rat’ are you referrring to. . .

[GOP_Lady]

Thanks, Fred and Mitt.

[patriciaruth]

So, who do we want for RNC chairman?

Michael Steele or Fred Thompson?

[GregB]

Fred please throw Mitt overboard before that ship sinks...oh give him a lifeboat...

[G.Mason]

" ... The Republican elite could be found this week on a Caribbean cruise after being stung in the Nov. 4 elections ..."

Bwahahahahaha

Stung? More like a self inflicted mortal wound.

Seems their death will be agonizingly painful & slow ... for those of us who are watching.

Can't anyone put them out of their misery?

[DooDahhhh]

STEELE

[patriciaruth]

Okay, Steele sounds good to me.

[olezip]

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson joined policy analysts and 700 subscribers who want to revive the Republican Party on the cruise hosted by the National Review, a conservative magazine.

It should not be difficult for the Republicans to connect the dots -- borders, language, & culture (and Ronald Reagen).

Perhaps they should take a look at the Savage Nation's manifesto.

[wolfcreek]

Hey! Aren’t all the Governors off having a meeting somewhere tropical?

What do they know?

[buckleyconservative]

If Christopher Buckley, Peggy Noonan, Katherine Parker, David Brooks, etc, are on that ship, I hope they experience the Poseidon adventure.

[MaggieCarta]

Losers, at least in this election cycle, apparently go to the Caribbean.

This cruise was planned for months ago.

[rockinqsranch]

I didn’t read the entire article so forgive me if I jump the gun here. It seems to me that if this cruise is happening at this time, it was put together more than a year ago. These cruises don’t happen within the timeframe existing since the losing election, therefore this article is biased.

[gussiefinknottle]

this is a cruise that is planned every year and is available for anyone
who wants to go(provided you fork over the cash.) it is not elaborate
or over the top like the events planned by billionaire dems.
the article is misleading at best and borders on outright misrepresentation.
people should complain to the reporter for his mischaracterization.

The Swamp is the DC edition of the Chicago tribune, as in Chicago - the other America’s capital city.

[Nathan Zachary]

Oh come now, that's pretty harsh. He actually would have won if it wasn't for MSM and their relentless attacks on both he and Sarah, and the stomach turning worship for that fraud Obama.
Add to that the massive nation wide vote fraud orchestrated by ACORN.
Considering all of that, McCain actually came as close as anyone could have to winning.

He also had the public's extremely low popularity of the Bush admin to overcome.

Blaming McCain for everything is ignoring reality, something you would expect to see from DUer s after Bush won both his terms, not here.

That is the annual GOP governors meeting, which is where Sarah Palin is.
