The Republican Attack Machine Must be Broken
Patriot Room ^ | 1-27-09 | Scott Martin

Posted on 01/27/2009 12:53:13 PM PST by Scott Martin

We are used to hearing hysterics from the left about the fearsomeness of the "Republican Attack Machine," even though evidence of its existence has been scarce. This is unlike the "Democrat Attack Machine," a term you will never read in the mainstream media, but which keeps humming along destroying innocent conservatives on a near-daily basis. But assuming there ever was anything resembling a Republican version of this machinery, it must be in the shop undergoing repairs right now.

Check out the frightening display of partisan unity when Barack Obama met with Congressional Republicans today:

Mr. Obama walked into a meeting room in the basement of the capitol at 12:17 p.m., greeted by a moderate burst of applause from the audience of dozens of House Republicans. Twenty minutes later, another round of applause could be heard in the hallway outside the closed-door session taking place in Room HC-5...

The loudest burst of applause came when the president extended the question-and-answer period. According to people in the room, Mr. Obama said that his "Senate friends," can wait, a nod to the rivalry between the two Congressional chambers...

“I think what our big moves will be today are to ask the President to help us,” Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader, told reporters on Tuesday. “Help us make this plan better so that it will put Americans back to work.

Yikes! No wonder Democrats are so afraid of Republicans. The terror must be beyond comprehension.

Apparently the Republican Attack Machine broke down around the time of Barack Obama's nomination by the Democrat party. We were breathlessly told that the Republican Attack Machine (RAM) "would eat Obama alive."

We need news outlets who use like terminology - only in reverse. “Democrat attack machines,” “Controversial Liberal Columnist/Author/Whatever.” Fight fire with fire.

They are a bunch of weak-kneed sissies who are afraid to offend that 1% minority. Therefore they wallow in filth and compromise with the party of evil. How I despise them. I despise the Republocants almost as much as the Rats.

I despise them MORE because they had all the blessings and gave it all away, nothing worse than the enemy within...

Ann Coulter has a chapter about the Democrats and Media citing the “Republican Attack Machine” during the election.

It’s funny, informative and frustrating.

Thank you for posting this important information about Obama and his background. He approves by not condemning Ayers and his wife.
How sad that America’s new President is silent about his past relationships with people like Ayers and all the corrupt Chicagoans he is so close to. How much worse will things get, that is the question. Nothing to reverse these issues until the American voter wakes up to the horror they have so happily put in the Whitehouse.

“’I think what our big moves will be today are to ask the President to help us,’ Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio”

Boner, give it up. He is not going to ever “help” you. He wants to bury you... alive.

Where Oh Where was/is the Republican Attack Machine.

See, here's the problem: There is NO REPUBLICAN ATTACK MACHINE! That's not the style of the Republicans. We don't do that, cuz we are "better than that". What most Pubbies don't grasp is that this is what has got us where we are today. I've said on my radio show and on a few different threads here, the only reason to "reach across the aisle" is to CRUSH the ignorant, Socialist policies of the left. But again, the current GOP "leadership" believes we are better than that. And I am afraid we won't wake up to the truth until we are staring through the barbed wire fences of our Obamamessiah created "re-education camps".

The MSM was paid off with political advertisements from Obama. The money paid people like Chris Matthews to get chills running up his leg. Now they want to silence talk radio? The GOP has no guts. Where will be some checks and balances to a bunch of big liberal spenders?

Not broken, just reconfigured to enhance its sycophancy functions and de-emphasize its reason projector.
