Where have they been for the last 9 months? in a drug-induced coma? in solitary confinement? in North Korea?
How can the obvious have escaped them? Their business is politics, government!!!! That's what we pay these public servants to do --- to serve their constituency, the Republic, the CONSTITUTION.
How can they not see that we are in the middle of a coup and that we will be blessed by the favor of God to even see an election in 2012.
Deception is hanging in the air like a thick blanket of fog. I don't even think mod Dems or Independents voted for this. I keep asking myself what is the matter with these Repubs? Can they be that dense? Are they being blackmailed?
It is incomprehensible to me that they let Beck & Rush twist in the wind as if they are some hysterical, over-reacting ninnies starved for attention and ratings.
standing up to Beck and other conservative activists ..............
They want to pick a fight with the only living, breathing, thinking organisms in their own party???
IMO, we will continue to see articles like this to try and push us to a third party there by rendering us ineffective come the next set of elections. Bad idea. Don’t fall for this fluff! No third party! It was our party to begin with! We are making a difference! Stay the course!
We must!

I never wanted a tag line until I read yours. We are witnessing the living proof of that profundity.
Maybe I am the idiot; I had no idea how the Repub Party had been taken over by RINOS. Is it possible that since the Dem Party has been taken over by Marxists and Nat'l Socialists, that RINOS think the Repub Party will become the new Democrats? Is that what they are thinking? How delusional.
The GOP "leadership" is a creature of Washington. The entire Washington establishment is delusional.
The 2010 election will be about Democrat vs Republican and liberal vs conservative, to be sure. But, more than anything, it will be about Washington vs The Rest Of Us.

I wish I could take credit for that profound statement but it’s a quote straight out of 1984. The more I re-read that book, the truer and truer it seems to become.
We are falling into a time where collectivist thought rules (It’s better for everyone if....). I think it comes from the writing that students are required to read. When I was in college (20 years ago) I had to read the Commmunist Manifesto for three different classes. Only collectivist, class warfare thought was taught and discussed. It always grated against me.
Writers like Orwell, Rand, and others were never taught in the same fashion. They discussed the horrors of collectivism thought many times.

“WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THESE Repubs???
Where have they been for the last 9 months? in a drug-induced coma? in solitary confinement? in North Korea? “
Are they even alive? No evidence of it.

Since the time I authored the post I am replying to, two media commentators have tried to answer this question (which has been asked so often on FR it deserves its own thread). One of them was Rush.
BOTH men (Rush & one whose name escapes me at the moment) both said, in effect, “They don’t see it. They live in a bubble; they read NYT, WaPo -— if it’s not there, they miss it. THEY DON’T SEE IT!”
This is not a rhetorical question. It must be asked of and answered by every Repub and Independent representative in Congress.
Rush in the ONLY conservative leader pounding the drum rhythmically & persistently with the message:
Obama hates America
What is happening is not by accident; it is by design.
The PLAN is to destroy America.
” We are fighting a fascist, socialist-—whatever you want to call it-—TAKEOVER and REMAKING of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” Rush; Sept 17, 2009.
And just recently-—the same line I’ve been pounding to shut up the race-baiting-—Rush said, “Black isn’t the color we have a problem with; RED is the color we have a problem with.”
Don’t get me wrong; Beck is a hero & is inflicting much damage. Where would we be without him, but Rush, more than anyone knows the value of the “broken-record method.” He says the above every day & backs it up with FACTS.
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Rush’ revolutionary acts are making some Repubs uncomfortable. Tony Blankley just said so in the recent Accuracy in Media event. Some Repubs question the wisdom of uttering such harsh rhetoric. He has now begun to lean toward the “harsher” rhetoric. Blankley & these Repubs still don’t get it.
Rush is factually describing, day by day, what is happening to our country and ascribing the correct motives to all the perps.
We can’t let Repubs act like this is just business as usual in Washington-—and spew out the deranged thought that the Dems won; we may not like it, but it’s their turn; they have a majority;we are doing what we can”
Is it possible that Rush is correct?-—That most Repubs just don’t see it?
Personally, I find the comment incredulous, but like I said-— since the time I made the post, 2 commentators I respect both gave the same answer.
What do you think?
How do we get their heads out of the sand?
How do we force them to see the obvious?
And then...How do we get them to speak out?
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Why is smoking out the Repubs so important? Because I think even many Dems & Independents are getting squeamish. Is THIS what they voted for? Not to mention the utter disgust they must be feeling to see their party turning into a crime syndicate. I don’t think so, but until the Repubs start screaming, the mod Dems & Independents can’t utter a peep.
