Thread: The South and the Republicans

  1. #1

    Default The South and the Republicans

    Too many conservative senators like Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) are to blame for the GOP's downfall, one of their retiring Republican colleagues complained Monday.

    "We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns," Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) told the Columbus Dispatch. "It's the southerners."

    Voinovich, a native Clevelander who retires after the 2010 election, continued after the southern elements of the GOP.

    "They get on TV and go 'errrr, errrrr,'" he said. "People hear them and say, 'These people, they're southerners. The party's being taken over by southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?'"

    More...
    This left me speechless.. nearly. You know what I have to say to Voinovich? Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Errr, errr.
    There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

    None of them understand what it means to be a Senator anymore anyway. It's a bunch of playground assgrabbery now a days.

    Jim DeMint brought RP's HR1207 Audit the Fed bill to the Senate though, so I like him.

    The problem with republicans is that they are stubborn, angry and afraid. I feel sorry for them actually. Democrats are really cool people and I would encourage all republicans to get to know a democrat and have a beer.

    PS. I wont tell your wife or otherwise disclose the encounter. Unless it suits my political aims.

    Democrats are not terrorists, communists, or the boogeyman. They have hot chicks, like to party, want to include everyone and are not at all ashamed of it.

    I am not a spokesperson for the democratic party btw. Just a normal person.

    Democrats are nice people. Pathologically. Like Paladins who run into a Elder Black Dragon Maw to cleanse it of evil.

    And fwiw, Libertarians have the best parties. Hippy chicks don't shave.
