[dandi]

First one I've seen anyway. They didn't even wait for the new guys to get sworn in.

Enjoy:

Was talking to some republican friends last night

these guys are partisan republicans but not teabaggers by any stretch of the imagination. Eastern WA state is pretty red, they're more business man types.


one of the things they both agreed on: they're ****ed.

it was nonstop, "god we're ****ed. we have to produce shit. the leadership are going to **** off wasting time on investigations and cause gridlock. the teabaggers we elected are going to be a national embarrassment."


I mentioned ohio where kasich first thing wants to cancel a railway project that killed jobs and going to gut services and other stuff, all they could do was groan like, "god we're so screwed."

was kinda interesting to hear these guys, even though they voted for dino rossi, flat out admit their party is ****ed in the long run and that they won't be able to produce. I kept hanging bachmann around their neck all night and all they could do was groan and like, "god I wish she would shut the hell up."

they look at a strong DNC leader coming back like dean or feingold as their worst nightmare, forgot we discussed that, like this cycle we had no dem visibility in eastern WA, last cycle they were putting pressure out all over.


this gives me serious hope going into 2012. frankenstein's monster, the tea party, is going to be their undoing in the long run.

mostly because like I said, they know they have to actually produce stuff and no ones going to tolerate rank partisanship except their base. people are going to look at the GOP's freak show as a huge screw up. sorry, had this discussion over beers so kinda coming back.

just a lot discussed but it made waking up with a headache easier because deep down theres a lotta conservatives who are right wing but not teabaggers and don't care about religion or birth certificates who are shitting themselves if rand paul filibusters the debt ceiling, and even they think it'll be 10 years before unemployment gets back down and repubs promised everything and won't be able to deliver.

I also made a point of congradulating them on sarah palin being their 2012 nominee and they know its going to happen. they just kept going over and over, "we are so ****ed."


on edit: oh yeah, eastern WA has a large hispanic population and anyone who's heard of the sharon angle ads were PISSED. we definitely need to be hanging that shit around their necks this coming cycle. the hispanic vote pretty much saved harry reid. a lotta hard working migrants, people with citizenship, born here, with relatives, hispanic business people, look at her as a flat out racist. we need to beat them on the social issues like abortion and make it about racism and scapegoating the hard working hispanic communities across the country.



another edit; they hate eric cantor lol. he's not very popular outside his district, raising his visibility is going to be another liability. he comes off as smarmy and whiney and just recites talking points. like a slimeball. which he is. making him the face of the GOP and mitch mcconnell, with his no chin look and attitude is going to really cut into them. we talked about that also like, their leaders have no charisma. its just kinda funny people who are like, yeah I hate these guys but vote for them.

If the new Republican House starts putting bills out there to help improve the economy and they keep getting bogged down in the Senate or vetoed by The One, who do you think America is going to blame?

Gosh aren`t they cute when they try to pretend the whole country thinks the way they wish it would.

[PatriotGame]

(They agreed with you hoping the sole moonbat at the dinner party would eventually SHUT-THE-****-UP and stop ruining the evening for EVERYONE!)

Hey!!!111

You spend the first 42 years of your life smoking dope and dropping acid and you'll "think" (misnomer) the same way.

We have our first post-election Bouncy and it's an awful one. Not believable, not a single word. Obviously
made-up. Negative-25 bongs.

The DUmmies, Trent Lott, and Lindsay Graham all seem to believe that the tea party cost the GOP the senate.
The truth is, the Tea Party gave the GOP the house and a closed the gap in the senate a little bit.
If establishment republicans were on the ballot the dems would have held the majority because they have nothing different to offer than the dems did and in a lot of cases the dems were talking like they were conservatives.

Sorry DUmmies you can not spin this and be accurate by any means. The Tea Party is why Barry and the gang lost the house Tuesday night.
If they live up to their promises and we will be watching them they will go back in 2012 and I believe we may take the senate and possibly the white house. The tea party may inadvertently save Barry's reelection bid if he is neutered and stopped in his tracks.

I suspect his Republican buddies were just trying to keep his spirits up so he wouldn't cut his own throat.

[Duke Nukum]

I want to buy the rights to this bouncy and shop it around to Sean Penn!

Are you suggesting they are sadists?

First of all DUmmie, if you are going to write your bouncy with quotes, don't make up shit.  They wouldn't have referred to as teabaggers they elected.

[Attero Dominatus]

Hey DUmmies!

We won.

 

[delilahmused]

Hey DUmmies...these were RINO's. We don't want them. Please encourage them to join your side they have more in common with you than they do with us. Oh, and if the Tea Party was so dangerous to the Republicans we wouldn't have one by HUGE margins. The whole country has now seen the true face of liberalism. NO ONE WANTS IT. Suck on that, losers.

5. I think they're right.
   
I don't see much getting done in the next congress. Whatever does get accomplished, Obama can take credit for. He is pretty good at explaining the facts, and anyone looking at the economic figures will be able to pinpoint when the positive trends started after the freefall.

Issa can investigate Obama up the wazoo now, and that will appeal to his base and the far right; but it will alienate the independents. Too much of that, and they lose the house in 2012. I think they will lose the house anyway, especially if they nominate an extreme partisan for president; independents will show up in droves to vote against Palin. If Republicans see the tide turning like that, they could opt to ramp up the investigations in a desperate attempt to dig up dirt on Obama. They would have to make the calculation that turning off moderates but firing up their base is worth it. They do have a solid echo chamber going which will help them.

If they nominate a moderate and don't investigate too much, that would keep a lot of independents. On the downside (for them), that would create a better environment for Obama to make his case. So either way, the 2012 prospects for House and White House are dim. Mostly it depends on their nominee.

Unemployment remains at 10% and the rest of the world is losing faith in the dollar due to the federal reserve pulling more money out of its ass.

Obama really saved the economy!

Don't forget but, for Harry Reid, we would have a world wide depression.

Sounds like a couple of GOPers were screwing with a DUmmie's head, to me.  Good times, good times.

 

[Texacon]

Elections have consequences.  We won.

That's a quote from someone but I can't remember who ..... the name escapes me.

Also, IF this had happened ... who are these friends?  Damn, they must be pretty important to represent ALL conservatives like that.  Were you talking to Rush?  Hannity?  Beck?  Wilkow?  Levin?  Reagan?  Church?  Who?  Come on, tell us!

It will be interesting to see how badly we kalifornians just screwed ourselves.  I think business is going to stampede out of the state and Brown is going to ask for bailout.  When the HOR stops this kalifornia goes bankrupt and pulls the curtain back on the end game of progressiveness.  Illinois might beat us but I doubt it.

Wishful thinking, la-la-land fantasies, and daydreams are very common over there. It's something I was always opposed to and tried to counteract, to no avail. Some of them think they can wish the world into being re-created in their own image with magic fairy dust. How that working out for them?

America isn't left or liberal. It just isn't. Me and everybody on DU can wish it were, but wishing don't make it so.

Actually 40% identify themselves as conservative, 30+ % consider themselves moderate and 20% consider themselves liberal, though liberal is the wrong term for people who want to suppress free speech.

[NHSparky]

What the liberals can't/won't/don't want to figure out is that there IS in fact a significant philosophical difference between the Tea Party conservative and establishment beltway Republicans.

Look no further than the comments of Bohener and Senator McConnell the other day saying they won't put a ban on earmarks.  Really, ****ers?  How the hell did ya'll get so friggin tone deaf?  Most of those close races were close (or not so close) because people RAN on fiscal conservatism, you idiots!
