Gnewt's Serial Hypocrisy - brought to you by Ron Paul

 

Tea Party Downgrade has spread to the GOP.

The Tea Party is poison to everything it touches - and now the Tea Party Downgrade has spread to the GOP. 

From the FrumForum by David Frum:  "Republican favorability has dropped 7 points with the general public since September 2010, with the steepest portion of the drop occuring during the debt-ceiling debate last summer.

But in congressional districts where the tea party is strong, Republican support has dropped further, by 10 points.

And while overall GOP numbers are stronger in those tea party districts, even there, the unfavorables are higher than the favorables, 48 unfavorable to 41 favorable."

 

Tea Party Smacked Down for Breaking Congressional Rules.

FreedomWorks with the help of a Republican senator tried to put on a passion play about the national debt. FreedomWorks - tried to take advantage of the Koch Brothers Congressional Timeshare apparently - putting on a b.s. version of a debt committee and promoted it as a "Joint House Senate Hearing" when it was ony a Koch Brothers production by FreedomWorks.  Appropriately humiliated Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) protested for naught about his "Tea Party Debt Commission" being booted out on their well padded asses. 

Newt Gets Newtered!!!

Newt Gingrich and his group received $37 million from healthcare industry entities over a 8 year period.  Almost $5 million per year.  What does Newt offer in return?  Whatever he might offer, let us hope he doesn't get the chance to sell it from the Oval Office.   And those entities are the very entities the Republicans have fought tooth and nail to maintain their status.

From the Washington Post:  "A think tank founded by GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich collected at least $37 million over the past eight years from major health-care companies and industry groups, offering special access to the former House speaker and other perks, according to records and interviews."

Back to the Future -Democrats Come Back from 2010 to Stop the Tea Party's March to Decline

Democrats are filing to run in the 2012 Congressional Elections in droves -- and they plan to win!  More than a dozen Democrats who lost by thin margins in 2010 are looking for a rematch.  They know that 2010 was lightning in a bottle for the Tea Party and the Republicans - and they will never repeat that again.  The Tea Party failure, the Republican impotence, has been on display for a year. Too, Americans are beginning to recognize that the Republicans are intentionally destroying the economy with one goal in mind - the destruction of the Obama Presidency. And there's a whole year ahead of the 2012 election - plenty of time to WAKE UP, AMERICA!!

The Tea Party Downgrade Spreads to Mainstream America

The Great Recession cum Great Depression II a/k/a the George W. Bush Effect. Americans continue to suffer, income is down, deprivation and poverty are up.  Yet there remain some who might vote Republican this year and next?  The decline of the Roman Empire was somewhat attributed to lead tainted drinking cups.  The decline of America can be largely attributed to the stupid who think tea means something.

The GOP Clown Car Visited Orlando Last NIght -- and It Was a HOOOWWWLL!!

Rick Perry fast fades and Michele Bachmann is kicked to the curb. The GOP is going to go with this year's runner up, Mitt Romney, so he can be next year's runner up.

Haven't Republicans Done Quite Enough?

Republicans and tea partiers lament our current fiscal catastrophe and note their frustration at what they might do about those issues. But Republicans and conservatives have done a lot!

By January 2009 conservatives, Goober W and Republican failed fiscal policies had delivered 7.8 percent unemployment, a 6500 point stock market, a CBO projected (on 1/8/2009) fy 2009 $1.2 trillion deficit (that means they added $6.5 trillion to the national debt 2001-fy 2009); the greatest drop in tax revenue since the Great Depression; failed banks and manufacturing; decimation of the housing market and record foreclosures — and they even managed to lend $9 trillion to the very Wall Street entities that helped in creating the disaster. Republicans have done quite enough.

Barack Obama has Defeated the Republican Idiocracy

The economy is in the tank, the market is crashing, unemployment at a 14 year high, the auto industry in ruins, a trillion dollar deficit this year and likely the next because of Bush's malfeasance.  Can America recover?  Even more of a mystery, is George W. Bush on our side or the enemies? And if he is on our side, can we exchange him for 1/2 a barrel of oil and some falafel?

Eight long years, a long national nightmare, is about to come to an end.  The Republican Idiocracy seemed intent upon bringing America to her knees even more enthusiastically than bin Laden. I can only hope that this new president, Barack Obama, who is so impressive and intelligent, can bring about a reversal of our ill fortune brought to us and sponsored by the right wing and the Republicans.

Idiocracy is about to end, the sooner the better.  See below an example of Republican leadership.

Idiocracy Illustrated - Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent

 

Sarah Palin was  more than a Hail Mary Pass on the part of John McCain, it was pandering on a grand scale.  Only someone intent upon leading an idiocracy would believe women would switch from Hillary Clinton to Sarah Palin solely because of gender.  It was your policies, stupid.  What it comes down to is that this was a political campaign, not the Barnum and Bailey Circus.  There's a sucker born every minute - and choosing Palin was a sucker bet.
