Just how desperate for a message that resonates with anyone are the Republicans. Their top spokespeople are Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. How pathetic are they when the two most influential people in their Party are these two clowns? I know Bush sucked and probably still does, but he was president for eight years. Has he sunk so low that even his fellow Republicans would rather follow a lard ass and a skank?
Poor Michael Steele. Republican spinmeisters keep giving him the same tired old right wing catch phrases. Try something different for a Republican Mike. The Truth.
The talking point of the week for Republicans is "It's FDR's fault."
Millions of people thank God every day for The New Deal and the safety net Social Security provides. I guess Republicans think destitute old and disabled people is somehow more American.
Despite their foolish efforts, Republicans are soon to go the way of the dinosaur. The only thing they have going for them is the ability to revise history to suit their deluded beliefs. I suggest they put this to good use and at least save themselves embarrassing chapters in history books. While you guys still can, have all books and records purged of anything relating to all Republican presidents back to Nixon. That way the last Republican we will have to remember is Eisenhower. Everyone liked Ike. Well, except for Adlai Stevenson.

THE PARTY OF REAGAN WILL SOON BE JOINING HIM...
(Back by popular demand)
THE ORACLE WILL NOW SPEAK...
The Republican Party is trying to put on a happy face. They are trying to convince America they are the Party of bipartisan cooperation. They are trying to make Americans believe they really do care about what happens to the middle class. Republican leadership may have fooled a few right wing bloggers and some paid propagandists from FOX News, BUT THEY MOST CERTAINLY HAVE NOT FOOLED THE ORACLE!
The Republican Party is in disarray. Even it's deluded base is seeing it for the backward thinking, intellectually bankrupt organization it has become. The election of 2006 was the beginning of the Republican Party's journey to irrelevance. 2008 saw that journey gain momentum. 2012 shall see the final gasp under Republican presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN...
DOES ANYBODY REALLY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?
The economic situation we find ourselves in is the one time I don't appreciate good irony.
Republican tax cuts led to big deficits. Republican lack of oversite on financial institutions led to the mortgage meltdown. Republican have chanted for as long as I've been alive about less spending. They had Congress and the White House for six years and spent more.
It's time these people just shut the f#ck up because the irony is that the party of less spending and less regulation has brought our Country to a point where the only way to get the economy and financial industry back on track is more spending and more regulation.
Enough with the tax cut bullshit. A federal government that pays for the services it provides in cash will do more for the economy and our security than giving me a $500 check.

LET THE EAGLE SOAR
I am both honored and humbled to announce that Chief Nihilist Repsac has sworn me in as the newest official member of American Nihilist.
It is in keeping with this high honor that I would like to relate a story to you about our National Symbol. The Bald Eagle.
I work next to the Mississippi River. From time to time my duties require me to toil outside in the heat and the cold. Of course the boss picks the coldest day of the week to send me outside to do maintenance on some equipment.
While out there I get the honor of seeing five Bald Eagles soaring gracefully through the air. It almost brought a tear to my eye watching this scene and singing along with former Attorney General John Ashcroft. Then I remembered that Nihilist's eyes don't well up at anything that involves John Ashcroft.
Anyway, one of these Eagles is the biggest Eagle I ever saw. It was more like a condor. This bird was a bad mother too. Never flapped it's wings. Just glided overhead watching things.
I know this bad boy is looking at me with contempt. He's gliding around as cool as could be while I'm freezing my ass off even though I'm wearing a hat. Gloves. Long Johns. Coveralls and the Snuggie I borrowed from my better half. He's up there thinking "You jerkoff two legged chump in your long johns and Snuggie. We don't need no stinkin Snuggies."
Then in the blink of an eye this Eagle swoops down about fifty feet away from me. Grabs this baby groundhog by the head and is back in the air before I can say Jesus Christ!
So let this be a warning to the guy at the F.U. Penguin blog. Don't be dissing no Eagles Brother.

IF THE VICE PRESIDENT DOES IT, THAT MAKES IT LEGAL
Look at this joker. Does he really think he's still fooling anyone but the most deluded right wing fool?
Ever since the 911 Attacks Cheney has been predicting more attacks if We The People don't let him use torture and make a mockery of the Constitution.
He's still at it. But his purpose doesn't have anything to do with saving American asses. He's just in his own twisted way lobbying for the present administration to keep all the warrantless wiretaps and torture systems in place to save his own ass. He figures if the Obama Administration uses the same tactics he did then it will be unable to prosecute him for any transgressions he and his cronies committed.
When it's all said and done, Cheney and Blagojevich can share cell and tell each other tall tales about how they "did nothing wrong."

PAGING DR. HOWARD
Now that Tom Daschle is out, Obama has a chance to really show the Republicans who is boss AND give us Dems something to cheer about.
C'mon Mr. President. Howard Dean would be a fantastic director of Health and Human Services.
Okay. I don't know if he would or not. But damn that would piss off Republicans. And that alone makes it worth it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

PROFILES IN COURAGE?
I posted a comment on Shaw's excellent blog about why Republican Governors are asking their Republican members of Congress to support the stimulus package. Of course they are worried about job losses. But an underlying and kind of scary reason is they lack the courage to do what is necessary to shore up their budgets. Sometimes you gotta suck it up and tell the people we need more money to provide the services government needs to provide. We have to raise taxes.
Not just Republican Governors, Dems also, need to accept this. The credit card is maxed out and there is no way enough could be cut back to stop runaway deficits.
We have lots of history here in Illinois. We had 25 some years of Republican Governors. Each election they said they wouldn't raise taxes. After the election they ll said "Whoa! It's worse than we thought. We need more money. We have to raise taxes." They did and after a few days of grumbling, 11 million people didn't even notice their taxes went up because it was only a few bucks a week for most of us.
Blagojevich came along and promised not to raise taxes. Look how screwed up he left the state. If he doesn't make that stupid promise to win an election he would have won in a landslide anyway, all the programs he wanted would have been funded and he would be a hero. But he chose to be a dick and cut state parks and child care programs that everyone loved more than the few bucks their taxes would have gone up.
The Governors that want he stimulus package need to grow the balls to tell their constituents that their states need more money and we can't wait for the Nation as a whole to buck up and pay their bills.
TAO of Radical Perspective posted a great assessment of the national budget situation. We have to pay the bills now. I know it's popular for politicos to rant on about cuts. Tell the guy with a big pothole in front of his driveway you cut the asphalt budget and he has to buy his own if he wants it fixed. He'll forget all about his taxes going up a few bucks a week then. I could give more examples that would arouse more outrage than a pothole. I'm sure everyone can think of them on their own.
