    I vote hooray for bringing back the Bug Killer! He is EXACTLY the right person for that job to show the nation what assholes the GOPers are.

    You go, Tommy Bug Man!

    They miss the money and the opportunity at the young pages, the escort services, the expensive dinners thanks to their lobbyist buddies, the trips to play golf in Scotland, their antique commodes, limos, secret handshakes and most of all kicking the crap out of everyone who they deem to be of no significance.

    That's Johnny "Cry Baby" Boehner!

    If they don't like the fact that their numbers are being decimated, that Obama will be elected president and kick ass when he gets to the WH and makes CHANGES in the way DC has been operating...well, they can all go to Texas and join DeCay's corpse in his hot tub...we'd be glad to get rid of the lot of them. None of them deserve to stay in DC after what they've done to this country.

    shouldn't that be "mi$$ Jack Abramoff?"

    so, Republicans are more comfortable with conflict and dictatorial powers than with consensus and democratic action?
    who woulda thunk it?

    we need fewer Republicans and more republicans.

    Yeah, DeLay got some things done.

    Like helping Bush run up a deficit and start a phony war, stripping Veterans of health care, jamming through an antibankruptcy bill that caused people to lose their homes.

    God, I hate Repubs.

    That is just sick. I always felt Delay was the sleaziest and most corrupt little worm ever. I hated him more than I did Rove. The sheer stench of the man was enough to taint everything in that body and he brought total shame to congress.

    Well, I guess what they say is true: Congress de-Delayed is Congress de-Boehnered.
    (One less dick anyway.)

    Well, that's the thing with Republicans -- when you take away the criminals and the corruption, there's nothing there.

    Seems to me the Republicans have a problem when they don't have a strong authoritarian in charge. It's part if their mindset. They view any compromise or bipartisan gesture as weakness.

    They've had their switches stuck in the attack mode position for so long, they just don't know of any other way to achieve their goals.

    The remind me of some of the Russians who were pining to bring back the Communists when they were transitioning to a market economy.

    If any Republicans are too stupid to see that people like DeLay are the main reason they're now in this mess, then they deserve what they get this fall.

    Karl Rove is called a "political wizard". However, Senator Obama will expose Rove and the GOP as Wizards (as in Oz) --illusionary figures masquerading behind a curtain of Deceit! The Republican Pretenders are skilled in rituals of smoke & mirrors - Experts in Demonizing and Belittling thier opponents through cleverly manipulated words used to smear and distort. We, the American people, are tired of their trickery's and lies based on illusionary fear-mongering and not fact, and like the Wizard of Oz, when the curtain is pulled back by "the light of truth", they will be exposed as the fakers and the pretenders that they are -- with loud, silver-tounged voices filled with vinegar and no Real solutions -- pulling strings of "make believe" to coverup their own innate weakness and Experienced villainy, an In-Experience and Naivite that Barack lacks, Barack's saving grace! This unveiling will enable us to finally get off this merry-go-round -- this "yellow-brick-road" of illusion and deceit perpetrated upon the American public by these ShapeShifters and Betrayers of the Public Good.

    This massed negativity has been a real detriment to American economic progress and peace in Iraq. Such pretenders and shapeshifters are like a millstone around the neck of humanity, crippling true effort. They proclaim Family Values, yet do nothing but impede true progress while the American way-of-life is dying. Any bills offered by Democrats which will benefit the American families, the GOP votes NO! This massed, organized negativity has been what has enabled them to work so ruthlessly with power and success at the destruction of all that has attempted to get in the way of their projects, desires and greed. They refuse to recognize that humanity can solve its problems without aggression and force and instead use the energy of goodwill and diplomacy, sharing and cooperation.

    If you disagree with the Pretenders' politics, however, (I do not say policies for they lack true policies) in unison they attack by subterfuge, distortion and lies to disquise their true intent --the control of money and power for the GOP family only (so much for family values). Masters in fear mongering and shapeshifting, they hope to incite fear in an unsuspecting and gullible American public and to get them to embrace thier plans out of fear and against their own common sense and good judgment! Only this time, we will dispell this Illusion and not be fooled again by these "fakers, con-artists and Pretenders", and our united House, born out of need and true change, will withstand the onslaught of this False, now Fleeting Wind that has devastated the American way of life, no more; their House of Cards are Falling!
