Can the RNC get any more pathetic?
My sentiments exactly.
This coming from a lifelong conservative and Republican (now 45 years old). As a conservative, I believe in smaller government, fiscal responsibilty, individual freedom, and the US Constitution. Oh wait a minute, I guess I was confused, I naively thought that once George W. Bush was elected in 2000 with a majority in both the House and the Senate, we could have the conservative ideals put in place. Much to my chagrin, George W Bush and the Republicans in Congress have redifined the Republican Party to be the party of larger government, fiscal irresponsiblity, less individual freedom as well as to ignore the Constitution whenever they feel like it. Oh and lets add incompetence also...
As a conservative (I no longer consider myself a Republican, because the Party has abandoned all conservative principles) I am appalled at what Bush and the Republican members of Congress have done.
What I don't understand is Republicans that continually defend Bush - such as Rush Limbaugh (over inflated egotistical windbag - even when I happen to agree with him in principle on many issues). My parents are both Rush Ditto heads that agree with anything he says... George W. Bush and the Republicans that supported him (Tom Delay and his ilk) are NOT conservatives! They are a bunch of power hungry A-holes that spent money once they were in power like drunken sailors (my sincere apologies to any drunken sailors reading this - I really don't want tarnish your upstanding reputation by associating you with George W. Bush and his Republican supporters.) The party of fiscal responsibility doubled the national debt from 2000 to 2008 from about $5 TRILLION to 10 or 11 TRILLION, while we have Cheney saying that deficits don't matter... The party that once believed in individual liberty gave us warrantless wiretapping, detention of U.S. citizens without due process, abandonment of the Geneva Convention, torture, the creation of a whole new department (homeland security) with basically unlimited powers, etc. Also setting the precedent that the President can ignore any part of the Constitution or laws that he feels lilke.
The Republicans have ZERO credibility now complaining about Obama's budget as fiscally irresponsible. They pretty much have zero crediblity talking about anything. Is Obama a disaster? - Yes, of course he is, but George W. Bush basically GUARANTEED that Obama (or Hillary) would be elected president - Thank you George W. Bush... Heck of a job...
Bush has been a disaster as a president and a disaster for the Republican party - The faction of the Republican party that still supports him thinking we just didn't convey our message effectively is beyond crazy...
wow thats so close word for word what i sent them! here is the text of my message:
What can you do? As a life long republican you can start by acting like republicans! While that turd Bush was president congressional republicans spent money like drunken sailors on port call. The dems have had spend alot more just to keep looking like dems! My local congressman, Connie Mack IV or whatever his highnesses title is, sponsored the amnesty bill a couple of years ago. I haven't voted for that piece of crap since. Then there was the total lack of leadership and progress during bush's term. Once you idiots forced out Newt it was over. Now, after loosing your asses in the last two election cycles, who do you elect as your chairman, Michael Steele, another anti gun politician and Rino. I mean seriously, did any of you actually think John Mcain, a dried up old lizard of a RINO, was going to win? I mean think about it. Obama doesn't have the qualifications to run a popsicle stand, but you guys made sure he'd win by running the worst possible candidate against him. Newsflash just in: In every single presidential election in history, the candidate who appears younger and more energetic wins. DUH.
Oh and the Patriot act. yeah nice job guys, until then we all thought it was the dems who were the fascists, only to find out it was you too!
Here is what you can do. Act like republicans. Run good young candidates who stick to real conservative values of personal responsibility, fiscal responsibility, biblical values, and protect individual freedoms. Which, of course, you haven't done at all in the last 5 years.
