[2008] Republicans

Carefull there republicans. Wouldn't want your true feels coming out.




GOP issues rules to avoid Macaca moments

The Macaca moment has morphed into an official learning tool for the Republican establishment.

It's right there, on pages 18 and 22 of an Internet guide from the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee that its chairman, Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), hopes will become scripture for the 2008 candidates.

Always assume you're being recorded, and always record your opponent. The blogs -- oh, scratch that -- the Republican blogs are your friends, so use them for rapid response in good times and bad.

"The paradigmatic example of failure to do so is the 'macaca' moment," reads the guidebook (excerpted here), referring to a remark last year by former Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) that was captured on video and sunk his reelection campaign.

And the media practically let Hillary the neo-libcon get away with her lame ethnic joke about Indian run gas station

 

well duh she's a democrat.

 

iraq, and the WOT, was and is a long term project. think North Korea, or occupied Europe. we're there, you have no hair, get used to it.

 

By we you mean the 28% of die hard republicans still in denial?

Yeah, nobody really cares about them.

 

nor do you care about the iraqis, to whom we, as a country, have made a commitment.

 

You don't give a f-k about them either because more often than not you are advocating policies which are either manifestly bad for them or which they detest - so what is your point here?

 

Where's the commitment to the children of Africa dying of AIDS or being gang raped or tortured by ruthless warlords?

3/4 of the world needs our help, including many in our own country

But heck, this military occupation is for the children of Iraq. We need to help them. It's for the children.

 

You don't give a tinker's continental damn about the Iraqis, or you wouldn't be a shill for the man who single handedly created their horrific situation. They are in far worse shape now then they were under Saddam. The country is literally falling to pieces, a civil war is underway, which we, and they, are powerless to stop, tens of thousands are dead and maimed, with no end in sight. There were not terrorists there before Bush's mad adventure, other than Saddam's secret police, but there sure as hell are now, and all you can do is play your silly games, spouting the latest crap from Limbaugh, Fox News, and the other apologists for Bush and the GOP. And when not doing that, you are busy calling the people here who are part of the majority of this country, and want us to get the hell out, unpatriotic and worse.

What a fellow you are.



D&D. Replicant Democrat.

 

i can't believe you wrote that with a straight face. it's like saying, "other than pol pot, the khmer rouge really weren't that bad." just astounding, really, and a fascinating bit of, perhaps unintentional, insight into the liberal mind. i'm officially stunned.

 

basso, Saddam and all his brutality didn't reach as many people as this civil war has.

Nowhere did Deckard say that Saddam wasn't that bad. He said that the civil war and strife is worse for more Iraqis than what they had under Saddam.

 

I know several people who have served in Iraq and the general consensus is that the majority of Iraqis see us as part of the problem and not as the solution. They see us as occupiers.

And yet the arrogance of this administration continues to insist it's "for their own good".

Meanwhile innocent Iraqis and our troops die daily while more insurgents are joining the cause to kill us.

A recipe for success.

 

Well it us not unlike basso's "We had to first bomb the Cambodians in order to not save them from Pol Pot who we did nothing about and hindered those who eventually did" theory that he is fond of citing.

 

If I said what you truly are, officially, I'm sure it wouldn't be considered proper BBS language, even for D&D. You are truly a sick fellow, basso, who willfully disregards the truth, as you willfully distort the posts of others in your "replies," which usually amount to a quote from some obscure blog, along with an insulting dig at someone's patriotism. Go ahead and pretend to believe that this insane war of George W. Bush has been a benefit to the Iraqi people. It's what you do.



D&D. Replicant Democrat.

 

the american people were not told it was a long term project. are you admitting that your precious bush lied to us?

why did rumsfeld tell us "6 days, 6 weeks, i doubt 6 months"? does that sound like a "long term project".

why did ken adleman, rummy's assistant say iraq would be a "cakewalk". sure doesnt sound like he thought it would be a "long term project".

why did the dick say "i think it'll go relatively quickly, ...weeks rather than months"? doesnt sound like he thought it would be a "long term project".

face it basso - like everything about this administration, they are either total liars or totally incompetent, and in either case it is very bad for america. you and bush have been flat out wrong on pretty much everything and the majority of the american people are against you.

how do you like those apples?

 

not to speak for sam, but ive never seen him say that he doesnt care about the iraqis. but i have neo-con boot-licker bill o'reilly say he doesnt care about the iraqis. and really, most of your comments and what you are advocating goes against what the iraqis want, so one might easily deduce that it is you who doesnt care about them.

From the September 25 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: I don't care.

E.D. HILL (co-host): Postwar?

O'REILLY: I don't care what Iraq was, I don't care what it will be. I just don't want them killing anybody or helping Al Qaeda. OK? Couldn't care less about the country. That is the no-spin honesty that you all come to expect from me.

now here is the flop to his flip...

From the January 24, 2005, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: Now, you would think everyone in the world who values freedom would be rooting for the Iraqis to have them, but they are not. Here in the USA, some of the anti-Bush crowd would rather have chaos in Iraq than a victory for the president.

 

Allow me to simplify the presidential race:

 

I'm not sure why I found this shocking but I do.

During the most recent presidential debates, Giuliani said that invading Iraq was “absolutely the right thing to do,” and claimed the war would “help reduce the risk for this country.” Giuliani’s current foreign policy advisers include retired Gen. Jack Keane, the architect of the Iraq escalation, and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton.

WTF, Giulani is an idiot.
