The Republican Party is now officially a national joke. When, in the middle of an economic crisis threatening to be the largest sine the Great Depression, in the middle of two wars, in the middle of a global crisis, you must have Joe the Plumber come to address your Congressional strategy group just to drum up attendance (I hope it is not to have Joe present his legislative strategies), time for a change is long overdue.
Hopefully this can lead to a new party or even a third party! It would be awesome to be alive when a party goes down or a third party emerges.
The republicans are going down the path of the american car manufacturers. Building product for their core customers while totally ignoring what the market dictates.
Damn you rimrocker! That's like the third time in two weeks that I was all set to post something and you beat me by minutes. My thread would have been a called "Joe the GOP Economics Advisor"- a far superior title.
You can't be the party of government is bad when people want government. As layoffs spread, their base will dwindle. Its a cycle, people want government in busts, they want less government in booms.
And TJ should know. He's the master of wrong instincts. TJ, remember that time when you said that there would be this huge story that would blow up President Obama's presidential campaign? Good times.
Seriously though, Joe the plumber? wtf? Next they might ask a no-name idiot governor from Alaska to run as VP. Oh wait. What a joke of a political party. Utter joke.
So a bunch of staffers who meet once a week have the Joe the Plumber as a guest speaker and you somehow define them as a Congressional strategy group? Seriously? And apparently attendance isn't even good at these meetings!
And here it was I thought that it was conservatives always taking shots at the companies that saved the USA.
Yeah that would awesome also but not at the same time. I would prefer 20 years separation. These parties have been around for to long.
The Conservative Working Group was formed in 1974 and is an invitation-only meeting of key conservative lobbyists and political staffers who meet most Tuesday's to plan their strategy in the U.S. Senate - according to sourcewatch.org. It's got douchemonkeys like Paul Weyrich in it, which I guess is something significant among the reactionary crowd.
Apparently you missed the part about "joe the not-really-named-joe-not-really-a-plumber-tax-evader plumber" being utilized to INCREASE attendence. Anyone willingly attending a sam wurzelbacher talk is a ****ing moron. Worse, if you happen to also be aiding in political strategy in the freakin US senate.
That's a ridiculous statement. This is a non-issue. Liberals are getting bored without W in power anymore so they turn to attacking staffers and 20 year old geeks who just moved to DC, who are, no doubt, mostly douchebags (but that's true for staffers of both parties).
