Complaints About the Republican Party IV

[the4thpip]

I may have included Zell Miller, formerly from Georgia, but he's out of politics now (also one of our exclusion parameters).

Also, he was a "Democrat."

Lol she is crazy although her comments on goldman Sachs are not all that absurd. The banksters do have too much power and the only way to bring them in line is to start tossing them in jail.

[worstblogever]

Also, he was a "Democrat."

Huh. Must be Georgia, then.

Seriously, I never get tired of seeing him lament not being able to challenge Chris Matthews to a duel like the good old days, like he did back in 2004.

How this for timing.

My 92 year-old great-aunt stayed up until 5 AM the night of the election, just to see if Bachmann was defeated. She was disappointed that Bachmann won, but happy to see Obama re-elected.

Do two failed primary campaigns really put Orly "in" politics?

She started a whole movement.

Then again, so do I after I have too much fiber.

It's borderline, but I think it's fair. After all, the list already includes David Barton and Tony Perkins (who've never run for office at all), Christine O'Donnell (who's never held office), and Herman Cain (who, like Orly, has two failed primary campaigns).

[ButterRum]

Orly is her real name? HAHAHAHA! That's great.

[Paradox]

GozertheGozarian says get the hell out of my courtroom:

How this for timing.

Really, Orly, I hear they're doing wonderful things these days with brain chemistry drugs. You should really look into it, because no one's trying to persecute or intimidate you. It's only you trying to persecute and intimidate the President (and horribly ineffectually, too).

Tony Perkins was a Louisiana congressman for eight years.

*double post*

My mistake, then. worstblogever's write-up on him described him as a party activist, and didn't mention him ever holding or running for office.

I included Perkins mostly because of his helping write the 2012 GOP platform. Same with Barton. Perkins' time in office in LA was his service, I was considering Barton's time serving as vice-chairman of the Texas GOP pushed him onto the list. Thought that qualified him as more than a pundit.

Anyone see the tax plan the Republicans offered? It was ridiculous. They want to lower the tax rates for the wealthy. I know it's posturing but come on peoples. That's just dumb. I'll try to post the link.
