This, only a couple week after the Texas Republicans got caught selling buttons that read, "If Obama is elected president…will we still call it the White House?"
And the same week wingnuts are haling Jesse Helms as the greatest conservative hero of the century.
They just can’t help themselves. Expect lots more before November.

Gas Pump Blogging:

(Warning: Graphic)
This sort of thing seems to be all they have and it probably will backfire on them. It is just too ugly for most folks.
I’m sure it was just a “joke,” just like McCain’s cigarettes-killing-Iranians “joke” and I’m sure they will tell us that we have no sense of humor because we don’t see the joke.
They will not be asked to explain what the joke is, or why it’s funny.
Obama loves America like he loved the Bill of Rights.
brilliant.
I just downloaded the pdf. I am going to put those on gas pumps all over town tonight.
Why is it with Republicans, the “jokes” always involve someone dying?
Hey Rethugs, here’s a real joke:
A guy walks into a bar with a frog on his head.
Bartender says, “Well, there’s something you don’t see every day.”
Frog says, “Yeah, it started as a wart on my butt.”
See? It’s funny, and nobody died!
I know, I know – you don’t get it…

Awesome. I certainly hope that Blue Texan isn’t hoping to drum up support for Mr. “I Said I’d Filibuster Oops I Lied” with this post.
I don’t BLAME Obama for what’s gone down (that’s more Steny Hoyer and the Blue Dogs’ fault), but he didn’t do shit to stop it and he broke explicit promises.
Maybe he should change his name to Barack Oclinton. Al I know is I feel like I’m wearing a blue dress.
Hey don’t worry you are just CALLING IT AS It Is!! This country is no longer o country of the people for the people by the people… Hello Soviet Union!!!
repubbles are shooting themselves in the foot with this trash-talk.
teh stoopid.
Busted, I know you’re pissed so am I. I just wanted you to know I read your cat post on your blog this morning and I laughed my ass off. I really needed that laugh.
stay classy indeed -
I posted the thinkprogress link over in
fanatasylandmybarackobama dot com – I have zero use for his fans at the moment but they are passionate about defending him and expect a couple hundred of ‘em to make these racist gits lives miserable for a while :Dgood on ya. we gots lots of aisles to reach across.
that beats surrendering to these nutcases.
As Norske says “surrender is not an option.”
I will never give up on my country. We are in a struggle now and may be for a while but I do think that things are going to change and rather rapidly. The public is pretty fed up and things are only getting worse….gas prices, food prices, etc. Maybe we just need to touch bottom before the entire population wakes up and then it will be all over for the elite in congress. They should be very alarmed but they’re not that smart.
remember the soviets said they’d bury us….. tho it looks more like china will….. jus sayin
I’m goin’ with this
True enough.
But it does remind me of this Pew focus group of Pennylsvania voters I was watching on Cspan a couple weeks ago. Everyone in the group was white, and there was one woman who kept insisting she was undecided, but everything she said pointed to a powerful dislike of Obama and blacks in general. The moderator pressed her, “So you’re undecided. What WOULD it take for you do vote for Obama?” She hemmed and hawed for awhile and finally said, “Well, we’ve only had white presidents up to this point, and they’ve done a lot for the blacks. So maybe if Obama became president he would do something for the whites.”
Another person in the group suggested that we probably weren’t ready for a black president, and wouldn’t be for another generation or two. But by the time his little grandkids were old enough to vote, maybe. Perhaps. No guarantee.
Exactly.
And Barrack…Barry….if you were on fire dude, cracklin’ away an’ all, I would not piss on ya.
Useless git.
This would be a very bad time to check my blood pressure. The cloture vote is underway. We only need 40 no votes. We won’t get them. All we need is for everyone who voted for the Bingaman amendment to vote no, but they won’t all do it. This is the moment our country has formally abandoned the rule of law.
I saw that. Turned it off after one of the Obama supporters started talking about him as a unitary executive.
I saw that panel.
A democratic train-wreck.
Couldn’t help but wonder about the guy who noted that if Obama were elected, “whites” may suddenly become second-class citizens…
In the words of KV, “What a planet!”
There are plenty of the closet racists but I do believe that even some of them will feel somewhat icky about things like that ad. The repubs always go just a little too far – can’t seem to help themselves.
cbl2 @17:
that. is. AWESOME.
do you have a large copy? I have a bunch of fools to send it to, including myself. I got hope-a-doped as well.
I won’t give up on my country. The Constitution stands.
Where do we go from here? How do we educate the media-manipulated public with information that they will believe?
Oh, and vote every one of the bums that are responsible for this debacle the heck out of office for starters. Every one of them.
Reverse the coup.
I had the extreme pleasure of reading Pat Buchanan’s OpEd yesterday in my local paper, SF ‘Fishwrap’ Chronicle. What a thrill it was to see this half-dead fossil go on at length about Senator ‘SnakeOil’’s numerous flip-flops. I want to thank the Dead Loser Caucus for appointing the ‘Democrat’ party a pathetic loser of a candidate so bad, so inept, so foot-stuck-in-his-big-fat-Mouth that even somebody as past it as Pat can kick him repeatedly about ’stuff’ that Barry has totally…..
….fucked up.
Thanks Howard, thanks Donna, thanks to all the Obots and the ‘Boyz in the Blogz’. Five more months of ReThugs educating America on just what a empty suit Barry is…..
Thanks.
It’s flatly time for the Dems to take off the gloves. We need to run ads in every Blue Dog district stressing that their congress-person voted with Bush ____ number of times with a direct result of money out of their pockets. People who are hurting in the money department will certainly get that message.
make your own (large or small) here
I guess that, as of today, the government officially fits the definition of fascist – corporate run government. Hitler and Mossolini would be proud of Prescott Bush’s heirs and their minions.
Bushco can celebrate mission almost accomplished.
The only good thing is that when a revolution is complete…the next one starts..
Yup.
Good one Freeway blogger.
Obama – aye
thanks for this Blue Texan !
When my exiled Hungarian friend told me that 20 something years ago, while her country was still under communist rule, I sort of thought…wishful thinking….well, things did turn, the communist rule fell, and she lives there now. So, I am hopeful. Things have to get bad enough…just like for an addict, before things change. We’re not there quite yet..
Kerry – No
Obama aye. Has Clinton voted?
Kerry-no.
ObamaWhitehouse, aye.
cloture
whitehouse, webb: aye
leahy, brown: no
few things in life are certain, they say. Death, taxes, that Republicans will vote in an unbreakable bloc, and that some Democrats will always cave to the slightest pressure.
hillary, biden – aye
Biden and Webb, aye.
Clinton – aye
Biden – aye
wtf?
Byrd – no
Leahy – no
Dodd – no
McCaskill– ayeClinton– AyeBiden– AyeLieberman– AyeLevin – no
Lautenberg – no
Landrieu– AyeI’m sick to death of Ms. Landreau.
I’m still trying to figure out where the pressure is coming from. A lousy prez with about 23% approval, probably little or no pressure from the home districts because I don’t know most people are keeping up with this, and I don’t get it at all.
Landrieu – aye, followed by a quick,lonely scamper out the door.
landreau – aye
the next person who explains landreau’s votes by saying she’s in a “tough spot” can kiss my ass
this Obama / OJ thing is yet another example of republican ethical limbo: “how low can you go?”
Clinton….NO!!!
Hillary changed to “no”
hillary changed vote to no
Clinton….NO!!!
She did the math first.
