GOP sure gets dumber by the moment

[Gadawg73]

Now no doubt the Democrats bring back the GLBTG workplace law from 1996 as a stab at Republicans in the House but it passed in the Senate with 10 Republicans voting for it and another 2 dozen wishing they could vote for it as their states are still gay boogeyman states. And the prior "It will bring massive lawsuits" has now been proven a farce as Orrin Hatch first started that and has now retracted that and voted for the bill. In the House it will not come up for a vote and they will be slammed in the mid terms because of it. Boehner keeps to the "frivolous litigation and will cost American jobs" BS. This will send the GOP further down the deep hole they are already in. Reid allowed religious exemptions and US military.
Having voted Republican most of the time over the last 40 years I see this as the path to no where again for the GOP.
They are more interested in pleasing the religious right than winning elections.
Only a big tent Republican party wins. The bull shit "well, we need to stick to our strict conservative base" is great but it loses elections.
How much dumber can they get?

How much dumber can they get?

They could begin to behave like Democrats.

 

[JakeStarkey]

GaDawg73 has a legitimate beef about this.

They are behaving like Democrats.
Just the other end of the spectrum.

what the hell does it have to with their strict conservative base
Maybe they are just STICKING to their principals?, or they should give up that too so they buy votes like the Democrats all over people (homosexuals) who are now more special than others in this country evidently..
why have two parties. just go to one rule party and government...the hell with it all

 

[JakeStarkey]

The thuggistic TeaPoCrap Party of the far right is not the Republican Party.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yup......we've been warning you idiots about this for years......and we're the dumb ones.

 

[JakeStarkey]

. . . because the mainstream Republican Party has, but never will again, given far too much weight to the far right.

I believe you meant principles.
First you have to show where anything in the bill mandates by statute that homosexuals "are more special than others in this country"
But keep up the gay boogeyman show as you must get off on getting your ass kicked every election.
I want to win for fiscal conservatism.
You are stuck on stupid making the gay boogeyman issue a priority in elections.
At best, what is it on your list of priorities?
137th or 138th?
I would rather us focus on the other 136 in front of it than spend one second attempting to leave gay folks out of equal rights in the workplace.
Tired of losing because of fuddy duddy busy body mother hen know it alls scared of gay people getting equal rights.

The "strict conservative base" under Barry Goldwater stuck up their middle finger and publicly said "FUCK YOU" to the religious right.
Back when Republicans had balls.
They are now a bunch of milk weak pussies waving Bibles around.

 

[Vox]

Gadawg73, you seriously do not understand why this non-issue miraculously appeared right now?

seriously?

 

[percysunshine]

'GOP sure gets dumber by the moment '

How else can they catch up with the Democrats? It is a race to the bottom being won by the fleetest of feet.

if Republicans have balls they should show the middle finger FUCK YOU to this non-issue Senate bill and get to the real issues on a table.

Boehner should just play Harry Reid.

without ANY comment, or use Gingrich method

it will sure as hell be dumb if they take this bait.

put in in the drawer - for better times.

we have more important problems to solve.

seriously?

You seriously need to read my first sentence.
POLITICS is what brought it back and it is a way to take another jab at the GOP as they know the gay boogeyman issue is alive still there.

 

[Dot Com]

Hatch made it through his tea party primary challenge so he's not afraid of blow back at the moment.

Again, if the Plutocrats didn't try to fool the dumb, bible thumping Christians into thinking they were working for their limited world view, they wouldn't get any votes.

The Religious Right is all that keeps the GOP alive.

If they ran on, "The Rich are being taken care of and suck it Peasents", they'd get about 20% of the vote.

Seems to me the Tea Party is making two mistakes right now:

First, they're too easily sucked into the echo chamber that so damaged them in 2012, all of them sounding exactly like Levin and Hannity and Limbaugh, 100% purist 100% of the time, which simply turns people who might vote for them off. They can "stick to their principles" all they want, but they're going to be doing it while not in power. If that's okay with them, fine.

Second, the notion of getting elected, proving themselves, and then slowly moving to the right is evidently absolutely foreign to them, even though that's the tactic that the Democrats have taken for freakin' decades. Why in the world is this so difficult for them to grasp? I don't know if they really don't see this or are just too full of themselves to admit it.

100% purist makes for great talk radio screamers and bumper stickers, but it will not win elections. If you don't want to win, you certainly have the formula down, that's for sure.

Yes, I know, no one asked.

The Religious Right is more of a drag than an asset.

Now that you mention it, if the Dems didn't have the media propping their incompetent asses up they wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
