Impolite To Ask Why Republicans Are Mute Regarding Obama's Picks?

[Modbert]

So what this anointed Centrist is delcaring is that she is in possession of direct and specific evidence which validates this soon to be discredited position.

Editec, this is a direct and unambiguous challenge to YOU to post the evidence wherein you'll show that the GOP on this board has expressed a DESIRE TO SEE Hesitant-Elect Hussein FAIL; this evidence will NOT be accepted where it posts positions indicating that the certain leftist policy to be implemented WILL FAIL... the ONLY evidence which will be accepted is that wherein the CONSERVATIVE expressed a position HOPING TO WITNESS Hesitant-elect Hussein to FAIL.

Now what we can be certain of is that no supporting evidence will be forthcoming, whereupon the Centrist will concede by default.

I know I'm not Editec but I found this interesting:

Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails

Republicans need to focus on brand rebuilding, stop hoping Obama fails - Opinion

HOPE FOR OBAMA'S SUCCESS (NOT)

(Funny enough, this is very similar to the Crazy Republican post earlier)

The republicans are probably doing the same thing - when the dems pass their stuff, the country will pull out of some of the mess, get on track, and then the repubs will be able to get attention on issues like taxation again. Right now nothing they stand for can get any traction, just like a few years ago when people rated terror as their top priority, the dems couldn't get traction.

Yeah, I think that's likely, too.

Assuming that the whole tittering economic system doesn't go China on us, once the eeconomy goes back to something approaching normal, people will start responding to the Republican mantras again.

But as long as hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs and their lives, I think the Dems, who are always willing to put us into huge debts to feed us just enough crumbs to keep us alive, will hold sway over the electorate.

Delay... is an American hero and the political hatchet job from was expected and frankly given the circumstances Delay came out smelling like a rose. I embrace Tom Delay and everything he did for America, INCLUDING redistricting Texas to make it more difficult for leftist to subvert the nations security by electing subversives in Texas to congress.
Libby... what a joke. He didn't out anyone and there isn't a human being on this earth that could have sustained themselves from those charges. If I asked you about comments you made 3 years ago, I could convict you of lying based upon your testimoney. In effect Libby was convicted in semantics and his conviction didn't embarass the GOP and it sure as HELL didn't embarass Conservatives...

Stevens is guilty of being a long sitting Senator. Take the names of every Senator which has served for more than 20 years, stick labels with their names on a dart board and toss a dart... make the same investigation as Stevens was subjected to and BINGO... you'll have yourself another conviction. Stevens conviction should embarrass us all... he's a tainted, corupt politician, the taint of which hardly reflects anyworse on the GOP than it does Independents and Democrats and that goes double for Abramoff... He was tied to just as many Democrats, Harry reid and Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, just to name a few... and is an embarassment to the whole of the nation.

109th Congress = The Do Nothing Congress.

They were only in session for 103 days.

Starting in 2001, Tom DeLay's wife, Christine and his daughter Danielle were paid a total of $473,801 for work on both his campaign and his political action committee.

Christine DeLay was also paid $3,200 per month for three years by the Alexander Strategy Group, the lobbying firm of Edward Buckham, DeLay's former chief of staff. Buckham allegedly worked closely with Jack Abrhamoff, the convicted lobbyist, on behalf of Russian oil and gas interests who wanted DeLay's support on specific legislation.

The total she earned from Buckham is estimated at roughly $115,000.

ARMPAC or Americans for a Republican Majority paid DeLay's wife and daughter - and his daughter's texas business - $350,304.

His brother Randolf lobbied for Reliant Energy.

Delay got $1,322,906 in Lobbyist donations before he left.



Ted Stevens wife, Catherine Stevens, is a lobbyist for Mayer, Brown, Rowe, & Maw. Stevens tried to save a $450 million defense contract for a local businessman who had previously been his partner in a lucrative real estate deal.

Ted Stevens received $633,120 from Lobbyists in the form of campaign contributions.

Stevens claims to be against Big Government but received $325 million in earmarks in the 2006 appropriations cycle which works out to more than $500 for each man, woman, and child in Alaska.

Stevens makes sure that tax money goes to such worthy projects though:

$25,000,000 for rural and native villages.
$1,300,000 for berry research
$1,099,000 for alternative salmon products
$500,000 for fruit and berry crop trials.



But hey, keep trying to place blame away from Republicans and actually try to place it on Democrats and Americans for what the REPUBLICAN CONGRESSPEOPLE did.

Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA) wife Julie Doolittle got paid more then $160,000 from Rep. Doolittle's leadership PAC starting in 2003. She takes a 15% commission from the PAC contributions she raises.

She was also hired to do charitable fund-raising by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his firm Greenberg Traurig.

robert, yoiu are fucking retarded

none of that provesd anything you are trying to claim
btw, we are talking FISCAL policies, not campaign contributions, so do try to stay on topic although i know that is hard for you to do

So angry you cannot even type correctly.

Then you cry in your neg rep to me.

We are talking about GREED, if you haven't noticed.

You haven't talked about fiscal policies as far as I can see.

So please, keep on crying. I could use some amusement.

By the way, using words like "retarded"? I can see you don't care whom you insult. Though for the record, I have an IQ well over 70 thanks.

 

[Modbert]

And of course from earlier:

see, THIS post DESERVES a neg rep for being so fucking moronic

but bobby will cry like a baby if you give him neg rep and he will retaliate and neg rep you on a post that doesnt deserve it

Well lets see, I'm laughing at you. And I haven't negged you back, in fact I never neg you back. Despite the fact you've negged me at least 5 times.

I think you're describing yourself more then anyone.
