GOP Prepares For Anal Rape

The big news during this primary season is not Barack Obama, but the shit kicking Republicans have taken in three Congressional districts. Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi have given the GOP a glimpse of the future � and it is one ugly sight for the right wing. In each of these states, a Republican stronghold district was holding a special election because the GOP incumbent retired. And in each district, the Republicans lost to a Democrat. Losing in these areas would be like a Democrat losing in San Francisco. Expect a brutal bloodbath in November.

It�s the perfect storm. Republicans are stuck with the most unpopular president of all time, an unpopular war, a horrible economy and a fired up Democratic base. Many GOP lawmakers are retiring because their orgy days in Congress are over. So far, 30 Republicans lawmakers have retired or won�t seek re-election, compared to only 7 Democrats. Turns out the GOP suddenly found themselves unpopular with lobbyists and voters, alike.

Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert announced his retirement last year and his seat was up for grabs during the March 5th Illinois primary. Republicans spent a massive $1.2 million on a seat that they held for two decades. That amounted to 20% of the Republican Congressional Committee�s total cash on hand � and they were spending it in a district that hadn�t been competitive for decades. In 2004, Bush won the district 55%-44%. This is deep in Republican land.

Yet, local businessman and Democrat Bill Foster won the seat easily, with 53% of the vote. Not a good sign for John McCain, who campaigned and raised money for the Republican loser. And not a good sign for the GOP �Iraq is going super� mantra. Foster is strongly opposed to the war, while the Republican loser kept saying the surge was working. Not so much.

Next up on the Republican shame train was May 5th in Louisiana. Republican Richard Baker retired from Congress after 11 terms. The district he represented had been in GOP control for 33 years and, like Hastert�s seat, was largely a conservative and rural district. Serious Republican country � or it was, anyway.

Republicans also spent heavily in this Louisiana special election, dropping $1 million on radio and TV ads trying to link Democratic candidate Don Cazayoux to Barack Obama (black guy) and Nancy Pelosi (lady). FAIL. Cazayoux squeaked by with a 49% to 46% victory. That is an incredibly pathetic number for a Republican candidate in a conservative district, one that was actually redrawn in 2000 to make it even �more reliably Republican.� Richard Baker had won the previous 2 races with 72% and 83% and in 2004, Bush won with 59% of all votes. Now Republicans aren�t even hitting that all-important 50% number. Welcome to the world of grim.

Finally, on Tuesday night, Democrat Travis Childers easily beat his Republican opponent in a conservative Mississippi district. By �easily,� I mean 54% - 46%. That�s a fucking ridiculous number for a Democrat in a Republican stronghold and means a serious anal rape for the GOP come November.

This was as safe a seat as Republicans have. In 2004, the district voted for Bush by a margin of 62% to 37%. The GOP had a decent candidate named Greg Davis, who didn�t bring any baggage. Trent Lott, Mike Huckabee, Dick Cheney and Haley Barbour all showed up and campaigned with Davis. The Republican Congressional Committee spent $1.3 million, Davis spent over a million and Freedom Watch spent $500,000. And they went as pathetic as possible with their ads.

Black guy, black guy, lady! Oh, my God!

And yet, it resulted in a spectacular Republican FAIL. It is inconceivable that Republicans lost this seat and a harbinger of doom. The GOP can do nothing to stop the brutal devastation heading their way. Well, that�s not true, they can lube up and relax their sphincters. EVERY Republican seat is now officially in play. You will see them attack each other and even their God, George Bush. It only took 8 hours for a Republican House member to take a shot at El Presidente.

Rep. Tom Davis stomped on the concrete floor of the Capitol basement when asked by reporters about Republican fortunes at the moment.

"This is the floor," he said, by way of explanation. "We're below the floor."

Inside the meeting, Davis had just presented his colleagues with what he said was a 20-page memo outlining his prescription for a way out of this mess. He did not offer details to the press, yet did not spare the party and the president scathing criticism in his public comments.

"The president swallows the microphone every time he opens his mouth," Davis said.

Tommy is the representative for the city of Babytown. Here�s a tip, Tommy: For the past eight years, when Bush was putting forth the most retarded policies of all time, you probably shouldn�t have been tickling his balls and taking his load into your mouth. When Americans turned against the war, you probably shouldn�t have done everything in your power to keep it going. When Bush put forth his insane tax cuts during a time of war, you probably shouldn�t have acted like they were the second coming of Jesus. You are spineless, deluded cunts and the suffering coming your way is of your own making.

And just in case you don't get it, here�s where you stand, you ignorant shit beast.

The public believes Democrats are better than Republicans on most important issues by massive margins.

Congressional Republicans can blame Bush all they want, but they are at fault spending the past eight years acting like NAMBLA on a boy fuck-trip to Bangkok. Without a care in the world, they plundered our country and indulged in the most selfish and unethical acts democratically elected officials could. They aren�t even a party anymore. The GOP is a just a brothel, created to service corporate cocks in their angry, wet holes. Let the suffering begin.

Not only are the Democrats NOT reaching out to independents and moderate Republicans, they're making such a show about tearing each other apart they're risking losing a chunk of their own party's vote.

Are you always this wrong? Obama's been grabbing independent votes like crazy and he's running an honest-to-god 50 states strategy, and it's one that the DCCC has been emulating.

Also, only trolls use the (exceptionally loaded) phrase "pro-war on terror". Democrats aren't against the war on terror. They're against a war on terror headed by an incompetent administration.

I am against the "war on terror". It's a ridiculous notion, pandering to people scared of their own shadows and being used to curtail rights and freedoms. Little to none of which is making us any safer.

See above, re: incompetent administration. The terminology is certainly ridiculous, and the implementation has been inept, but I refuse to believe that we can't take steps to mitigate terrorism without sacrificing our civil liberties. It's a false dichotomy perpetrated by an administration that has never really been concerned about serving the people.

Nice to see the ridiculous rhetoric is still a viable substitution for actual intelligent discourse when it comes to politics.

Before you cream yourself in glee you might actually want to spend a minute actually reading Don Cazayoux's political platform. He's FAR from a candidate lefties should be patting themselves on the back as a great upset. He's pro-life, against gun control, pro-war on terror (and from the phrase 'bring our troops home with honor' I suspect pro-Iraq), seemingly pro-Patriot Act and against amnesty for illegal immigrants. All of this would have taken you three minutes to find out ... but no it's way easier just to read "Democrat" and assume this is a massive victory.

What's most distressing is how many Democrats have their heads up their asses. You can't assume that negative views on Iraq will equal a win, if that were true Kerry would have taken the Presidency four years ago when the war was at its most violent and most unpopular. But he didn't, probably for the same reason the Democrats are likely to lose this time too: he assumed he had it locked up and forgot to actually run for President. Not only are the Democrats NOT reaching out to independents and moderate Republicans, they're making such a show about tearing each other apart they're risking losing a chunk of their own party's vote. The dirtiness between Obama and Clinton is making the Dems look ridiculous and turning swing voters off while McCain is smelling like a rose.

One other thing, to everyone who is looking down their nose at West Virginians:

Most of these people have been in grinding poverty for a long time, and are fearful of change because change has not brought them much good so far. A lot of them have worked very hard at pretty brutal jobs (like coal mining) to get what little they may have.

Derision and stereotypes aren't going to help them, but better education and jobs will. Let's try not to reinforce their stereotypes of us, please.

But does that really excuse them from educating themselves at a local library or making a simple Google search to discover the difference between Saddam Hussein and Barack Hussein Obama?

If you don't have any access to the internet, or you're reading at a 5th grade level when you graduate from high school (and that's the average, not the bottom of the class, nevermind the ones who dropped out), there's not a very good chance you're going to be able to do either of those things for yourself.

So, yeah, it does.

It should be noted that West Virginia isn't the lowest performing state on most education measures, and that the above examples don't represent the statewide averages, but rather the reality of life in the areas where the type of ignorance we're talking about is prevalent.

Just because ignorance is prevalent, doesn't mean that the proletariat is stupid... just sayin!

Hopefully, the younger generation, with it's (improved) access to the information age, will be able to break out of this rut.

I really don't want to stereotype the state, so i am speaking from personal experience.

I spent some time there with a girlfriend that had family down there, we went to a Family Reunion right around the summer of 2003. We drove into a town that was basically carved into the side of a mountain.

I felt stupid because when i got there, her family still used an outhouse and the water running into the house was from a well. It reeked of sulfur and wasn't always clear. They had one phone between the three houses that were within a mile of one another and one television from about 1974, that got about 4 channels, not clear either. I was naive enough to believe that in the 2000's that this didn't exist anymore.

The whole time i was down there i was kind of in culture shock. I have four desktop computers and a laptop, cable connections, air cards, cell phones and PDA's are a part of my everyday life, i am a tech geek. I was frowned upon because of my tattoos, asked if i was gay several times and it was just assumed that i worshiped Satan. I mentioned "Bluetooth" and was looked at like i was insane.

They don't worry about college in this little town. They don't worry about anymore education than the "damned Yankee government" requires. I can't tell you the number of times that her grandmother said "I only got a sixth grade education, and i am fine!".

I am pretty sure her grandfather hated me, not for anymore reason than i was from a "big city". The feeling was just about mutual because the word "nigger" poured from his lips ignorantly in just about every sentence he used. They don't do white collar work. They're basically blue collar to the bone and have no desire to change that.

While i am sure things in the bigger cities of West Virginia are different. There are plentiful amounts of people living in the hollers and the hills that are perfectly happy with how they are living life. They're basically cut-off from society and don't care and really have no desire to change. They're family roots run deep, and they stay very close together in their beliefs and keep the family extremely close.

About two weeks after we got back from the Family re-union the girl who grew up there and i was dating, broke up with me because "Her grandparents didn't like me", even though she lives roughly 6 hours away from them, she still held onto the fact that she needed to impress her family with who she was dating. So even though she didn't live there anymore, her ideals still centered around keeping the family happy.

It's a different world in some places, and i am sure that is true in more places than just West Virginia. Change comes very, very slow to places like that.

Just because ignorance is stupid? Or delusion is the apathy of involvemennt?

Anyway, dipshit, I'm not a Democrat. I'm an independent who is able to have the simple understanding that Democrats with a veto less majority is a good thing. I think if your head wasn't crammed up your ass, you'd realize Cazayoux's win was symbolic of something else.

Symbolism? Give me a break. Symbolism is the argument that people use in these kinds of debates when what they want to believe isn't meeting reality.

Frankly, independent or not, I've read several of your political news items and you always seem much more interested in calling people shit heads than you are at saying anything remotely intelligent. Now, before you get ahead of yourself, I think objectivity is overrated people SHOULD express their opinions for what they are, and certainly many people here do enjoy and respond to what you have to say. But that being said, in the quest to get out of this lesser of two evils corrupt partisan system people like you are part of the problem.

You want to know why some people still support Bush after everything that's happened? It's because people don't like being called names and treated like crap. So people like you, rather than provoking thought and dialogue that might actually change some minds, just make everyone more fanatical and push this country further into a system where the moderate and independent voices are lost. YOUR ACTIONS speak louder than what's written on your voter registration card.
