Urantian Sojourn: Is this the graphic that got Reggie Brown booted?

A tactfully cropped version (below) of our Michele Bachmann‘s Wingnut Parade graphic above, showed up in a slide show used by talented Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown. 

 The slide popped up about the time officials at the Republican Leadership Conference cut Brown's mic and escorted him from the stage.

Of course, Urantian Sojourn would  like to think it was their graphic of Bachmann in a giant wingnut hat that sent the GOP censors scurrying and got him yanked. 

One  can never tell what will set the Goppers off. 

It could just as easily have been that little hippy cat in the corner.

Hysterical Raisins takes on the GOP NH debates

Forgive me if I missed some of the visual stuff, because (when) they panned the New Hampshire audience, . . . I was 

temporarily blinded by the glaring whiteness.

The country clubbers fixed the NH debates

The GOP picks plasticman as their candidate

The county club Republicans who run the GOP have picked Mitt Romney as their candidate.

The debates were fixed last night so no one made Mittens look bad.

As the Huffington post reported,

"Mitt Romney waltzed off the stage after his first presidential primary debate here Monday night with the huge red and white target on his back completely untouched . .

Moderator John King asked Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was asked about his criticism just 24 hours earlier of Romney's health care law in Massachusetts which he had called ObamneyCare on "Fox News Sunday . . ."

 John King, the moderator, asked him: .

"Why would you choose those words in the comfort of a Sunday show studio? Your rival is standing right there," King asked.

Pawlenty still declined to engage Romney, who stood one person over to his right. "President Obama is the person I quoted," he said. 'Using the term Obamneycare was a reflection of the president's comments.'"

Watch for quorums and heavy handed GOP primaries in the next 18 months. The GOP has decided Romney is their candidate.

FOD: Republicans Don't Want To Be President

Republicans Don't Want To Be President - watch more funny videos

All of the top Republicans believed to be running for President against Barack Obama in 2012 have all come out and said they won't be running. Here's a few more folks that won't be running for the GOP nomination either.

Some pundits believe that white Republicans don't want to be beaten by a black Democrat. 


Rightardia suggests that if the GOP could field a viable candidate, he or she would be constrained by supply side economics and GOP ideology. 


It would make more sense for a GOP candidate to run after the Democrats fix the US economy. Many think John Huntsman is running for the 2016 election, not the 2012. Huntsman is just trying to get his name known on the street.

Huffington Post: Roper Poll finds GOP enthsuiasm gap for presidential candidtes

 Mayhem plagues the GOP in 2012

A Roper Poll was conducted May 5-9 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It interviewed 1,001 adults nationwide and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

In 2012 candidate perceptions are clearly different  for the GOP.

In May 2007, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found Republicans were generally satisfied with their choices: 68 percent said they were satisfied with "the choice of candidates for the Republican nomination for president" . . .

Today 45 percent now say they're dissatisfied with the GOP candidates who have declared or are serious about running. This is a big jump up from 33 percent two months ago, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.

Just 41 percent are satisfied with the likely Republican field, down from 52 percent.

These polls suggest many Republicans will not show up for the 2012 elections.  Rightardia suspects a traditional country club Republican like Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate, a slap in the face to the fast fading tea party.

A Gallup Poll found that half of Republicans would like to join a new political party. Only one in three Democrats hold similar sentiments.

Repbublicans are magick!

Republicans are magik because they know how to burn a candle at both ends.They also successfully make arguments that don't hold water.

Let me give you some examples. The Great bush recession started in 2007 and recently ended due to the efforts of the Obama administration and Pelosi congress to to stimulate the economy.This approach is hardly revolutionary. Government spending in hard times is a maxim of Keynesian economics.

Of course, in the 2008 election cycle the GOP took the House by making the case that Obama caused the "bad economy."

Rick Scott used the same argument to become governor of Florida. Never mind that the Florida government had been controlled by the GOP for the past 12 years and the conservative "tax cuts" never panned out and led to the closure of schools and the lay offs of police, teachers and fire fighters.

Now Obama has been in office for more than two years and he recently took out Osama Bin Laden. GOP politicians strated falling all over themselves saying that Bush was responsible for the death of Bin Laden.

Dick Cheney even went on record saying the US needs to continue to use "enhanced interrogation  technigues." This is conservative-speak for "torture."

Where do you think the GOP got the term "enhanced interrogation techniques?" The Germans first used this term in 1945.

There is a lot of truth to this

The GOP thinks it has a mandate

If the GOP had a real mandate, it would have become the majority party in both the House and the Senate.  Since the Democrats control the presidency and the Senate, this Republican mandate is bogus.

The GOP also worries about the 'lame duck" session of Congress. The term 'lame duck" has only ben used to describe the president after a presidential election and before the new president is inaugurated.

Nice try, but it will take more than spin to control Washington.

Sour grapes after the GOP health care holocaust

Republicans would be wise to move on.  The public will embrace health care once it understands the program.

The Democrats need to take on the economy and unemployment prior to the next election. Social Security needs some reforms particularly the regressive payroll tax.

Health care has been beat to death and Rightardia looks forward to addressing other issues facing America.

Sen. Bunning gives ABC news reporter the finger

"Diamond Jim" Bunning shows the true face of the Republican Party to America.

Sen. Jim Bunning has left dozens of infrastructure projects on hold and put thousands of federal transportation workers temporarily out of work, but he is sticking to his guns, despite withering criticism from the White House and his Democratic opponents.

Jim Bunning rebuffs Jonathan Karl, refuses to discuss unemployment benefits. Bunning, the Kentucky Republican, decided last week to block a bill that would extend government funding of highway and transit programs and unemployment benefits for 400,000 Americans, among other programs.

He has been critical of the bill's $10 billion price tag and its potential to add to the national debt. Earlier today, Bunning refused to answer questions from ABC News, even flipping his middle finger at a producer trying to catch up with him from behind.

GOP will be a paper tiger in 2010 election

By JONATHAN MARTIN & ALEX ISENSTADT | 1/6/10 4:29 PM EST

 The GOP paper tiger

The recent retirements of two veteran Democratic senators and the decision by two Democratic gubernatorial candidates to drop their bids could prompt more in the party to head for the exits and frighten already skittish donors and activists. But it doesn’t yet appear that the party’s congressional majorities are at all threatened.

Republicans are poised to make gains in the House and the Senate, but the number of seats necessary to reclaim the majority makes it unlikely that they could knock the Democrats out of power in either chamber.

To win the control of the House, Republicans must win 40 seats in November. And to reclaim the Senate, they must pick up 11 seats. The math is harder than it looks.

“All things being equal, the turnout dynamics in a midterm cycle would probably cost House Democrats 10 to 15 seats. Throw in a rough national environment and our current outlook projects a GOP gain of 20 to 30 seats. Any further Democratic retirements or erosion in incumbents' standing could push that forecast higher,” said David Wasserman, an analyst for the Cook Political Report.

Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist, is now predicting a GOP gain of 27 seats in the House and three to four in the Senate.

“Those are marginal but significant advances for the GOP since the summer. What has gone up can continue to climb if President Obama becomes more unpopular — or the projected gains can be scaled back if the economy strengthens faster than expected,” said Sabato.

While the House is more difficult to assess because the fields aren’t fully formed, the electoral math makes it seem difficult for the Republicans to pick up 11 Senate seats. While they might pick up North Dakota now that Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan is retiring and are running competitively in Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Arkansas, the GOP finds itself defending seats in Missouri, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Ohio and Louisiana.

Democrats took comfort in analyzing the case-by-case fallout from the Tuesday and Wednesday announcements, which saw incumbent Sens. Dorgan and Chris Dodd of Connecticut disclose their decisions to retire rather than face potentially difficult reelections, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter declining a reelection bid and Michigan Lt. Gov. John Cherry quitting his gubernatorial race before it even started.

“When you look at these races individually, our overall net position may have improved, particularly given that this is a bad year to be an incumbent,” said Democratic strategist Anita Dunn, the former Obama White House communications director. “On the micro level, none of these, with the possible exception of North Dakota, are all that damaging.”

Rightardia agrees with this analyses. Intrade prediction markets gives the Democrats about a 65 per cent chance of holding onto the House.

Intrade predicts in the Senate that he Dems could lose up to four seats. The RNC Chairman, Michael Steele also admitted that it is unlikely that the GOP will regain control of the House.

The Tea Bagger movement appears to be made up of a bunch of paper tigers that may fracture the GOP. No clear leader of the GOP has yet emerged either.
