Republicans are pussies.
From the congressional chicken hawks to the half-baked Alaskan Sarah Palin; from the wild-eyed doughboys and smug bullies who spew bilge from their televised perches to the shivering talk radio gremlins who broadcast out of their parents' basements, they sure talk a good game but have no stomach for real battle, outsourcing their pathetic rage to the gullible multitudes. These yellow-bellies are in fact consumed with and by fear: fear of anything foreign, fear of empowered women, fear of their own mortality. And let's not even mention their disdain for the arts (for which they themselves have no aptitude, unless you count John Ashcroft's "When he Eagle Soars"). Oh, hell, let's.
The Republican party, it seems, is crammed with pussies.
Why not hold Gitmo prisoners in maximum security prisons on US soil? Why not try terrorists in New York? Scared? These guys aren't SMERSH. Give them a dose of the America you profess to be so proud of. if you're big enough to wage war you'd better be able to handle the responsibility. The mechanism of Democracy needs to be exercised, not suppressed.
All the loud mouths, the obstructionists, the Obama-haters, the cowards who have cut and run from the American people and who have thrown in with the corporate carnivores are just wimpering, shivering milksops.
Pussies.
And since we're on the subject, I might as well move onto current events. Please excuse the sloppy segue.
That a mental mite like Sarah Palin is the only real Republican luminary who can draw a crowd says it all. The epitome of unimaginative opportunism, she is in fact even more toxically effective than Limbaugh or Beck: she is the Lara Croft of the Republican's video game platform, all smarm and fury and zero in the way of substance. But damn if she can't get the mob riled!
Disdainful of government because -- as she's so ably proven -- she sucks at it, disdainful of the elites who shun her yet who she longs to be one among, she is at her heart a pretender, a con-artist, a fraud. Her consistent disingenuousness points to the cowardice inherent in all of the Republicans' constant posturing.
Really, at this point, they just need to be ignored.
The fact is they don't matter anymore except as a lesson to all about what can happen when insatiable greed meets fear. Like the hero of Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun, the Reps should be paraded from city to city for children to see and feel true repulsion at the effects of blind hubris. Until then, we are forced to endure the heckling and mewling of these obsolete fools, these traitors.
In a word: pussies.

Excellent post!
I appreciate your description of Sarah Palin. She has become an exercise in how well we can verbally put this back where it belongs, oh, I don't know, head of some PTA maybe??
well done, Mr. Weber
I've always thought that about Republicans. Cowards who send other people's kids off to die while they harumph and posture and live quite well.
remember when joe biden voted to allow bush to invade iraq?
Steven Weber, actor and wise guy. You are one sexy wordsmith. Your posts are like vibrators for my ears.
LOL!
Harsh commentary for a harsh group of people. Many of them deserve no less. Well done.
I can't even think of a comment to this. Excellent!!!! You made my day.
Small list of Vietnam draft dodgers: Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, Tancredo, Guiliani, Hume, Cheney and 17 GOP Senators.
They are WIMPS! Bring back the draft now. No more Americans doing three and four tours of duty.
You and steve nailed it!!! Weasels...
Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Kristol, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Dick Morris, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, Tom Delay, Mitch McConnell, Trent Lott, etc, etc...sick
not to mention Clinton though
He's a Republican too.
Mr. Weber,
Several million points out of a possible ten......
Steven, what Democrats was "drawing crowds" in 2001, 2002, and 2003, Tom Daschle? Gep? name them... I mean really. And I don't really like her, but Michelle Bachmann could probably out draw any Dem except Obama.
Current events....
Michelle would draw equally ignorant equally bigoted and paranoid people to her rally.
She proved that on Nov 5.
She drew a small crowd of seditionists. Nothing more than that.
No proof, no data, no statistics, no relevance
that never stopped fox from reporting
That never stops any nut o the right from saying whatever they want. Never stopped Palin from a good show.
Steven,
I agree completely - which is why I am so consistently disappointed in the Democrats. How can they moderate their message and so weakly promote any "center-left" idea? They are gutless as well. The democratic party consistently moves rightward as they figure if they stay one smidge left of the Republicans, then they will garner an ever larger percentage of votes. Nonsense - they are consistently abandoning the ideals that the majority voted for. Both parties are just about money. That is the only real constituency they have.
Couple that with a mind-numbingly stupid public and you have a morass of corruption and ineptitude such as we now enjoy (and have since JFK.)
Modern America has me rooting for the peaceful division of our country. I figure the only real questions at this point involve the form of the eventual split - peaceful or violent.
"...she is at her heart a pretender.
This is a key aspect of her appeal to her adolescent followers - that someone like them can become famous and even have a shot at the presidency regardless of qualifications. Her fans identify with her lack of qualifications. Being an unabashed pretender is fundamental to her appeal.
(snooty Star-on-be
Get your nose out of the air. Listen to the argunments and engage with them if you are so smart. simply insulting half the country does your cause no justice whatsoever.
You mean their arguments about death panels, or that Obama stole the election, or who's a real American?
BTW, you kinda missed the point. No one said they can't have opinions.
"Star-on-b
Those who can, do. Those who can't talk louder and with more vitriol just to get attention. It's the political equivalent of a two-year-old temper tantrum and should be dealt with in the same manner. By ignoring them.
Can I double- fan someone? :)
Awesome!
