January 21 - Yes, I am a happier woman today because the Texas Republicans are splattering like egg on a hot sidewalk. Thanks to my friend Kenneth, I awoke to news that they've got loco camped out in their eyeballs. A whole mess of them held a rally at the State Capitol where they skinned, field dressed, barbequed, and ate their own. It was fine dining.
With rhetoric that was at times reminiscent of Ross Perot's third-party presidential campaign nearly two decades ago, and sometimes echoed the invective hurled during the states' rights movement before the Civil War, speaker after speaker served up their harshest criticism of Obama and Congress.
But Perry and his GOP re-election challenger, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, and state lawmakers did not escape the anger. Other signs read: "Vote 'Em Out," "Perry: The Next Unemployed Texan," Hey, Governor. It's Time To Go!" and "Throw Out Kay Bail Out."
It is more than a tad amusing that Texas Governor Rick
Perry helped start the movement that's now out of his
control and dead set on canceling his free parking pass.
They booed a few Republican State Rep's and made some
wacko remarks about the President. I suspect that
their earlier code of respecting the President only
applies to Presidents named Bush."The time has come for people to rise up and defeat their anti-American, Marxist agenda," he said of the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress, as the crowd cheered.
They did come to one startling realization that most the rest of us have known for a while ---
"The Republican Party tried to use us, but we're onto them now," said Norman Shugar, 77, who drove in from outside Houston.
Hey, Rick and Sarah Palin - check behind you because those you thought you were leading are now carrying tar and feathers. You aren't leading anymore - you're being chased.
Susan,
I am with you on this. I cannot believe the voters in Mass. voted for the pretty one. Howard Dean was on Hardball saying that Democracy for America polled the 18% Democrats that voted for that man and their reasons for doing so were because the health care reform bill wasn't strong enough. HUH? Are the people in that foreign state drinking the stupid? He seems to think that now we can get a stronger bill out of Congress. I'm skeptical because I don't think enough Democrats in Congress, especially in the Senate, have the cajones to do this. But I will wait and see.
On a lighter note, last night someone in Minneapolis donated $1.00 (yes, that's one dollar) in the name of F* You to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The LOL part is that the thank you to this person stayed on the sidebar on their website for at least 23 minutes. You can see the full screenshot here:
but don't let your momma click on since they spelled it out.
