It is now time for my annual Say Something Nice About Republicans thread

[MrScorpio]

Equal time, fairness and all that rot.

Here we go: "Something nice about Republicans."

There, that was tough, but it had to be done.

Please watch this space for next year's thread.

Peace out!

1. uh, um, well...

Let me get back to you on that one...

[liberal N proud]

2. My mother always said, if you can't say anything nice...

Well, there is nothing nice to say about them.

[CTyankee]

3. Here goes: Ike did a great thing in helping bring about the National Highways

project to full fruition.

[BillStein]

4. yeah

even if it did set the railroads and public transit on the road to ruin, enable suburban sprawl and help set us on the road to petroleum dependency.

Well done, Ike!

[CTyankee]

7. well, it's a two way street (no pun intended). Now the pendulum has to swing back.

But improved highways definitely helped the economy.

But you are right in that we should now have a big push on finding cleaner energy and making it more available.

[baldguy]

5. Well, Nikki Haley is pretty - as long as she doesn't talk.

Sure it's shallow & sexist, but Republicans appreciate that sort of thing.

[Half-Century Man]

6. here goes

They displace water well.
They can be used as emergency sandbags.
During the Zombie Apocalypse, they will confuse zombie hordes looking like regular people, but without brains to feast on.
In case of unexpected encounters with grizzly bears, you only have to outrun the republicans.
They gather wealth into specific places, so when the revolution comes, we don't have to hunt all over.

[RC]

8. They serve as excellent examples for what not to do.

They give DU its reason for being. (Now if we would/could only deal with the 3rd Way, Blue Dogs, DLC, Republican Lite and other Right-of-Center denizens gumming up the works...

[BillStein]

9. Michele Bachman

supports gay marriage, judging from hers

[JustAnotherGen]

32. +1

[BillStein]

10. Mark Sanford

has helped promote the Appalacian Trail as a hiking venue

11. Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt both Republicans had some ideas Democrats took over.

That was more than 100 years ago. Republicans evoke the name of Lincoln once a year even though they totaly reject the idea of emancipation and are the primary advocates today for succession. Teddy Roosevelt did not die a Republican so he should not be counted. We should thank them for taking in America's Political Trash aka the Dixiecrats and giving the new home of the KKK (Tea Party) an almost exclusive voice in the Republican Party.


Now if we could convince the spineless to become Republicans.

[annabanana]

12. There are a lot fewer who ADMIT to being Republican now. . .

(how's that)

[RC]

13. See my post #8

They just changed their outward appearance.

[krispos42]

14. Um...

...their ability to see things that aren't visible to anybody else could really help in a blackout.

[Festivito]

15. Republican judges wear nice robes. /nt

[LiberalAndProud]

16. Saxby Chamblis hit a hole in one yesterday.

That's nice, I guess.

[11 Bravo]

17. They are so full of shit that they keep the toilet paper industry in business.

[darkangel218]

18. Some of them drive nice trucks :/

That's all.

[PD Turk]

19. Hmmm

Uh....... hmmmm....eh, I got nothing

[Tom Ripley]

20. Some of them have quit beating their wives

[Johonny]

21. Nixon is still dead

[MattBaggins]

22. They provide an endless source of amusement.

[Zorra]

23. You have gone overboard with your kindness, MrScorpio. nt

[TheMightyFavog]

24. For all of Tommy Thompson's faults...

As a governor, he was an excellent advocate for high speed passenger rail. He laid the earliest groundwork for what should have been our state's new high speed line.

[Jamaal510]

25. I've got a few nice things to say, actually.

-Pres. Eisenhower did what was necessary in raising top tax rates to 90% to keep the government properly-funded.
-Republican women who I find sexually attractive include S.E. Cupp, Michelle Malkin, Mia Love, Sarah Palin, Nikki Haley, Michele Bachmann, and Ann Coulter.
-Ron Paul's stance on drugs is more progressive than Pres. Obama's.
-I applaud Pres. Reagan's honesty for saying that SS does not contribute to the deficit.
-Bush ll is a better painter than I am.
-I am envious of Rush Limbaugh's paycheck.
-I respect Jon Huntsman for never pandering to the party's fringe while running for the GOP nomination in 2012.
-John McCain and Susan Collins did the right thing in supporting background checks for all gun sales.
-Steve Schmidt and Michael Steele are among the most honest Republicans I have ever seen, who will call their own party out whenever they do something too foolish. Same with Chris Christie.
-Bush ll was a funny president (albeit sometimes unintentionally).
-Ted Nugent was honest enough to admit that he defecated himself to avoid the draft and that he went with a minor.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. I'm sorry, you lost me after Eisenhower.

[HangOnKids]

37. I threw up in my mouth after the sexually attractive part

MALKIN? COULTER? Seriously barf worthy.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. They are carbon-based life forms

and that in and of itself is sort of cool.

[dogknob]

28. Many Republicans, when looking in the mirror, see a liberal...

...then suit up to to battle with reality.

[tarheelsunc]

29. Hmm...

Rank and file Republicans: They're so selfless when they deliberately vote against their own best interests.

Politicians: They're very obedient toward the special interests that own them.

[SummerSnow]

30. Here it goes...

[Aerows]

31. They prove

that no matter how banal, cruel or inane your ideas are, you still have a venue in which to express them. Heck, you might turn them into laws!

[Gemini Cat]

33. Something nice...

Some of them have the good sense to wake up leave their party and become Democrats.

[riqster]

34. Comparing them with cow flop

...makes the poop look good. This no doubt helps the manure industry.

[Ikonoklast]

35. They are currently in the process of dying off.

Demographics will ensure that the self-immolation process they started will eventually finish them off.

[Initech]

36. Reagan will have been dead for ten years next year.

[Liberalynn]

38. They always raise my self esteem

because I feel like a freaking genius in comparison.

[Arugula Latte]

39. Reagan sired a great kid, Ron Jr.

Also, I found Reagan so reprehensible that he turned me into an instant Democrat at the age of 14, so I must thank him for that.

[COLGATE4]

40. They all have had mothers...
