The Much Ado About Nothing Party....

That seems to be what the GOP has turned into these days.

Getting all upset about the Designer Bags being used to raise funds for president Obama is just the latest in a whole slew of Fox hysteria.

And since the GOP is always interested in petty little things to get their base excited, that is all I can see them as now.

Meaningless slogans and petty controversy.

Yep, the GOP should just call themselves the Much Ado About Nothing Party...

maybe they'll leave our President alone and let him get on with campaigning for his re-election just like their clowns are doing. They want to be shocked and dismayed about the female uterus and how we want to be in charge of our own bodies. just bring vasectomy into the discussion, that' will definitely get them sputtering about something worthwhile...LOL.

they'd fade away when it came to appealing to their base.

Their base needs to feel that they, ironically in the "majority" of whatever (other than being lower-case R right), were being persecuted constantly. They don't need to be, they just need to think they are.
