I have to say this.

[in_cog_ni_to]

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE repukes. I hate them. I hate them all. They have ruined my country. They are polluting my air, contaminating our water, making food inedible, trying to destroy Social Security, ruined our education system, made bankruptcy impossible for the poor people of this land and easy for the rich, given tax cuts to the rich at the expense of our kids, given us the largest deficit in history, stolen 3 elections with evoting machines, started an illegal war, killed 100,000 innocent Iraqis and 1,600 American soldiers because of the LIES they told, they have made torture an acceptable means of getting information, they have turned our country into a fascist state, they have let the religious right wing wacko, nut job Jesus Freaks take over, they have ruined our reputation all over the world...we are hated EVERYWHERE and so much more. I HATE them. I REALLY hate them.

:grr:

[BigBearJohn]

1. I agree

[Norquist Nemesis]

2. I hate that I hate them

but I really do hate them

[jojo54]

3. WOW!

You're done? Rant on in_cog_ni_to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alpaca]

4. Me too

I find it harder and harder to tolerate any of them. Luckily there aren't too many around my area.

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. You're so lucky.

Even though I'm in a Blue state, I'm surrounded by the assholes. :(

[Norquist Nemesis]

32. Same here...Pub Central

I still call DuPage County the Republican Propogation Center of the country.

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. :) sounds about right!

You're in DuPage County Illinois? I live in Bourbonnais, Kankakee County. :hi: Not too far away!

[Stinky The Clown]

5. I suspect there's a lot of that feeling out there

and we need to channel it. Not at each other, as we so often do, but at *them*.

Bring it on!

[NoSheep]

7. I'm starting to think they're all devils! Demons! Incubus, sucubus,

gargoyles, and all that other scary stuff. :+

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. They are!

;)

[Lerkfish]

19. I am increasingly convinced the republican party has become

the party of the antichrist. There is nothing so despicable or evil that they will not do, and they do not avoid killing people who try to expose their hideous evil.

If they are not the actual antichrist, they are dangerous wannabes.

[Arugula Latte]

9. I do too.

I am seriously pondering dumping a "friend" I have known since I was 13 (I'm almost 40). She has always been somewhat difficult, and I find myself hating her because she is a Republican. I now see her more as my enemy than my friend, even though I am sure she would be shocked to know that.

She is an intelligent person in many aspects of her life and should know better, but she has always been rich and I think that is what is coloring all her inane justifications for her stupid-ass positions.

To me, the Repubs have declared war on all that is good in this country. It's time to take strong stands.

Fuck Republicans.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. I have no repuke friends.

If I find out someone is a repuke, that's as far as I go. The sight of them makes me ill. The hatred I have for them, is beyond words. I can't tolerate how they think, feel or vote.

[Arugula Latte]

14. She's my one and only.

I recognized at an early age I have no use for Repukes. I've been able to construct a life in Portland where I rarely have to deal with these assholes.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. You're lucky.

I'm surrounded by them. There are days I feel as though I'm the only Dem in the entire community. It's pretty bad when I get excited over seeing another car with a Democrat/anti-Bush bumper sticker. :( There's a LOT of "support the troops" and "G-d Bless America" ribbon magnets.

[graywarrior]

11. Let's all sing along

http://www.bushflash.com/ihr.html

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. ; ) I own that CD. It's in my car.

:) One of my favorites...thanks to the Guy James Show.

[undeterred]

13. Monkey not happy :-(

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Monkey can eat shit!

:7

[bloom]

18. That's one of the best photoshopped versions of B**h I've seen.

Is it yours?

[undeterred]

22. No, I found it on a google image search

[shadowknows69]

16. fine. focus that hate into positive action

passion without action is just emotion.

[leftofthedial]

20. but you say all those like they were bad things

. . .

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. yeah, go figure.

:eyes:

[leftofthedial]

29. great concise statement of their more notable

and less deniable, evils

[KansDem]

23. Personally speaking, I despise them for the reasons you mentioned...

But also add to that:

1) I'm paying more for prescription drugs (I take six a day) because the GOP won't permit less expensive drugs to come in from Canada. As far as I'm concerned, every Republican is taking money out of my pocket...

2) My children (daughter 13, son 7) will be in line for the draft if BushCo wants to reinstate it. Although it wouldn't affect my daughter for at least 5/6 years, we must remember Vietnam lasted at least 10-12 years (or longer), and, if left unchecked, Iraqnam will last just as long if not longer...

on edit: Do you mind if I "co-grr?" :grr:

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. I have a 12 year old son and over my dead body will he EVER be drafted!

The last I heard we have a 10 year contract in Iraq to build more military bases. :grr:

[KansDem]

31. I hear you!

No way...NO WAY...are my children going to be drafted for this criminal war based on lies. NO WAY!

I've already drafted a letter to send to my representatives if the slightest hint of reinstating the draft appears in the media. In essence it reads that my children will not put their lives on the line for Bush lies and oil profits only to have their service record trashed by Republicans (ie, McCain, Clelland, Kerry). NO WAY!!!

Up to now, it's been mostly civil: calls to offices, emails and letters expressing concern, public protests over policy, but when they come after my children, all "rules of engagement" are off and I become ONE MEAN MOFO! :grr:

[Flying Dream Blues]

37. But wait, * says

those Canadian drugs might be dangerous!! :crazy:

and btw, my child will also be drafted over my dead body!!!
:mad:

[Auntie Bush]

24. My sister is Rethug and I was talking to her daughter last night and

asked her if her mother was finally losing faith in George yet.
She said, "No, she still loves him but my Mother is DUMB when it comes to brains or anything that is difficult to COMPREHEND."
Wow...I couldn't believe my niece could think or say that about her own mother. She has lost all respect for her! Same here! I can't believe my sister is so stupid. They just ALL have to be just plain stupid and dumb or rich to agree with any of bush's* agenda.

I HATE him more than anyone I've ever known in my life!
The man is truly EVIL and the spawn of the Devil.
He's even more despicable than all the child rapist and killers.
He's worse than all the serial killers in in this world.
IN FACT......HE IS A SERIAL KILLER!
He is a monster with a brain the size of a nut with his finger on the nuclear button! :scared:

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. I hear ya!!!!!

Believe me. The man and all of his supporters are the devil's spawn. They have opened their agenda for the world to see and his supporters ACCEPT IT!!!!!!!!! It boggles the mind. I detest every last one of them.

[graywarrior]

26. It ain't just Bush. It's every republican senator, congress-person

and right wing representative.

I thought we learned something from Viet Nam. When Clinton was president, I don't recall the threat of suppression toward conservatives. There was never any threat of changing the Constitution.

I'm just an average citizen, but I feel the rage building every day. I fear what will happen very soon. There will be a civil war and it will affect the economy with right wingers refusing services to liberals or vice versa. Even now, I would never take a job working for a repub. I'd rather starve. I won't talk to them if I meet them in groups, I won't help them if they break down on the side of the road. The rage runs deep, my friends. It's not going to be pretty.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. The rage is so deep that I don't think

we will EVER come together as a country again. It's too late. They have cause way too much damage.

I liked this story from a NY DUer:
He/she was at the protest in NY during the NY repuke convention. The protesters had gone to the park and some lady from some southern state (had an accent) asked a guy for directions to the convention. He/she told the lost conventioneer that since she didn't see the need for people helping other people, he/she (the protester) wasn't going to help her. He/she told the repuke to find Madison Square Garden herself. :7 Love it! That's what they will get from me from now on. NOTHING.

[TrogL]

28. Tell us what you really think

C'mon, you can do better than that!

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. But my blood pressure can only handle

so much. ;) If I continue, I'll blow a gasket. :nuke:

[earth mom]

30. Awesome Rant! I agree 100%!

Nominated it too! O8)

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. Thanks. I REALLY do detest those cretins.

I cannot think of one nice thing to say about them. Not one. Just look at what they've done to our country. :grr:

[redqueen]

38. I don't.

I know some that are okay... even though they're sadly misled by the so-called 'liberal' media.

I hate this crap when 'wingers say it about Democrats, and don't like it much more when I hear it from our side. That's just me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. What's not to hate?

Better yet, give me ONE thing to like. I can never think of one.

[redqueen]

42. I just don't do the 'hate' thing very well.

Also I tend to characterize behaviors I don't like rather than people. I don't like what their leaders are doing to this country, but as for them as individuals, I don't know them at all... I know more than a few republicans personally, and they're not bad people.

It's like when I'm mad at my kids... I don't tell them they're bad... I tell them they did a bad thing... we can't hate each other... we have to stop acting like bitter rivals... we all want what's best for the country and our children... we just have different ideas of what that is...

[area51]

40. Offshoring.

Don't forget the nazis are the worst when it comes to offshoring (& inshoring) American jobs so that people have nowhere to turn (except the military) for employment.

[in_cog_ni_to]

45. yep. The list is so long, isn't it?

We could probably have pages upon pages of the crap they've done. All the lies. All the bad policies. All the LIES. LIES, LIES, LIES.

[lonestarnot]

41. Hate 'em all and all they stand for!

[graywarrior]

43. I don't like feeling this way, it's too much like racism

But every time I see Frist, or Bush or O'Reilly, Coulter, Novak, I think...cancer with a mouth. And this didn't start in 2000. It started when Clinton was president. Constant badgering away with their sick, supposedly christian morality and all along planning to turn America into a third world country.

I'm on a roll today...must be the full moon.

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. Yes. When they found out Clinton was going to run against daddy chimp,

they immediately sent people to Little Rock to start digging for dirt, ANY dirt they could find. BEFORE he even ran!!!! THAT went on for 8 FRIGGIN' YEARS! "Blinded by the Right" by David Brock and "The Hunting of a President" by Joe Conason went into to great detail of that 8 year witch hunt. The bastards. I HATE them. They go after a man over a damn blow job, yet the idiot-in-chief has LIED about reasons for an ILLEGAL war, has killed thousands of people and he's not IMPEACHED????!!!! Where's the justice? I sincerely hate those people.

[graywarrior]

46. I appreciated your passion

I watched Hillary this afternoon using the "King" word several times. It just seems so unreal that even though most senators know what the right thing is to do, they will not because they are more concerned about their paychecks. 2006 is far far away and lots of damage can be done between now and then.

Media is worse than congress. They know what's going on and they've got their noses up Bush butt.

If the repubs get what they want on Tuesday, I guarantee there will be trouble in these so called united states. They think people are asleep. The rage is intense. I see it every day.

Wonder how many repubs thought they'd be voting themselves a king.

[rniel]

47. And just think

Anyone that didn't vote for Bush have virtually noone left to speak for us in the government and noone will speak for us in the press. Fucking powerless. Especially with no filibuster. The democrats might as well not bother showing up anymore after that.

We're just stuck in hell here for who knows how long.

[FrenchieCat]

48. I hear you.....but THEY are not "worth" my hate.....

Cause my hate is "special"

[bemildred]

49. Demonizing people is always bad.

And it is not just the Republicans.
The Dems have been enablers and co-dependents for a loooong time.

[NMMNG]

50. Erratum

made bankruptcy impossible for the poor people of this land

The rethugs didn't make bankruptcy impossible for the poor. They made it almost inevitable for the poor.

They just made declaring it impossible for the poor!

Only the rich get that little benefit.
