Sherrod Brown: GOP is isolating itself.
Blowing everything out of proportion, heckling Obama...rapidly becoming an insular, Southern party.

Everybody can see that, except for the GOP.

God...I wish Sherrod were still my senator.

Been in the forefront trying to stop the economic bleeding in that state.

3. They sure looked isolated
A bunch of old farts sitting there muttering to themselves
and looking at their shoes (or was it their crackberries).

What losers. What crumb-bums.

4. I think it's called "the death of conservatism".
I think there's a book titled that, and it must speak to this current ideology that is certainly not conservative. These GOP people are pathetic. They and their followers seek to drag our country into oblivion.

5. He's right, this always happens to Hamiltonian parties
in this country. They manage to stay stable only while they stay small.

The Federalists, then the Whigs, and now the GOP all made deals with the devil so they could become a majority party. That worked for a bit and then the devils took over.

It's odd, the party survived Nixon's deal with the devil, the southern racists. What it couldn't survive was Reagan's deal with the stupid.

Moderates have now mostly fled. What remains isn't pretty.

All that's left is the scrapheap of history and trying to repair all the damage they did while they were in power.

7. He's right. I saw a far rightard wing party tonite.
Edited on Wed Sep-09-09 09:16 PM by roamer65
I would have been embarrased to be a Repig tonite. I do believe that the Repig party has NO representatives left from the New England states in the H of R. Therefore, it is only a regional party now....much like the Bloc Quebecois party in Canada.

11. the only Repubs that I know of here in the Midwest are
either young and white with no more than a high school education, are members of the Christian Right, or are senior citizens who listen to hate-radio and FOX every day.

13. I'm not sure
The GOP is dangerously incompetent, bigoted and unpopular, but that doesn't mean they won't get elected in 2010.
