The Republican Party here in the US has fallen on some hard times. The party of personal responsibility has prominent factotums refusing to honor congressional subpoenas. The party of high moral standards has been hit with a series of embarrassing corruption and inappropriate-sex scandals. The party of fiscal conservatism ran the federal government’s budget into the dirt and pushed for a $850 billion bailout for a financial market they are widely perceived as having failed to regulate for the past seven years. Their presidential candidate has hung his hat on a maverick persona that relies heavily on his reputation for opposing pork-barrel spending; but he pushed for, lobbied for, and voted for the $850 billion bailout laden with pork. Their vice presidential candidate… Well, I don’t think there’s a lot that needs to be said there.
I’m kinda feeling sorry for them at this point.
I still think it will be pretty close election. Let’s see if people as color blind as they claim to be.
Yeah, it’s a shame so many otherwise-reasonable people in a hotly contested state — like maybe Missouri — would rather just sit things out and let their electoral votes fall where they may.
I am in Kansas. And I will still sit it out, just because the choice is between assholes and assholes. However, I am considering registering to vote, just to vote again my congressman who voted for the bailout. The only thing that stops me is the fact that they sell voter registrations to telemarketers.
Curse my ignorance of Midwestern geography! KHAAAAAN!
Don’t pity them. The republicans are reaping what they sewed, they deserve to fail. Voting against everyone who voted for the bail out is, in my opinion, a wise move. It’s also a good start; it’s time to clean out the money sucking vote weasels.

You are a total douchebag. How is that even good spam? What about that comment actually makes me go “yeah I want to buy aig auto insurance from new jersey”
@Chunkbot: it isn’t there to convince you. It’s to convince search engines that the linked-to URL (which I’m about to remove) is relevant to the keywords associated with that particular comment and this post in general. Yay, google-juice.
@PF: I read that phrase as “monkey sucking vote weasels,” which I rather prefer.
