Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
I really hope the Republicans get their act together. If the Democrats really start to mess things up on a Bushian level, I really need an alternative party to vote for. The threat of losing power is the only way to keep those in power even SLIGHTLY honest.
They must, absolutely must, flush Rush. Or at least not follow his terrible, terrible lead.

It may be a surprise, but they don't control him. I don't know how much they're following his lead, but they shouldn't.Originally Posted by Askthepizzaguy

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
I'd be interested to know which Republican leaders don't have to apologize for saying a critical word about him or his politics.

Most of them? As far as I know only Steele has apologized in a way.
What worries me more is South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford turning out to be in Argentina for a week instead of hiking in the Appalachians.

Yeah, that was really strange. I get that its nice to have a vacation every now and then, but telling the wife might have been a good idea.Most of them? As far as I know only Steele has apologized in a way.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
Oh wait, he was having an affair:
****.Gov. Mark Sanford admitted today that his secret trip to Argentina over Father's Day weekend was to visit a woman he is having an affair with.
Mark Sanford left the Governor's Mansion in this black State Law Enforcement Division Suburban assigned to his security detail. The Suburban remained parked Wednesday morning at Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
"I have developed a relationship with what started as a dear dear friend from Argentina. It began very innocently as I expect many of these things do, just casual email back and forth," Sanford said. "But here recently this last year developed into something much more."
Asked if Sanford was separated from his wife, he said "I don't know how you want to define that. I"m here and she's there. I guess in a formal sense we are not."
Sanford said his wife has known about the affair and they have been working through it for the past five months. "What I did was wrong, period. End of story," Sanford said.
Video.
**** it!
Gah.

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
I'll have to defer to someone who has been keeping track, but... I'm pretty sure there's been a bunch more than that. This is a somewhat humorous (but a bit too mocking for my taste) page I found, but hey! Look! It's that SC governor again... and a Georgia Congressman, in addition to Steele.
I haven't been keeping track, but how many concurrent scandals are happening right now involving Republican politicians? It feels like they are actually kicking themselves when they are down. And if we can ignore the media sensationalism, I've also been monitoring the content coming from them. No real budget proposal, no real health care reform proposal. If they have the better ideas, where are they hiding them, and who told them to do so?
This is an excellent opportunity, I think, to clean house and get rid of a lot of the leadership. The party is already down, there's no real chance of winning back Congress in the next election... but perhaps those Republican seats that will always be Republican seats need to be seriously challenged in the coming election by other Republicans who can provide a more serious challenge to the Democrats

Re: A Problem of Shrinkage
So two republicans apologized and one more (who's no longer a leader) said he wasn't directly calling Rush an idiot.
Excuse me while I scoff at your suggestion, which you admitted was based on no research, that all republican leaders are kowtowing to Rush.
*scoffs*
Rush has nothing to do with the real problems the GOP has.
