GOP = ‘PARTY OF NO!’

Spread The Love

Last year, Democrats waged a successful PR campaign against Republicans, branding them as the “Party of No!”  At every turn, Republicans were staunchly against any and everything Democrats and the president attempted to do, usually without ever offering their own alternative.

At the time, Republicans balked at their new identity and tried to distance themselves from appearing to be negative nelly’s.  But recently, it appears Republicans are openly resurfacing as the party that just says NO!

This past week, Sarah Palin welcomed the idea of being known as the “Party of No” and her fellow GOP counterparts seem to be falling directly in line. With the announced retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, President Obama will soon nominate a replacement.  But members of the “Party of No” have played their hand in letting it slip they are already gearing up to oppose the nominee. Which begs the question: How is it possible to oppose someone who hasn’t even been selected, announced, or nominated yet?   Hmmm…

Now THAT’S taking “No” to a whole new level.  HAPPY FRIDAY!

Bush as their "leader", and nominated Him for "President" I knew then that "the Party" was over. The fact that Bush went on to be so-called "elected" in 2000 for the Highest most important position in the nation_AND. THE. WORLD._and then re-elected in 04_told me ALL I needed to know about the GOP’s future_and sadly, the UNinformed gullibility of most voting Americans at THAT time_smh.But I digress.Thank goodness, it appears now that most voting Americans have grown a brain and as a… Read more »

And in other related media-CREATED "news":NYT:"Tea Partiers Don't Represent 'Real America' After All" WASHINGTON — The tea party is nothing new, it represents a relatively small minority of Americans on the right end of politics, and it will not determine the outcome of the 2010 elections.In fact, both parties stand to lose if they accept the laughable notion that this media-created protest movement is the voice of true populism. Democrats will spend their time chasing votes they will never win. Republicans will turn their party into an angry and narrow redoubt with no hope of building a durable majority.The news media's incessant focus on the tea party is creating a badly distorted picture of what most Americans think and warping our policy debates. The New York Times and CBS News thus performed a public service last week by conducting a careful study of just who is in the tea party… Read more »
