The Stout Republican

Damn it…

Now I am angry at the Republicans…

Ironic, considering the previous post just addressed Republican frustration with Illegal immigration, Mel Martinez become the nomination for RNC chair. Way to throw Conservative Legitimacy in the shitter. As Mary Katherin Ham points out:

A Steele chairmanship and a Pence/Shadegg House leadership takeover would really have helped me warm back up the Republican Party in this cold, cold time, but the first is a bust and the second ain’t looking great. Guess I’ll remain chilly, as will much of the base. Feel the love.

How does Martinez score on the all-important immigration issue, which undoubtedly kept many Republicans ticked off enough to stay on their duffs this year? Oh.

What…no lube?

The Republican Party just turns tail and runs any time the issues get too “hot” for them to handle. First Social Security abandoned (this 25 year old is banking on no government retirement, probably full SS collapse…go 401k!!), then judges (go Harriet Meirs!!), and now immigration (va la inmigración)..when the going gets tough…Republicans fold?! So…what now? Are they going to nominate Mel Gibson as the ambassador to Israel?

So…the base wanted Steele…but this ignoring of the people who actually vote these (*expletive deleted*) into office is starting to become the piece de resistance of the right. Has 12 years of power made them think they need to do nothing to keep it…are conservative ideals that hard to grasp when you CAMPAIGN ON CONSERVATIVE VALUES!!

So…how about them Dodgers…I hear they play baseball.

Bad Republican
