there were several that spoke at the convention. Former republican that is. the GOP can trot out Lieberman I)srael and Zell (D)ixiecrat

Rush Limbaugh's probably chewing oxycontin like Tums.

Came in for the OLD NEWS IS SO EXCITING! pic, left disappointed.

Rossi, the "GOP Party" candidate for governor in Washington has even gone so far to advertise at Talking Points Memo with a big message of "Change".


Poor guy, when he couldn't steal the Gov. election in 2004, even with Rove and co. trying (unsuccessfully) to get the WA USA to run politicized prosecutions for him, he's now had to revert to trying to convince the voters he's not even a Republican.

Funny how when the counted actual, physical ballots in 2004, the Democratic candidate won...

The Republicans still have the "independents" in their corner, they'll be alright.

I read "toxic label" and thought GOP bumper stickers were making people vote Obama

Don't they call that "starf*cking"?

My friends, McCain is used to being shunned. He was shunned four times a day when he was a POW in a prison camp.

Rossi is a dishonest, sore loser jackass who should get the hell out of politics and go back to his corrupt real estate scams. He was a criminal douchebag back in the '80s and he still is.

If you're considering voting for him, do some research on his time at Capretto & Clark and his buddy Melvin Heide before you vote.

Senator Gordon Smith is doing something similar in Oregon.

Snarfangel: Senator Gordon Smith is doing something similar in Oregon.

House Representative Virgil Goode's recent ad uses the tagline of "a strong, independent voice for Virginia's values"... and made no mention of his being a Republican.

This, incidentally, is the dumbass who objected to Ellison's being sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Koran... and whose district includes Monticello and surrounding area.

If by some odd twist of fate I were to somehow get elected to high national office, I'd insist on being sworn in on a copy of the U.S. Constitution.

/and if it were a state office, I'd think really hard about being sworn in on a copy of the Oregon Constitution, because even the weird parts would guide my actions more than some religious book.

Does the Anarchist's Bible count?

FTADino Rossi, a Republican who lists his party preference as "GOP Party,"

Rossi also stops at "ATM machines" and enters in his "PIN number".

ManatOrr: Won't swear in on a Bible? Why do you hate America?

I've read the Bible, and I've read the Constitution, and I like the latter more.

/seriously, I went to church almost every Sunday growing up, can still name all 66 books of the King James Bible, and I used to have large portions of the Gospel of John memorized for a Bible quiz team. I have a lot of good friends who are Catholic and Protestant, and roomed with a Muslim in college (though granted, he wasn't very devout). I still think the U.S. Constitution did more to help the world more in two hundred years than the Bible did in two thousand, which is why it pisses me off no end to see politicians trample on it.

Juansmith: Does it hurt to be that much of an idiot?

Do elaborate.

Juansmith: Does it hurt to be that much of an idiot?

It was pretty funny when Rossi filed suit and all he got for his trouble was Gregoire winning by an even larger margin.

HowlingFrog: Rush Limbaugh's probably chewing oxycontin like Tums.

I doubt he really gives a fark. He's been laughing all the way to the bank for decades.

My wife and I saw this ad when it was broadcast.

We've been laughing about it for days.

Then again, Rossi's obviously desperate for any kind of leverage or support. The Rossi faction in the Seafair parade was basically three people, Dino and his wife, and the applause and uproar that had been going on the entire parade basically stopped when they came through. They might as well have paraded a dead rotting whale carcass in front of the crowd.

It's funny that the Messiah is still having a hard time in the election. He isn't the uniter the way Reagan was.

Good enough for me, but I'm not the guy you'll have to convince.

HowlingFrog: Rush Limbaugh's probably chewing oxycontin like Tums.

I lol'd.

Rossi's TV commercials have just gotten pathetic. He didn't just abandon stumping for McCain. He's got full blown Obamania going on. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, except he's a corrupt opportunist with political views slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan.

Given the chance he'll gut educational spending and programs for children in poverty. At the same time he's against birth control. We're not even talking about abortion. He's against the pill. Because what we really need is more unwanted kids with less resources for them. Yup, that'll fix the state budget. How in the seven hells does this guy think that anyone will equate him with Obama? Oh, right.

You would think if it were this toxic we could get a President impeached...

Nemo's Brother: It's funny that the Messiah is still having a hard time in the election. He isn't the uniter the way Reagan was.

What do you mean? Here is a Republican trying to ride on Obama's popularity. Or are you in the wrong thread?

Snarfangel: If by some odd twist of fate I were to somehow get elected to high national office, I'd insist on being sworn in on a copy of the U.S. Constitution.

Me too. If it was for President, I'd see about being sworn in on the original.

What was it you said that one time? Something about preferring a politician that followed the Constitution religiously over one who followed the Bible causally?

Rossi is everything that Democrats always say that Republicans are. He's a perfect caricature of corruption, elitism, assholery and short-sightedness.

I think Gregoire makes a good governor. I think she also is a very poor self-advocate. This election is hers to lose.

I mean, DINO EFFING ROSSI???

Don't ask me how a guy named "Dino" gets elected for anything

I always get a kick out of seeing the "GOP Party."

The GOP Party: Head of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Kidding me? farker gets paid more if the Dems are in power.

GDI, really?

Well to be fair, i'm pretty stoned right now.

Hmmm...what could a republican POSSIBLY feel ashamed about...?

I thought it was a rogue macro.

Eh, if it goes on long enough, you'll see the Republican Party disappear like the Federalists did about 200 years ago. Then the Democratic Party will run unopposed for a few cycles and eventually split up with the Kucinich-type Dems on one side and the more "conservative" Dems on another. Some major issue will crop up to drive the split.

He's with the Grand Old Party Party? Those guys sure know how to party it up...

hotter than the ads: Rossi is everything that Democrats always say that Republicans are. He's a perfect caricature of corruption, elitism, assholery and short-sightedness.

I'm still pissed at her about the online gambling. I was actually considering voting Rossi, but thought about it, and realized that the one issue that I agree with him on is not equal to the 10+ issues I strongly disagree with him on. That and being a crybaby about the last election.



Besides, he makes some seriously shiatty wine.

FloydA: Rossi is a dishonest, sore loser jackass who should get the hell out of politics and go back to his corrupt real estate scams. He was a criminal douchebag back in the '80s and he still is.


So you're saying he's pretty much the average Republian?

Yeah, Rossi ... the "don't let Seattle steal this election" Republican, is trying to hitch his political caboose to the Obama train. It's pathetic.

"Republican" is toxic? Why do you think liberals now call themselves "progressives"?

HowlingFrog: Rush Limbaugh's probably chewing oxycontin like Tums.

If you really laugh at this, you are a sad and pathetic person. Talk about old and unoriginal. Much like Democrat rhetoric.

Wow, and just when it looked like the Republican might carry the state!

Yawn.

I'd vote for an atheist who followed the Constitution religiously over a Christian who followed the Bible politically.

/or something like that.
