Cornyn: GOP Will Regain Status as National Party

[zahir13]

Wow. He just admitted the GOP is no longer a national party.

[SadCarnage1224]

once the republicans take over it will be the end for the U.S....

[obamawillfail]

the same people that caused the housing collaspe obama put on his cabniet. lol fail fail fail fail fail fail fail

[obamawillfail]

btw the fed prints money out of thin air then charges the american tax payers intrest on it. The fed does nothing we would be better of without them. I can print money out o f thin air. it cost the fed .03 cents to make 100 dollar bill.

[sirenize]

LMAO about sums it up.

[guerillawar12]

Republicans declared war against the wrong country, bankrupted the nation, and broke 3 articles of the constitution.

Republicans should be kissing Obama's ass

[wontonton]

How are they going to be a "national" party if they don't consider blue states and their citizens "Real America"?

[OlivierdeAthos]

The only way the Republican party will be a national party by 2010 will be if Texas secedes.

[obamawillfail]

the only way the republicans will be a national party again if they support ron paul. Ron paul destroyed there party.

[greyflcn]

re: obamawillfail

==the only way the republicans will be a national party again if they support ron paul.==

Hah, Ron Paul is essentially an anti-nationalist.

The more Republicans focus on their ideology of exclusion and selfishness, the more they will become irrelevant.

[obamawillfail]

:DDDDD any politican that wants us to become a global world needs to burn in hell. end of story. no ifs and or butts. but if there is ever a one world goverment im sure we will fight aliens. hahahahahah

[greyflcn]

re: obamawillfail

Actually what Ron Paul essentially wants is just short of Texas becoming a separate country.

[obamawillfail]

I would be down for that im sick of the fed telling me howi can live my life. they want me to live to 100 years old so i can stay a consumer thats all they care about. FUCK the party system and 99.5% of the fags in washington

[greyflcn]

re: obamawillfail

And what social liberties are the fed taking away from you that the state would give you?

Can you name any?

If it's so crucial that it's dictating how you live your life, they must be pretty obvious.

[obamawillfail]

Lets see her. i would like to be able to drink at 18 i would like to be able to smoke weed if i want. Fed makes state pass laws and if the states dont pass the laws the feds wants the state doesnt get funding its totaly bullshit. example .08 alchol limit it use to be .10 but the fed held the states hostage to lower it so they can make more people criminals so they could make more money.

[greyflcn]

re: obamawillfail

==to be able to drink at 18 i would like to be able to smoke weed if i want.==

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, the question being though, why would a Republican state government grant that?

As for printing money out of thin air, a large reason that happens is because of deficit spending.

And a large reason that happens is because of military spending.

[obamawillfail]

I think you are more informed then me. also I think that you misunderstood me maybe. IM not far republican party at all. I just like ronpaul. Dont care for any of the rest.Actually I dont support either party. In my thinking both parties strings are pulled by the world bankers.

[greyflcn]

Well the way I look at it, Ron Paul has a romantic message.

However for instance, lets say these "Bankers" had the argument that unlike all other forms of Insurance.

They could offer "Loan Failure Insurance", where they weren't required to charge enough money to actually pay out in the event of a loan failure.

So they charged hardly anything to make bad loans appear as good loans.

How is deregulation of the financial sector good for the public?

[obamawillfail]

I honestly dont know. who knows maybe if we tried ron pauls ideas they wouldnt work. but for some reason i trusth this m an. I've done alot of research and there are so m any thinks that make you think america is run by world bankers that pull strings behind closed doors. example how palestine became. im pretty sure turkey had to barrow money from the rothchilds.turkey couldnt pay back so they created palastien i could be wrong. sorry for my my grammar and spelling.

[greyflcn]

re: obamawillfail

Well we did try Ron Paul's ideas already.

It was called Robber Baron Capitalism

Didn't work out so well for the common man.

[obamawillfail]

I will google Robber baron capitalism right now. I'm sure for america its to late to go back to something like with welfare and all the people living for free of the state and gov. but im very uneducated in these ideas.I could be way wrong. good chatting with u

[yonni]

You should also check out the % the government spends on welfare. You will be very surprised. For some one who calls himself "obamawillfail" you make an awful lot of apologizes for your own ignorance.

[obamawillfail]

the united states of welfare. yes its a joke and everyone abuses the system. for one you should have to take a drug test to get welfare. for 2 the dems are spineless bastards they would of never got elected if bush wasnt such a fucking tool. obama = dumb fuck that sold out america to foriegners

[SadCarnage1224]

ur a dumb fuck bush is a republican an never voted for obama he voted for mcain he just welcomed him in idiot and obama has stop the freefall of the economy look at ur facts again dumbass...

[obamawillfail]

trust me obama is just a puppet getting his pulled by the world bankers. do you actually think obama would of got elected without the backing of these guys that own msnbc, cnn, cbs, abc and all the liberal media outlets that arnt suppose to be bias. im sorry im not a sheep like you. I understand how it works. Ronpaul the only true hero left.

[cagedtigersteve]

i just want to drive a car at age 13.

[greyflcn]

re: cagedtigersteve

==i just want to drive a car at age 13.==

41,000 traffic fatalities last year.

Do whatever you want to yourself, but once you start involving a high potential of killing other people you gotta draw the line.

Frankly I'd kinda rather they swap the driving age and the drinking age.

[obamawillfail]

sorry for my english im still learning :D

[obamawillfail]

also soon obama will want to take are guns away and censor are internet. bullshit. I hope the rich elites that got obama elected burn in hell. rothchilds, jp morgans. list goes on fuck them jew bankers.

[grudgekeeper]

Absolutely amazing. Hes saying they will have the candidates that will compete. He does not get it, its not the candidates, its the philosophy, its the party foundation that's hinged on nothing but patriotism and religion. Claiming that if your not republican your not God fearing or patriotic. They need an actual platform not new candidates.

[zidmt]

Can someone post a web site to see who voted for what? I dont want spin, I want hard facts. ty

[ushadrons]

LOL!! Republicans are a bunch of ignorant malcontents, who can be worked into a frenzy about anything. They simply can't live with the reality that they lost the election so badly. Their desperation has lead them to look increasingly insane. Their divorce from reality and retreat into the political netherland of subjective hate and fear, runs counter to the direction of the conciousness of our country. These Palinesque optics will lead them to a major defeat in 2010 and 2012. Life is beautiful.

[L8nitedave]

Really John? Think I'll contact the Democratic party and see who wants to run in your district.

[sachaput]

By god, we need some more white-haired white men running for office. Let's see some Republicans competing in New England and New York, then I'll believe you have a chance.

Goodbye, GOP!

[mightydio]

Cornyn voted for all of the Bailouts!!! he and anyone else that did in the Republican Party need to leave it and then and ONLY then will it become relevant again.. because it's simply the exact same thing as the democrat socialist party as it stands today.

[cammbs123]

I wish I could join the Democrat Party, but unfortunately I work for a living.

[chicagoray40]

I hear that

[historico69]

National Party.. with 21% of the nation behind you?

[EdugeBDroN]

Yes we 'r having another fascist Job fair soon where we will find candidates who are eager to go back to rape and pillage the country

[Superplatanoman]

competitive nationally? they can't win in the north east

[wldk38]

It's like watching the Titanic for the GOP.

[WashMitt]

Where is the video where Hanity's head exsplodes ?

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Only 1 in 5 Americans still identify themselves as Republicans- stick a fork in these assholes.

[route99]

I think I saw Cornyn and this group of Republicans on VH1's "I Love the 90s".

Okay, it was the 1890s, but they fit right in.

[hoosiermama5357libin]

Wait a minute-Cornyn is from Texas. Shouldn't he be down there designing their new national flag? Their national motto "in guns we trust".

[mightydio]

that would be great and you would be one of the first I'd shoot in the head.

[hoosiermama5357libin]

oohh so much rage and anger. You must be missing the other teabaggers. I'd bet money I'm a better shot than you.

[MeanieMuff]

100 days of a damn good president! Way to go Obama.

[WhoopTDu]

and then you woke up, Cornyn. :)

[RoseSkye]

I think I love Bush now. If Bush didn't exist.. this would never had happened. Bush is the harbinger of fate.. without him true equality would never have been realized at least as fast. Also... the republican party is dying. Bonus. So.. thanks Bush, you're my hero.

[ipbalkenende]

Hahaha I love Bush as well, I mean imagine if Kerry had won the free market fundie induced bubble burst would have happened on our watch! Add to that the fact that the last 9 months have made it perfectly clear that the people remaining in Bush's party are far more insane than he was. At least he didn't go Hoover on us as the extremist teabag nuts in congress would have us do (though it's probably just posturing for the most part).

[carrierexchange]

They're working hard through Fox News, Tea Parties, protests and fear mongering.

[butchgonzales]

the GOP will be a failed party so long as they continue to be lead by complete morons that are so out-of-touch with the average american's plight: jindal, limbaugh, savage, etc..

[Mysticomega]

Na na na na, na na na na, HeEEY GOODBYE!

[SevenSixTwoNato]

So long as the GOP continues to placate the ultra-right and rely on scare tactics, they'll continue to lose elections.

[ForzaInternazionale9]

You can hear the fear in his voice.

[almamatters2471]

if they got rid of those damn neo-con thinkers then maybe they would be the Republican Party of old...until then...don't let the swine flu hit ya in the ass.

[MooseOfReason]

I'd only vote for a Republican in the 2010 elections if they showed backbone and integrity. I have to see something in their voting record and not just backed by faith like our currency.

[imileamsi]

The Republicans will eventually come back. But I think for now they will be the Generational Minority.

[squidb8]

I don't know about 2010 but the GOP, or some party that resembles it will be back.

As the economy starts to improve, all the people that were screaming for the Gov to get involved will be screaming for the Gov to get out of their business. It's just the cycle of things.

But there is still alot of ole school / dead wood that needs to be fired first.

[pwoznic]

The Dems have quadrupled Bush's deficit. The Keynesians are full of shit. Redemption in 2010!

[greyflcn]

re: pwoznic ==The Dems have quadrupled Bush's deficit. The Keynesians are full of shit. Redemption in 2010! = So you're blaming Democrats for the creation of Credit Default Swaps? (Aka Bond Insurance) greyfalcon. net/ cds2 greyfalcon. net/ cds It's a proven track record that the economy does better under Democrats. greyfalcon. net/ stocks greyfalcon. net/ gdp greyfalcon. net/ jobgrowth greyfalcon. net/ mccain5 And debt under Repubs greyfalcon. net/ doonsbury.png greyfalcon. net/ debt2.png

[pwoznic]

Under a moderate in Clinton, sure, but he also had a Republican congressional majority. Bush was no Republican, only on paper.

The Obama administration is going to cause hyperinflation. Our dollar was approaching worthlessness under Bush, but now, even China is asking for a new global currency. The neomarxists have ruined us.

[greyflcn]

re: pwoznic

==Bush was no Republican, only on paper.==

Well by that measure, you haven't had a "Republican" in office since Richard Nixon

What with his "We are all Keynesians now." quote ;D

[GodKillerAtheist]

Cornyn: GOP Will Regain Status as National Party

the title should have read "....Will Regain Status as National Socialist Party" but I guess Adolf already took that one =D

[JamJells]

I don't think so for a few terms, and there is money to be stolen again.

[josephpuente]

Wow, thinking ahead all the way to 2010... How about focussing on the present and doing something for the people you represent NOW instead of thinking of your own political careers.

[SquallCloud]

That would be too much like right.

[Kni7es]

I wouldn't be getting too comfortable right now guys. We've got a solid four years to push through some good policy, but don't forget that the GOP works best when it has its back up against the wall (or at least pretends to appear as such). They like playing the victim card; it goes along well with them being marginalized for their more extreme views.

Keep an ear to the ground. It wasn't long ago us Dems were being left for dead as well.

[ver506]

You're right, they will come back. This country still remains divided right down the middle.

That said, i enjoy watching the GOP look desperate and pathetic. Last night, i found myself watching O'Reilly. He had Rove on and what stood out for me was how sad they looked! They look down and defeated.....i love it!!!!!

[AstoundedAtheist]

Um no........

[chicagoken]

Hey Cornyn, you can start by referring to the majority party by their proper name "The Democratic Party" not the Democrat Party, you obnochish boob.

[Teremei]

The Republicans will not come back strong. They are a dying party.

[masterdude787]

you are so wrong...

[hb2998]

Lets hope they can come back strong. Lets be honest, there is no fun in playing chess with an idiot.

[PhiloCentinel]

Yes there is.

[coupcoupTV]

What if the idiot cheats? Can we please get rid of the cheating idiots?

[Puabond]

It's clear to me, in the south, that Republicans have casted themselves with illiterates and overtly religious.

Here in Nashville, it's clear that their future here may last, but it's future in the country is dwindling everyday its closer to midterm elections. And now a moderate has jumped the boat... GOP is too fucked to be.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

PFFFFFFT, not when they admitted to specter that they were ok with losing as many seats and the white house so long as it allowed them to "purify" the party.

[cagedtigersteve]

The GOP needs a makeover to align themselves not with their personal policy beliefs of greed but with those who they represent. Specter's move signals that the party is too far right to be any use to the people.

[rkeppler3633]

Let's send all the Republicans to Iraq.

[terrence0258]

Why don't all the Republicans go to Texas, secede, and start their own country. They can call it Reaganomia, or New Texico.

[Lamarmusizz]

That country would start a war with us.. But would be crushed...

[masticina]

Well maybe if they throw out the religious fanatics...

[crazybearBK]

Fuck these guys. Were finally loved by our allies and maybe soon American children can get REAL and EQUAL educations through the progressive measures now being emphasized.

[u2beandme]

i thought texas is seceeding from the union.

it is about time for "big", "bad" JOHN to pack up and leave our country with his moronic ideologies.

[ehkinoh]

Who else thinks republicans don't want to fund education so that more ignorant people pass through the public schools, turn 18, and vote for them?

"Watch out Bible Belt! They is teachin' yurr kids 'bout evolution!!!"

[CynicalSavior]

I've been saying that for years. You have to keep people good and stupid to vote against their own self interests.

[WKaliberr]

gayfish?

[KataVideo]

a national party? I notice he's not referring to "which" nation..

[taoofmichael]

Dream on fucker!

Once the American people get it, they dont forget it.

[thehoaxbuster]

You obviously haven't picked up a history book in a while. Political tides have changed even after specific parties really impressed Americans or pissed them off.

People have forgotten the Reagan years...

[taoofmichael]

"People have forgotten the Reagan years..."

Some people have. But the Republicans keep bringing him up. And Reagan's policies continued under Bush 1 and 2. Republican policies and issues are Reagan's issues -- deregulation, "small government," abortion, gays. Its all Reagan.

Example: All this "socialism" bullshit. That is Reagan's old game. "Tax and spend liberals" Reagan again.

So people may have forgotten him. But if you watch the Republicans right now, its rehashed Reagan 24/7.

[greyflcn]

re: taoofmichael

The real irony, being that when it came to gigantic government spending programs. Bush Bush and Reagan take the cake ;D

greyfalcon. net/ doonsbury.png

[Richardgwm]

After 2010, the Republicans will be lucky to have 150 seats in the House and 35 in the Senate.

[plumbine]

national

[darkally]

hm..."regain status"...this must imply they admit they don't have much of a role in the national government right now

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Democrats vs. Greens, that's a two party system I would support.

[allgoo19]

Maybe we are looking at the beginning of the end of the party. It's not going to be easy to cut the tie with right wing extremists. This happened in the past. In fact, the repub party was created by replacing another party.

They should do it sooner or else.

[truescorpio14]

Its not the same for republicans to moderate themselves like democrats did, there are no equivalents of rush Limbaugh in the democratic party so we can moderate as we desire without worrying about some loud blowhard calling us DINOS. The next few years are going to be real tough for the republicans double that if the economy improves, triple it if we are not attacked by terrorists, they will lose SOOOOO many talking points Obama will steamroll them np with that charismatic smile of his.

[press1500]

yeah, here is an idea from an independent... your party is waaaayyyyy to far to the right. You need moderate platforms to move into the future. You are a party of Old White Men, and old superstitious beliefs. You are losing by attrition. you need some fresh blood and fresh ideas, embrace diversity...

[MeanieMuff]

Exactly... and we are not talking about that little drama queen pop tart Palin either... It has to be someone who is actually capable of running this country.

[press1500]

lol... well said

[burntonion05]

I tell you we are working really hard to crash this economy right into the ground so we can once again be the National Party.

--Repub Party

[MichaelConrad1D]

Sorry "Big John," but repeatedly using the phrase "national party" doesn't automatically make you one.

Effin morans.

[JerezJulio]

yea, right

[iamwil]

I love to see John Thune as jumpy as he should have been all these months now, exceeding that level.

Tough shit Thune, and you too Cornyn.

Ha ha.

[allensbriarpatch]

This is the party of ideas?

[maineladydi]

You keep telling yourself that...Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[brimultimedia]

Does this include their New FAX program an promotion? Yeah Fax Machines are today's trend alright. Maybe they should start a telegraph campaign next. Or a Horse Shoeing contest. Or a Buggy Ride competition. I am really disappointed in what I am seeing.

[fishhead06]

By definition, extremist political parties are not competitive nationally - and yet the Republicans want to tack even further to the right? Have they got a death wish?

[thehoaxbuster]

Indeed.

[masterhook]

wow someone one from the gop side telling the truth. I know only happen one time in a blue moon but still nice

[MeanieMuff]

Ahhh maybe that is why they are pretty much doing nothing now.. they are waiting until 2010. Imagine if you went to work and said.. I know I don't have my shit together but I will by 2010 so just hang in there... LOL What a joke.

[thehoaxbuster]

Maybe because there is no congressional election until 2010. Do you expect them to get their senate/house seats right now? Get a clue.

[nitesead]

Um, hoaxbuster, are you saying they should only be working on doing a good job as a party when there is an election in progress? Is that the "clue" you want to get across?

[GBTRU]

Wow, I guess they seem to miss the memo every time they are kicked in the balls, because of the policies, ideology, and extremism their party exhibits.

[integral]

I wonder if enough of the GOP leadership has the guts and integrity to back off from the extremist, know-nothing element of the party, leaving the Hannity, Malkin, Palin adherents and aim more at the mainstream conservatives in the US.

[snarkwaupaca]

The best predictor of the future is the past. Unlikely. I expect some sort of charismatic Obama like person to come to the forefront that helps temper the more extreme factions in the party. That or 20 years in exile. ;-)

[maineladydi]

I think younger Republicans do; Megan McCain being one of them. IMO, they're their only chance in hell for survival.

[integral]

I'm a big fan of the two party system. It'd just be nice to see the Repubs move to a place where they're showing more care and more regard for the people of the US than big corporations.

[swankrecords]

Cornyn? Very funny.

[bigmoney714]

LOL
