Edwin Meese III

Firedoglake informs us as of June 10, 2009 that the repubs are receiving a 34% approval rating among the American People.  Now mind you, less than 25% of those polled call themselves repubs.  But FDL goes on to say:

34% is lower than Americans rate many countries we're constantly told by wingnuts that we're about to go to war with any minute, including Putin's Russia, Chavez's Venezuela and Communist China.

But the silver lining for the GOP is they're still slightly more popular (34%-27%) than the Palestinian Authority. http://firedoglake.com/2009/06/10/new-gallup-poll-finds-republican-party-less-popular-than-russia-china-venezuela/

So what is a mother to do?  This is the party that was going to stay in control for generations according to karl the rover.

Here rover, here rover, speak rover, lay down and die rover.

But now it appears that new geniuses have taken the reins of the new party of despair and desperation?  Yes, new titans of politics that will firmly guide the  propaganda machine for the capitalist oligarchy that either owns or controls everything, everywhere in this country.  And new strategies for attacking the Party of the People; not just the same ole 'Democrat Party' rap.

Prey upon the underdog heartstrings of the voters.

John Stewart reported last night that:

Earlier this week Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) tweeted:

"Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House."

John Culberson (R-Tex.) did the same, referencing an appropriations bill debate:

"Oppressed minorities includeHouseRepubs: We are using social media to expose repression such as last night's D clampdown shutting off amends"

And David Dreier (R-Calif.) (who apparently doesn't know that Twitter is the place to make inappropriate analogies) said out loud:

"I wonder if there isn't more freedom on the streets of Tehran right now than we are seeing here."   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/19/daily-show-mocks-republic_n_217833.html

Iran is a country of seventy million people living under the tyranny of a religious oligarchy with half that population relegated to a semi human status; most living in the most abject of poverty.  Of course this status had a great deal to do with the actions of the West including the good ole USA.  And tens of thousands of people are attempting to stand up to this oligarchy under threat of death.

And the repubs have decided to compare their minority status in both Houses of Congress to the plight of these freedom loving protesters. 

Yeah that ought to work!!

When all else fails attack the media.

Huffpo reports:

Fox News has been full of complaints over ABC's plan to air a news special entitled "Questions for the President: Prescription for America," during which President Barack Obama will field questions on his plans for health care reform. Various Fox personalities have complained that the access ABC is getting is "unprecedented" and that "journalism is dead." But yesterday, objectively demonstrating the fatuousness and hypocrisy of Fox's claims was done so effortlessly and completely, that they'd have been well-advised to reconsider whining about it.

As Keith O. reported last night, karl the rover (here rover, here rover, jump through the hoop rover--oh and quit looking like your about to kiss me everytime you open that fascist mouth of yours) has set up the same type of exclusive interview at the White House for Fox when w the idiot reigned.

Send out the best spokesman you can find to represent your interests.

"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," he said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."

Government does not create wealth," Bush said. "The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States."

In a recent speech in Michigan, Bush defended his actions in office but did not reference the current administration's policy. I didn't like it when a former president criticized me, so therefore I am not going to criticize my successor," he said at the time. "I wish him all the best."  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/18/bush-breaks-silence-goes_n_2172...

That's right. They sent out their favorite son once again. The kid who burned down the barn, broke the irrigation system, spent all the reserved savings, killed the neighbor's dog and ran over the sheriff. Yeah, the people are thirsty for the tainted water that motherf....er is selling.

Make sure that the Party of Lincoln looks more and more like the Dixiecrats in the forties.

So who does the party of hope for Wall Street, Insurance Companies and racists send out to attack the first Hispanic Nominee to the United States Supreme Court?

In their battle against Obama's first Supreme Court nominee, Republicans in Congress have turned to an old hand. Ed Meese, the Reagan-era attorney general and conservative firebrand, has been playing a behind-the-scenes role in organizing GOP opposition to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor.

Meese was hired before Sotomayor was chosen. According to the Washington Post, which broke the story, he coordinated with Republican Senators on how best to plan for the nomination.

Policy tilted heavily conservative under Meese's influence as well. In January 1982, he helped guide the Reagan administration's decision to reverse a policy that removed tax exemptions from schools that discriminated on the basis of race. "We do not want IRS bureaucrats setting social policy," he reportedly said.

But Meese was known above all for his unbending belief that the conservative movement needed to change the culture of the Supreme Court. He famously declared in 1985 that judges should be "expected to resist any political effort to depart from the literal provisions of the Constitution." Later, he would suggest that it was within the power of the president to circumvent Supreme Court decisions.

"Such decisions," Meese said, "do not of themselves establish the supreme law of the land, as that phrase is known, that is binding on all persons and parts of government henceforth and forever more. HuffPo http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/19/ed-meese-far-right-reagan_n_217954.html

Another old white racist prick. That's who!!!

This new party of the wealthy and powerful has finally found its legs.
