Abel gives a "thumbs down!" AP
The Republican Party recently unveiled it’s new line of thinking about how to win voters back under the Republican umbrella. It is a two-pronged approach.
One: Let the economy melt down, resulting in chaos and suffering.
Two: Kick everybody out of the party.
Now I know this seems counter-intuitive, yet you bleeding heart liberals don’t seem to grasp the utter genius of this approach. I could explain it to you all in detail, but again, your small-minded “Democrat” way of thinking won’t even come close to comprehending the all-encompassing wisdom and ephemeral truths tied up in this way of political action. It is a strategy so well-thought out, so perfectly reasoned, that even I am not sure I comprehend the political acuity by which the greatest minds of our country came upon such a flash of brainpower.
But Billy, you may ask, if you can’t understand this way of thinking, how do you know that they are doing it? Well, I did stumble across an article related to the most intriguing politician in California… No, not the “Governator,” but moderate Republican Abel Maldonado, who was the last holdout vote to pass the California budget, and who I wrote about a few weeks back. Without passing the budget, the state would have plunged into bankruptcy and disaster would occur.
Recently, Abel revealed this about the California Republican Party:
“Well, they wouldn’t say it in public, but they would sit in committee hearings in our caucus and say, ‘You know what, Abel, why do you want to vote for this? Let’s let the state go off the cliff; let’s let the state go into bankruptcy to prove the other party was wrong all these years.’
Brilliant!
Then, when Abel held out and actually got a certain portion of the tax taken out of the bill (the 12-cent gas tax) plus some ballot measures passed, including an open primary ballot measure, how was he repaid by his party?
Maldonado lost access to party funds, and was nearly publicly reprimanded.
Also, Maldonado hate-sites have already sprouted online. There is a “Never Elect Abel Maldonado To Anything, Ever Again” Facebook page with more than 600 members. Another website is accepting donations for a “recall Maldonado” effort.
Combine this with Rush Limbaugh saying he wants the President “to fail,” and that anyone who was critical of Bobby Jindal’s speech should be kicked out of the Republican party, and I think we see a trend.
You don’t see how this strategy is brilliant? Well, if you can’t see it, I’m not going to explain it to you. You’re obviously not “pure” enough to earn my Enlightenment. Get out of here! I don’t want you reading my column! I don’t care if I get paid by the page –view!
I'll leave you with these goodies:

Good article. The GOP, as led around by media scum from Limpbutt to Hammity has FINALLY been
exposed for the brain dead and flatulent mass of load-in-the-pants waddlers they've also been. Somewhere on the phylogenetic scale between slug and sponge, if rains were gasoline, these people wouldn't sport the fumes to fire a _issant's go cart 1/32 of the
way around the inside of a Cheerio. They're entertainment. :-) M

So the idea that California bankrupted themselves with lame ass Al Gorevera global warming policies, unsustainable welfare programs, money siphoning EPA standards, and an unwillingness to do offshore drilling while crippling the taxpayer makes the Democratic strategy and liberal philosophy work? Both parties are retarded. Keep listening to Keith Olbermann, he's much more attuned to economic policy that Rush Limbaugh. Wake up! they are both hacks.
I suggest you read both the Federalist, and Anti-Federalist papers before you start ripping the capitalist philosophy.
Got something to say?
