  • RNC WANTS TO END ALL MAVERICK REFORMS NOW: Nine days have passed since the defeat of John McCain — whose name your editor has just typed for the first time all week, huzzah — and the RNC already is suing to overturn the ban on soft money donations to political parties, a.k.a. “John McCain’s thing.” It really must have been torture for these guys, having to pretend for many months that they didn’t hate WALNUTS! (Oh gosh, that felt so good to type.) [Marc Ambinder]

Oh those fools. Evolve or die! You think going back to soft money will save you when you’re peddling the same shit you’ve been peddling since Nixon?

I’M WALNUTS!

Yes, well. You know what they say about more money. It leads to more problems. And the more money we come across, the more problems we see.

“…no one is really paying any attention to the RNC’s internal doings.”

That sounds gross.

Schadenfreude….it’s not just for the bitters, Jim.

“Look guys — we either have to overturn these campaign finance laws, or else field a candidate who actually understands the bills he writes. Um — okay, let’s call the lawyers.”

Ha ha ha. What will they do with Grampa Grumpy now? Put a blanket on his lap, stick him in the corner in front of the television, and get on with the business of makin’ law.

What happened to all that shit they were saying just yesterday in Miami about “using the internet” to increase grassroots donations like Obama’s “largest interest group” in the history of American politics??? Oh yea…it was just shit…

I heard Caribou spoke today on the future on the GOP, and she vomited out her stump speech again. Reporters were astounded. “Obama pallin’ around with terrorists….blah blah blah.” Call a fucking ambulance, and be sure it’s equipped with a straightjacket and some chloroform.

How could anyone say this ISN’T a MAVERICK move? Walnuts has mavericked himself so deeply within the GOP that they are saddling up and going MAVERICK against him.

What MAVERICKS!

[re=176537]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: So long as they continue to erratically defy logic and common sense, the Republicans can call themselves a Party of Mavericks…

Are they also going to flip on his flop-flip on torture and flop on his flip-flop on amnesty?

Adios Juan!

Senator Jeffrey Knight November 13, 2008 at 10:53 pm

Brilliant move, GOP. At the same time that your party has lost control of all levers of power, you want to reinstate the ability of wealthy corporations to gain access to the levers of power (that are now controlled by your adversaries) by simply using their wealth to help them gain re-election? Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Yay! McCain-Feingold is dead and it’s Obama that did it! Karl Rove, you evil genius.
