Hey, It Worked For The Government
The folks of the Idaho Republican Party thought that the government shutdown was swanky and smooth. They wanted to shut down something, too.
They picked themselves.
No, seriously, the Idaho Republican Party shut themselves down at their state convention. They spent three days in Boise and accomplished nothing. Okay, so accomplishing nothing is a byproduct of Republicanism, but this one was a real doozie.
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), the convention chairman, ended up bringing the meeting to an end before delegates could elect a new state party chair or vote on any party platform amendments, as they had set out to do.
“This is as low as the party can go,” said Labrador, according to the AP. “We have hit bottom. I think the party has no choice but to go up from here.”
The turmoil doesn’t bode well for Labrador, who announced his intent to run for House majority leader last week.
Hell, getting everybody to fight with each other so nothing gets done puts him the the damn lead for Cantor’s job.
Republicans: putting a halt to humanity!
Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.
Once again the GOP proves that it is great at blocking governing and very poor at actually doing the job. This seems to be true at all levels and for all scopes of governing.
1The concept of assuming the truth of the opposite of what you are trying to prove, and then following logically from there to a clearly sad, deceiving ending, is called reductio ad absurdum.
Assuming that you could govern a country reasonsably by empowering a coalition of strong-willed but weak-minded mulish lemmings is reaching the critical mass for a thermo-nulear explosion of reductio ad absurdum.
What a shock this is! Who could have predicted that if you empower a short bus full of mental deficients by telling them they are all Ubermenschen, that eventually they’d want to drive? And that once they got the wheel, they’d take the whole thing over a cliff?
But the last thing you’ll see staring mournfully out the back window of the Idaho GOP short bus as it disappears into the Snake River Canyon is the startled Labrador Deceiver, reduced to absurdity.
2JJ, I love you to death.

The sign says: PLEASE STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS.
PLEASE……..
THANKS.
3Looks like the wingnut party oughta build a fence around Cuba and save themselves from the Rauls and Cruzes of the world.
4Never could figure this guy out due to his background and his attitude toward immigration reform. It just does not compute, but heck! It is also the epitome of I’ve got mine and I’ll be cow kicked if I ever, but ever let you get yours!
5This was obviously the fault of President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, liberals…
After all, being a conservative means never having to say you’re sorry, or accept responsibility for one’s actions.
6They not only hate Democrats, they hate each other. They are as unwilling to compromise with each other as they are with us. These blind lemmings are driving our nation to ruin. We’re all on the bus and they’re going to drive us off the cliff.
7Nothing can be done about climate change, immigration, expanded Medicaid in Repub states, women’s rights, student debt, veteran’s treatment, or anything else which is in dire need of attention as long as they obstruct. Only a Democratic controlled Congress can get them out of the driver’s seat.
Republicans: putting a screeching halt to anything even vaguely resembling humanity or decency.
8Yup, yup and, by golly, YUP to all of the above!!
9Most peculiar.
10Looks more like a labradoofus than a Labrador.
112014, either the electorate is seriously sound asleep, or more than Cantor are about to feel the wrath of their 15% approval rating in Congress.
Whatever the pundits say, the GOP is seriously divided. Please, please, please invite Howard Dean to help Democratic candidates needing a boost. Let’s turn America Blue!
12Blue is a good color if it stands for good policies. Right now red ain’t such a good color. PKM how do we get Howard Dean to help? Be specific.
13Idaho has long been known as a wonderland for secessionists, militias, anti-government extremists, and so on. This is not really surprising.
14The GOP can perhaps best be described as a combination of anarchy and high school bully.
15This isn’t meant for Mama to see.
He knew their party hit rock bottom when their credit card was declined…..
By an escort agency.
16Marge Wood, Howard Dean is terrific at organization and fund raising. While he was DNC Chairman his “50 state strategy,” was a tactical success for Democrats.

17We have met the enemy and it is ……in our best interests to blame Obama and libs. We are wingnuts. We live in a state of denial.
