Yet another Republican Congressman has joined the followers of Rush Limbaugh in defying all the polls and common sense. This person is Roscoe Bartlett R-MD. Look below the fold:
Lets analyze Roscoe's comments from http://www.herald-mail.com/...
Even while outnumbered, Republicans can fight full bore for their causes. Or they can be content to watch Democrats overspend and make bad policy decisions, benefiting the GOP, Bartlett said.
Republicans causes? Hmmm, lets see, Does he mean tax breaks for the wealthiest or more tax breaks for the oil companies? More unwarranted wars from nations that dont threaten us? Or is it torture, we need more torture...
The conventional wisdom, he said, is "when your enemy is committing suicide, you shouldn’t interfere."
OK, now I get it we Progressives are the Enemy!! and we are committing suicide. I guess all the polls that said the GOP is becoming a regional party are wrong. Bartlett is looking pretty lonely in MD but thats OK.. AND we are the ENEMY? I hope he wont waterboard us...(maybe sleep deprevation instead).
"Help is on the way. Things are looking up. Arlen Specter has switched parties," Bartlett said, drawing laughter and applause.
"I’m with Rush Limbaugh," Bartlett said during his speech. "He had the courage to say that he was not going to say that he wanted Barack Obama to succeed."
"Don’t confuse wanting our country to do well and come back with wishing Barack Obama success," he added.
So I guess Limbaugh IS the Leader of this group. But, if our country is doing well in the future wont that be giving success to the President and his policies? And Bartlett wants Obama to fail too? So that is why they are the party of NO!!
