Hooray, someone who won't have to put his foot in his mouth every time he speaks! </sarcasm>

In all seriousness, hopefully Norm Coleman will be able to help unite the GOP as opposed to either casting a bad light on them or dividing them.

Look at all the uptighty righty whities line up to replace Idiot Steele at the Racists National Committee. I'm sure Sore Loser Norm will find some way to stall any decision if he looks to be losing, probably will take it to court to see if his lawyers can win for him. Sorry folks but a northern whitey isn't going to fool anyone that the Racists National Committee isn't controlled by southern white racists.

It will be all right once the GOP is all white

In 2000 I recognized and became turned off by GWBush’s arrogant, punkish, self-absorbed, grossly dishonest sociopathic personality and by 2003 I had enough of Bush-Cheney being ‘puppets’ for Special Interests and the influential, powerful and extremely wealthy few who ‘pulled their strings’, provided them overt and covert support, substantial contributions and even promises for after office compensation all while Bush-Cheney arrogantly and stubbornly, with an in-your-face cockiness, dutifully served the interests of the few and gave the people only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge to deceive and manipulate. The Republican Party totally and stubbornly supported all of that and it was enough to cause me to change my registration from Republican to Undeclared Party (independent). Since then the Republican Party has boldly and belligerently continued with the same mentality, has demonstrated that they are totally focused on their political ambitions above all else, at any cost and without conscience, and that they feel they can simply take the people for granted and continually try to manipulate them with scare tactics, emotional appeals and any deception they and their supporters choose to use, as if people are just stupid and emotionally excitable pawns for their use. That has not only alienated me but also disgusted and literally offended me as I see it as an insult to intelligence and self-esteem.

I will list just some of the deceptions they boldly attempted, without any elaboration due to limited space, and assume others will recognize the arrogant and insulting, self-serving and dishonest nature of the issues. Remember: Tax cuts for the wealthy; Global Warming not a problem; Private Accounts for Social Security; Minimized/ignored warnings before 9/11; Trumped up justification for attacking Iraq; Abandoned effort in Afghanistan; Afghanistan presented as secure; False coalition with America paying 95%+; Iraqi oil money never paying for the war; Pressure put on the intelligence community; Authorized departure from Geneva Convention rules; Misrepresentations on wars to manipulate public opinion; No bid contracts to favored vendors; Responsibility for port security to Dubai Ports; Excusing the humongous deficit and growing trade deficit; Their apathetic reaction to hurricane Katrina aftermath; Blocking bringing American drugs back into the US; Exposing the CIA agent's identity; Squelching the 'wiretapping without court order' story; Falsely raising the security threat level before 2004 election; Excessive deregulation and the lack of any responsible oversight favoring a few and resulting in unchecked greed, gross dishonesty and criminal self-indulgence; Encouraging the deporting of American jobs and taxes; GWBush falsely presented as a 'born again Christian'; and since Bush-Cheney: Republican totally belligerent concentration on their political ambitions; Stubbornly obstructing and faulting all efforts to address problems; Irresponsibly withholding any bipartisan cooperation; Aggressively intimidating and coercing their representatives to force unity; Supporters organizing and sponsoring Tea Party movement, much like the ‘Swiftboat” effort, to deceptively manipulate the public; Arrogance and gross dishonesty using scare tactics and emotional appeals; yes and even subtly using both sides of racial issue, without conscience; on and on totally without guilt, with complete disregard for responsibility and always aimed to benefit only the few, their supporters and benefactors, while simply taking the public for granted.

With GWBush you could tell when he was lying by just checking to see if he was moving his lips. Now with Boehner, McConnell, Kyl, other representatives and the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and others, their offensive arrogant and stubborn demeanor, that says ‘up yours’, is their insulting effort to disguise their subterfuge. If some see that as strength, instead of recognizing it as a defensive posture and likely as close as you will ever come to seeing them admit guilt, that is a shame because the manipulation then has found victims.
