Who could have believed that Repukes could get WORSE??

Is it just me or are they bigger douche bags now than they were two weeks ago?? For chrissakes, I cannot say DIDDLY on my FB wall without them all going nuts. And just TRY to imply that Hostess going out of business has nothing to do with Barack Obama, or that he isn't after their guns or that the guy that started Papa John's has made a gazillion dollars selling crappy pizza and could stand to kick a little back to his employees and....HOLY SHIT!! They start howling and gnashing and freaking the fuck out.

God, what a bunch of babies.

2. At this moment they are trying to prevent Obama momentum...it's really pretty simple

It's no surprise to me. They did very much the same thing to Clinton, whose wardrobe issues gave them leverage.

Obama has given them no such leverage. These made up attacks are going to look more and more desperate as weeks go on.

5. Psychologist Leon Festinger predicted this

Festinger wrote a book called Cognitive Dissonance about how people cope when they are exposed to ideas contrary to ideas they value. To examine this he joined groups predicting the end of the world at a specific time. When it failed to happen the group typically would increase its efforts to attract believers in their crackpot notions - because a new believer helps bolster your now threatened beliefs. So too Repubs faced with rejection of their ideas have more need now to suppress those with contrary ideas. Their heightened efforts to suppress you prove they feel threatened. We should just feel sorry for their suffering. It must be horrible to be a Republican right now.

in the last stages of terminal brain syphilis. They are mentally gone, lashing out at and biting at anything that comes within snapping distance and will soon be eating themselves and each other.

18. Their true nature comes out when they lose.

What they are like during a campaign is just a put-on.
We see who they really are when they lose an election.
Remember Bob Dornan's spectacular meltdown when he lost to Loretta Sanchez...
