WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat who sits with Democratic caucus, said Tuesday that he would not rule out running for re-election in 2012 as a Republican.
REALLY?! NO SHIT. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED IT, IF SOMEONE HADN'T TOLD US. LIEBERMAN YOU F*CKING COWARD... YOU NEED TO BE WITH THE REPTILES. GOOD RIDDANCE F*KEFACE
WE HAVE NEVER AGREED MORE WITH AN ELEVATOR. LISTEN AS AN INANIMATE OBJECT BLOWS THE LID OFF OF JOE LIEBERF*CKS EXPLANATION. 13 SECS IN...BLAH BLAH BLAH...EPIC FAIL. WE LOVE IT. ROFL!!!!
theGOPisDEAD sat back and watched the protesters descend on our nation's capitol this weekend, to protest against President Obama's agenda in the form of the 9/12 Project. We couldn't help but to contemplate the irony of the situation.
The whole effort has been touted as a grass roots movement, "of the people", they say. It's been reported by the likes of Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, and others that the protesters are regular everyday working class citizens standing up for their rights.
Which prompted us to recall a dramatic documentary film, The American Ruling Class (2007), written by Lewis H. Lapham and directed by John Kirby that "explores our country’s most taboo topic: class, power and privilege in our nominally democratic republic."[1] It seeks to answer the question, "Does America have a ruling class?" To which we wondered, of those individuals who protested a president trying to bring healthcare to a segment of the population in desperate need; were they part of a ruling class, and drowning out the voices of those whom it would benefit most? Are they the voices of Glenn Beck who had found his niche in the form of FEAR for profit? He is good, we'll give him that. He knows how to plug into the darkest, most sinister depths of a persons fear and rally them around his message. He will take a windfall profit of their hard earned $$$$ this year. He is a great success...a profiteer to the detriment of others.
So who were the protesters? Were they just angry citizens that earn a minimum wage and are purely against the ideology of the other side, because clearly they would benefit under a single payer system? Were they people that have plenty of everything? Healthcare? A nice home? A retirement? A trust fund? Who were they?
We scanned the sea of pale white faces, and drooping belt lines with belly fat lunging over like whale blubber, and saw a homogeneous collage of fearful, paranoid citizenry. Clearly not hungry. Clearly happy. Cleary not impoverished. What we saw had an unwavering constant flowing through the streets shouting esoteric chants that can only be mistaken as unreasonable, and full of blissful ignorance.
"To what end, the genius of the Wall Street banks and the force of the Pentagon's colossal weapons? Where does America discover the wisdom to play with its wonderful toys?" The possible answers move beyond the hollow category of party affiliation and into the heart of American Oligarchy itself.
I think it's utterly grotesque that either side is using our elderly as pawns in the healthcare reform debate. Both sides may argue policy, however certain principles in my mind is irrefutable. There has to be a sense of humanity as we negate one another's ideas, philosophies, and opinions. There is no civility left in our struggle to come to a genuine consensus. At the end of the day, how we treat our elderly, and less fortunate may be the greatest measure of any society. As I see it now...we are at an all time low.
A sad commentary indeed.
Hmmm that is a very serious and contemplative thought. Maybe far too serious for this blog.
Okay in theGOPisDEAD style:
STFUwith the bulls**t lies and manipulation. Fear mongering to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end is weak, heartless, and cowardice in the eyes of the Cherokee people.

Ah, another day, another opportunity for freedom to shine its bright light across the USa. In fact, my elected congressional representative, as a way to inform me of fact over fiction, has been kind enough to host a town hall meeting to discuss the importance of overhauling the health care system. I really need to go to this. I hear government doctors are going to be prescribing single bullets instead of penicillin. That doesn't seem right!
Much like the GOP, even the idea of a rational, thoughtful Q & A session has devolved into mindless, reactionary obturation. It was bad enough when the zombie hordes fell into a lock-step rush to war under the guise of freedom, but this time the organ-feeders are organized thanks to the concerned and enlightened efforts of P.R. firms representing health and insurance industries (you know, those entities that exist to make money off of you, not actually heal you...)
It was just a matter of time before the feeding frenzy got violent, but why was I not surprised to see it get ugly? I'm talking Invasion-of-Poland ugly...
The tenor of some of the debates has become extreme. Ms. Pelosi has accused people at recent protests of carrying signs associating the Democratic plan with Nazi swastikas and SS symbols, and some photographs showing such signs have been posted on the Web.
On Thursday, the talk show host Rush Limbaugh said the administration’s health care logo was itself similar to a Nazi symbol.
So what's worse? Egregious scare-tactics based on falsifications or objectionable hate-speak in the guise of concerned civic duty? Thanks to Americans for Prosperity you can have it both ways!
"Adolf Hitler issued six million end of life orders--he called his program the final solution. I kind of wonder what we're going to call ours."
The speaker then compares Democratic health care reform efforts to the murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot, and advises his audience to "go to offices of members of Congress and put the fear of god in them."
When someone starts a blog, the intent is to present information others may find intriguing, relevant, frustrating, informative, or down right cool enough to keep your collective asses engaged.
We here at theGOPisDEAD started this particular amalgamation to prove the "Grand Old Party" with "OLD" as F*** being the optimal word here is kaput, over, done, fried, crispy, and a vacant shell of a party not worthy of recognition. We find their ideas stagnate, tired, backwards, boorish, mean, and down right irrelevant...and frankly a little re'TARD.
