Vanity Fair writer's BRUTAL takedown of the GOP: "They must be stopped"

64. yeah

If you feel good about it, that is great.

The GOP absolutely owns the media.

Only when they are REALLY, REALLY bad, like they were from 2000 to 2006, and how they have been this cycle, does the media move to ALMOST call it straight.

But, make no mistake, they will go home to being bitches to the GOP after November, just as they did after 2008.

Everything you note is cyclical. Rush gets beat up, but he still rules the roost. Mathews likes Obama, he liked Bush. The GOP puts up someone with some kind of appeal and we don't have Obama, he is VERY apt to be what he was from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s - the average republican boot licker.

We have made NO gains in the climate change battle - they just dig in and say it is not proven and it does not matter that it does. Same with gay rights. It just happens to have broke right for a bit now, but they WILL get the high ground on it again.

The GOP is meaner, tougher, and people over the course of the history of this planet ALWAYS buy what they sell - fear, anger, division and a boogyman.

Frankly, it is disturbing that the Rs have been THIS bad to this point, and the Ds have gotten all the breaks, and the presidential is as close as it is, and we are not looking at an even greater blowout for the Ds in the House than the Rs got last cycle.

And, sorry, the point I made about their state control stands. They play a LONG game, which has resulted in their inserting hard core right wing judges in greater numbers than even neutral judges and these people will be in office until we die. Their control at the state level gives them the ability to do voter ID laws and gerrymander districts.

Again, I get the demographics, but 08 should be a really big example.

The Rs are going nowhere.
