The GOP’s Awesome Campaign Slogan for 2006

Republican congressman Bob Ney on the criminal investigation into his dealings with admitted Republican criminal Jack Abramoff:

Embattled Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) said Thursday he will run for re-election even if he is indicted for his connections to disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

In an interview with The Hill, Ney said, “I m running — if I m indicted, I m running.”

    Definitly a different tone then a politician taking a “Sherman”

    Lets see. Rove, with a relatively weak candidate, engineers two election victories over the liberals ‘best and brightest’ and Oliver, whistling his way down the railroad tracks toward the ever enlarging light, thinks his election management skills are caca. Yeah, buddy!

    BTW, anybody know if Cong. Jefferson, D/La (now who would ever think a La. Democrat would be corrupt or incompetent) has been arrested?

    Are you Libs really that far gone that you can’t see the inherent problem on basing your campaign around ethics charges when your Party is fronted by Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd?

  4. midderpidge says:

    MMMMM…. The party of Kenneth Lay.

    Dugger;

    Are you ploughing the fields with Limbaugh?

    I am shocked, shocked to find there is corruption going on.

    Anyhew, I say get rid of ALL the lying cheating bastards,
    WTFTA!

    And I think you know, that I know, despite your seeming
    philosophical acceptance of corruption as a perennial
    fact of life, that it pisses you off just as much as it does me.

    Ollie has taken to expunging my posts.

    That of course is his right.

    The funny thing is, he is particularly sensitive to the ones that suggest that most of the stuff he posts here is shameless toady’ing up to the democratic party, in hopes of a job in some future (FAR in the future I imagine) democratic administration.

    I guess I am getting a little too close to home eh Ollie? Not all that happy to see your true motivations in print….you just want the Obermeisters in the Party to know that you are a good soldier and “on message”

    Kinda pathetic Ollie, kinda pathetic…..

  7. You guys are like really bad parrots for some pirate.

    Squawk. Ted Kennedy! Squawk. Bill Clinton! Squawk. Robert Byrd. Squawk. The Republican party is all getting hauled off to jail and the GOP isn’t willing to be honest about it.

    Dems have shunned Jefferson, they’ve circled the wagons around DeLay, Libby, etc. Just like the mob.

  8. Semanticleo says:

    Just like the mob.

    And as soon as the plea deals start you will see this conservative ‘unity’
    come apart like a wet newspaper. It will be another ‘Valachi Papers”

    That’s sort of like me saying that the Republican party is fronted by Pat Robertson and Trent Lott.

    Wrong thread, Dugger, but it’s not Rove’s election management skills that are caca, it’s the crap that comes out of his mouth. His election management skills are satanically effective.

    Pedro: grow the fuck up.

    ian

    You must be some kind of Hodaddy who perls on takeoff and then
    dumps the wave each time he tries to stand up.

    Try surfing another, more appropritate wave suited to your skills

  11. ian says:

    The left is riding on the “culture of corruption” wave just like they rode on the Valerie Plame “leak” wave. The last one crashed and almost destroyed the party, until this came about. When this is all said and done and this wave crashes, the Democratic party will be no more than a few people.

  12. SaveFarris says:

    The difference, of course, is that Republicans of 2006 aren’t running on the “Holier than Thou” platform like the Dems are.

    (Yes, “Restoring Honesty & Integrity to the WH” was used in 2000, but consider the opponent! Mr. No Controlling Legal Authority himself.)

  13. Wilbur says:

    The difference, of course, is that Republicans of 2006 aren t running on the  Holier than Thou

    They would if they could, but they can’t.

    Kind of sad for a party whose main appeal to a lot of it’s base is it’s stand on “values”. Those folks aren’t likely to vote Dem, but Unca Karl may have a harder time getting them out to vote this time.

    Then again, “vaules” to a lot of Republicans means making sure people don’t enjoy sex too much. Lying, stealing, greed, deception: who cares?

  14. Semanticleo says:

    They have continually run on the “Holier than Thou” platform and now
    they are going to have to a “Jimmy Swaggart” and weep crocodile
    tears while they beg for forgiveness from the electorate, not propound
    the self-serving “It’s a bipartisan scandal”.

  15. Bushwacked says:

    cleo,
    Im not sure the republicans will ever have a Jimmy Swaggart moment. The only way they are going to change is have their butts kicked out of power. This bunch is prime for the taking if only the other side can get their message through the din of talking point parrots in the media who are continuously regurgitating their spin. One need only look at the latest dispersion from the W Post.

  16. Bushwacked says:

    Saw the last part but missed that one. Ill check it out.

  17. Semanticleo says:

    Bushwaked;

    Did you see MTP?

    Russeteater opened to Barack Obama with “Isn’t this a bipartisan
    scandal.” Email the asshole MTP@NBC.com

  18. Semanticleo says:

    Could John McCain be tninking about ‘08?

    This FoxNews interview would indicate this is his exchange of gunfire
    per Hillary’s recent public statements. He certainly has remained tarnish
    free (to date) in the Abramoff deal, and this is a pretty in-Bush’s-face
    position.

    Wilbur,

    As Alex Trebek would say, you are correct.
