If you’re too unhealthy or pale, GTFO!!!!

Would explain their stance on health-care.

Hay-oh!

BEARS are carnivorous.

Bears aren’t carnivorous, that implies that they’re restricted to meat. They’re demivorous, they eat GODS.

In the wake of the Democrats’ loss in the 2004 elections, Howard Dean became head of the DNC implemented a “50 state strategy” intended both to compete against all republicans everywhere as well as to attract new voters to the Democratic party side.

By contrast, the Republican party in 2009 seems to be upset at the idea of encouraging more people to vote for them.

Looks like it’s going to be a loooong time in the wilderness.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, Robert. Don’t be so frigging stupid.

Geese aren’t carnivorous. They’re terrorists who bring down planes.

Wow, a major political party with a bouncer at the door. That should translate into an overwhelming surge of electoral success.
And what consititutes ‘moderate Republican’ in Texas? Condemned prisoners are allowed a cigarette before being thrown to the carnivorous geese?

I think he’s absolutely right. The GOP shouldn’t be like a whorehouse.

It should be like a truck stop restroom.

Only well, off-white guys need apply.

If you’re too unhealthy or pale, GTFO!!!!

Eggshell okay?

Oliver, I can’t help myself. I need to re-punctuate one sentence of yours:

Only well, off-white guys need apply.

If you’re too unhealthy or pale, GTFO!!!!

“secessionism is patriotism. Kay is working for George Soros”-David Carney

Even if it wasn’t a gender-based attack, the “become a whorehouse” portion of Carney’s (otherwise innocuous) statement is still over-the-top, especially coming from the strategist of a prominent politician.

“Apparently Kay Bailey Hutchinson is taking the statement as some sort of gender-based attack, although to my ears it sounds more like yet another argument about GOP keeping itself pure (ie: Only well off white guys need apply).”

I think he definitely meant the latter, but the former probably played a role in his choice of words.
