This one speaks for itself…
And this was the week that ended the day before the election of Republican Party Chair Tony Sutton and Republican Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb.

T-Bag announces he’s out; which obviously means there’s a whole buncha republiCons in. Well, even some Republicans, too. Which begs the question: how serious are they?
It’s easy to go to various blogs and find out what various rightwingers are postulating; it’s even easier to check in with the (almost)official rightwing site (although, many bona fide RightWingNuts haven’t weighed in yet.)
It’s important to note: what you might find, might simply be “opinions.” Well, “opinions” if – and I mean “if” – the following “commentary” is considered “opinion”:

Laura Brod was one of the chief proponents of the “Rape the Taxpayers of Hennepin County to the delight of multi-billionaire Carl Pohlad”.Nobody, I mean NOBODY, in the Hennepin County GOP has forgotten her vote and defense of ripping our right to vote by referendum on the Twins stadium.
And I will take great joy in reminding my state delegate friends of this woman. (MinnesotaDemocratsExposed)
Gotta love them RightWingNuts, “right”?
“Right.” Even when they got opinions such as this:

Aside from her tax issue which will be huge, Brod will have to answer for her personal behavior if she runs. She’s – ahem – played the field. A lot.(MinnesotaDemocratsExposed)
Doncha just love “blogs” “written” and “moderated” by “gentlemen” considered “candidates” for “positions” of “authority” in today’s “Family Values” party?
But, I digress. What’s “written” is just “opinion.”
What’s needed, is analysis! And fortunately, I’m here to help!!! So, let’s take a look at domain names – taken and available and related to those considered “potential candidates” by those from the party that bows to the guy with the big cigar….
…taken:
LauraBrodForGovernor.com – taken
BrodForGovernor.com – taken
Brod2010.com – taken
LauraBrod2010.com – taken
OK, every indication is Laura “Screw Hennepin County” Brod is in!
But, what domains did her “brain(dead) trust” miss?
Well, by my unofficial and quick reconoitering:
BrodForGovernor2010.com – available!
LauraBrodforGovernor.com – available!!
Brod4governor – available!!!
Dam – what were THEY thinking??!?
Plus, they missed these:
DumpBrod.com – available!
DumpLauraBrod.com – available!!!
One would think those around “The Card Check Girl” woulda checked what’s happened up in the 6th, what with the Dump Bachmann stuff…..
Then again, has anyone ever accused Brod of bein’ “brighter than Bachmann”?
Anyway, on to the next contestent “contestant”, in the “Small Tent” Party!
SullivanForGovernor.com – taken
Sullivan2010.com – taken
Well, I guess that’s not surprising; there’s a lot of “Sullivans” in these fifty states. Let’s look a little closer:
BrianSullivan2010.com – Available!
BrianSullivanForGovernor.com – Available!!!
Gee – is Brain “Brian” – a GOP National Committeeman – so out of touch that he didn’t register his domains, before T-Bag headed for the Des Moines Register??!?
How ’bout Marty – who couldn’t wait 24 hours to dance on T-Bag’s grave “legacy”?
Seifert2010.com – taken!
SeifertForGovernor.com – taken!!!
OK, that explains the presser, less than 24 hours after T-Bag bolted for Iowa….but:
What explains this?
MartySeifert2010.com – available!
MartySeifertForGovernor.com – available!!!
Could it be, that after spendin’ all them years in the GreedOverPrinciples party, that Marty got a case of the cheaps?
You tell me.
And tell me – is Pat in?
PatAndersonForGovernor.com – available!
PatAnderson2010.com – available!!!
And all of the Rammer’s are available; then again: did anyone really think Rammer could get a state-wide GOPer endorsement, anyway?
Now, here’s the deal: Steve Sviggum is a really nice guy. Horrible policies, but: truely a nice guy.
A genuinely nice guy. Again, horrible policies, but…. I noted “Sviggum.com” was taken. So, when I found that “SteveSviggum.com” was open, I took it.
Well, I took “Sviggum2010.com” and “SviggumForGovernor.com” too, but: that’s a tangent.
I took “SteveSviggum.com” ’cause I wanted to make sure no one took it and play games with such a nice guy.
Well, “no one would play MOST games with such a nice guy.”
One never knows, eh? OTO….
…that “DumpBrod.com”?
I got a funny feeling that one would go for a right might bit more….

For some reason, Mitch Berg’s blog won’t let me sign in. And I can’t e-mail him, because he proudly boasts he’ll publicly post not only the e-mail address, but IP address, too – of anyone he sees fit any e-mail he considers “abusive”.
So, I’ll take up this example of republiCons makin’ stuff up here, on MnBlue.
Here’s the question, Rick Warren asked:
Now, that should be clear to reasonable and objective observers: Rick Warren asked “which ONE.” (CNN has it “singular”, too – but rightwingnuts don’t “trust” CNN, so I sourced it to Rick Warren first)
But even though Obama was clearly asked “which one”, reasonable people need to remember that rightwingnuts never let facts get in the way of an opportunity for a chance to jump into the gutter and go for a gratuitous smear. Here’s what Mitch Berg just posted, a little ago:
By Mitch Berg
Paul Mirengoff from Powerline’s takeaway from Mac and Barry’s go-round at Saddleback – in this case, on the candidates’ answers about their Supreme Court choices:
In any case, what’s most telling here is Obama’s unwillingness or inability to do what McCain did — identify the four (or five) Justices he obviously wouldn’t have nominated, and articulate the simple and obvious reason. Instead, Obama gave an incomplete answer coupled with an irrelevant reference to Thomas’ level of experience, a plug for his status as a “professor,” and (after prompting) a cheap shot at Roberts.(Powerline)
Read the whole thing for the context, obviously.
But this highlights how, via inexperience or (messianic) temperament, Obama’s just not ready for prime time in the “think on your feet” department. (Shot In The Dark)
Only in the rightwingnut world, is answering the question as asked (“which Supreme Court JUSTICE”) considered “inexperience or (messianic) temperament”, and worse.
Mitch Berg is simply demonstrating, to reasonable people, why reasonable people cannot trust republiCons to tell the truth — and is also demonstrating why GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples.
Reasonable people understand that when stuff has to be make up to make a point, the point isn’t worth making. Obama was asked a question; Obama answered the question as asked; but rightwingnuts make stuff up for some gratuitous cheap-shots that allegedly make a point.
Fortunately, the electorate has begun to realize that rightwingnuts make stuff up all the time, which is why the “Republican” brand has been completely trashed.
Some day, good and decent Republicans are going to reclaim their party’s leadership from the republiCons that have hijacked the once-Grand Old Party. Until then, reasonable people need to remain vigilant – as this tripe from Mitch Berg and Powerline so clearly demonstrates.
