I’ve said many times: “The more things change, the more GOPers don’t.” Here’s three examples of just that.
In 1994, Newt “Is My Wife Well Enough To Divorce Yet?” Gingrich came up with some slogans he packaged and sold as “The Contract On With America.” In September 2010, GOPer Minority Leader (thank God!) John Boehner cut and pasted from it and repackaged that same old (stuff) as the “Pledge To America.” Let’s look!

In California, The “new” GOPer candidate for Governor is saying the exact same (stuff) the old GOPer candidate did. Let’s look!

WOW!!! They titled that YouTube “Echoes” for a reason, yes?
And then locally, as described in full detail here, disgraced GOPer Mayor Phil Young’s 2006 campaign website was blatantly cut and pasted to GOPer Endorsed candidate Donna Azarian’s 2010 campaign website.
This is from Phil Young’s 2006 “Values” webpage:
Efficient Government: Eden Prairie is a very-well run city. I want to make it even better….
This is on the GOPer-Endorsed Azarian, 2010 “Issues” webpage:
Fiscal Responsibility — Eden Prairie is a very-well run city. I want to make it even better….
More? But of course!!!
Young, circa 2006:
…While every community should take steps to capture its past, our residents have told us that spending tax dollars on historical preservation is not a priority. The City Council should honor the community opinions which it has solicited.
GOPer Azarian, today:
…While every community should take steps to capture its past, our residents have told us that spending tax dollars on historical preservation is not a priority. The City Council should honor the community opinions which it has solicited.
And there’s more, of course, as described in full detail here – with screenshots, too! Maybe I should make another YouTube….
It’s really rather pathetic. The more things change, the more the CAP (Cut And Paste) GOP doesn’t.

“Let’s Do The Time Warp Again!!!”
Jon Stewart explains the “then” and “now” – let’s look!

I guess another title for this post coulda been:
“The more things change, the more GOPers don’t” Oh, well…

Oh, and here’s GOPer Michael Steele in last July’s installment of: You Couldn’t Trust The GOP Then, You Still Can’t Now, And Tomorrow Won’t Be Any Different.
I swear, GOPers hope and pray people don’t pay attention. I do, and if you’re reading this, you do, too.
So, get involved, and GET OUT THE VOTE!

…the YouTube after his, isn’t funny. At all.
I’m a big fan of mockery, ridicule, and scorn, and no one does it better than Jon Stewart on The Daily Show – let’s look!
Unfortunately, there are things happening these days, that aren’t funny. At all. Blue man in a Red district just put up a post “featuring” the picture of a swastika spray painted on Congressman David Scott’s (D-GA) District Office sign.
Those that are paying attention realize this isn’t the first instance of rightwingers using the swastika, Hitler, SS, etc. I noted the following YouTube on CrooksAndLiars.com – and it isn’t funny, either.
There’s a powder keg, with a short fuse. And today’s GOP leadership is sending out sparks. If one of those sparks catches, well……you can be sure, the GOP will blame it on us.
