Rethuglicans

Republican bullies

I doubt if I'm the first to mention this, but I'll join in the pile on. Republicans are in full froth-mode because of some honest remarks from J.Kerry (such as calling his critics in the Republican Party "the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen.").

The Repuglies are the proverbial school-yard bully: they talk loud but say nothing, and if anyone stands up to their bluster, they run, crying foul.

Some Choice Rethug remarks have been collected here.
and don't forget this one

"We are trying to change the tones in the state capitols and turn them toward bitter nastiness and partisanship. ... Bipartisanship is just another name for date rape."
- Grover Norquist. / Molly Ivins (quote source - see Molly Ivins, related post, "How Many Fools...")

Kerry dismissed their criticism of his remark as an effort to take attention away from Bush administration policies. "They can't talk about those things because George Bush doesn't have a record to run on, he has a record to run away from. And that's what they're trying to do," Kerry said.

In Chicago, Kerry told a supporter who had urged him to take on Bush: "Let me tell you, we've just begun to fight. We're going to keep pounding. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary."
