GOP, not only does America WANT THIS, but we NEED THIS. Killing jobs, PUHLEAZE. This coming from a party that WAS IN CHARGE, but did NOTHING about reforming health care AT ALL.

Folks, King Rush wants to purge many from the Republican Party (Video)

King Rush sure makes the Republicans tow his line in D.C. We saw Cantor and others launch a listening tour this weekend, only to have Limbaugh state it is not a listening tour but a teaching tour. Guess what? Cantor changes his tune and goes all over TV and say it is not a listening tour! Then Limbaugh attacks the moderate republican, Colin Powell, a man respected from the right, left and the middle and tells him to basically get the hell out of the Republican Party. Then the hate just continues from that big fat blubber mouth in Florida, but hey, he is running the Republican Party!! He is their leader. Others that King Rush wants out of the Republican Party:

Colin Powell
Meghan Mccain
Olympia Snowe
Susan Collins
Arlen Specter
Arnold Schwarzenegger
John McCain
Charlie Crist

And from Keith Olbermann......

King Rush gets Eric Cantor to bow down... (Video)

Cantor repeats, "This is not a listening tour". When your party is in the tank, the public has disdain towards your party and not listening to you, tell me, "What the f*ck is it then that you are trying to do?" King Rush, continues to run the Republican Party.

Shhhhhhhh, Quiet, The GOP is on a listening tour (Video)

Rebranding time!!!!

Time to listen, for a change, to average Americans and their concerns.

Time to distance yourselves from well, yourselves and act like you care.

Time to put a real distance between yourselves and the Limbaughs in radio land.

With its party struggling to define itself, a group of prominent Republicans launched a listening tour Saturday in a bid to boost the GOP's sagging image and regroup for future elections.

Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., held a town-hall style meeting at a pizza restaurant in the Democratic suburb of Arlington, Va., to hear about people's concerns on issues from the economy and health care to the rising costs of college tuition.

"You can't beat something with nothing, and the other side has something," Bush told a group of about 100 people at the Pie-Tanza pizza parlor. "I don't like it, but they have it and we have to be respectful and mindful of that.

Jeb Bush is the Bush that should have been president, too bad his brother screwed it up for the family, for decades to come.

It was the first meeting of the GOP group National Council for a New America, which was created to rebrand the party's image. The meeting comes after a bad week in which Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter announced he was switching to the Democratic party and Democrat Scott Murphy won a close U.S. House race in a GOP district in upstate New York.

An Associated Press-GfK poll released in April shows that Democrats outnumber Republicans by 46 percent to 28 percent, including those leaning toward either party.

The national council, which plans listening sessions in other cities, also includes Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Sen. John McCain. Republican aides on Capitol Hill disclosed the group this past Wednesday just before Obama started a news conference to mark his first 100 days in office. The group is partly highlighting their differences with the Republican National Committee's political strategy.

Where's Miss Sarah on this list? Don't see her name, anywhere in sight. Ah, maybe after 2008, Katie Couric and all her family garbage out the GOP decided not to listen to Alaska, after all.

Eric Cantor blasting Obama on the Today Show and oh, where is the Republican plan? (Video)

Eric Cantor is an adequate dodge ball player. He can not answer any questions about the Republican Plan. He is now worried about the trillions of dollars on the backs of our children, but certainly was not concerned while giving the previous administration a blank check to spend us to where we are at. Remember he is the same individual that Lawrence O'Donnell expediently took down on morning joe or is it morning joke? Finally, it has got to be hard to go on these shows with absolutely NOTHING TO SAY. Cantor on C-Span, here. Why this is pointed out is that he allowed a caller to say atrocious things about President Obama, while sitting there smirking. Again, this is why people have walked away from the far right wing part of the Republican Party.

Capitol Hill's "OUTRAGE" is Bullshit....Follow the money....

We have been witnessing all the RAGE, OUTCRY, ANGER, being whipped up in a damn frenzy on the Hill. The Republicans and some concerned trolling Democrats have been running to the nearest microphone with their RAGE.

So, as in all bullshit frenzy, money is either the root of all evil or a tool, if used effectively to give these political gasbags a cup of STFU. Here we have these politicians so enraged, but taking bailout out money, the taxpayers money for their political coffers. Does this smell of utter bullshit?

There was plenty of outrage on Capitol Hill last week over the executive bonuses paid out by AIG after getting federal bailout money. But another money trail could make voters just as angry: the campaign dollars to members of Congress from banks and firms that have received billions via the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

While a few big firms, such as Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase, have curtailed their campaign giving, others are quietly doling out cash to select members of Congress, particularly those who serve on committees that oversee TARP. In recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, the political action committee for Bank of America (which got $15 billion in bailout money) sent out $24,500 in the first two months of 2009, including $1,500 to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and another $15,000 to members of the House and Senate banking panels. Citigroup ($25 billion) dished out $29,620, including $2,500 to House GOPWhip Eric Cantor, who also got $10,000 from UBS which, while not a TARP recipient, got $5 billion in bailout funds as an AIG "counterparty." "This certainly appears to be a case of TARP funds being recycled into campaign contributions," says Brett Kappell, a D.C. lawyer who tracks donations. (A spokesman for Cantor did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Hoyer said it's his "policy to accept legal contributions.")

Eric Cantor has been all over TV slamming the Obama Administration, in angst and awe over bailing these corporations out, just in utter OUTRAGE of AIG, but takes money from bailout institutions? Is the pot calling the kettle yet? Oh, and if you think Hoyer and Cantor are the ones just being called out? Don't worry; the list will soon roll out on all these hypocrites.

Eric Cantor put on blast by Lawrence O'Donnell from morning joe (video)

Lawrence O'Donnell is another one of those on television that can craft a question that is hard to wiggle out of not answering. He was not a writer, producer for the acclaimed television series The West Wing, for nothing.

Michael Steele on CNNs D.L. Hughley and Eric Cantor on This Week with George Stephanopoulous distancing themselves from Rush Limbaugh (Video)

Many Republicans, if you listened to the Sunday Chatter, tried their hardest to denounce or distance themselves from the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh was the closing speaker at CPAC this weekend. He was supposed to speak for 20 minutes but went on for over a hour. The movement of many Republicans to move against Limbaugh is quite simple, polling numbers. The Republican Party is being viewed as not wanting to work with Barack Obama, being shown to be the party of NO, and is being framed as following the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh. You can view Rush Limbaugh's speech to CPAC here.
