I feel particularly betrayed given my role in creating the ‘controversial’ ads which got Sax elected in the first place.

Good point! Just two years ago, the Huffingtonandpuffington was caliming what great ratings NPR was getting.

If Nazi Propaganda Radio is getting the good ratings Zsa Zsa’s crew claims, they don’t need the federal “government” to borrow money from China to fund them anymore.

Murky Kowski, “Playgirl” Scotty Brown, Susan Vodka Collins...Richie Lugar...Gregg “I almost worked for Obama” Judd?

Every time I see Alligator Arms McAmnesty support Obama, I want to pull every dime from the RNC and start a new party, the TEA Party, not Democrat-Lites.

I loathe the RINOs.

You know, today has been a disgusting and disappointing day on so many fronts (and here I'm only talking about Republicans). To wit:

Baner (I'm not even going to try and spell his name right) rolls over and sadly takes many Tea Party freshmen with him by voting for (and passing) continuing resolution...

MurCowSki (I'm not even going to try and spell her name right) openly supports Planned Parenthood. If only this had been the position of Lisa's mother.

Saxby Shameless (Sadly, I think I spelled his name correctly) wants to continue to fund NPR. I don't know, maybe he'll be getting his own show.

The Republican party is weak-kneed and wobbly at best. Right now I can count on one hand the number of Senators who can be counted on to hold to conservative ideals. The House has maybe twenty.

But rest easy you weak and wobbly ones, the New York Times loves you and no doubt you will now be invited to some great parties there in D.C.

I voted for this RINO POS! His office will be hearing from me. What in the hell is going on in the Republican party? They don’t give a crap about the people that elected them.

Hidden RINOs rise went called upon! take and names my fellow patriots - RINOs are a majority in GOP, hence the total fear of Palin, because she doesn’t have hidden ghost to be controlled with!

   Funding NPR just isn't a legitimate government function. It's just one of many organizations that should be de-funded. The Departments of Education, Commerce, Agriculture and many more should all be defunded.

  Maybe Saxby listens to Car Talk, but I really think that the good shows will do well privately.

You’ve got it right my friend.

The Tea Party sent some good people to Washington in this last election but that still makes the rest RINO’s.

Many of the new members from upstate New York and here in Pennsylvania are establishment moderate insiders.

This guy is an idiot. NPR will cheerfully continue to destroy him simply because he pretends to be an R.
