Borger: The GOP evolution: From hawks to bean counters

Washington (CNN) - It was hard to miss, even if you weren't looking for it. The Republican Party - once identified and driven by its hawks - was morphing into a party driven by its bean counters.

The party that had accused Democrats of being soft on national security for decades was suddenly the party that wants out of Afghanistan yesterday - and isn't so sure we ought to have gone into Libya in the first place.

FULL STORY

When the true leader of the republican culture of corruption, Rush Limbaugh, complains that President Obama ordered the death of the Samali pirates holding an American captain hostage, and then is upset that President Obama gave the order to terminate bin Ladin, you know that republicans never were into national security. Republicans are soft on jobs, soft on national security, soft on getting us out of the republican near depression, soft on facts, soft on constitutional rights, soft on standing up to Wall Street, big oil, and big banks.


Let's just call this for what it REALLY is. The GOPers, the same ones that were crying about Obama doing nothing when the Libyian leader was killing his own people (note Newt's stand pre flip/flop) now are crying because he chose to do something. This is nothing new for the GOP since Obama took office in 2009, the plan is NOT to agree with this president on ANYTHING and they have united to do so. Tell me when in modern history have the Republicans been steadfast against ANY military conflict? During the early Bush years if you were against the Iraq war these right-wingers called you everything from anti-American to a Communist. It's different now because of course it's OBAMA!!


Republicans are not honorable. They haven`t been for 30 + years. They are scared, whiney and insecure.

They will lie to win and they only want to win to be in position to rape the country while nobody is looking. I hate what they stand for – because they don`t really stand for anything honorable.

The President is doing a solid job under difficult circumstances. I don`t think anyone in the GOP can do half as well.

They have no solutions that can pass any amout of legitamate scrutiny by someone who takes the time to think through what the Republicans are saying.

If Obama said the sky was BLUE, Republicans would swear – before God – that it was red.

This is why they will lose in 2012.

Rush Limbaugh: Limbaugh's Lies about Earth Day

Do you even remember, folks, Earth Day's founder, do you remember the story of Earth Day's founder? Do you even remember his name? Ira Einhorn. Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, April 22nd, 1970. Seven years later, the police raided his closet and found the composted body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk. Ira Einhorn, the father of Earth Day, killed and composted his girlfriend. And any time you mention this the Earth Day acolytes try to shut you up, and they don't want you having any success at besmirching the image of their great leader. Except for the fact that Ira Einhorn was a murderer, pretty much everything Rush said is wrong. No one thinks that Einhorn was “the father of Earth Day.” The founder of Earth Day, as everyone knows, was Sen. Gaylord Nelson. The main organizer of the first Earth Day in 1970 was Denis Hayes. The first Earth Day was a nationwide phenomenon. The Philadelphia Earth Week was organized by a committee of 33 people, and it does not appear that Ira Einhorn was one of them. In Rush's defense, some of the misinformation on his show came from a badly written piece by Remy Melina reprinted on MSNBC.com titled, “Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend.” That title alone should warn readers of the bias that would follow. (Interestingly, Melina's piece was reprinted from a tabloid-style website, lifeslittlemysteries.com, where other articles being featured include one titled , "CIA Cover-up Alleged in JFK's 'Secret UFO Inquiry.'") Einhorn was a crackpot who called himself an environmentalist to help get himself attention. In 1977, he murdered his girlfriend and hid her body in a trunk in his apartment, where the mummified body was later found. This is the “composted” girlfriend being mocked in the headline and the story. Since decomposed bodies have nothing to do with composting ( in fact , the body was found underneath some Styrofoam packing material), the only reason for putting this word in the story is to try to demean environmentalists. A Philadelphia Inquirer article from ten years ago, easily found on the web, revealed that Einhorn wasn't the founder of Earth Day, nor was he the host of the Philadelphia Earth Day celebration. Instead, this article indicates that he was a nut with few environmentalist supporters, but many fans among mainstream reporters, corporate leaders, and even the police.
