Matthews Warns, Just Like in '94, Big GOP Win in Fall Could Sweep In 'Oddballs'

2010-08-03

Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews, during his syndicated The Chris Matthews Show over the weekend, warned viewers that a big win for Republicans in the upcoming midterms could lead to a bunch of "oddballs" coming to Washington. Matthews, citing a New York magazine article by Jennifer Senior, alerted his audience that if the Tea Party is successful in November it could be reminiscent of the Republican class of 1994 when a bunch of "nutty standouts" arrived. Matthews then went on to list two groups of Republicans who were elected in 1994 and placed them in two groups: "the black helicopter crowd of paranoids" and "hypocrites who stood on the party's family values platform and then managed to slip off."

We still have two groups in Washington: The group that doesn't know cowpucky from shoepolish and the group that wants to turn America into a socialist/marxist hell. Wait a minute; maybe that's only one group.

#9 Democrats still crow about their fiscal discipline of that time frame, fiscal discipline forced upon them by those oddballs. We need more of that. A lot more.

#8 The mainstream politicians can proudly stand on their records of corruption and saddling the taxpayers with debt.

Go Team!

#6 Hell, at this point I would take people that sit around flicking boogers at a wall instead of passing laws at this point. Would be cheaper to pay them $500,000/year and fill congress with do nothings than what we have now.
