| George Will Challenges Donna Brazile's GOP 'Party of No' Nonsense |
| 2010-02-22 |
| George Will on Sunday took on Donna Brazile's claim that the Republicans are the Party of No. After fill-in host Terry Moran on ABC's "This Week" asked Brazile if President Obama is guilty of not challenging dissenting members of his own Party, the Democrat strategist went into the predictable talking point about the gridlock in Washington all being the fault of Republicans. "I think President Obama is leading," she unsurprisingly said. "But unfortunately, you have a Republican Party that has decided that by saying no, they can, you know, perhaps gain more at the polls this coming fall." Will was having none of this, and smartly countered, "I want to say something in defense, particularly to Donna, of being the Party of No. The Republican Party elected its first president because he said no to a bright idea a Democratic Senator had." |

| #8 If they are the party of NO, then the Dems must be the party of Duhhh. I mean, they had a big enough majority that they didn't need a single Repug vote (in theory) to pass whatever they wanted, and still couldn't manage to do it. |

| #5 Saying NO to stupiod, incendiary or destructive ideas isn't obstructionism, it's maturity and sanity. This idea that the best way is always the middle way, or that government has a role to play in every aspect of life, we just need to moderate what that role is, is nuts. The best reatment for cancer isn't a slower growing tumor, it's no tumor! The cancer of government growth into every aspect of our lives is the cancer that will destroy America. Saying NO to it isn't wrong, it's life-saving! What kind of a moron doesn't get this simple fact? |

| #2 Sometimes little children need to hear the word "no" so they learn where the boundaries of acceptable behavior are. Sometimes you have to slap their wrists or even spank their little butts. |

| #1 "But unfortunately, you have a Republican Party that has decided that by saying no, they can, you know, perhaps gain more at the polls this coming fall." She is right. The Republicans need to say "HELL NO!" not just "no". |
