The greatest challenge for #MitchMcConnell is reality.

"To call #MitchMcConnel a blank is an insult to blanks."

#Blade has #Cheney's old heart.

#GESmith does not rock.

I almost forgot the #Republicans were #Americans.

More flags, damnit!

"Look back to the future!"

#RandPaul got a spot?

4:30 pm PST James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

The future of the #RepublicanParty has no future.

"The Pootie Tang Family" was an underrated movie.

Hung is on 1st, Twong is on 2nd, and I don't know who is on 3rd.

"We won't let you bankrupt this great nation. That was Bush's job."

"We have nothing to fear but the #RNC trying to dismantle the #NewDeal."

"Doesn't G.W.'s administration owe the Treasury money?"

No scandal? #ValeriePlame?

Neither George endorsed #MittRomney. Must be women's work.

Are we voting for #MittRomney or #MissouriJesus?

5:01 pm James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

Played theme from #TopGun for #McCain. I hope he doesn't jump.

This is like the dinner table scene in #AnnieHall.

We can change the channel!

I hope the attorney generals sue each other.

Hard to believe they lost.

Do you want a V8?

That's a bad joke.

#Thune has a stain on his lapel.

#Romney will break up the 50 states to sell off.

No mention of #nuclear or nu-cu-lar.

Can't the #RNC get any headliners?

6:02 pm PST James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

#Romney made his money the old fashioned way. He pillaged it.

Surprise keynote from #RonaldReagan #Hologram.

I think it's #TimPawlenty's fault.

Losing convinced #Pawlenty to support #MittRomney.

Call me #UncleSugar.

Do you #Limbo?

Check her birth certificate! #RNC #Rice

It doesn't matter who you are as long as you have ID.

#RNC nominates #357magnum for President!

7:27 pm PST James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

#PaulRyan has the same stain on his lapel as #Thune.

It started with an obstructionist Congress. It ends with #PaulRyan out of office.

The only difference between #Palin and #Ryan is lipstick.

I hope #PaulRyan's mom is over 55.

#PaulRyan wants to invade #Syria.

8:00 pm PST James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

Does #PaulRyan believe in #magicunderwear?

#GOP built America…using Chinese factories.

"All men are created equal in the #GOP as long as they are not endowed with a #Vagina.

"God doesn't like government." Must be why he doesn't pay any taxes.

7:05 pm PST James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

"If workers didn't want to be paid, there'd be more jobs in America!"

"We deserve Mitt Romney?" Is that like original sin?

James Tripp ‏@thejamestripp

#AnnRomney opens with a prayer for property. God bless you Ann!

"There would not be Americans without America!”

And God Bless Tiny Tim!

"The best thing about #NewJersey is the food." #Christie

#ChrisChristie's family benefited from government G.I. Bill.

#Christie's mother read him #ThePrince instead of #TheLittlePrince.

#Christie wants to fundamentally reduce the size of government. First, he should reduce his size.

Trippitorial - "Legitimate Republicans"

 

As Republicans gather like storm clouds over Miami to outline a plan to dismantle the social safety net, it’s important to point out that the Republican Party has been taken over by the Christian right and other fundamentalist fringe elements.

This is not the party of Lincoln or Goldwater or Reagan or even Nixon.  I think if Richard Nixon where here today, he might say, “I am not a ghost.”

I miss the Republican Party of Richard Nixon when there wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be fixed by a couple of Cubans.

Richard Nixon used to answer reporters’ questions, even if the answer was, “Fuck you!” Whenever a reporter asks Mitt Romney a legitimate question, his brain has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. Richard Nixon…Now more than ever.

Republicans opinion of women seems to be based on a religious fundamentalist belief in the subjugation of women, whose main purpose in life should be to reproduce whether they like it or not. And they’d really prefer to have sons. And don’t forget to cook dinner.

It’s the party of white men who like their white women where they belong.

This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is the Koch brothers Republican Party.

When Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,” I don’t think he meant it as a challenge.

I’ll be tweeting the Republican convention @thejamestripp.

Also, my novel, the Hierophant is now in paperback and on Kindle and is available at Amazon.com and other online booksellers. It’s a good book. You could start a religion with this book. Of course, it’s not one I’d follow.
