That headline in my local newspaper, followed by "Stunned House Republicans vowed campaign changes..." sadly and clearly illustrates why and how the greatest threat we face as a nation today is not an oil shortage, not a turrist attack, not a chicken flu pandemic, but the utter vacuum in leadership at the highest levels.
The Communist Chinese, in between digging out the few earthquake survivors on one hand and thanking Marx on the other that there will be 20,000 fewer mouths to feed, must awaken each day thinking they MUST be living in a dream world. Surely they will awaken and discover that their most mortal enemy is NOT run by a bunch of Bickersons whose narcissistic desires end at the tip of their greedy little noses.
Surely the party of Reagan could not have devolved to fools who utter such inanities as, "'Clearly, I think we've got to do a better job' going into the November elections, said the Republican leader, Rep John Boehner..." the AP story by David Espo continues.
The republicans have succeeded in becoming just as detached, just as stupid, just as deserving of the unemployment line as most any democrat.
Boys and girls--Boehner and Newtie and Trent and Dennie and Yale MBA and Rover and the rest of the stoopublican "thinkers"--when will you learn that your arrogance, your incompetence, your disinterest in serving rather than ruling is why you are Democrat Light?
You are swimming against a riptide.
Why would neo-comms vote for you when they have real communists and socialists to vote for?
You don't care about the Mexican border, you don't care about the illegal North American Union that is being conspired for by your so-called leadership, you don't care that Rumsfeld and W and Rice and the rest of the gang went blind into Baghdad.
The entire stoopublican "leadership" structure needs to be fired.
One hundred people who have a grip and know what's going on and think the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are more important than the R after your name could EASILY be found to replace you.
Good riddance.
power
No matter what their intentions going in, the system always seems to ensnare and corrupt seemingly good people and turn them into typical, corrupt, run of the mill, power mad politicians. I'm beginning to wonder if computers might not be a better choice.
birds of a feather
There is no real difference between republicans and democrats. About the only thing I can see is that republicans want to ruin the country a little more slowly.
You're Fired!
The party has lost its way
and in no way resembles the party of Regan or even Gingrich. Although I remain hopeful that somehow, somewhere another Regan will arise to return the party to its conservative principals I wonder if such a person might already be too late. The only saving grace of this mess is that the Democrats are almost as un-unified as the republicans with their hatred of Bush being practically the only unifying force ATM. Time will tell but its getting awful dark out there.
