The Same Old
Karl Rove came out of the closet along with RNC Chair Ken Mehlman to rally the troops and shake their pompoms in preparation for the upcoming mid terms. I see no reports if they wore skirts, or not, and perhaps that’s a good thing…
The good news is the RNC is running on the same busted platforms as before: 9/11, 9/11, terrorism, national security and, um, 9/11. While the rhetoric has tempered a bit, the oligarchs are singing the same tune. Good Dog Karl managed to use 9/11 twice in one sentence:
“At the core, we are dealing with two parties that have fundamentally different views on national security,” Rove said. “Republicans have a post-9/11 worldview and many Democrats have a pre-9/11 worldview. That doesn’t make them unpatriotic — not at all. But it does make them wrong — deeply and profoundly and consistently wrong.”
Not bad…
The bad news is that the RNC is running on the same old platform. Although the underpinnings are loose and missing in some places, many Americans still want to believe the in imminent destruction of parts of our nations. I find it interesting that most southern, and western voters are red, while the large cities in the north and northeast, prime targets for Osamafication, are blue. The red-staters perhaps show their disdain for city folk and wish them eradicated? But I digress.
Bring out a new audio tape of veiled threats and weak offer for peace, which the government couldn’t agree to if they tried, and rouse the rabble for the next upcoming battle: election season. There may be, somewhere in the bowels of America, enough die-hard war dandies to keep the current majority. On the other hand, one more news flash about internal corruption and this gig may be over. I wouldn’t want to bet on this one…
So: expect more of the same from the RNC. More corruption, more cheating, more lies and most of all more references to 9/11 that any sane person would care to count. Because when the grit is wiped away, our Republican congress came to power due to a confluence of these factors. The most insidious crime of the new century is how the Bushoviks used the tragedy for political gain. And they’re still doing it…
