Throw the bums out!

I could only hope that this is a repost because I'd like to think that everybody saw this last night and couldn't wait to talk about it this morning. Anyone see it? Any thoughts?

Gee, I thought we solved this problem with Campaign Finance Reform pushed by McCain and the Left? You mean it didn't work?

A bum can still have some class.

These guys are far worse. What's funny is seeing them when they were "young republicans." I remember those "types" the 1970s. In those days we didn't think in terms of liberals and conservatives, it was more a matter of being cool or being a square. And these guys were the squares of their time.

While I think the Indian tribes were a bit naïve. Or at least acted that way after the fact, these republicans are using groups like the religiously confused; the people afraid of anyone with a beard, and the ignorant who never read a book or newspaper to do nothing more than make money.

It's our fault too. If you are younger all this may seem rather normal. But, if you're older it's like the Nixon years again, but with a much sicker twist. In either case no one is doing much about it.

It's not enough for a country to be all powerful. We have to be right too.

I used to think, okay, American is very resilient and we'll survive this subjugation of democracy. It will someday be only a good history lesson on what can happen when the people don't care or pay attention. Except for the fact these guys are pushing the agenda (though I'm sure most don't really believe it) that the "rapture" is coming and the world will end in their lifetimes. Boy, there are the people I want in charge of the launch codes.

I was standing on the beach in Coronado, California looking at the aircraft carrier "Abe Lincoln" sitting just off shore. The one Bush had to fly to in a plane because it was too far "at sea" for a helicopter to reach. I remember when Bush left Max Cleland (look him up) sitting in his wheelchair outside the gates of his ranch.

Look at everything else and it adds up to chicanery pure and simple. Bush deserted the National Guard for the same reason many went AWOL in those days. It wasn't the Vietnam War as that was all but over at that point. He left because he was about to flunk a drug test. When he first appeared on the national scene as a candidate who didn’t notice the "automatic" snort reflex he exhibited all the time. I've lived in the Perris ghetto long enough to know who develops that habit. They must have worked for weeks to break him of that as all of sudden he didn’t do it anymore.

During the Vietnam War there were two kinds of people who didn't go. The ones who burned their drafts cards and carried the signs of protest, and the ones who used their connections to avoid combat all together. I looked it up once and there were hundreds and hundreds of boys born the same year as Bush who went from Texas to Vietnam and didn’t come back.

I wonder which one of them took Bush's place . . .

Umm...No. Yea. This was part of the other dozen things that this CONservative CONgress ignored this term. I mean there are crooks, and there are people who write the book. I'll give them one thing, they have balls. It really hit hard when Abramhoff called Reed "a bad version of us" when referring to Scanlon and Casino Jack. I won't deny that most politicians are probably crooks. The only difference is that the Republicans recently have taken the stereotype and run away with it to set a new standard. If it makes you folks feel better, Republicans are better at being crooks than anyone else. See, who say's I can't say anything nice.
Oh, P.S. I used to have good thoughts about McCain. He seemed like a good guy but now it's obvious that he's nothing more than a run of the mill politician/political hack. He talks the talk but that's where it ends. Pity.

Nice post. Hits on a lot of topics. Be prepared to be attacked personally. The messenger has a tendency to get blown to bits in these instances
