Republicans Realize They Have Heads Stuck Up Their Asses

Today's Herald: "Republicans turned on one another Wednesday after losing control of power in Congress -- blaming an out-of-touch, self-promoting party leadership for abandoning ethics and conservative principles and turning off the country."

Veteran conservative strategist Richard A. Viguerie was especially caustic. "Every single member of the Republican leadership in the House should be replaced. They have failed the conservatives who put them in office, and they have failed the people of this country," Viguerie said. "This election was also a referendum on the so-called 'neoconservatives' -- the big-government Republicans who took us into a nation-building war while they busted the budget and enriched big business and its K Street lobbyists."

Another casualty has been Dennis Hastert, Mr. Foley's enabler. Yay. No loss there. You guys have alienated a lot of people and you were too stupid to see it. Maybe if you got your heads out of your collective asses you'd have seen this coming. America is tired of this. Family Values are great -- I'm all for them. But you're so busy killing these families with your war and bankrupting the half that's left in order to preserve your greedy self-interests, you've lost touch with all of America.

And what about the election

And, if it makes any difference, I was for the republican governorship candidate (Crist) this election. I don't often support Republicans but sometimes you have to go for the right candidate and not the right party. Don't ever let it be said, I'm so stubborn I won't vote for the other team.

And how is it that the Harris contest was so close. I had her to lose by at least 30% and she only lost by 20%. Does that mean over 40% of the people in this state are so stupid as to vote for this clinically insane shew of a creature. Her own party disowned her: that speaks volumes.

A sad day for America....

Ugh. Well Shrub won. It proves you can never underestimate the stupidity of Americans as a group. Or, as my history teacher Ronald Nieves used to say, "The Masses Are Asses" -- and how right he was.

For the people who voted for four more years of insanity, I hope they remember that as their sons and daughters are needless killed in a pointless war over Iraq. I hope they remember that as the economy slips into the tanks again. I hope they remember that as their job is shipped overseas. I hope they remember that as their personal freedoms are slowly stripped away in the guise of "homeland security"

President Bush will continue his policies that make America and Americans targets wherever in the world we go. If you think it's not true, put a shirt on it with a picture of Bush and walk through the streets of almost any European capital. See how well loved you are. Less than six months ago MacLean's magazine polled Canadians -- even they don't have a favourable opinion of us. Lovely.

The world is not a safer place today. Osama BinFuckWit -- the guy who really caused this state of affairs -- is still at large. Saddam, though certainly a scumbag, is in jail -- but at what cost? America has no right to be in Iraq nor does it have the right to be the self-appointed Police State of the world.

America is going to become a very conservative State. Individual rights are going to be crushed and come under the provenance of the far right religious fringe. If you're gay, Muslim, or in any other minority, you better hide. This administration doesn't like you and doesn't believe all men are created equal. Wait until there Supreme Court is padded with more conservatives and the balance shifts. Goodbye Roe v Wade (remember Bush's comments in the debates if you think this isn't out the door).

As George Orwell said in Animal Farm, "Some men are created more equal than others" and that's who is in charge of this formerly fine country for four more years. We are supposed to elect a president who will do the best job for the entire country, and not a president who will do the best job for some of the country and sadly small-minded people did just that.

You, dear reader, are entering a very dark chapter of American history and even world history. If you didn't vote for Bush at least you can be proud of that. If you aren't an American, please don't judge all of us harshly: we're not all self-centered idiots who have no clue that these is a whole entire world out there.

May God Have Mercy On Our Soul <-- I bet Shrub would like this closing line

Which Asshole?

As someone asked me today, "Which asshole are you voting for?" That pretty much sums the election up. Yeah, you all know I'm voting for Kerry because I remain convinced that Bush Jr will go down as one of the worst presidents this nation has ever had. However, I don't really like Kerry so much either. This year marks a big change, in a number of positions I am voting Republican because the Democrats have put forth a number of really scummy candidates (especially Castor). And as much as I hate Shrub Jr, I really like Jeb so far -- he's done a good job mostly. Sure, he's no Lawton Chiles but he's decent and means well.

I am not voting today.......... until after work :) The line this morning was impossible and there was nowhere to even park. If you don't vote today, don't complain tomorrow.
