Republican hypocrisy in action

[AnIndependentTexan]

This was Wednesday December, 1 2004, however, this is why Republicans are hypocrites.

Republican Senator calls on Annan to quit

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4060249.stm

A US senator has called on UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to quit over alleged corruption in the oil-for-food programme in Iraq.
Norm Coleman alleges ex-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was allowed to profit from the UN-backed scheme and that Mr Annan is ultimately responsible.

The Republican senator is conducting a congressional probe of the allegations.

Correspondents say dissatisfaction with Mr Annan is rife among US Republicans, and is shared by the White House.

1. I was just thinking about their incredible hypocrisy regards "democracy"

bush praised Spain for "spreading democracy in Iraq" when Berlusconi IGNORED the wishes of 98% of his own people and joined with bushler's occupation of a sovereign nation that hadn't done anything to anyone.

bush THREATENS and BULLIES and DENIGRATES Spain when their new president LISTENS to the will of 98% of his people.

bush THREATENED and BULLIED and DENIGRATED France, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Russia etc etc etc; all countries who LISTENED to the VAST WILL of their own people and said NO to bush's illegal war of aggression.

bush told the Turkish military THEY SHOULD HAVE IGNORED THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT & CITIZENS (98%+ opposed) and joined bush's invasion.

bush wants the world to IGNORE DEMOCRACY IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES to "SPREAD DEMOCRACY" at gun point in wars of aggression decided on by bush.

And the rightwingnuts are too stupid to figure this out.

2. Maybe not that stupid.

Maybe they don't give a shit about democracy here or anywhere else.

3. I'm thinking that may be a valid conclusion

Altho they certainly WILL give one hell of a shit when it hits them.

I was watching a special report, recent interviews of German citizens who lived through Hitler's regime.

It's pretty damn shocking to hear sweet old babas saying "Hitler never wanted war, it was forced on him. We were attacked, he did what he had to do to protect us".

Coz ain't that exactly what the rightwingnuttery chants about bush's war of aggression.

:wow:

5. I think you are catching on!

Are we loosing something we had, or did we ever really have democracy at all?

I am truly not sure anymore.

was it Khrushchev that said the USA's downfall would come from within?

man was he on the mark!

4. Why do Republicans put down Hollywood actors

Yet have many actors in elected office, while Dems have few?

6. repukes will embrace anybody hateful enough to join the GOP

even Gopher from Love Boat, or cant ski to save his life, Sonny (lookout tree) Bono.

Hell, Al Sharpton could have a cabinet position if he would denounce democrats and praise repukes. Look at Zell (the unbalanced) Miller as an example.

If Willy Horton had killed only democrats he would be Attorney General by now.

Remember the Willy Horton ads on letting prisoners out early, revolving door prisons used against Dukakis. The early release program was Republican!!

7. Watch DemocracyNow,explained he didn't have any control of the program

it was the security council, including the US.

in fact Kofi would bring abuses to their attention and nothing was done.

it's all payback for Kofi telling the truth about the iraq war being illegal.
