"Renting the Lincoln Bedroom"

Republicans have "sold" a lot of Americans on the idea that democrats
are amoral people.. They squealed like stuck piggies about the "White House Coffees" and the "renting of the Lincoln Bedroom" ......the pardons..the "faux/unphotographed trashing" of the white house, and the thefts of Air Force One property, and the removal of furniture from the white house... and of course "the case of the missing "w"s" from the computer keyboards.

So MANY scandals.....and the volume was cranked up to EARDRUM SPLITTING day in and day out.. None of these "scandals" proved to be anything but propaganda, yet their refutations rarely appeared in the press, and we still hear them repeated as fact from time to time.

We saw them blocking traffic and chanting in front of a house that Al Gore had every legal right to live in...we saw them "storming the Bastille" trying to stop votes from being counted....


The press never missed an opportunity to glamorize the republican quest for decency. They were the quixotic, neatly pressed,squeaky clean youngsters out to return the country to innocence, modesty, godliness and "truth, justice and the American way".

Instead of portraying them as the greedy, OLD-moneyed, fat-cat corporatist party they really are, republicans are usually shown as "youthful", "eager", "helpful"..and a plethora of other adjectives. They are shown this way because the rich old greedy ones know what "sells".. Youth and enthusiasm are appealing across the board, and they are also easier to indoctrinate. Cults do most of their recruiting in colleges and on the streets where Young people congregate.

So now, one of their "inner circle", a guy who has been to Crawford with the Pres, probably on AF One too, Scotty's face lights up when he calls on him... He may not have slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, but then again.......hmmmm..

What media outlet is keeping track of who sleeps in the Lincoln bedroom these days? Is it only pertinent in a democratic administration? Of course *² spends as little time as possible there, so maybe the sleepovers don't even happen anymore. Coukd THAT be when Scotty & his friends :use: the place??:evilgrin:.. Maybe Jeffie HAS partied in the Lincoln Bedroom after all..

1. Dinggggg, "Quixotic" the word is..."Quixotic"...

When republicans protest it's "Moral outrage" or they're "Concerned citizens". When Democrats protest it's "Uppity Hippies stinking up main street" or "Treehugging Wusses inconveniencing everyone over something nobody cares about".

The antiwar protest was given a bad name in the 60's. A stigma that will follow liberals for years to come.

8. yep..those words.. concern.. worry...

their speech pattern always allows for "soft accusations" by using the "gentle, worry-words".. They ooze compassion just as an adder oozes venom from his fang... It's deadly, but by the time you realize it....it's too late:(

2. In the first year and a half

Bush hosted 160 overnighters in the WH. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/08/17/whitehouse.sleepovers/

but that was different. Those were all "close family members and friends."

3. "close friends"

Oh the images that run through my head ...

4. Did I say "close"?

Sorry, I meant bald.

5. that's even grosser, now they're into incest.

yuck.

from military scenes to kissing cousins.

6. Hey now wait a minute

The US is the only western country that prohibits cousin marriages, and even then it's legal in most states. Cousins isn't incest. I got schooled in that a couple years ago, thanks to an online debate. :)

7. Exactly.. I would imagine that the Clintons were friendly

with their guests too, but it was always spun as fundraisers.. The ultimate fundraiser is *², yet no one dares to comment on it :grr:

11. Slumber parties?

Why am I picturing Bush in a pair of Dr. D's, with the feet and the flap in the back.

Oh, that's just disturbing.

And trolling for John's?!

Run K/E! Run!!
