The ‘Chicken Little’ syndrome

So here’s the big Republican agenda for the 2006 elections: Other people’s sex lives (aka gay marriage), flag-burning, illegal Mexican immigrants, tax cuts and Chicken Little ... A GOP campaign resembles a traveling tent show. White House sideshow barker Karl Rove hopes the rubes who line up every two years to see the two-headed calf and the bearded lady will fall for flag-burning again.

Never mind that Republicans have done nothing about it since President Bush’s father visited a flag factory during his 1988 campaign. They may end up having to bribe illegal immigrants to torch the Stars & Stripes, because flag-burning as a protest all but disappeared after Sept. 11 ...

Ditto tax cuts. Even the most credulous are getting uneasy with the GOP’s ongoing War on Arithmetic, and worried about spiraling debt caused by Bush’s profligate spending ...

Which brings us to the Chicken Little theme on which Republican hopes appear to hinge. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., first raised it a recent a fund-raising letter on behalf of the party’s Senatorial Campaign Committee. If Democrats regain Congress, see, they’ll treat Bush the way Republicans treated Bill Clinton, resulting in “endless investigations, congressional censure and maybe even impeachment of President Bush.” ...

2. They absolutely cannot take it.

They are bullies and cry babies. It is ok while they are doing it, but if someone stands up to them they start to cry.
