The Republic Party's worst nightmare? ........ George W. Bush

[Stinky The Clown]

The Rove/Bush political Frankenstein has run roughshod over America and all her institutions since late 1999. They co-opted the Republic Party, the Neocons, and the Religious extremists to their cause. While they used these people to gain and hold power, they clearly held them all in contempt. The Republic Party apparatus was their secondary brand name and their machine. The neocons served to get us into war for profit. The religious extremists became their true believer foot soldiers.

But in return, none of these groups got what they expected from the bargain.

The Republic Party is no longer seen as honorable. The basic premises of Republicanism have been thrown over the side. Small government? Sorry, Grover, but this government is too big to drown in the Pacific Ocean, buddy, forget about your bathtub idea. Fiscal responsibility? Can you spell 'deficit'?

The neocons witnessed their idea of world dominance dashed in a failed war in Iraq. No longer is the country bloodthirsty and happy to rattle its swords. Instead, the citizenry wants out and they want out yesterday. The very word 'neocon' has become something of an obscenity.

The religious extremists managed to get their sleeper cells into our government, but, even with the Rove/Bush control of the Supreme Court, abortion remains legal. The antigay movement has also been foundering badly as more and more states start to move ahead of the feds and protect basic human rights regarding love and marriage.

Then there's the overarching stench of corruption.

The overarching stench of incompetence is there, too, adding to the odor wafting over our country.

Republic Party elected officials are faced with some very hard decisions. Go against the Rove/Bush junta as a matter of electoral survival, and suffer the ire of Rove/Bush, or support them and suffer the rejection of their constituents.

As he has all his pitiful, worthless life, George W. Bush has proven yet again how monumentally incompetent and ill charmed he really is.

This time he's totally wrecked one of the two major American political parties. Not that I am sad at that fact.

A miserable failure, indeed.

4. Supporting Bush has turned FReepers into the sort of pariah

a child molester hanging out near an elementary school always is in people's eyes. Anyone I've seen who still supports the chimp either has a vested interest in doing so and is discomforted by having to do so, or are so absolutely so out of touch with reality they are rubber room candidates in many areas of their lives.

Sure sucks to be them these days, and I can't say I feel any pity for them concerning their dilemma in the least bit.

6. Great article. I would like to know just how close the rw religions

have come to destroying their own churches. I know that my liberal Christian church is growing very fast. My guess is that they are leaving the feel good churches in droves for churches that have a thought process. I hope so. In the 70s most of the rw churches were nothing more than small cults. They need to go back to that state or better yet just plain disappear.

8. Neoconservatism is dying in the Iraqi heat... For 30 years, any

GOP Neocon chicken-hawk candidate who rattles his saber will be accused of leading us toward "another Iraq." Look how little Giuliani resembles their candidates from '96 and '00.
