I call shenanigans

As gas prices fall, people are turning back to the GOP. Hopefully recent news will change those fickle, idiotic attitudes.

As for the Mark Foley thing, here's a list of false Republican talking points and how they have been debunked. Kudos to Rahm Emmanuel for stepping up and to Bob Schieffer for knowing when to laugh at stupidity.

Some poll numbers the Bushites can't be happy with.

The shrill voice of McCain rises up again, first blaming the Clinton administration for the North Korea situation, then bleats that people shouldn't point fingers.

As the latter article states, the following is informative:


Bush I: 1-2 bombs worth of plutonium
Clinton: Zero plutonium
Bush II: 10-11 bombs worth of plutonium and counting, first nuclear test

Then again, Bush has been quoted as saying, "Why should I care about North Korea?"

Minuteman leader Jim Gilchrist can intimidate Mexican immigrants all day long, but he can't handle a phone interview. Go figure.

Bill Frist suggests that the Taliban should be incorporated into the Afghan government. A couple things on that. 1. You KNOW if a Democrat said something like that, they'd be hung out to dry by the administration and media. 2. Doesn't Frist know that we invaded Afghanistan to take the Taliban OUT of power? Seriously, with so much appeasement in attitude and draft dodgers in their ranks, how does the GOP sell itself as hardline foreign policy folk? I don't get it.

Republicans have rolled over $20 million earmarked to celebrate victory in Iraq. Oops! Maybe next year, huh? Or maybe you spend that cash on VA hospitals and gear for the boys and girls overseas instead. Can't get any political traction out of that though....

Bush considers Iraq to be "just a comma" in the scope of world history. This may - eventually - be true, but quit pandering to your evangelical sheep and insulting our troops in the meantime.

Evangelicals are getting turned off by the GOP. After covering up for pedophiles, lying about the war, conspiring with oil-drilling corporate maggots and evil sheiks, there's good reason. Then, of course, is the revelation (for some) that Bush and Co. don't take them seriously, call them names, and generally take them for granted.

And one Republican puts it, it's time to switch teams.
