GoP on the wane

2008 may be the year of the Rat, but as I listen to the outdated, old, and just plain idiotic Newt Gingrinch on c-span, I realize that 2008 will alsp be the year of the Republican, and more importantly, the 'Conservative' element of the party, Wane. Just as Ann Coulter, who c-span also played last night, stuttered through and reiterated the same tired, old conservative hoopla about taxes and abortion and all that, I realized that these so-called 'voices of the right' have no clue what they are talking about! If I have to hear one more intonation of the revered Ronald Regan, the worst president until Bushie, I will puke. They had there chance, way too many chanes actually, and they fucked it up. I had a rather intense discussion with a friend of mine suring the Super Bowl about how Bush had 6 years of full congressional blank-check authority and they did... nothing! They passed what? Medicare part B - which will cost nearly double what it said it would initially? But of course, there is the War on Terror - he has protected us because there wasnt another attack! This was my second point in my discussion with my friend, who said she would vote, if she could have, for Huckabee (no, I didnt laugh). She is worried, scard about terror. Its a top reason for Republicans to vote for republicans - they will protect us. I said that I didnt feel scared about terror, but instead, about the domestic problems that have been negelected for so long. Thats what scares me - almost as much as a Baptist minister for prez! No matter who is president, they will have the military industrial complex at there disposal, meaning that the secuirty process is ongoing. Its not going to change. No person would want more attacks, so why would a Democrat be softer on terror? 9/11 happened on Bushie's watch? No one could have guessed it would happen - O.K. There were signs. So if no one could have guessed it would happen, then what does it matter who is in the WH? We are never going to stop all of the attacks that can happen in a free and open society. Unless we want to live in a police-state, with closed borders, rules by xenophobia, another attack is bound to happen until we change our foriegn policy and economic goals that rape developing countries and then tell them its there fault.
Ok, i need a break from this - and Newt Gingrich. More later...
