Playing The Blame Game
Playing The Blame Game
By: Clyde
Published: September 8, 2005

God how I long for those carefree days of fun and frivolity where the only fear we had from the Republicans was how soon we were going to be fucked out of our Social Security. Well the days of being secure in the knowledge that our government would protect us are over because we now know that Bush and his cronies will kill American citizens in order to get their way. I am not talking about sending our military to a foreign land to benefit the oil industry, fuck no I am talking about murdering our own countrymen on our own soil.

The lack of response by Bush can only be described as wholesale murder by depraved indifference and we as a people need to demand accountability immediately. The assertion by the Republicans that now is not time to play the blame game is utter nonsense, especially when you factor in that THEY are engaging in a shift of responsibility from Bush to the victims themselves.

I am so sick and tired of the ineptitude of this administration and I want nothing more than Bush to wade through a river of shit that would make a Proctologist at an Ex-Lax convention proud. Bush seems to think that by announcing that he was going to head an investigation of what went wrong that it is somehow going to temper the outrage that is already beginning to come his way, he could not be more wrong. As the body count begins to grow you will see more and more people demand honest answers and poor little Scotty McClellan will get pounded in the ass like he was on a trip to San Francisco eating Rufees like M&M's and Gannon was mainlining Viagra.

Karl Rove is going to have to come up with an intelligent excuse of why Bush installed as the head of FEMA a man whose only qualification in emergency management is how to keep horse shit out of the tail of an Arabian. There is no goddamned excuse for cronyism when it comes to the security of the American people. And it is high time we step up and demand that public servants be qualified for the job they do, not on whether the person is willing to gargle the throat yogurt of those in charge just so they can get a cushy government gig.

I find it amazing that there are people in this country who are so married to a political party that they are willing to overlook the fact that the head of FEMA had no idea that thousands were stranded at the convention center and had to be told of that fact by a bottle blonde on CNN. If you were to take a look at the Free Republic website you would get a taste of just exactly the type of brain dead lemming that pervades the Republican Party. These are the people who pay homage to people like the OxyContin cowboy Rush Limbaugh and the Hitler Youth Uberfuhrer Sean Hannity like they were the second coming of Christ. These are the people who will bitch, moan and groan about some black guy stealing a Sony flat screen TV but won't say a word about the oil companies practicing price gouging at the pump, in fact they call free enterprise.

The fact of the matter is that Bush is constantly pissing down the backs of the middle class and then trying to persuade us that it is raining. Everything this man does is not for the benefit of the American people but for the further enrichment of the wealthy and corporate America. The fact that the oil industry has reported record profits in the last five years the beady eyed mental midget in the White House refuses to put a price gap on gasoline. Instead he expects the people to pay through the nose just so they can get to work and back.

For those of us who actually use our brains it is time for us to not only drown out the din coming from the radical right but begin to actively engage in the blame game. The Democrats in Washington need to point the finger of blame exactly where it belongs, in the face of George Walker Bush and run this piece of shit out of office. They had better put the heads of those responsible for the bull shit that our fellow Americans had to endure for the last ten days on the accountability chopping block and get convictions for the crimes that have been committed. I am thoroughly disgusted at the inaction of the Bush administration as should every citizen of these United States and I demand satisfaction.

1. It is a very sad time for our country!
All that we have said we have stood for, revealed over and over to be lies and deceptions...now without even attempts to even pretend to be what we say we are as a country. I so disllike the media and politicalization of it with the slogan used daily.."the blame game"..very cutsy! This is no game! This is human beings starving to death because food and water was needed...and because there was no reason at all why it wasnt delivered the very next day after the hurricane.....it was life and death...and it was just not done...just not done. we let our people starve to death...and did nothing..nothing...to prevent it. we did nothing!!!!!!!!!!!
