Desperation seeping quickly into GOP boat...
Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 11:32 AM by kentuck
In the last couple of weeks, expecially during this Memorial vacation, the Republicans strolled up on the decks of their yachts to take a look at the horizon. What they saw seemed to scare the holy crap out of them. They saw huge waves coming toward their yachts and dark clouds above. Many of their supporters were no longer supporters and let them know in no uncertain terms that they were terribly displeased and would not be voting this November.

With that news, they panicked. They huddled together on their luxury decks to discuss what they could do to turn it around between now and November. In no time at all, they decided to do what they always do. They would turn to the "old reliables". They would talk about cutting taxes. Saving our flag. Outlawing gay marriage. And that's about all they have left....

3. "And that's about all they have left...." HUH
With all due respect, if you believe the neocomms are just going to roll over and give it up, and only enter god gays and guns you are mistaken.

They're are less then thirty days away from freaking the sheepl with a air raid on Iran and have engaged in a rovian trap to split the voters up with their Unity08 endeavor. I sure hope this doesn't become the popular group think, 'that's it we won', or history will demonstrate it was us that rolled over.

5. Good. Did they really expect anything different,
after what they've done to the American people? Could they possibly have believed, that they would be i good shape, after all the corruption and sleaze and slime they let out of the box?

If they do, then they're more delusional than I thought.

I think these folks are going to treat us to some fireworks this summer, not inclding the Fourth of July. As these people sit in their lovely yachts, they see a tsunami headed straight for them, in the meantime the engine has caught fire.

These folks are unpredictable, like a cornered cobra is liable to do anything. The more desperate they are, the more dramatic it will be.

7. They have a lot going for them. They are able to swift-boat, lie
run negative ads, start crazy rumors (Rove forte) and stuff like that. Also, they can run slanted polls and they can steal elections. We must fear their strengths.

8. "when your enemy is sinking, throw him an anchor"
Wish I could remember who said that line, one of my favorites.

9. Bob Novak surfaced a few months ago on CNN
and recommended this course of action. He's a despicable old codger with a stupid streak. He shouldn't have brought this up exposing the GOP game plan (KKKarl must have exploded) just like the Plame outing became his waterloo.
I wonder if he & Rove are still friends - not that I care.
