RW'ers accuse Democrats of trying to form a shadow government
Especially now after Pelosi's trip to Syria, but I think that an Anti-Bush Administration "Shadow Government" might be a good thing.

This is more of a counter-shadow government than anything else, the Bush Administration has been trying to make the Executive Branch the most powerful branch, it's about time they received a little backlash for this plot against the government of the US.

1. That's a pip!
Instead of a "Shadow Government," it should be a "Sunlight Government" to chase away the dark!

2. RW'ers have had an actual "shadow government" in place since WWII --
a shadow gov't which has killed Presidents, Senators, Civil Rights leaders, rigged elections, sabotaged peace talks, spied on Americans, etc., etc.

Yeah, they must hate somebody else having even a small fraction of "the power..."

3. "Sunlight Government!" That is PRICELESS! Send that to Pelosi for her response
to the Chimpy's latest tantrum!

Since the rePiglicans CAN'T govern, SOMEONE must!
And the People elected the Democrats to do just that.

Suck it up, you unelected imbeciles.

4. That is the confirmation....
Every thing they have accused the "left wing conspiracy" of doing, they have done themselves.

By accusing Liberals, they have confirmed that this is what they have been doing for years.

QED.

6. Oh, yeah, the people who were elected
are doing what the people who elected them want. (Well, at least some of it.) What a concept.

7. It's pretty difficult to set up a shadow government in just 4 months...
...but if we put our backs into it, I bet we could do it. :eyes:

10. The sooner the better and quite honestly I think we should be
quite open about it. Their PNAC formed a shadow government first undermining our Constitutional one. Boy they sure don't like it when we might be using their same tactics. The hypocrisy of it all.

11. Projection, transference, and dissociation ... all demonstrative of the mental pathologies
... on the right. It's really remarkable how exploitative of such mental and emotional disorders the GOP propaganda machine ("Mighty Wurlitzer") has been. I can only believe it's intentional.

13. Shadow Government is what they do. Iran-Contra - a secret
sub-government. Same players. They steal money from everywhere to operate according to their own disastrous for humanity, good for their pocket-book plan. How many ways can we count the secret agendas they have pursued. By secrecy, dirty tricks, theft, stealth, tricks, signing statements, executive orders, sgreements and payouts to theives, torturers, and murderers - they have carried out their own agenda with a lot of help. They have demanded that we go with them.

How many surprises have we had? Surprises mean someone has planned or schemed in secret. We discovered it in every which way possible, including leaks - but we did not learn much from - the networks and stations whose space we own and from the newspapers and magazines who have failed us miserably because they sided and said OK - we'll help you steal the world in secret, in shadow, in any form of deception you want. Pulling down a CIA operation. Allowing Senators to lie-smear on tv programs that some innocent fools trust. Signing and unsigning every bill Congress comes up with. Slipping and hiding important legislation. Blocking participation. And using batallions of operatives to smear and assist with the crimes.

18. It's called 'PROJECTION.'

Definition of projection

(psychiatry) a defense mechanism by which your own traits and emotions are attributed to someone else

The repukes have a shadow government.
