OT only Republicans dumb enough to believe BushCo
Question, do you righties actually believe all of the drivel that
BushCo is lying about? JON CARROLL Jon Carroll Thursday, June 24, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was interesting to watch the Bush administration implode as I was making my fossil-fueled trek across these United States. I was mostly out of touch with that darned liberal media -- although some states, like Wyoming, have unexpectedly good NPR stations -- so I picked up the bulk of my data from USA Today and local newspapers. The red states are getting exasperated with Bush. He's not the small- government cautious-foreign-policy compassionate conservative that they voted for, and he's almost beyond the benefit of the doubt now. It may be true that, despite sophisticated Rovian techniques, you still can't fool all of the people all of the time. Meanwhile, the lies proliferated at such a rate that my eyeballs began wobbling. In between the lies were the censored reports, the high-level employees firing bazookas at their former employers, the explosive congressional testimonies. Democrats didn't even have to show up; the GOP brandished a sword and forced itself to walk the plank. You go, guys. Even worse: Not only were they billionaire-coddling environment-wrecking, civilian-killing blowhards, they were inept billionaire-coddling, environment- wrecking, civilian-killing blowhards. For instance: They knew they were going to invade Iraq all along, and yet they had no plan for how to govern the damn place after they conquered it. Then, realizing belatedly that they had no plan, they decided to blow vast quantities of smoke and polish up their mirrors. They airlifted a whole bunch of guys to Guantanamo and held them illegally for two years, and they weren't even the right guys. They hired Halliburton to make Iraq run better, and Halliburton responded by robbing us blind. You'd think, seeing as how it was Cheney in command, they could have gone a little easy on the graft, but no. Steal while the stealing is good; it's the first rule of kleptocracies. You can't tell the scandals without a scorecard -- that's not a figure of speech; that's true. Such a wonderful roll call: Cheney and Halliburton, Wolfowitz and Chalabi, Rumsfeld and torture, Ashcroft and detainees, you name it. That 2004 platform is coming into focus nicely. I suppose I should be taking more joy in seeing my enemies squirm, but actually I'm not. I am a citizen of the United States. I am proud of much of what it has done in its history. I am an admirer of its Constitution. I want it to succeed. And as I was driving across the open spaces, staring at America's mighty horizons, I thought about the small people running the big country. I'd say that most of the members of the Bush administration are deeply silly people. They're stupidly ambitious and crudely avaricious. They like combat in a way that no one who has ever experienced combat could like it. They want quick payoffs; they like easy answers. They give Christianity a bad name -- lots of very good Christians do not think that "because God told me so" is a real good reason for whatever actions ambition dictates. And, like the most petty schoolyard narcissists, they want to be right all the time. They want to be above criticism. They don't have regrets; they have excuses. The dog ate my country. A glossy new version of "The Manchurian Candidate" is going to be released in theaters in a few weeks. I saw a trailer for it this week. I don't mean to sound like an alarmist, but what if George Bush is a plant? Have you thought of that? What if he were put here by shadowy somebodies in order to undermine the United States? Evidence? He has increased exponentially the number of our foreign enemies. He has polarized the electorate. His agents have so cheapened the political dialogue that cynicism is the national pastime. He has subverted the Constitution; many of the legal protections against unchecked government power have already been compromised. All he needs is one more Supreme Court justice, and things will really start rolling downhill. You can ask, cui bono? Ah, there's a list: radical Islamicists, international oil cartels, China, the Russian mob, North Korea, Iran, the South American drug cartels, just about anyone who needs a diplomatically inept, chronically weak U.S. administration to consolidate its power. Just one election left before the coup. Take appropriate action |

The KGB knocked off anybody who got close to the truth: Vince Foster, Ron Brown (died in a plane crash over one of the ex-Soviet bloc countries I believe), etc. Meanwhile, Clinton slashed our military by more than 30%, stopped funding for SDI, and reduced our force strength in Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall was just a charade to make Americans *think* that the Soviets were weak. Meanwhile, they were grooming a smooth-talker from Arkansas to finish us off. Fortunately, in 1994 the Republicans seized Congress from the misguided Democrats, and the Russian plan was thrown a curve-ball. |

If you hear the same lie repeated enough times, it seems to take on the appearance of truth. NOYB admits that he listens to Savage and some of the other propagandists, and they all sing the same song: "The Democrats systematically dismantled the strong military that they inherited from Bush the Elder after the Gulf War! Republicans are tough on defense, the Democrats all want to cut the budget!" That has to be one of the most commonly repeated lies of the right wing, and most who repeat it are not aware of exactly how false it really is. Many of the 1991-1992 cuts were recommended by then Secty of Defense, Dick Cheney. Yes, the very same Dick Cheney that now verbally crucifies John Kerry over defense cuts. Don't know about you, but when I remember how Bush the Elder cut the armed forces by several entire divisions, took about 1/3 of the ships out of the Navy, said it was time for America to collect a "peace dividend" through drastic reductions in defense spending. etc etc etc......it remains tough trying to bite the tongue while the right wing blasts Bill Clinton (and now John Kerry) for weakening the US military. I would have to check before insisting that it is a fact, but I am reasonably confident that defense spending, adjusted for inflation, went *up* under Clinton, not down. |

He has subverted the Constitution; many of the legal protections against unchecked government power have already been compromised. All he needs is one more Supreme Court justice, and things will really start rolling downhill. You can ask, cui bono? Ah, there's a list: radical Islamicists, international oil cartels, China, the Russian mob, North Korea, Iran, the South American drug cartels, just about anyone who needs a diplomatically inept, chronically weak U.S. administration to consolidate its power. Just one election left before the coup. Take appropriate action Indeed. Bush not only is the most inept POTUS in anyone's memory, he surely is the most dangerous. And the lies...about Iraq, WMD, the environment, help for AIDS, Social Security, RX...there's no end to them. |

I had the same thought about Clinton when he was in office. He was recruited by the KGB when he was visiting Russia during the Vietnam War (WTF was he doing in Moscow anyhow?). The KGB knocked off anybody who got close to the truth: Vince Foster, Ron Brown (died in a plane crash over one of the ex-Soviet bloc countries I believe), etc. Meanwhile, Clinton slashed our military by more than 30%, stopped funding for SDI, and reduced our force strength in Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall was just a charade to make Americans *think* that the Soviets were weak. Meanwhile, they were grooming a smooth-talker from Arkansas to finish us off. Fortunately, in 1994 the Republicans seized Congress from the misguided Democrats, and the Russian plan was thrown a curve-ball.
