Presidential Incontinence and Immigration Boehners

And from Vermont, a bizarre story that unfolded in 2002, when Republicans hired a telemarketing firm to jam the Democrats' get out to vote line. It appears Rove isn't an aberation in Republican politics, rather the norm. The Republican National Committee has spent millions defending three convicts in the case, further demonstrating their principles and their dedication to free and fair elections. How much did Diebold make for delivering Ohio to Bush?

Immigration, not Iraq, may prove key to kicking the bums out of their lobbyist-infested, perk-lined burrows this fall. It appears that millions of immigrants, many of them Latino and many of them beginning to accept the Republican propaganda about trickling down (a leak metaphor?) and how making the rich richer benefits those they can exploit, have learned how far Republican loyalty goes, about the distance of a dollar, preferably in large numbers and preferably from one of their pet industry sectors. So where are your ancestors from, Herr Boehner? I haven't heard of any Germanic-speaking native American tribes. Mine are from England and Scotland and Germany and, if my lactose intolerance and budding diabetes are any key, a couple may have been from right here. Illegal immigrants don't vote, they just pick your fruit and clean your toilets and build your McMansions; therefore, they have no meaning to Republicans except where baiting them or demonizing them plays to the more fascistic elements of the party. They would rather enslave you than honor your contributions and that's just plain wrong.

Or just plain Republican, take your pick. Meanwhile, good right wing neofascist Christian wingnuts are distributing flyers in Pasadena, Texas urging the Christian and Charitable act of burning immigrants out.

What would Jesus do? Delay might hold the torch. Jesus would be a part of the bucket brigade.

And of course, Bush explained his own incontinence by saying he declassified the intelligence prior to leaking it. Yeah, Karl, seventy-two hours later and the best you can come up with is that the President meant to piss his pants? He only wanted people to see the truth.... Sounds rather plaintive coming from a pathological liar, doesn't it. We'll release selective parts of a document - not the part where the CIA tells us the uranium thing is highly unlikely - in the name of truth? It's called a lie of omission, Mr. President. Isn't one of those ten unpleasantries "Thou shalt not lie?" Not very Christian but your supporters will see it differently. I realize you can't comment because of the ongoing investigation.... Getting to the truth? You leaked to obfuscate the truth. That you have to stand in a puddle of your own making should be no surprise.
