The success of the G W Bush administration
That's right -- it all depends on knowing his Prime Directive -- well ever since Ronald Reagan, the marching orders of the Republican party have been written and signed by Grover Norquist:---
SPEND!!!
SPEND!!!
SPEND!!!
and then tell the Progressives (liberals, whatever) that "We wish we COULD do something for the poor but we just don't have any more money"
Doesn't matter if you need to piss it down a rathole like the Star Wars Missile Defense toys (or should that be UP rather than down) ---
Doesn't matter is you just let Dick Cheney steal it outright to pay back his 23 Million-dollar buddies at Halliburton...
Doesn't matter.
JUST MAKE SURE IT'S ALL GONE BEFORE THE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS PEOPLE GET IN OFFICE!
(Right now it's "Just because the Bush Administration pissed it all away doesn't mean we should let YOU do it too, boy."
-- Oh you can not tell me their white-boy face isn't showing. Just because they learned to not use the N-word in public, doesn't mean they're going to just accept anyone who is and/or is sympathetic (or empathetic) to people of non-white color.
Took 'em a while to summon up the cojones to have former Klansman Sessions throw down -- face to face -- on Sonia Sotomayor for being a racist, but they got to it fast in the first days when they only had to answer to each other.
Does this mean they actually have a sense of humor? I mean, they're funny -- at least in that marvelously cruel vicious gay and ghastly way exemplified by the late William Burroughs - but I don't think they realize it. Wouldn't work if they weren't so dead serious "the universe will end if we let other people who think differently from us play with OUR country."
But that gets into the rank hypocrisy of the imitation-Christians in government, the C-Street adulterers, for example. And that's another posting. (Although you should go ahead and get yourself a copy of the The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power by Jeff Sharlett. Lots of familiar names of "Christians" in it -- Gov Sanford, Senator Ensign, Senator Tom "You got a lot of 'splainin to do" Coburn... et al
