Why They Didn't See Galloway Coming
Edited on Tue May-17-05 01:04 PM by Me.
Norm Coleman’s vedetta against the UN and his personal goal to bring it down, at the behest of *ushco, may have backfired today. And why? Because they didn’t see him coming, they were “driving one car length ahead”. The author of the linked article believes the pugs will do themselves in without any help from us because they are so shortsighted and arrogant.

“These are not even particularly bright stupid people. They are for the most part thieves and thugs. They are, an amazing number of them, seriously, seriously sexually screwed-up, which makes them neurotic, paranoid, angry, and constantly on the brink of being swallowed up whole by their own weird impulses and repressed desires. (See Jim West.) The thugs and thieves among them are not only stupid, they are arrogant. They don't believe they will ever get caught. They think that the way things are going is the way they will always go.

The thieves among them don't care that all the bad policy they are making now will be unmade in the future, that things they are trying to get rid of now will come back later in spades---when the country is truly bankrupt and people are crying to the government for help, how high do you think the tax rates the Democrats will impose on the wealthy will be?”…cont.

“The thugs aren't worried that the rules they are eliminating now might be needed later by them to protect themselves. They aren't concerned that the friends and allies they are alienating won't forgive and forget when they need their help in the future. They don't give a damn that the programs they are destroying will cost them at the ballott box and will be restored at a later date so there is hardly any point to destroying them. They don't because they are thugs and for thugs the joy is doing damage for its own sake.

Those among them who are thinking and who can see the day when they are out of power aren't preparing for that day, because they stink, just like people who cheat on their husbands and wives don't prepare for divorce court, people who steal from their employers don't prepare for the arrival of the auditors, people who want something they know they shouldn't have don't prepare for the day when that something will reveal itself to be poisoned fruit.

They are driving one car length ahead.” Cont…

4. The Entire Article Is Scathing
But Galloway's testimony today went a long way in proving his point. Galloway gave them clues to his testimony all along through interviews and said he was coming after THEM, but they still didn't see the headlights of his truck heading towards them.

5. I think they're running behind
It took two weeks to hear anything from the GOP on this, it takes time to formulate a plan on how to deal. They seem to be playing catch up, which used to work but now we get news before they do.
