The vicious, desperate swipes of the cornered, wounded elephant
What we are seeing, folks, is just the beginning of the precipitious spiral into madness and hysteria of the reich wing.
-- A multi-city Bush speaking tour, concentrating on terror
-- a new bin laden tape
-- the ABC mockudrama
-- faked poll results
-- Homeland security charges against investigative reporters
-- labeling dissent as terrorism
-- bribing or threatening journalists
-- blatant and sloppy partisan manipulations
-- revisionism of their worst errors
-- rewriting laws to make their previous crimes legal
-- tabling of uncomfortable bills in congress without debate
-- attacking Fitzgerald and his grand jury
-- The coordinated reduction of gas prices for no logical reason, because oil price per barrel is actually rising


They are desperate, folks, they KNOW what will happen in November, if they do nothing, so they are doing EVERYTHING with no thought for how it appears or even if it is actually working anymore. Rove is a one trick pony, and that one trick is ALL THEY HAVE.

This is good news, and this is bad news. Its good news because THEY KNOW they're going to lose the house, and be credibly threatened in the senate.
If THEY are afraid of losing, we should be ASSURED of winning.

HOWEVER, this also means, like a wounded cornered elephant, the next two months are going to be the most incredible virulent vicious and relentless assault on americans, both tangible and propaganda, ever witnessed in this country.

put on your seatbelts, its going to be a bumpy ride!

we could be scared, or we could all put our hands up and enjoy the ride.


heh.

3. They will pull out all the stops..
because they were so sure they would never, ever, be held accountable. . And now (horror of horrors) it's beginning to look like someone is going to start poking around in their filthy little dung heaps.

5. And a few of those searcher's names are Nancy, Harry & John.
They all have long handles on those shovels and they'll be needed to get to the bottom of that pile of sh**.

4. but if it works who's really to blame?
The GOP just does what it does - if the voters reward them in November (as I believe they will) then whose fault is it?

Yeah it's a shit sandwich but plenty seem to be luv luving it.
