Swing States
No, not Ohio and the rest. I speak of the Swing States of George W. Bush's mind.
Remind me, Republicans...
- who counted on activist judges to get him installed as
KingPresident, then castigated judicial "activism"? - who wanted marriage to be a state issue, until the states didn't do what he wanted?
- who opposed creating a Dept of Homeland Security, and then created one?
- who opposed nation-building, then decimated Iraq and installed a "democracy"?
- who said, unequivocallly, that we'd found weapons of mass destruction, then said we didn't?
- who said we can win a war on terror and then said it's not winnable?
- who opposed a 9/11 committee, then approved one?
- who imposed tariffs on foreign steel then, in less than two years, rescinded them?
- who called Clinton weak for not strong-arming OPEC, only to let OPEC run roughshod over us for nearly four years?
- McCain-Feingold. Nuff Said.
- who blurred the lines between al Qaeda and Saddam as a means of blame-shifting to support his war of error, only to admit last month that there is no connection?
- who criticized big government when running for President, only to effect the biggest expansion of government in decades?
Normally, I'd want to try to inject some humor into this, but it's just too damned important to fuck around with. The man is a menace to society, a menace to global humanity.
Spin that, Rabid Right.
Oh, hell, here's a humorous take on the subject if you haven't seen it. Just because something's important doesn't mean that seriousness is the only way to expose its dangers.
