How long before DU does an about face on Bush?

[woo me with science]

110. No, you gotta remember the goal here.

which is to keep us divided and circling the wagons, so the policies can continue. That would never happen, because Bush is a Republican.

The Blue Team rules for this game require that all Republicans are always evil, and all Democrats are always good, even if they have a history of pushing the exact same policies.

The goal of the game is not to achieve logic or consistency with regard to the policies we support, but rather to make sure we rabidly and reflexively defend ANYTHING our party does when our guy is in office...and that the other side does the exact same thing.

So when a corporate Republican is in office and advances the neocon corporate agenda that harms all of us, steals our money, reduces our standard of living, shreds our civil liberties, and commits bloodshed across the world in our name, our side will get upset, but the Republicans will circle the wagons and make sure the policies are defended. Then, when a corporate Democrat gets into office the next term and continues the exact same corporate neocon agenda, the one percent can count on our side to take up the defense and ensure they can keep right on doing what they are doing.

Back and forth it goes, and we will never be able to unite to stop them.

We have always been at war with Eurasia. And our side will justify the drones and the extrajudicial slaughter and the shredding of our Constitution and the obscene parade of corporate theft and betrayals.... until a Republican is in office again, and it is time for their sheep to circle the wagons for a little while.
