2. Spin dogs must go!
<snip>
Politics first, competence last: That's the Bush administration all over. Karl Rove, Bush's brain and deputy chief of staff, is in charge of the political juggernaut that's substituted for effective governance. Presumably, he's now at work on a plan to burnish the image of Republicans as managers of the publics business so they don't (get) the hell beaten out of them in the mid-terms a year from now. But the harder Rove works at spinning what this White House has accomplished, the more likely it is that Americans will see that what it's accomplished is basically spin.

Competence presumes some ability to deal with reality. As far as I can see, this administration has succeeded admirably in ignoring reality.

And I would take the description of their brand of politics a step further. They have institutionalized discrimination based on political views, religious views, sexuality, socio-economics and race.

We MUST make sure that the get the hell beaten out of them in '06 and that it sticks forever. These bastards can never rule like this again.

Taking suggestions NOW!
