Enjoy your last weekend as a Democrat. [View All]

Yes, I know. You thought the GOP was the latest incarnation of the Nazi Party. I did too. But, as it turns out, they’re little more than modern-day Brownshirts -- common thugs tasked with bullying you into submission.

It’s your party, the Democratic Party, which is standing down as your Bill of Rights is surrendered to the latest Fuehrer. It’s your party, the Democratic Party, that is standing down as Dick Cheney is given the power to decide when you can be held without charges, when you can be disappeared to a secret prison, and when you can be tortured to death. It’s your party which trusted your future to the likes of John McCain.

And while your rights are being surrendered, Harry Reid is quietly wandering into the forest to gather nuts to prepare for another cold winter. John Kerry is again leaving the country, perhaps figuratively, likely literally. Miss Modulation will once again read a beautiful declaration of vigilance before retreating to her New York hideaway.

Nobody is lifting a finger for you. But in a few weeks you will go to the polls to cast votes for the fools who trusted your country to a man who previously crapped on the face of his own wife to serve his political aspirations.

“Subpoena power,” you say? Forget it. Next week, the Dry-powder Gang will give Dick Cheney the power to decide who can be subpoenaed, what the word crime really means, and which members of society are exempt from your silly system of laws.

And don’t buy what Randi Rhodes and company are selling today. We knew all along that the Republicans would go for this. It’s the Democrats who sold us out.
