A DU Tale

Edited on Thu Oct-26-06 09:43 PM by NanceGreggs

For a long time, the Republicans were very, very happy. :)

Right up to the last few months before the mid-term elections, they could hardly contain their glee. It seemed like everything was going their way. :bounce:

They relied on Fox-News :tv: and Rush Limbaugh :radio: to keep everyone mis-informed - just drinking the kool-aid, as usual. :beer:

But then some really terrible things started happening -- well, not started, exactly. Because they were things that had been going on all along, but the GOP never thought those dumb American people :patriot: would ever catch on.

It started with a story about Mark Foley and some young male pages :pals: hitting the MSM. So people started asking questions of people like Hastert, Reynolds and Boehner, but no one could remember who said what to who! :shrug: So Foley resigned in shame :blush:, and the Fundie base didn't take it very well. :mad:

But the sad decline of the GOP :nopity: had only just begun. There were more stories hitting the newspapers :daily: about people like Weldon and Shays, and Jack Abramoff seemed to have WAY more friends than anyone had previously realized :o

The Republican voters became more and more upset :cry:, as they realized their political heroes were not the people they'd held themselves out to be O8), but were something else entirely.:evilgrin:

Now the voters were hoppin' mad, :grr: and the GOP candidates' poll numbers started to plummet like a stone. So the party looked to its leader, G.W. Bush :+ , in hopes of winning back the people with some classic speechifyin' :woohoo: that would turn the tide.

Unfortunately for President :silly: Bush, the usual crapola just didn't seem to work. He tried to warn people what would happen if the Democrats :hippie: won :nuke: . He reminded them about the terra-terra-terra :hide: He even tried to convince them that he had a GREAT NEW plan for victory in Iraq :wtf: But the more he talked, the worse things got for the Grand Ol' Party x(

So now the Republicans were scared :scared:, and in their desperation, they tried to come up with some :think: new ways to get back their voters.

They tried smear campaigns, and the voters said :blush:
They tried making promises about better days ahead, and the voters said :eyes:
They even tried making fun of beloved American icons who were sick, and the voters said :puke:

Well, what's a down-and-out party to do? :shrug:

NOTHING seems to be working :banghead: So why not just announce how the Republicans are in FOR A BIG WIN no matter what those Democrats tell you! "Those poll numbers don't mean a DAMNED THING anyway!" :argh:

So the American people got ready for the Big Night :popcorn:. They gathered with friends :grouphug:, and they had a few drinks :party:, and prepared themselves for the sad moment when they had to wish the Republicans a fond farewell :sarcasm: after all the good they've done for the country.

THE END --
