Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 08:10 AM by opihimoimoi
What do they believe in?
Their Demagogue Friends, Rush, Sean, Bill O, etc etc...get rich spewing their BS Psycho crap....
Signs are everywhere they want a Fascist form of Gov't...they have morphed ours into a near Fascist Form during the past 6 years...using 9/11 as a pretense....our wonderful Constitution has been gutted///our Rights....almost GONE
Are the Pubs Nuts?

3. I'm as baffled as you are. |
|
Things like the stem-cell and S-CHIP vetoes, the signing statements, the illegal spying, the secrecy, the seemingly endless criminality and sexual perversion, all apparently approved of by the majority of Republicans.
What is it that they want? Whatever it is, they sure are mad about not getting it soon enough!

7. Most likely Closet Peters...they got up there, don't ask how, but not capable of being true Leaders |
|
Thinkers.
Prolly infected with ego, vanity, greed, sloth(thinking), etc.....they go about PRETENDING in their position....look at Bush....
The WANNABE Bug has many of them by the Balls too...this is why many will follow orders/instructions ftom the higher ups without hesitation....they are waiting their turn to move on UP...they do this with OBEDIENCE....
Look at Rove....he knew he was foisting an Idiot on us...did he stop and think...hell no...in fact, quite the opposite...they laughed how they did it...
It may be too late to stop this evil system they call Republicanism but for now, at the very least we can still voice our thoughts/concerns....how long more is another thing...
Let us work for Truth, Sanity, Reason, Opportunity, and The Common Good to return. Our Land we call America...is under attack....

8. 40% or so, of Americans are illiterate/aliterate...they don't read.. |
|
Another 25% read the minutiae/moot things...pulp fiction/etc...many others read only religious stuff/technical material/etc....only a small percentage read things building CIVICS...follow conversations with friends/associates...listen to their opinions...some have merit while most are ...just opinions based on emotion...but they wish to be heard and wish to be correct...and sometimes...they use bully tactics...many Pubs are Bullies....
The System them Pubs use fosters this crap...the Pub Masters wish a dumbing down of America...better to Fool and Control us minions I suppose...
Let us hope for a strong brand of Coffee and Visine #5 to garner an awakening of our National Conciousness.

6. I think I have them figured out. |
|
I have done a lot of thinking on this , and I'm fairly certain I have them figured out. They are not operating on reason or logic or fairness. What they are operating on is a basic human instinct. That instinct is the preservation of the tribe. The concept of the tribe being white America, white Christian America ect. Politically these people are acting on the premise that their tribe is being threatened.

11. That's probably true of their base, and theirs leaders are out for pillage. |
|
Seriously, they are pulling out all the stops to rake in as many millions as they can while they can still do it.

14. They're in their gated communities and isolated bubbles. |

They don't care about anyone else -- they've got theirs.

17. Its on my list.....Thomas Rick's FIASCO is another rec'd book |
|
Much of the books re BushCo and their trials/tribulations/wrong doings/etc focus on what they did....
I wish for more thoughts/concepts that explains long term solutions in definitive ways other than empty language shit them Pubs like to use...
