Six days in the life of the officially bankrupt Republican Party |
|
Let's take a moment to consider what Americans learned about their government over the last six days. On Sunday, we learned that the National Intelligence Estimate, the most complete intelligence report completed by all available agencies, argues, in the words of one American intelligence official, " he Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse." The same day, we learn that the president dismisses the ongoing tragedies in Iraq as "just a comma" in history.
On Tuesday, House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), with no evidence at all, argued on national television that Saddam Hussein had WMD and was an accomplice to the 9/11 attacks, despite reality that says the opposite.
On Wednesday, a majority of the House of Representatives endorsed the Bush administration's deplorable torture bill.
On Thursday, a majority of the Senate endorsed the Bush administration's deplorable torture bill.
On Friday, a report explained that the White House misled the country about its connections with Jack Abramoff. A few hours later, Mark Foley, a member of the House Republican leadership, was forced to resign in disgrace for being a sexual predator.
On Friday and Saturday, revelations from Bob Woodward's new book highlighted, for the umpteenth time, that the Bush White House has been breathtakingly "clueless, dishonest, and dysfunctional" in its handling of the war in Iraq. Worse yet, the same book notes that the White House was offered a chance to kill Osama bin Laden months before 9/11, but the Bush gang didn't feel like it.
And today we learn that House GOP leaders knew about Foley's "problems" nearly a year ago, but decided not to do much of anything.
Snip...
Can we now officially declare the Republican Party bankrupt?

1. The only thing worse are the suckers who vote them into office. |

The lowest form of animal life is the republican voter.
Despite all the evidence before them, some REALLY MORALLY BANKRUPT people will still cut checks to the GOP (greedy old perverts), put stickers on their car and vote for them.
