Hit Back


Well, it only took a forty-five minutes to post what hopefully is at least a semi-coherent visual (had to filter it pretty heavily to, ahem, remove obvious retouchings)...anyway, I see Team Shrub is trying to pull one more "victory" out of Water Boy Karl Rove's playbook--that is, a Hail Mary of slime, fear mongering, and desperate cliche.

Why don't the Democrats hit right back, then? The truth is that Team Bush's message is feeble, and they're unable to articulate it in ANY way...they lack the ability to make even a small degree of sense: they insist on our military having an unsecure perimeter with overstretched, vulnerable lines of supply in Iraq, the strategic mess they've created clearly has made the Middle East, and, by extension, the world, MORE, not less dangerous, Osama bin Laden is evidently enjoying a comfortable, if spartan existence--when he's not gut-laughing at us from a location probably inside the border of our "ally" Pakistan, the pitiful, pathetic response to the natural and negligent disasters along the Gulf Coast is proof positive that they lack basic competence. The hurricanes--and flooding of New Orleans--were preceded by plenty of warning, warnings this administration chose to IGNORE in favor of...vacation. And they're supposedly the one's to count on should something unexpected happen?

Bullshit.

The ONLY way the GOP even "exceeds expectations," as pitiful as THOSE are at this point, would be if the Democrats lie down on the American public. Unfortunately, that's not out of the realm of possibility...
