During George Bush's six years in office is now clear that Bush and his cronies are in a state of willful denial "about the worsening situation in Iraq .... and so is a big piece of the American public, voluntarily or because of misleading information of a party.
As the temperature rises and less than 5 weeks left for the midterm elections, some of the most zealous supporters of this administration in the Republican Party are running scared leaving Mr. Bush trapped holding the "plate".
With the "Sex & Pedophilia" ongoing scandal involving Republican Congressman Mark Foley resigned now (R - FL), the focus of this administration has switched gears mid-stream - ". Catastrophilia" unrestrained by a disaster of a circus
A homosexual Republican Congressman with pedophile tendencies is like "manna from heaven" for the Democrats. They can not ask a better gift so close to the elections - the possibility of exposing Republican hypocrisy. You can bet that the mothers of all political persuasions will have an earful of this.
These revelations of the activities of Mr. Foley drove an all out "Circular Panic Shootout" between the Republicans, with one and all in front of voters this November distances himself from Foley.
This "October Surprise" could be the final nail in the coffin of the Republican Party. The "chickens have come home to roost" and "values" and "Faith" Party is in big trouble.
"I will withdraw even if Laura and Barney are the only ones who support me," - George Bush, speaking to a group of Republicans in the White House, according to Bob Woodward (Journalist Award winner), in his new book State of Denial. Barney is one of Bush's two dogs.
In May 2003, the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, speaking to a cheering congregation of U.S. troops in Qatar said: "So when people are writing the history books, you're going to be in it. Thank you very much."
Mr. Vice President Dick Cheney in an appearance Sept. 14, 2003 in a "Meet the Press" weekly show with Tim Russert of NBC said: "My belief is that, in fact, be greeted as liberators."
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) recently, sounding much like CNN Lou Dobbs, immigrants tied to terrorist and criminal gangs, saying: "Illegal crossing of our borders are gang members who cross to injure our citizens This is a daily struggle in a few. town. "
These four statements and many others that I have not listed here sum up the dysfunctional, hypocritical and deceitful "Republican mentality" that permeates easily the party from top to bottom.
If you read between the lines, the intuition is that Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney have fought this war for the sake of "history", .... and that "illegal immigrants" and by extension "legal immigrants" are just a gang of criminals and terrorists - dangerous and misleading rhetoric specifically designed to drive a wedge immigration to divide America, and instill fear to the urns November.
As seasoned predators Republicans have skillfully exploited in the last two years a basic human instinct of "fear of the unknown" pieces of a national security policy of "fear" in the psyche of the American public, with incredible effectiveness.
A few weeks before the midterm elections, the "king" of the "wedge issues" and partisan smears are new, even if they are clearly on the ropes this time.
While Bush was the choreography "Fear Terrorist Branch", the right wing of the Republican Party led by xenophobes like Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, James Sensenbrenner and George Allen among many others were "caress" the local people taking anti-city immigrant-style meeting room on the hate "rally the base" of the Republican Party, which includes a base of fanatical extremists still hanging on the bloody past and racial intolerance in America.
The so-called "House Republican Immigration Field Hearings" conducted in recent months apparently explored the "social and governmental costs of illegal immigrants," the use of health care, welfare and "the criminal consequences of illegal immigration." These meetings proved to be "Distortion dens" in which immigrants were mercilessly vilified. Product videos of people crossing from Mexico superimposed with images of Osama bin Laden and Zacharias Moussaoui were made for "fear" Town-Hall congregation, and are still appearing on TV screens in a large family rooms across America.
Needless to say, the positive contributions of immigrants (legal and illegal) have been completely omitted in favor of bloodletting, demonizing high-stakes, irrational and rampant xenophobia aimed at "bringing the disease home invaders." Moreover, it is utterly destroyed by the Senate, the bill would be a viable starting point to work on this complex issue in order to reach a rational and comprehensive.
In order to appease their "base", the Republican-dominated government of the United States has conducted sweeping immigration raids across the country, cruelly separating children born in the United States, which are constitutionally American citizens, immigrants from their mothers and fathers. ... well that means "economic refugees", by third world nations plagued with governments and incompetent thieves ..... some with the assistance of greedy multinational corporations whose American "colonial" profit motive and corruption is legendary.
Even Tom Kean, former Republican governor of New Jersey and a respected former Commissioner-911 has entered the fray for the sake of "Dear Party," pulling a "Michael Moorer" on Democrats. Sources indicate that Mr. Kean was hired as a consultant to pre-production for the movie "The Path to 9-11" a TV miniseries that seriously distorts the facts in a ratio of 9 / 11 Commission and portrays the Clinton administration in a bad light.
Clearly a desperate attempt by officials in cooperation with a Republican "rating hunger" central media (ABC / Disney) to influence the electorate.
If this movie was not a political movement because it was a sneaky advance copy of the film as right extremist radio talk show Rush Limbaugh - a self-serving demagogue who has a penchant for hyperbole and distortions monstrous extremists.
Other reports from Washington indicate that the Republicans are planning to download their financial war chest significantly more than the Democrats in the form of negative TV and radio ads on personal issues and local controversies. According to these reports, the Republican Congressional Committee has sent co-operatives to comb the records to find personal information harmful to their democratic opponents.
Although throwing mud is a political point for both parties and in fact most of the rest of the world, the Republicans are masters at this game and can ratchet up to ridiculous levels.
Watch out for the Republican candidates to become meaner and more twisted in the weeks to come.
But the moderate "swing" of voters from both parties buy into this farce, this time?
According to a CNN poll conducted Sept. 6, 57% of Americans without a high school education believe that Saddam Hussein was involved in 911 attacks (a fact most recently denied in a press conference on August 21 when President Bush said Hussein had "nothing" to do with the attacks), 54% of high school graduates believe likewise. Only 39% of graduates considered the same. The number is reduced drastically to 19% for graduates.
The Americans are so misinformed? If so then we should expect another Republican win this November.
Will red terror baiting, using the politics of deceit, fear and hate work this time?
Can the Republican party successfully energize their base "intolerant" right and even scare moderate Republicans, independent and even some Democrats .... New?
It is the Republican party running on fumes?
Political economic accounts that violate the core of American values appreciated in a hurry as the establishment of military commissions, which will use alternative forms of torture "to claim the mantle as the" toughest in the war on terror "are very worrying, despite the that these measures have been implemented in other countries before with little success or not.
Piecemeal measures that are politically targeted, especially in bankruptcy, without long-term solutions is not the way to govern this great nation.
Coercion "corruption" and scare tactics have destroyed America's reputation in the eyes of the rest of the world during the tenure of this administration.
For moral, political and pragmatic Democratic Party, or better still non-aligned independent should wake up and right the American ship, the Republicans have failed miserably .... citizens are deceived, betrayed their trust and misappropriation of their hard earned tax money in an unnecessary war "imperialist."
Another Republican majority in both houses will be a disaster. U.S. position as the measuring rod for the rest of the world has been severely compromised, and is decreasing even more if the Republicans are given a blank check to continue with their "fake looting."
The American people need to wake up too and send a strong message to both parties, that partisan politicking without principle and 'bad for everyone, no one party or the party faithful.
Maybe we need a party of "rational" third?
