Writing in opposition on purpose

It occurred to me the other night that Bush and the Republican Congress have one, clear, all-consuming motive:

To retain power.

All this wondering about whether Bush is really Christian or good or whatever is absolutely out the window.

Nothing is more important nor more valuable than being in power, not saving lives, not reducing the debt, not finding peace in the Middle East, not finding alternative fuels, not being ethical, not ANYTHING that's good for America.

My clear example, although there are many that fit this pattern once you think about it, is the Terrorist Surveillance Program.

Every single person in this country supports it.
Every Democrat supports it.

There's only one problem, how do you separate yourself from the opposition party when they agree with you?

You break the law.

So while the opposition party is spending it's time trying to argue that the program breaks the law and should be fixed, you can go around saying that the opposition opposes spying on terrorists.

That certainly bolsters the argument that one can't fix other people's messes. Why try?

Let's just let the Republicans run over American laws so that Democrats don't look like, and they can't claim that we're against their programs. Let's let the courts, what's left of them, do the Lord's work for us.

Everyone will be happy then.

By the way, if you wan't to find one fright and lie after another, just go to www.gop.com.

If they can't convince us that Democrats love terrorists, their backup is trying to convince people that Charlie Rangal is going to raise taxes even though he has said he won't.

GOP = Greed, Organized crime & Propaganda
