Quote by: brien You claims of "stealing elections" are patently false. Sour grapes upon the behalf of the LOSERS. The election results have been certified by the electoral college but some people will never accept them. DENY DENY DENY. Yes, let's not go there, because there are winners and losers. The winners take power and the losers go home sore and blame everyone but themselves. The spin is relentless. Get over it already. I may not like the results of an election, but I RESPECT the ELECORAL COLLEGE which is more than I can say for the losers who claim election fraud.
Here is what I mean about statistics. What percentage and which wing of the Republican Party supports your statement(s)? Give us a breakdown of the RR and their participation in the Republican Party. Their power is exaggerated and overblown by people who seek to demonize and destroy them as a legitimate political group. I may not like the RR, but I say they may have a legitimate right to partake in the political process in America. I fully disagree that they have all but seized political power. I see no major influence in the culture, the economy, the government, or in society in general. I don't see it in the board rooms of Corporate America, nor do I see it in the major Universities of America. I don't see it in the mainstream entertainment in America. In fact, I see just the opposite in the entertainment industry and the major Universites. And I don't see it in the Government. Need I go on?
If anything, one can make an argument they do have an ear in the White House but how effectively that translates into action is subject to debate. They MAY indeed have "some" political power, but it isn't anything that is either sizable or important enough to shape legislation. GWB can't even get a Supreme Court nominee before the Senate that would vote against Roe vs Wade. So if they have any political power at all, it is indeed miniscule and not enough to even influence the American government never mind shape it as you would have us to believe.
As far as the Republicans tearing apart anyone who challanges their power, the Democrats do the same damned thing. It is inherent in Party Politics. So what is new?
You wrote that "Bushbots" are killing America". This is another exaggeration born of your anti American ideology and butressed by the media. You may not know or understand this, but America is much stronger, and much more resiliant than you allow it. One Administration doesn't America make, Nono. There have been hateful people around the globe since the Roosevelt Administration over 100 years ago that condemn America for being Imperialist pigs around the world. Ever since the construction of the Panama Canal, America has been the target of imperialistic accusations. True or not, these anti American charges have been leveled against the US since 1900. Ever think about that?
The Republicans don't have, as you would lead us to believe, a "vice grip" on public office here in the US. This is nonsense and another exaggeration. If anything it is a tenuous grip. It is my iunderstanding that the tied Senate votes lately have been broken by the VP. There are moderate Republicans like Senator Sununu of NH and Senator Collins and Snowe from Maine, and Linclon Chaffe from RI who keep the Party in a more moderate check. And Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut often reflects a middle of the road viewpoint as well. The recent elections in the Virginia and NJ point to an electorate that is tired of the Republican majority and is turning towards other types of politicians. So if this is any indication of the "off year" election due up in 06, it doesn't bode well for this Republican "vice grip" you state exists in the government.
And one more thing, just who are the "bible banger" Senators and Representatives you allude to anyway? Got some names? And what happens to those who cross them? Please be specific because so far you arguments are specious at best and deceptive at worst. |
