Fucking Liberal Republicans
In the wake of the 2004 election, there has been much talk about how the American Left lacks policy prescriptions to solve America's problems. As President Bush's political guru Karl Rove asserted recently asserted, "conservatism is the dominant political creed in America" while progressivism is lost at sea.
But is this conventional wisdom really true? Not if you look at the handful of Republican politicians who have recently headed back to their states from Washington to serve as governor. Once reliable conservative ideologues inside the Capital Beltway, these governors have undergone a conversion on their road to America's heartland. And they threaten the conservative movement more seriously than any Democrat in America.
In the South, for instance, two GOP congressmen-turned-governors have abandoned their past willingness to gut Medicaid funding and are now raising hell about budget shortfalls. Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher told Fox News last month that he's "very concerned about any cuts" to the low-income health care program, apparently forgetting how his party tried to cut Medicaid repeatedly when he was a House member. Similarly, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, a hard-core economic conservative in Congress, actually proposed raising cigarette taxes to increase Medicaid funding.

Say what you want; the bottom line is that the Republicans kicked your liberal Democratic asses.

Personally, I think that all you ultra-Conservative Republicans are a little too fast on the draw. First, you seem to forget that we live in a country where slowly your civil rights are disappearing. Democrats are not doing that to you, it is the GOP. It seems that we have a president that is more interested in personal agendas than actually helping the country as a whole. The Rep's are running around with their heads up their asses following GWB around liuke a puppy follows it's owner. I am not saying don't be patriotic, nor am I saying that you should lose your ethics. What I am saying is WAKE THE FUCK UP and see what is going on here. Stop acting like a bunch of hypnotized cult members and look at what your precious alcoholic, cocaine sniffing, military dodging, phonetically challenged, cross eyed, bow legged, war mongering, illiterate, hypocrit of a leader is doing to you. -- Posted by: Rob Thornton on September 6, 2005 12:21 PM
I don't know how I ran across this post, but wow. Are you still as disillusioned and hateful as you were when you wrote this? I hope you have been treated for your condition. If you haven't, I can get you Dr. Phil's e-mail address. He helps a lot of people. Maybe you need to "WAKE THE FUCK UP". What rights have you lost under the Republicans that you hope to regain under a Democrat administration? I anxiously await your reply!! -- Posted by: David Gilbert on February 25, 2006 09:54 AM
