Republican Democrats

February 11, 2006

In 2000, many sincerely believed Bush and his associates were actually "spend then tax" Republicans similar to Democrats who openly support big spending and massive government. People with this view were dismissed as nuts but not now!

Many traditional Republicans who thought their party was for smaller government, less spending and state's rights have been surprised at the direction their party has taken since 2000. They are realizing the predicament they are in and cannot believe government deficits are so high and the government so big. Now, people rarely speak about state's rights. To make things worse, they used to slam Democrats for big government spending and they have to now admit they have unquestionably done the same, but even more so.

Genuine Republicans, few in number in 2006, are sorely disappointed and realize their party actually represents liberalism and bigger government with backbreaking deficits. They must now see their party very much like the Democratic Party and it might as well be.

It must politically suck to be Republican Democrats. Who would have thought this could happen?

After all, there are just so many times you can claim deficits and big government are good and say it with conviction.  And they know Bush will continue to lie about everything as he has done about Iraq, terrorism, domestic spying, CIA leaks  and his associations with lobbyist criminals. Bush's dishonest politics will cast a very dark shadow on them and to add to their nightmares, Bush will lie some more, instead of shutting up already.

Things are so bad, that reasonable voters might think Bush is actually a Democrat in Christian-Republican clothing. They would be right about that!

There will be many sleepless nights in D.C.

Republicans up for re-election and those who genuinely support traditional Republican values are worried. They see through Bush's bullshit but they don't know what to do. They have good reason to be worried about their party and political careers.  They might be looking at national and state politics from the outside and angry that Democrats have made gains they wanted to keep.

Too bad.

Their two faced political swaggering these past five years has been seriously dishonest and now they must "pay the price". Years ago, they hooked their political wagons to a liberal spend then tax candidate named George Bush. This was fine when they were winning but now they are poised to fail.

The state of affairs within the Republican Party are so pitiful that the only consistently positive comment Republican voters have about Bush in 2006 is that he is "strong on terrorism". Yet, Republican politicians know deep down, that Bush linking Iraq with terrorism makes for another weak argument.  They know most Americans think Bush is wrong in the way he is handling the Iraq War and linking it with the War on Terrorist will fail to win them votes.

Republicans who do not understand this predicament are not genuine Republicans but Republican Democrats, people who are really liberal and want big government at the expense of taxpayer wealth.  It serves them right to loose and they deserve what they get ... a Democratic Party win this fall.

Should there be a political stalemate, it would be all the same, more spending, bigger government, fewer civil rights and more terrorism and war.

Unfortunately, Americans loose again which means it is time for another American Revolution, this time against the current government of the United States of America controlled by the Republican Democrats. Let's start with the ballot this fall.
