The GOP is desperate--radically desperate. Never before has a political party--or a political ideology--been so singularly poised to blow its opposition completely out of the water as Democrats and progressives are today. The criminal indifference, incompetence, and outright thefts from the citizens of America and the world have become too large for the nauseated public not to notice.

And the corporatists, the theocrats and the reactionaries are once again doing what they have done so well: shooting the messenger.

Now usually, "shooting the messenger" has meant decrying the "liberal media"--as if there were such a thing--in order to suppress evidence of their criminal wrongdoing and intimidate those who would report the atrocities.

Today, however, the messenger is of another stripe entirely; today, the messenger is a scapegoat.

Today, the messenger they are shooting is one GEORGE W. BUSH. He is their messiah. Their prophet. Their one and only savior. And they are shooting him in ritual sacrifice, in the vain hope of saving their sorry skins.

(cutting)

In short, they would love to lay it all at Bush's feet. They would love to shoot the messenger.

They would love to blame their rotted corn on the failure of the husk to be adequately attractive.

And we mustn't let them.
-----------------------------------------

My fellow Americans and liberal progressives, we are at a serious crossroads. The damage is done. The public wants a change.

But what change will we give them?

We can either be content to lay back and take satisfaction in the fact that Bush is about to be thrown under the GOP bus, or we can take this opportunity of a lifetime to destroy, once and for all (or at least for a generation) the evil ideologies of those who actually put Bush the Tool where he is today, and replace them with the progressive values that America really stands for--and always did, until this unelected coup of criminals took over.

Their cult of Kingmakers are offering up their Messiah King as a ritual sacrifice. We can either take it--or we can storm the temple palace gates and bring them ALL down.

Their guns are turned on their Messenger. They are goading us into setting our sights there as well.

Me? My aim is on the Message. What say you?

... What say I?
On the message, bring them all down.

True.

Reminds me of a bad mob movie. G dub screwed up the family business and must be taken out....

By the way-- what ever happened to Republican "individual responsibility"?

Lay? Skilling? GW Bush? Jack Abramoff? Scanlon? Ney? Foggo?

Vidkun Quisling? ( sorry, not in the Bush administration, but deserved to be . . .)
