The republican fantasy world of "let's pretend"

[Nordic]

Help me out here.

The entire GOP point of view is a fantasy.

The only way you can be a GOPer is to pretend.

Let's pretend things are getting better, instead of worse, in Iraq.

Let's pretend there actually were WMD's somehow, somewhere, in Iraq.

Let's pretend all those babies and women and grandfathers we're killing are "insurgents".

Let's pretend our own troops aren't getting killed.

Let's pretend record defecits don't matter.

Let's pretend the majority of Americans actually wanted the assault weapons ban to expire.

Let's pretend Osama bin Laden doesn't matter anymore.

Let's pretend George Bush isn't a complete corporate stooge.

Let's pretend Halliburton is only concerned with what's good for America.

Let's pretend Dick Cheney isn't actually getting paid six figures a year by Halliburton.

Let's pretend an economic recovery is right around the corner and is fueld by tax cuts for the rich ....

C'mon, DUers, let's continue this list. I think it can go on and on.....
