1. Republicons would just go AWOL. As usual.
Edited on Thu Apr-30-09 06:49 AM by SpiralHawk
And then run their Big Fat Corporate Media Mouths fulltime to try and pin the blame on someone else.

Republicon Homelanders have proved over and over and over that they have the FAIL & BLAME Thingy down to a science.

7. According to them
Reality? What reality? Reality is whatever we decide it is. We checked in our reality and there is no swine flu. Just in case some turns up it wasn't our fault it all started with FDR and the New Deal and Clinton had something to do with it too.

4. Blame Clinton for letting Mexicans
in the country. They could also blame Saddam Hussein for producing the swine flu virus, it's obvious isn't it they don't have pigs there do they. Think about it.:tinfoilhat:

8. Close The Borders...
...round up anyone with a Mexican surname or worked at a Taco Bell and deport them across the Rio Grande and give Halliburton and "Xe" no bid contracts on doing the job. For those with money, Tamiflu to the highest bidder...sold as stock options.

by cheney and rumsfield, that give mandatory injections contaminated with live bird flue.

17. There's a pattern to their crisis management
As slaves to their small government mentality, they dismantle and/or underfund relavant agencies. Only when things blow up in their faces do they roll out their half-assed solutions. This happened with Katrina and the financial meltdown. Even while doing this, they try to link Democrats to the problem.

19. They'd have gotten their wall built.
There is NO WAY IN HELL they would have IGNORED
it.

They are TOO GOOD at hype and creating/using
fear to get what they want.

21. exactly.
Edited on Thu Apr-30-09 09:19 AM by dysfunctional press
they'd start building from the gulf of mexico-west, and from the pacific going east- and when they met at minuteman point in new mexico America, president mccain would lay the final cinder block in the wall, and put up the commemorative golden electrified barbed wire.

it would have, COULD have been, america's finest hour...:patriot:

24. You forgot, "Bomb something".
With lots of announcements of getting a high ranking or #2 virii or something to that effect.

Maybe we'd even see a picture of the high ranking virii.
