Does The Brownshirt Party Have Aces Up Its Sleeve? By Paul Craig Roberts

[Joanne98]

The Brownshirt Party has chosen John “hundred year war” McCain as its presidential candidate. Except for Cheney, Norman Podhoretz, and billy kristol, McCain is America’s greatest warmonger.

In a McCain Regime, Cheney will be back in office with another stint as Secretary of War. Norman “Bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran” Podhoretz will be Undersecretary for Nuclear War with General John “Nuke them” Shalikashvili as his deputy. Rudy Giuliani will be the Minister of Interior in charge of Halliburton’s detention centers into which will be herded all critics of war and the police state. Billy Kristol will be chief White House spokesliar.

The whole gang will be back–Wolfowitz, Perle, Wurmster, Feith, Libby, Bolton. America will have a second chance to bomb the world into submission.

With the majority of voters sick of war, sick of lies, sick of fraud from the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, and sick of stagnant and falling incomes, McCain is poised to capture 20% of the vote–the Christian Zionists, the rapture evangelicals, and the diehard macho flag-waving thugs who believe America is done for unless “Islamofacists” are exterminated.

The accumulated lies, deceptions, war crimes, the shame of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons, Bush’s police state assault on civil liberty, countless numbers of Iraqi and Afghan men, women, and children murdered for the sake of American and Israeli hegemony, and the collapsing US economy indicate a political wipeout for the Brownshirt Party. In a country with an informed and humane population, the Republican Party would be reduced to such a small minority that it could never recover.

What will happen in America? Polls show that Americans have had it with Bush, and the 2006 congressional election showed that the voters have had it with Republicans. But the Republicans have seen the message and ignored it, and the people and the Democrats have continued to tolerate and to enable that which they claim to oppose.

With the Neocon Election Stealing Machine(tm) still firmly in place, the above hyperbole has frightening chance of becoming reality.

The Rethug smear campaign of '08 will make '04 and '00 look like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

2. The author of that article is wrong about at least one thing..

Voters have not had it with Republicans. If anyone saw PBS' Now, two weeks ago...David Brancaccio was interviewing various people about the current economic situation.

There was this couple...it was really pathetic. The husband had had a bout with hepatitis, I believe. They were in the process of losing their home. They had massive medical bills. He couldn't work. Brancaccio asked them how they were going to vote, and David said, (edited in narration )"wait for it", then back to the couple who stated they were going to vote Republican. Something about the "abortion" issue, IIRC.

See what I mean? Here are these people, being pounded into the dust. No social safety net, no universal health care, victims of the whole mortgage fiasco (I don't remember if it was sub-prime or not). And they're STILL loyal to the Repubs. :wtf:

eidt> crappy typo.
