Okay for chickens, but not for politics....Free Range Republicans

[democrank]

Sure, go for the Free Range stuff if you`re buying a chicken to roast, but if you`re thinking about voting for folks to oversee this errant administration, forget Free Range Republicans. They come up empty in the oversight department. They head for the hills, hightail it, fly the coop. These chickens don`t even think about coming home to roost, they just line up according to Karl`s pecking order and stand motionless while he pecks their necks raw. Free range. That`s what they give Karl.

These Republican chickens kind of scatter about working on The Moral People`s issues. You know, keeping viable stem cells away from paraplegics, combing libraries for copies of Lolita, reporting on tree huggers. If you want them to take a detour and check into torture camps and guys being terrorized by ice baths and fork lifts, well....no can do. Investigate the government sending spies into Quaker meetings in Vermont or Pennsylvania? Well....it`s not in their job description. Your mother just died because she couldn`t afford her medications? Sorry....it`s a free market system. You`re 63 and can`t find a new job? Ever hear of retraining?

This is the Excellent Era of Free Range Government. No oversight. No investigations. No question and answer sessions. No accountability. It`s just plain free. Doin` real good like freedom lovers should. Why get bogged down in a bunch of pesky details? Just pick out a handful of people to run things and let them get on with their show.

If you buy duct tape by the case now and or wait for an electronic beep to go off whenever you visit Aljazeera`s website or maybe look over your shoulder while applying those IMPEACH bumper stickers, get over it. This is Bushworld, where the Vice President of the United States can shoot someone yet wave the sherrif off until morning, but where a grieving mother can get lugged off and handcuffed for wearing a tee shirt showing the number of our soldiers (her own son included) killed in Iraq.
