Bush’s Good Right Hand
Very few will argue that Bush years have been a disaster. The nation is weaker in every way; militarily, economically and morally. Our international influence has waned and we are at odds with practically everyone. The national frustration level is surging. That anger is being directed at the usual suspects.
It’s our fellow Americans fault for not voting or being too stupid, superstitious or lazy to vote their own interests.It’s the fault of the GOP for crossing the line between criminality and politics as usual and for their cultish adherence to outmoded ideology. It’s the PNAC neocons, egged on by AIPAC, that have dragged the country into senseless wars that suck the treasury dry. The plutocrats are despised for their pathological greed. Lobbyists are blamed for polluting the political process and slanting the playing field toward the narrow, dissolute interests of their employers. The corporate media are blamed for bundling the sacking of America into deceptive sound bites and entertaining lies.
But even a cabal as muscular as this might find it difficult to install an unpopular, felonius administration and implement an agenda that hundreds of millions of people reject. It takes a great deal to overwhelm the fundamental decency of most Americans. Enter the Democratic Party leadership and senior Congressional Democrats. The devolutionary, right wing owe their success to these unlikely allies. The Bush administration if it would have existed at all, has exceeded their wildest dreams because of the unflagging support of the Democrats.
It's a matter of public record starting with the 2000 election. Can anyone imagine the GOP or any reasonably robust political party walking away from a presidential election they won? Can you imagine them silencing their own membership to enable the theft? Twice? Do you think a real political party would stress over looking like “sore losers”? Can you imagine the GOP voting for legislation that gave control of vote tabulation to Democratic partisans? Can you imagine another political party not acting to remove the imposter when their victory was confirmed? The Democrats could not have more helpful toward the GOP if they were working for them.
