I was over at relatives for the weekend and the GOP meme of 'who would bin Laden vote for' came up during the drinks sessions before dinner.
I quickly began warbling by regular ditty: Not only would bin Laden vote Republican he probably would like to speak in Minneapolis to send his apprecation to the admin of the AWOL drunk and the serial draft dodger.
The GOOPERs become apoplexic and demand why I would say something like that.
They expected a typical response, Iraq is a disaster, the economy is a distaster, etc.
I pulled the rug out from under them and say,
- George Bush surrendered to bin Laden's key demand -- removal of US forces from Saudia Arabia. In 2003, Bush said, "Yes, Sir, Mr. bin Laden, sir" and US forces (save for a handful involved in cermonial duties) left Saudia Arabia. The key US air base at Riyadh was moved to Qatar.
- This was the first US surrender since Corregidor
The GOOPERS become silent at this point. These are facts. But I continue ...
- I also said that bin Laden would most likely want to thank GOP stalwarts such as Dan Burton, Dana Rohrbacher, and John Porter who long supported Pakistan's ISI despite documented evidence of that agency's role in terror. As long the terror was directed against brown skinned Indians and the GOP coffers were being filled with Wahabi blood money, it was okay to support Al Qaeda in the 1990s (long after the Soviet Union had fallen)
- I said that it isn't clear but it appears that bin laden also demanded that oil be priced closer to $100 a barrel. The AWOL drunk seems to be doing his best to meet that demand also.
The last point sends usually sends the GOOPER into a rage.
- I asked why did the Wall Street Urnial editorially cheer the rise of the Taliban in 1995?
The final point takes out their old stand by of relying on some source to say that I wrong.
There is no doubt that no political party has done more in the last 25 years to advance the cause of Wahabi fundamentalism than the GOP. Surely, bin Laden would want to thank them for all his sucesses.
This very simple statement of the facts (which you won't find in the MSM) is guaranteed to send the typical cowardly GOOPER into a meltdown.
