For seven years, the GOP has ignored the law, the rules of the house, the senate, the DOJ, the White House, and pretty much every administrative regulation, statute, rule, opinion letter, and procedure.
For seven years, the GOP has gotten away with it.
For seven years, the GOP has ignored the rules for DOMESTIC surveillance, spying on Americans without a warrant, even before the House of Saud allowed 16 of its citizens to join with their friend and ally's son, Osama, and attack the US.
For seven years, the GOP has stopped investigations of fraud, covered up their own wrong doing, and hidden behind baseless claims of executive privilege.
For seven years, the GOP has supported the most illegal, unconstitutional, immoral activities by the Office of the Vice President.
For seven years, the GOP has authorized, supported, and pressed political lawsuits and prosecutions, attacking their political opponents and putting them behind bars or threatening them in other ways.
I am not an alien. -(although I did stay at a Holiday Inn)- I do not subscribe to the Vulcan idea that revenge is a dish best served cold. I do not suggest that we abuse the mechanisms of government in the identical ways, with the same political retribution, personal attacks, criminal prosecutions of our political opponents
EXCEPT IN EVERY SINGLE CASE WHERE IS IS LEGALLY SUPPORTABLE AND ETHICALLY AND CONSTITUTIONALLY NECESSARY.
To put it in far more simple terms so even the densest, neocon, bible-beating, whore mongering, ethically challenged, "family values" asshole currently populating the GOP, from Karl, Dick, George, John, Josh, Condi, Scooter, Karen, Mike, John, Bill, and hundreds of others polluting their offices inside the bloatway can understand it,
WE ARE BACK,
AND
WE AIN'T TAKING PRISONERS
When the penny drops, what will happen to Mr. Frist, Sanitorium, Cheney, Bush, and so many others? When will it finally sink in that they broke the government, and made it "legal" to use all parts of the government for political purposes, including political spying by way of the FBI, NSA, DIA, CIA and other branches of government? When will they realize that they took away out constitutional privileges and protections, and now, like a stinky fetid boomerang, the same New Rovian Rules now can be applied against them? When will they recognize just how badly they violated the same constitution that no longer protects them? When will they realize that their lawbreaking, their constitutional destruction, that they protected for so long, can now be applied against them individually? When will they realize that their current crimes are now subject to investigation, indictment and conviction?
I suspect that we will see some sudden change of heart, starting with a few on the cusp, who never truly supported what their evil brothers required the entire party to do. And, I suspect that the most guilty will be the most loud, chest-beating, yelling, confounding, dissembling liars, seeking to change the rules back to a time BEFORE they attacked the constitution.
I am of two minds. Certainly, many of the crimes they committed in the name of their political leaders would be most easily prosecuted by the indiscriminate abuse of the rules they themselves broke. And clearly, we need to clear out all of the lawbreakers and criminal elements from all departments, the military, and the many agencies, not to mention congress and the senate. Using their far less constitutional approach is both enticing and economical.
But, on the other hand, if this movement we are a part of is to work, and to do precisely what we say will do, then it would be best to go back to the old ways, the constitutional ways, even if prosecutions and convictions are that much harder and time consuming.
My recommendation is this: Either we do it right, or we do not do it at all. And, if we do not dare or are unable do it at all, we are not qualified to take this country over.
Then again, it won't hurt to scare the living daylights out of the jerks, suggesting that the same rule breaking they created may apply against them. Just for the entertainment value. And once we take office, we FIX THIS COUNTRY AND BRING BACK THE CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT EVERYONE, even those asshole neocon GOPers.
On edit, Pastor Agnostic's Church of Ineffable Stupidity will be holding mass again tomorrow, celebrating the most idiotic events in the recent few days.
