Democrats Try Trickle-Down Economics
By KARL ROVE
Democrats are betting that Americans now embrace centralized, top-down government and are willing to pay for it. They are wrong and will suffer politically for their misjudgment.
Republicans are right, both substantively and politically, to oppose this monstrosity and smart to offer a bold alternative. The GOP's road back is about to be partly paved by Mr. Obama's embrace of Democratic trickle-down economics. It's terrible policy -- but for Republicans, it provides an opportunity for sharp contrasts that can reset the debate on more favorable terms for the GOP.
Fueled by the delusional Oxycontin-induced diatribes of Fatwad Limbaugh, the Republicans are strutting around Washington sporting political woodies they thought they'd never get again since their disastrous performances in last year's erections elections. They find it even more thrilling since they think that they've all got bigger ones than that black guy in the White House. Of course, what they fail to realize is that this condition is temporary and they will return to flaccid selves shortly.
Even the flotsam and jetsam of the Bush administration is getting into the act. First we heard from that rat turd that passes for a human being, Dick Cheney, almost having an orgasm on air as he gleefully predicted another cataclysmic terrorist attack being visited upon the United States. The fact that this would mean the deaths of hundreds of his fellow Americans did not seem to phase him in the least. Rule One of the Right-Wing Sociopath's Handbook clearly states that what ever is bad for the Democrats is intrinsically good for the Republicans regardless of the consequences.
And picking up the economic side of that tenet, Karl Rove poked his fat head up through the rat hole he lives in to offer his fervent hope and prayer that Obama's stimulus plan would fail. And again, the fact that the result would lead to even worse financial disaster for tens of thousands of his fellow citizens doesn't bother him either. (See Rule One.)
It is truly a remarkable fact that of the two main political parties in America, the Republican party seems to exist solely for the express purpose of depriving every man, woman, and child of the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
