The mantra these days in Washington coming from the Republicans is "Trust us, we know what where doing in" or the reverse, "You can't trust the Democrats, because they don't have a clue."
Ok...let see if we can trust the republicans...
Trust Us...
To hunt down the perpetrators of 9/11. Five years latter Osama and his gang are still on the loose.
Trust Us...
Saddam Hussien has WMDs and we know where they are. Three years of killing and dying (2,400 Americans dead, between 30,000-100,000 Iraqis dead) and nobody has found a damned thing.
Trust Us...
To restore honor to Washignton D.C. after the disgrace of the past administration. Never mind all the lying, whoring, stealing and character assasination.
Trust Us...
To never violate your rights under the Constitution. Unless we think your a "bad guy" (mostly brown and non-evagelical) then we can detain you idenfinetly, for no reason and without explanation. We can also spy on you, specially if your a peace activist.
Trust Us...
To protect your life and property. Unless your black and live in New Orleans. Then tough luck, your on your own.
Trust Us...
To spend the tax payers money wisely. Unless our friends at Halliburton/KBR come knocking and ask for generous no-bid contracts, or our friends in the auto or airline industries run their companies to the ground and need to be bailed out. Or give it away to selected religious organizations who can and will discriminate in ways not allowed to by the goverment. And let us not forget running huge deficits, destroy federal agencies and give tax breaks to the wealthiest 1% of the population.
Trust Us...
With the identity of those who put their lives on the line to identify present and future threats to the nation, such as Iran secretly building nukes, unless your hubby gets all huffy and writes an op-ed we don't like. In that case its open season on your ass.
Trust Us...
To when we say we do not torture or tolerate those who do. Except when we use a dictator's own dreaded prisons to continue their dark legacy or subcontract torture and murder to those nations who have never hesitated to maim or kill prisoners in their care. Oh, and we go out of our way to protect those officials who order torture by concentrating our attention on a "few bad apples."
Trust You...
To fulfill your oaths of office and provide proper oversight over the Executive. Except on election year, because where to busy right now. Could we leave that for latter? Maybe?
Trust...
Trust who? You! Fuck you!
