...and the rest of us attend the same old dreary pep fests run by BORG Lite.
Helen Thomas nails it in her recent column: most Dems are Co-dependent Enablers.
The Democrats Who Enable Bush
By Helen Thomas - Hearst Newspapers Thursday 04 October 2007
Washington - President Bush has no better friends than the spineless Democratic congressional leadership and the party's leading presidential candidates when it comes to his failing Iraq policy.
=====
The Dems are a flavor of NeoCON Lite.
Not even "Republican" Lite!: NeoCON is the name of the game.
A group of Dem hacks simply want ownership of the same mechanism as the NeoCON crooks now in power.
Does anyone else find it utterly fascinating that our voice is an octogenarian reporter?
Are the new kids on the block too stupid to do the job?
The same creepy lot that played "office" under the guise of "Student Council" in Junior High, (though all they really had charter to do was decide on the placement of pep fest banners), are the clowns in Washington.
Helen Thomas one again brings it home in her piece.
Its the whole insider group that we rebelled against in 2006, yet it was more of the same we get.
Its not about change - its about re-branding the same old cereal as
"NEW & IMPROVED, Now extra crunchy with Iraq'n'berries."
We've allowed group think & complacency to rule the day.
To get the candidates to acquiesce when we should have a visionary taking us someplace new: The old ideas haven't worked so well, but are we really going anyplace new?
****
Never mind the Bushies have entrenched us in something we just aren't going to waltz out of...
This type of "same old, same old" thinking may just get us an election close enough to be stolen in the back room once again – by funky voting machines that seem to flip the vote in key states.
Trite telephone service commercials, adages about tigers not changing stripes hold true:
After all we're being sold & manipulated by ad agency propaganda & have been for the last 2 terms.
Shouldn't we spot future vision in those same commercials?
Why would anyone assume a Hillary or anyone who appeals to the conservatives will be any different than the status quo which got us Pelosi & Steny & Harry Reid?
...when we could have had Murtha, or Dean, before he was absorbed into the machinery & others who got actually them the run-of-the-mill Dem king-makers attention, by having balls?
The Bushies have betrayed American trust.
The NeoCONs undermined the principles this country is founded on & we believe makes it great.
They broke most of the parts which are not about maintaining the hierarchy they own. Its all down to propaganda.
The Dems aspire to the same thing & may just be betraying the idea of change.
They all see the same ladder to the roof in front of them. What got the NeoCONs there by being conspiratorial & sneaking up the ladder at the back of the house.
If they kick that ladder over, they have to be extra innovative finding an alternative.
The backdoor political ladder is still there, everything else is crumbling.
Yet we all want to believe that the guys in charge aren't COMPLETE idiots.
That deep down in their heart-of-hearts, they really ARE BENEVOLENT DICTATORS, even as Lazy George & cronies "Gilligans Up" the idealistic cogs of the democratic machinery that this country did its best to live up to.
The core of the Dem party like the Republicans who got ate up by NeoCON sleeper agents are just sitting on their thumbs waiting for the parade to start, so they can get in front of it.
