The GOP is suffering from its association with Bush! Will Wonders Ever Cease?

In the category of utterly laughable statements, see this one from a Republican trying to recover from the third Congressional special election loss in a row, this time in Mississippi in a "rock solid Republican district:" "Another Republican who spoke at the meeting, Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, said, 'We need to, No. 1, prove that we are listening to the American people, and, No. 2, show that we have a plan of action to respond to what they are telling us.'”

If the GOP (and the Democrats) were "listening to the American people," the war on Iraq would never have happened in the first place (the majority, even in spite of all the lies they were told - and to a considerable extent believed before the war - still wanted the UN to sanction an invasion before any invasion took place), and in the second place, that war would be over.

If they were "listening to the American people," the Bush regime would never have taken office in the first place (in 2000) or in the second place (in 2004).

If they were "listening to the American people," the Bush cabal would have been impeached long ago.

Wait a minute, come to think of it, they have been "listening to the American people," that is, the NSA has been, since February 2001!

Can you hear me now, GOP and Dems, can you hear us say: Begone with you, begone with your lying and spying!
