Delusional Republicans


This just in. The Republican Party can now be announced clinically insane. In an effort to invigorate the party they are turning to Bush administration insiders for guidance. Friday, they’re having a workshop for Republican press secretaries, and Bush alums are the instructors. Why not bring back Typhoid Mary to deal with swine flu? These people are so delusional about what the last eight years meant to America that they are turning to “battle tested” Bush alums for guidance going forward.

These people actually still manage to believe that the problem is getting out the word on what they stand for. I’m pretty sure Americans got a pretty good idea of what they stand for after eight years of Republican rule under the Boy King. “No, no! That wasn’t real conservatism!” Um, why didn’t you mention that at the time, rather than letting the economy go down in flames before discovering you needed a do over?

The evidence is all there. In spite of today’s lamenting of Obama’s deficits, the right gladly followed Bush into a trillion dollar mistake in Iraq, a trillion in tax cuts for the rich (I pay zero federal taxes) and an unprecedented run up in debt. Remember the outcry from conservatives about the massive overspending? Neither do I. Just another pile of hypocrisy from a party used to shoving it down willing dupes throats. At least now, some of the dupes seem to be reconsidering.
