The Republican control of the US government has netted us nothing better than a war of choice managed by incompetents, out of control debt, disregard for terror threats, increased terrorism, subservience to private business interests and their crooked lobbyists, gutting of environmental protections, attacks on constitutional rights and civil liberties, suppression of science, lies, cover-ups, wars of choice, torture, secret prisons, you name it.
This week the whole bag of poo that is GOP dominance has been lit on fire by ex-Representative Mark Foley’s email and the subsequent cover-up by Republican house leaders.
I don’t trust the Democratic party any more than I trust the Republicans, but in an environment in which politicians place the interests of party above the interests of the country, the best we can hope for is divided government. Only voting for Democratic candidates will do that. Only that will bring the oversight, the checks and balances, and the accountability that we so desperately need.
Let’s hope this bag of poo continues to burn on the doorstep of every Republican candidate for national office.
