I had a long conversation with my old man the other day.  We were talking about how nowadays the GOP talks pretty openly about wanting to strike back the New Deal and how much they truly enjoy chipping away at liberal and progressive institutions.

The evidence shines brighter every year, especially in the one we just finished.

Karl Rove is a brillant, relentless and clever political strategist.  He is not, in my opinion, a god.  Nor is he the devil.

One of the great tragedies of the democratic leadership in the last five years has been their inability to notice that Karl Rove, Evil Sith Lord, likes to telegraph his plans.

In the days after 9/11, many of us saw how Bush II was using the tragedy for political gain.
We saw him telegraph the Iraq war.
We saw him telegraph his attack on judges.
But many of our leaders didn't see.

I drove past an odd little town in Central Florida the other day.  I had seen pictures of it before when our president visited it on the campaign trail last summer.  It's a town called "The Villages".  Sounds like the name of a town from some creepy 1980's John Carpenter horror movie...

This month, Jessica Lunsford was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a sex offender who was not being monitored closely enough by the state.  She was then buried in a backyard across the street from her distraught and heartbroken parents.

Any more of this and we will need to send mydd, Kos and others to a rape crisis center.

Dear Mr. Dean:

Though I openly supported Rosenberg (he reminds me of that quiet nerd in the back of the class that knew all sorts of dirt on everyone else), I eagerly await your leadership and I am interested to see what you can come up with.  I hereby pledge my person to work under your leadership in the greater good of crushing the facist cocksuckers who run my fed, my state.  As frustrating as it has been for the 49%, it is double-frustrating for us in Florida, as we are under the rule of Bush II and Bush III as well.  

Recently, the graying and wrinkly, yet plucky, Barbara Walters was given the P. Diddy treatment with a walk-through of the White House by King George and the Wife.  Possibly a payback for naming Rove most intriguing in 04, but either way, Bush II repeated the mantra that BUSH III is probably not going to seek the throne in 08.

If I had time to make a website, I would start www.fuckbobshrum.com.

I would list what a fucking loser this dick was and I would list every ignorant and clueless campaign mistake he ever made. Just to serve as a reminder to all hard-working democrats across the country, that when you campaign like a blind, wounded kitten, you lose.

From stating last March how they wouldn't respond to negative ads from Bush, to ignoring the Swift-Boat 24/7 assault, to making a long-winded Senator seem EVEN MORE long-winded, this guy deserves his picture in the SackofShit Hall Of Fame.

A Cautionary website for all who think that by campaigning like it's 1940, you can win.  A website to remind everyone that hiring a guy 0-7, will only serve to make him 0-8.  And make you unelectable ever again.

And after that I would provide links to other good sites like this one,and perhaps an interesting similar site called www.MaryBethCampaignkill.com.

Pardon my language.
I feel much better now.

God Bless you all.
