What a joke the GOP is. More to the point, what a disaster they are. All the GOP candidates hoping to take Bush's place in office aren't going to be any better than him. By what they campaign on and what they have done in the past, it's going to be that same old, same old agenda.

Yes, tax cuts for the wealthy, stealing Social Security, taking care of Blackwater, Halliburton, the oil barons, etc. And oh yes, spending to the high heavens to carry on that godless war in Iraq and maybe even a new one they start in Iran.

And of course, just like Bush has done, all us commoners can expect to be completely ignored once again.

So unless all us plain folks are completely out of touch with reality, why in the name of God would we possibly want to elect these bunch of know nothing, do nothing good, wolves in sheep's clothing, back-patting Bush clones? And none of them will admit what anyone with one iota of common sense knows. And that is that the war in Iraq should never have come to pass, and by now should be ended. It's absolutely incredible that any one of them should think they have any chance of being elected. Who needs a president that doesn't listen to or care one bit about the mass majority they're supposed to represent? Their condoning of scare tactics, invasion of privacy, torturing prisoners of war is criminal and godless. And the GOP campaigns on family values and good Christian values. What a joke!

After eight years of Bush's dictator-like ways, I don't think anyone is looking forward to another four years of the same.

Enough of the G (Goofing) O (Off) P (Plenty) Party.

And the Democrats need to straighten up and start facing the reality that being wimpy and wishy washy doesn't sit well with voters. When dealing with the GOP, they need a reversal of form.
