Desperation, thy name is Republican

I call desperation on the Republican Party. When the biggest Dick says the Democrats aren’t capable of keeping the country safe, baby he’s desperate. His party had the watch on September 11, 2001, and since that day he has used that event like an old lady uses her age to get her way. We all know they can’t make a speech without sucking a little more blood out of an already nearly dried out corpse. Kind of strange to me that they would want to constantly bring up the worst failure of their time in office. While Richard Clark’s hair was flaming like a forest fire because he was trying to warn them that UBL was the biggest threat to our safety, they were fiddling around with plans to blow up Iraq.

We know how Rove works. Find your opponent’s strongest asset and then attack it and try to make it appear to be their weakest. Kerry served in the Navy in Viet Nam, and he was running against what appears to be a fellow who sort of, maybe, served some or part of his time in the Texas Air National Guard. So what to do? Convince the public that Kerry’s military record is shoddy at best. That’s Karl for you.

Based on Karl’s way of handling opponents, could it be that they know that Democrats are very competent? That’s what scares them, and that’s the Democratic asset they see as the strongest?

Certainly we know that this administration isn’t competent when it comes to keeping our country safe. We are now fighting two wars, we have two enemies and the rest of the world’s population, for the most part, are not our friends. This administration has proven its incompetence over and over. Besides the almost 3000 killed on 9-11, we have close to that same number killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The soldiers aren’t safe, and if there had been any wisdom in the white house, we wouldn’t be at war in Iraq. Even the things they could not prevent, like Hurricane Katrina, they still couldn’t manage to handle. All these months have passed and still the Gulf Coast is in shambles.

Yes indeed, they are desperate. They have to be if they are trying to bring down the Democrats by touting Republican failures. You hear them talk about 9-11 endlessly, but you don’t hear so much about relief and progress on the Gulf Coast. That doesn’t stick to the wall for them.

Expect more of the same, but just remember, they only attack their opponent’s strongest points and try to make them appear to be their weakest. When your own record is so weak that you can’t tout it, but instead have to try to destroy your opponent’s strengths, you are showing your desperation. When that’s all they have to work with, it shows the Republicans have reached a desperate state of desperation.
