Bush Has Put the Nation at Risk – It Is Time for Democrats to Stand Up

Our personal safety and the future of the nation are at grave risk. The Republicans are craftily turning this fiasco that may be criminal malfeasance into an example of why big government doesn’t work. Well, it doesn’t work because we have a man with arrested development, who lives in a bubble, running the government into the ground. Bush has said he’s our CEO. Well, any CEO with his record of failure would have been fired long ago…

It’s time for the Democrats to rise up and stop doing business as usual on the Hill. This is not a time for the hesitant and cautious politicians who consult their high-paid pollsters and image makers before making a move.

The Republicans — and Bush in particular — hand the Democrats GOP political vulnerabilities on a silver platter, day after day. But the Democrats retreat as soon as Rove sends out his message points of the day. “Oh, we don’t want to be perceived as blaming the President and appearing partisan.” Are they nuts? We have the most partisan, selfish, manipulative, sleazy, dishonest, corrupt White House in memory, and the Democrats get scared that they might be called partisan!

Message to the Democrats: you should be defending the interests of the United States of America and its citizens, not worried about how Karl Rove is going to define you. Define him and Bush first.

While the Busheviks were implanting the “It’s not time to play the blame game” mantra in the media (which we can be relatively sure was tested out in an overnight Frank Luntz focus group), the Busheviks were simultaneously blaming local and state officials for the New Orleans recovery disaster. As usual, they took a public “above the fray” posture, while they were knifing people in the back by trying to evade responsibility…

The Democrats have to come out fighting for the national security of America. Forget about an investigation. The facts are in, Bush was in Neverland and the Governor of Louisiana couldn’t even reach a high official in the White House as New Orleans started to become unglued…

It’s time for the Democrats to rise up and stop doing business as usual on the Hill. This is not a time for the hesitant and cautious politicians who consult their high-paid pollsters and image makers before making a move.

It’s time to come out fighting and battle back against the spin, the message points, the slander, the treason, the lies, the incompetence, and the complete lack of accountability that is the hallmark of this ill-fated regime.

  1. I think the writer of this article is totally mistaken…Bush is NOT the cause of the American malaise, but just a symptom. Replacing him–with whom? Mad Max Cheney? A wriggling-piddling Democrat?–will not even begin to resolve the problems facing an America in decline, in denial, obese in its illusions, driven by lunatic, extremist passions…No, Bush didn’t put the nation at risk–the American people put their country at risk; it’s time for the American people to stand up, but I wouldn’t hold my breath here.
