Mark Foley Doesn’t Surprise Me

When King George the Younger ran for his first term as a “compassionate conservative” he identified two issues that the largess eager public viewed the Republicans as week on, education and health care. So GWB embraced the age old strategy of scoundrels seeking election, he promised to give the soccer moms what they wanted. Bush was elected and he kept his promise, not to those who voted for the so-called “conservative” platform, but to those who wanted the “compassion”. America got the short end of the stick, and the largest demand side socialist wealth redistribution scam since LBJ’s great society.

	Bush Republicans	Democrats
On Economics	Demand and Supply Side Socialists	Clinton/Blair Third way socialist
Governing Philosophy	Bigger is better	Bigger is best
Constitutional Philosophy	“how do I know what the constitution means I’m not a Supreme Court Judge”	Living document means what the courts tell us
Abortion	Good fund raiser issue	Good fund raiser issue
Civil liberties	Constitution is a “God damned piece of paper”	Only for blacks, gays, women and other victims
Family Values	Crap we talk about to get votes from Christians	Crap we talk about to get votes from Christians
Reforming Government	McCain Feingold, Brilliant incumbent protection	Why reform something that works so well?
Taxes	Lauffer Curve is a great way to increase tax revenues to spend more $ and keep buying votes	Tax and spend buys votes and power

When someone like Mark Foley comes along and does the “flaming fag looking to score” thing, I’m not surprised. This, like all other issues embraced by the republicans, is just a cheap knock off of something the democrats have all ready done. When Barney Frank had his sex scandal, he at least paid another guy for sex and let him run a whorehouse out of his apartment.

Ah, the Republican Party or as I like to call them “Democrat lite”.
