		<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, sorry to disappoint you Democrats out there, but I done seen the errors of my ways and come to my senses and I’m gonna be a Republican now. Yep, I decided to get with the program, hop on the bandwagon and go with the flow and join the Republican party. After all, 56 million Americans can’t be wrong, can they ? Yeah, I ain’t gonna be no dirty, low down, scumbag, godless, gutless, gun controlin’, pinko commie, tax &amp; spend, left wing, cut &amp; run liberal Democrat no more, I’m gonna be a fine, upstanding, decent, morally certain, fiscally responsible, compassionate, conservative, patriotic American Republican from now on, just like our outstanding former House Majority Leader, Tom Delay. Now there’s a fine example of a good Republican. And I’m gonna support the President, no matter what he does. Isn’t that what being a good American’s all about, giving the President total unconditional support, no matter what he does? Us republicans think it is, so that’s what I’m gonna do. Well, of course, unless a Democrat gets elected, but we don’t have to worry about that for at least two more years, do we now? It’s gonna be great, too, never being wrong, never making a mistake, never having to admit to it if you do make one. You know what they say, being a Republican means never having to say you’re sorry, and I just can’t wait to start my new life as a Republican. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I’m sorry for what I said when I called our beloved President ‘George WMD Bush’. That was just mean spirited. That’s something only a Democrat would do so I won’t be doing that no more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I agree with old George too, that since we’re the only superpower left, well except for that other one nobody ever talks about too much, we need to go ahead and get out there and conquer the world for Democracy. Freedom’s on the march, and it’s up to us to free the world. We can do it too, and I know just what to do. It’ll be easy, we won’t hardly lose no soldiers at all. We’ll just make two lists. On one list, we’ll write down all the democratic countries that we’re gonna allow to keep on existing, and on the other list we’ll write down all the countries we need to conquer. Heck, we can just put ‘em in alphabetical order and go right down the list! I guess it’s just lucky for old Fidel that Cuba comes after China. And speaking of China, how come nobody’s talking about attacking them and bringing freedom to the Chinese? There’s a billion people over there, and they deserve to be free, too. You know I don’t think they’re any more free under the commies than the Iraqis were under Saddam, and I’m pretty sure if you say something in public against the government over there, you’re likely to disappear off the street and never be heard of again, so we need to attack China and free the Chinese people. What we need is a good old pre-emptive strike, just like the one we used with such great success in Iraq. Matter of fact, all the countries in the world need to follow our example and start using pre-emptive strikes against their potential enemies. It’s way too dangerous to wait for any kind of smoking gun, you know. To all you world leaders out there, if there’s a country that you think might, someday, be thinking about, considering, possibly attacking you at some point in the future if they ever had the chance, then you need to go ahead and attack them now, while you still got the element of surprise. India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, North and South Korea, go ahead and slug it out now, why wait? So we need to attack China now, before they figure out that we’re the biggest threat to them and they do a pre-emptive strike against us! Oh darn, never mind, I keep forgetting the Chinese are our friends, now. They’re not godless communists anymore, they’re capitalists just like us. You know, come to think of it, I have been noticing lately that almost everything in my house that I’ve bought in the last four years says Made in China on the bottom. Well, I guess it’s ok if you’re not democratic, as long as it’s good for the economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, I agree with the Christian Right that it’s great to finally have God in the White House. George is the right hand of God here on earth, and he’s on a mission from God to bring freedom to the whole world. We don’t need to wait for that Jesus guy who’s supposed to be coming back to bring a thousand years of peace, let’s let George do it!. George’ll have it done way before Jesus gets around to it. And you know, everybody knows that us Republicans have the moral high ground in this country, and it shows in the kind of people we’ve elected, like George Bush and our great Vice President, Dick Cheney. They’re two of the most righteous leaders this country’s ever had, and if you Democrats don’t think so, you can just go fuck yourselves. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I sure am glad the people of the United States had enough good common sense to re-elect a true, American patriot like George Bush to be our President, and not some phony-baloney John Kerry who thinks he’s some kind of war hero just because he got a Silver Star and got shot three times in Vietnam. Us Republicans are way too smart to fall for that kind of propaganda. Everybody knows he worked it out in advance with the Vietcong to just wound him so he could use it for his own personal political gain when he was gonna run for president 35 years later. And I’ll tell ya something else too, the National Guard don’t let just anybody fly their jets around Alabama, you know, you gotta be pretty special to get to do that. It’s just a shame that somebody as smart as George Bush wasn’t president during the Vietnam War, cause then George would’ve got his chance to be a war hero when the National Guard got used for what they’re supposed to be used for and got sent over to Vietnam. Thank God we finally have an administration that understands how to properly use our armed forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And , as a good Republican, I’m gonna be listening to my new talk show hero, that great Republican and outstanding American role model, Rush Limbaugh. I’m even gonna join his club, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Republican Studies. Boy, that’s a long name, ain’t it? We’ll have to come up with one of them there acronyms for that. Let’s see, L.I.A.R.S. yep, that’ll work. Yep, old Rush has been makin’ a lot of sense to me lately, and he’s being tougher than ever on you Democrats, especially since he got out of drug rehab. Do whatever you need to do to keep it up, Rush!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, , I’m about done now, so I guess I’m gonna go see if I can’t tune in to the Rush Limbaugh show somewhere, I’ll talk to ya later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God bless…, I mean, Rush…, I mean George bless America…….&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Howie Klein @ 117, Dab from CT @150,&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah! I think getting Chris Murphy elected, along with Ned, is pretty crucial.&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Johnson has been pounding the airwaves with some pretty disgusting and dishonest commercials.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rothforcongress.org/index.php&quot;&gt;David Roth&lt;/a&gt; is still on your radar, Howie.  Roth has completely changed what it means to be a Democrat in the CA-45th, and we’re &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailykos.com/user/soyinkafan&quot;&gt;working so damn hard&lt;/a&gt; to beat Bono.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Swopa, sorry dude. I was so shocked and awed, I forgot to live blog. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I forget what she said, except for mentioning that Joe Lieberman understands the power of blogs and they were talking about the meeting w/big Dawg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No problem.  I just realized there’s a whole separate thread devoted to the subject.  (Jane must have made peace with her Treo.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
