Republicans and conservatives continue their spiral...

I came across an op/ed piece about the Sacramento Bee cartoonist who also capitalized on the shoe-flinging experience that Bush had in Iraq recently. (read here)

As Rob points out the comments were nothing more than humorous if not completely out of touch:

"Conservative readers have dropped it in droves. Young liberals don't read, and thus can't pick up the slack."

Young liberals don't read??

It's poison like this that conservatives continue to dish out, but have absolutely no basis for. Given that most conservatives are in those "red states" that have a lower education rate. Unlike the coward that posted such trash -- I can at least back it up with substance:

- Look at the top 10
- Look at the bottom 10

1.) Vermont (OBAMA)
2.) Mass. (OBAMA)
3.) Conn. (OBAMA)
4.) New Jersey (OBAMA)
5.) Maine (OBAMA)
6.) Virginia (OBAMA)
7.) Montana (MCCAIN)
8.) Wisconsin (OBAMA)
9.) Iowa (OBAMA)
10.) Pennsylvania (OBAMA)

as opposed to:

41.) Georgia (MCCAIN)
42.) Hawaii (OBAMA)
43.) New Mexico (OBAMA)
44.) Louisiana (MCCAIN)
45.) Alabama (MCCAIN)
46.) Alaska (MCCAIN)
47.) California (OBAMA)
48.) Mississippi (MCCAIN)
49.) Nevada (OBAMA)
50.) Arizona (MCCAIN)

So it would seem that our uninformed midget of a poster would rather mud-sling with lies and fact-less bull crap, than to address the reality that Bush deserves the tainted marks in history. This entire process of trying to make sure he can walk away unscathed is nothing less than criminal -- not after how the Republicans filleted and crucified Clinton for what he done. Oh no, my little elephant friends -- you don't get the pass you're trying to create.

Because the shoe flinging episode is completely appropriate given the symbolic meaning and social implication it carries in the Middle East. Now Republicans conveniently dismiss anything this President has done -- assuming that there's absolutely nothing wrong with killing innocent people in a baseless war in the wrong country. It's horribly unreasonable to have this President trying to re-write his own history that paints the world he wanted to leave, but simply couldn't because he messed it up so incredibly bad.

And that's what the Anonymous mouse doesn't understand or get. Instead of realizing the meaning behind the cartoon - and commenting on the validity of relevance of how this is going to be in history -- he would rather tout some phony line that "young liberals don't read" as some boldface lie in order to deflect and dodge the overriding issue.

It's the standard Rush Limbaugh approach to the conservative party -- and I'm thankful for Rush for having the lack of intelligence to see what it ultimately did to his party of choice. Americans are incredibly pissed off with Republicans and how they've guided our nation into one of the biggest messes most all of us have never seen. They've seen through his smear and factual irrelevancies to really see how much the Republican party cares about the nation.

They'd rather tend to their profits at the cost of American lives than see any of the resounding reasons that led us down this sordid path that we've been on. It started a lot earlier than the Democrats taking control of the Congress -- but that's not what your Republican Faithful will say. They seem to glaze over the fact that the economy was already in trouble with a skyrocketing national debt and unthinkable tax cuts for the rich having any effect except how much it was going to line their portfolios.

Look where that got us.

...and thankfully Americans saw the light as well.

I refuse to let this President "save face" so that any form of his legacy is protected. A real President, a real man -- doesn't care so much about his ego, but cares about every single decision he makes so that it serves his country at its best. That's what makes Obama much more appealing because you get the sense he really does care and can see the big picture.

Bush has been a failure - and he has a lot of fingers to point to -- but it has to start with himself and I don't see that happening anytime in the rest of his lifetime.
