The Hammer in the Slammer
Some of the people I work with who vote Republican claim they do so because of the family values appeal. I'm not kidding. As cliched as the family values phrase has become, with everyone snickering at the mention of this trite political buzz phrase from over 10 years ago that has become as meaningless as a Michael Jackson child molestation charge - there are actually people out there who still cling for dear life to the phrase that has become the butt of all jokes and even used as a mocking, humorous marketing term for hard rock tours. I actually share breathing space and hole-punchers with them on a daily basis.
Today's current Republican has different values than those not in the part. For example, Tom Delay was just indicted for criminal conspiracy. Bill Frist is being investigated by the SEC, and he may face criminal charges. Karl Rove is still under investigation for revealing the identity of an undercover CIA agent. I hope all three share a tight, federal prison cell with some of the very people they've fucked over with their policies over the years. I hope they get introduced to the "dropping the soap" cliche on their first day.
These are three of the most powerful men in the Republican party (there are no powerful women), and much of the country still supports them based on their "moral values."
Listen for how many times in the next several weeks these three scumbags blame their criminal behavior on partisan politics. Listen for them to tell you they've done nothing wrong, and shame on anyone calling them on their bullshit behavior.
Listen for the Sean Hannity's, Bill O'Reilly's, and Rush Limbaugh's of the world, claiming the moral high ground every day on their pathetic, lie-filled, political hack talk shows, supporting these criminals. Listen for their totally ill-informed, zombie-like conformist followers blame the Democrats for these three felons breaking the law. Listen for the Church going, super-Christian, Church bake sale attending, Stepford Wives from the fly-over Red states verbalize how incredibly ignorant they are for thinking these white-collar crooks are wholesome, family values gentlemen.
Listen for your President and his spokesperson totally sidestep and dodge any question about the behavior of Bush's three biggest allies in Washington.
Now listen for the laughter, mockery, and free-falling level of respect. That's the rest of the world, and they're pointing at us.
