Stop Celebrating: We're SCREWED
From a website called Capitol Hill Blue:
It takes a reminder like this to force me back into the proper perspective. Republicans are terrorists--they're killers. And Democrats are the abettors of terrorists. Remember:
1. Bush lost an election and usurped power through a judicial coup, abetted by Democrats.
2. Bush--having no source of authority whatsoever--permitted a series of terrorist attacks on the United States, resulting in the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans.
3. Bush--abetted by Democrats--was declared a hero for having permitted the attacks.
4. Bush--abetted by Democrats--used the attacks, as well as a propaganda conspiracy involving forged intelligence, to bully/sucker the country into a war in Iraq.
And now, Democrats retain the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey, and a bunch of creationist whackos get kicked off a schoolboard in PA, and we're supposed to be dancing in the streets?
What does it matter that Bush's approval rating is at 36% ? What does it matter if his approval rating is 1%, so long as the opposition party refuses to acknowledge the horrible, criminal truth at the root of all "approval" he's had since 9/11/01?
What does any of this matter, so long as the country is being controlled by a party of violent terrorists and no Democrat--for FOUR YEARS now--has been willing to step up and call Bush out on it? Not only not call Bush out on it, but STILL praise Bush for his "leadership" through the "9/11" "crisis"?
Oh, my God. We really are done for.

GOP memo touts new terror attack as way to reverse party's decline
A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."
The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink, including a devastating attack by terrorists that could “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow.”
The memo says such a reversal in the President's fortunes could keep the party from losing control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections.
GOP insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy and point out that such scenarios are “blue sky thinking” that often occurs in political planning sessions.
“The President’s popularity was at an all-time high following the 9/11 attacks,” admits one aide. “Americans band together at a time of crisis.”
