Previous to that my allegiance was to the Republican party , although my participation was minimal at best.
I liked Reagan because he's an easy guy to like , handsome movie star politicians were unique back then , and Jimmy Carters only entertaining quality was his brother Billy.
It wasn't any particular thing daddy Bush did to persuade me away from the Republican party , it was more a combination of deceitful actions, broken promises, and out and out lies that opened my eyes to the truth of what values the GOP holds dear.
Then you come to the administration of what I believe will go down in history as the most embarrassing , corrupt , and anti-American Presidency to date , our buddy Junior Bush.
Junior , along with fellow traitors such as Dick (how fitting) Cheney, Karl Rove , Rumsfeld , Wolfawitz , Rice , Clarke , Sununu , etc. , etc., etc. , were the proverbial icing on the cake for me to see what the GOP really represented , which by this time was obviously not the American people , at least not those who had annual incomes with less than seven digits , not including the decimal point.
This kabal of treacherous thieves got to work immediately by first stealing a rigged election and began formulating any methods they could to legitimize invading Iraq . After getting intelligence about an impending attack on the World trade center , they went the extra mile to insure that this event , unlike the previous attempt to destroy the towers , would be so horrific that convincing the American public that the only way to safety was through their leadership , and God help any unpatriotic sleazebag that didn't fall in line.
With virtually unlimited presidential powers , this administration set forth to force upon not only the American public , but the entire planet , their dark agenda , regardless of the effects on those they were sworn to protect , and the Constitution they were sworn to uphold.
During the 8 year despot-like reign of these thugs , 2 wars were started , deregulation of businesses that would soon nearly melt down the world economy and rob millions of people of their retirement funds , and drain every ounce of world prestige this great country possessed.
I found myself so infuriated and frustrated by these criminals , that I literally could not stand seeing them on television , if their image appeared on the screen I would immediately change the channel.
It was toward the end of Juniors 2nd term that I began to have hope , not because of a new election , although that helped , no , I began having hope when Bush's arrogance was so outrageous that his actions even pissed of his own party , at that point it split into factions what those behind the scenes spent 30 years building , a powerhouse party.
The tactics employed , the lies blatantly professed , the facts massively ignored , the deception so effortlessly embraced , the hostility toward a womans rights over her own body ,their anti-science attitude , the list goes on and on and on .
All these things have made the GOP an impotent , splintered , squabbling group of individuals who can only retain any power because of jerry-mandered voting districts , and whose only legislative priorities are to protect the elite , and to block all legislationthe Democrats introduce,
It's this abundant disclosure of their true inner beliefs, that are apparent for all Americans to see and understand , contrary to their belief that we are all stupid , that I thank todays GOP , and may God bless them on their journey to oblivion.
