If the Democrats are the party of the Big Tent then the Republicans
with Bush as their leader are the party of the IncompeTent.

1. that's good and funny BUT...
GOP has been saying they're the "big tent" for a few years now.

3. Never mind
So the question is: How did the party of the Big Tent become the party of the IncompeTent?

7. The phrase was coined by the late Lee Atwater
Who was a pretty good blues guitarist.

The Republicans' shot at a Big Tent died with Mr. Atwater.

8. Yes, but...
...they lied. They forgot to mention that most of us weren't allowed in.

5. Tents and cardboard boxes....

If we end up living in them you can bet
big business and shrub will figure out
how to tax us for them. Big business will
figure out how to market them to us and
even make us feel lucky to live in one.
