The point is one party cannot run on nice sounding words and phrases

[Wetzelbill]

alone, while collectively screwing up the whole country and half the world. You cannot be "Strong On Security" while presiding over some of the biggest intelligence failures in history, and losing two wars at the same time. You cannot brag about "cutting taxes" when people are losing jobs, taking pay cuts, watching health care, tuition and utilities bills skyrocket. You cannot run on "Family and/Or Moral Values" when you have a string of corruption and sex scandals and their coverups rocking your party.

People sooner or later will call you on your bullshit. The simple fact is, Republicans sound good, but they can't govern for shit. Especially not the Bush administration, who is in a special class of dumbfuckery all by themselves. While Karl Rove was seeking to make a permanent Republican majority, solely with buzzwords, hate and smoke and mirrors, his anointed Boy Emperor was putting together the worst and most disastrous presidency of all-time. GOP clowns in Congress did little more than rubber stamp all of this monumental stupidity. It was pure power mixed with catostrophically terrible policy.

People can be tricked by words for only so long. Then they look around them and see that the emperor has no clothes.

That's what happened on Tuesday.
