If Neocons Were Smart . . . . .

February 12, 2008

. . . . They’d be Ron Paulians.

But, alas, they are not. They are all sychophantic, bootlicking toadies for the Republican Party. Never was this fact made so clear than by the hilarious cover of the current Newsweek announcing that Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, and various other neocons are very, very unhappy with McCain. Poor babies.

The Newsweek cover screams the question: What the hell are they complaining about?! These neocons have slavishly supported virtually everything Bush I and II have done. They have defended torture, suspension of habeas corpus, warrantless wiretapping, intimidation of congressional critics of the war, total war on civil liberties, concentration camps for Muslim-Americans, the bombing of Iran (for starters),and above all, Dub-Yuh’s never-ending War on Terra, which he once promised would last forever.

This is also John McCain’s agenda. His entire campaign is one big promise of MORE OF THE SAME THINGS that Limbaugh, Hannity, and Coulter have been defending for years. Their hero, Dub-Yuh, strongly defended McCain just yesterday. Give me a break!
