Is the GOP Getting Desperate?
by Charles Coughlin
A recent news article notes that George Bush has lost the support of Southern women. Three out of five now plan to vote Democrat. One life-long Republican woman in the South denounced Bush as incompetent and compared him to President Ulysses S. Grant, whose reputation ranks just slightly better than satan in most White Southern households. The Republicans relied on Bush’s popularity with Southern women in the past, but his folksy charm has been smothered by his incompetence, arrogance and perpetual blundering.
As if the loss of Southern female votes isn’t bad enough, Bush has even more trouble in Yankee-land. The defeat of a three-term incumbent politician in a primary is a rare event. Incumbents almost always win. But Joe Lieberman lost big time in Connecticut and everyone knows his support of Bush’s Iraq War was the reason. The ghost of Joe Lieberman’s political career was already beginning to haunt the 2006 election. What could be done to stop this oncoming electoral train wreck? Apparently some desperate neocon propaganda is being up-chucked on ABC right in time for the 9/11 anniversary and just weeks before the November election.
Karl Rove didn’t actually produce “The Path to 911″ but Rove’s “swiftboat” spirit of dishonesty and smears is well-represented in the movie. Despite Clinton’s many flaws, Bill Clinton NEVER rejected a request to kill Osama bin Laden as portrayed in a completely fabricated movie scene. Clinton approved every use of force by the CIA during his time as President.
Ironically the Clinton administration did a respectable job of fighting back against terrorism. The federal government caught and sent to prison all the terrorists involved in the 1993 truck bombing of the World Trade Center. Clinton was able to do this without tapping our phones, shredding the Constitution, creating special prisons, torturing people or going to war with Iraq.
ABC is apparently showing some signs of caving. They are vowing to “edit” the movie, but no one knows how much or which parts will be edited.
Anyone who knowingly slanders someone (including ex-presidents) can be sued for defamation. If anyone has any doubts about the ABC movie being full of slander, consider this: “ABC has decided its miniseries The Path to 9/11 is so controversial and sensitive that it plans to air it next week without commercials…”
If this ABC movie is simply the truth, then why run it without commercials? And how do we know the sponsors didn’t make the decision to pull their ads (because the movie was full of slander)?
The neocons are liars. They have hijacked the Republican Party and they deserve to be exposed. If any traditional Republicans want to be re-elected in 2006, they had better come out loud and clear against illegal aliens since that’s the only issue big enough to make people forget the Iraq War.
