GOP Buries Head in Sand and Discovers Sand

snip//

The Republican Congress still robotically follows their leader into whatever sinkhole he takes them. It's as if they have become lemmings, content to follow George Bush as he waddles them off a cliff. It is utterly inexplicable to see professional politicians - who can read polls better than anyone - throwing their careers away.

Because that's exactly what they're doing.

In a mere 19 months, every member of the House of Representatives is up for re-election, and if Republicans insist on blindly, unthinkingly, hypnotically following a wildly unpopular President and his inner-circle, and supporting disastrously unpopular issues, as their walls of Styrofoam crumble, they will go down in flames worthy of a Wagnerian opera.

The Republican Party has ceased being a political party and has instead become a cult, unable to question authority (unless it's Bill Clinton), while sipping their spiked Kool-Aid, knowing full-well it could lead to their demise. Republican Way disciples can insist that all this isn't so. But that doesn't make it not so.

As the Deputy Chief to the Vice President gets convicted of lying; as the Attorney General teeters on resignation; as the President's chief advisor comes under investigation for misuse of the General Services Administration; as the crown jewel military hospital is revealed in disrepair, as the President's approval plummets to 30% - and as Americans say they are dissatisfied with the direction of the United States by 61%-28%...the Republican Party closes its eyes to reality and follows its leader, just because he's its leader.

Zoologists believe this to be the first time in recorded history that rats have refused to leave a sinking ship.

Republicans deny the science.

They are too stupid to see the sand.

Global warming, evolution - and now, political science.
If they are set back for 2 decades, or go the way of the Wigg party, I couldn't be happier!
I'd like to see the Dems be the dominant party with the Green party as the main challengers.
