"Wolves", DU's Home Page, A Must Read....

Plaid Adder saves her best work for when it's needed most. Wow!

Snip:

What they are desperately trying to prevent the rest of the country from figuring out is that Bush's accession to office in 2000 was exactly the sign of weakness that the "Wolves" ad says the terrorists were waiting for. The 2000 election was a giant, loud, flashing red signal to the rest of the world that something had gone terribly wrong with this country.

The absolute basic minimum that you need to maintain democratic rule is a mechanism to ensure the smooth transfer of power at the appointed time to the legitimately elected representatives of the people. The 2000 election proved that we do not have that. Instead, after weeks of insanity, our leader was chosen for us by a split decision which was made by an appointed body, which broke down along partisan lines, and which was based not on the rule of law but on - what else? - insane troll logic. And we sat there in shock and let this crowd roll right over us into Washington.

What could possibly have made us look weaker than the installation of a president who did not get the majority of the popular vote, almost certainly did not win the electoral college vote, and on top of everything else was incapable of convincing anyone who wasn't already part of his base that he had the intelligence and the experience necessary to lead the most powerful country on the planet?

What could tell the world any louder or more clearly that we are rotting from within than the fact that we have allowed a man who is clearly dangerously incompetent, assisted by as corrupt a cabal of sycophantic parasites as ever gathered around the throne of any tinpot dictator, to loot the economy, intimdate his political opposition, muzzle the 'legitimate' press, and get our army so thoroughly mired in two foreign wars that even our National Guard isn't around to defend us at home?

What more enticing sign of weakness could we offer those slavering wolves out there in the forest than the first Bush term?

Well, that one's easy: The second Bush term.
