THE NEW REPUBLICAN HERD - tvnewslies.org

A new breed of lawmakers has lumbered onto Capitol Hill. They represent no one. They ignore their constituencies. They are blind to the issues that confront the nation. They cast their votes with no regard for the will of the people.

Their voting pattern is a window into their mindset and philosophy: They don’t vote with their hearts and they don’t vote with their heads. They vote only in lockstep and only as directed. One for all, and all for one, they dutifully vote with their party.

They are the new, mindless and obedient herd of George W. Bush Republicans.

Totally submissive, the GWB Republican herd methodically falls in line. Not unlike the suicidal terrorists they are taught to loathe, they follow their leader even if it means their own demise. They protect the corporations that poison the very air they have to breathe. They vote to eliminate the civil rights that are rightfully theirs. They vote billions of their own tax dollars to the Halliburtons of the world, even as they watch the quality of life around them crumble.

With each bill they pass, they and their nation suffer. With each law they support, they and the American people lose out. They seem to accept their own self-deprivation with stoic stupidity. How reminiscent of the pledge in Animal House who, after each paddle to his bottom, cried out: Thank you, sir. May I have another? And sure enough, they soon have another chance to perform to whip of their trainer.

... that Dubya is the lead lemming. :P

He certainly has the personality for the part--blinders on and full speed ahead.

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Matthew 15:14

66 per cent of Americans surveyed indicated that they did NOT want Bill Clinton impeached. Yet the Republican$ pressed ahead, obviously representing no one. They were, even then, moving in lockstep and only as directed.

Except for that one teensy little error, this is a GREAT article!
