GOP Party loyalty unto death (not your death, the death of others)

It used to be there was right and wrong. I know it’s more complicated than that. I know about the shades of gray and all but it used to be that when you did something wrong and you were in public service the people you served knew that it was wrong or that it was right if that were the case. Now there is only “party loyalty” that’s when you are loyal to your party even unto death, not your death, but the death of others. Now it doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong as long as you get the “talking points” from your party and you repeat them ad nauseum. A great example of this right now is Senator Cornyn, from Texas, he along with many others, keep saying this phrase "don't play the blame game." Which is really kind of heartless given the consequences of the Federal Government's failure to respond to Hurricane Katrina and seeing as how it's the fault of his party that the levee broke. Yeah, he keeps saying that like we are playing some game. I say, it's not a blame game it's accountability for this immense failure that is obvious to everyone but Bush and his people. Nonetheless, Senator Cornyn, keeps saying that phrase over and over no doubt infuriating some Americans who still have their conscience. See, it’s kind of like in high school when you were a popular kid you had to do some things that hurt other people’s feelings, you had to be mean and rude you know to fit in with the “right” crowd. Only it’s all grown up now and the rudeness and meanness got worse – way worse. It was alright though because you were popular so you just shove your conscience somewhere way down deep and do these hateful things.

I have lost all respect for the Republican Party. The Party of Criminals, Cheaters, and Con-Artists.

I have mentioned this before and it deserves repeating over and over again - a while back there was a magazine article on sport fans and how they would forgive almost any act from a sports figure if two things existed : the figure kept producing and the team kept winning. As long as those two things are present, then the fans will stay with the athlete.

That is what we have here and it is shameful. I do not give a flying fuck where the blame lies in all of this mess - but where it is found to lie, then those people should be immediately fired. But I do not expect too much from the Bush Administration. So far his one true success has been in the retaining people who should have been fired. He has yet to fire one person that deserved firing, while firing the few who have risen above politics.

Shameful.
