Bush administration goals

The word Republican or should I say the R word is now evil because the Bush administration has shown the world and the citizens of America That it has only one agenda and that is to support the interests of big business and big money. Just follow the money and you will see the logic and reasoning behind all the Republicans bills and legislation, every single plan emplemented by the Bush administration and the Republican congress is aim at helping big business.

The vast majority of Americans view the Bush Administration as the worst in history. The wealthy elite are enjoying prosperity and Think George Bush has done an excellent job.

The allowing mexican trucks access to anywhere in the U.S. is just an example how Bush thinks. If it helps the bottom lines of some big companies it must be the right thing to do. Every single thing to come out of his administration has the same agenda.

Let Them Eat Newspeak!

How wonderful to read this post, it has been a long time coming for the right-wing fascists who turned the term liberal into a pejorative to see the tables turned. Republican should rank right up there with pederast and Nazi and assume it's rightful place as one of the filthiest of words in the English lexicon.

Republican

Dear Mr. McDonald
Republican/Democrat are simply two sides of the wrong coin. I have trouble accepting much of what you say in your article but what stands out is your assertion that the most Americans believe Iraq has something to do with 911? That smacks of Zionist patsy too me. No offense.

Warm Regards,

Roage

Many Republicans DO believe that Iraq had something to do

with 9/11. That is a statement of fact. I have no idea how/why Zionism comes into play. The Republican electorate has been fed a steady diet of lies with regards to that from their leaders.  That is why they believe that.

Republicans & Democrats are significantly different

First of all, as this is your fist comment here on opednews, I bid you welcome.

Second, I just want to make my voice heard and say that there are huge/ tremendous differences between the republican and Democratic parties. And are there many similarities too? Yes, of course there are, but it's the differences that make all the difference for me, for while I can often hold my nose and vote democratic - you'd have to hold a gun to my head to get me to vote republican, and even then, I'm not sure that I could do it.

Third, the differences are even greater if we compare the differences between the people who vote for democrats vs. the people who vote republican. And are there screwed up people on both sides? Yep, you betcha, there sure are, but...overall, the differences between the two are like night and day. It's like comparing True Amercans to Fascists. In fact, you won't find any fascists voting democrat. I could go on and on making other similar comparisons.

Mr. Roarge, I want you to know that I take offense with your saying, "Republican/Democrat are simply two sides of the wrong coin." We are (and I am) nothing like today's republicans. Bleech! just saying that in my head while I type it - it makes me want to throw up. No offense.

R & D

Neither the Republicans or the Democrats have the stomach to return real value to our money, abolish the Federal Reserve and return to a Constitutional Government. Until I hear that on either platform then a vote for either is a slap in the face of liberty and treason against our Republic.

Other then that do what you want.

The un-funny part about all of this is that any who vote for these imposters actually deserve what they get.

I imaging you are not offended enough to find out why these "Partys" are a danger so it is all just re-arranging deck chairs, isn't it?

gangs

Both the Republicans and Democrats are gangs -- rival gangs, however and not the same.

Capone was a gangster, but he opened soup kitchens. The Mafia or Cosa Nostra is a gang, but are (or were) more like medieval warlords than a common street gang which engages in senseless violence. All gangs and gangsters are not the same. The mob in New Jersey has long been said to control the trash pickup -- but the trash DOES get picked up! The Democrats are imperialistic and war mongers, but are far more competent running an empire -- Republicans are just common thugs. The ancient Roman empire was horrible, but they were not like the Nazis.

 It's important to understand the differences among gangs and not to lump everything and everyone together if we are to get real democracy and peace. It was important to understand the difference between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda or the Taliban -- lumping then all together was one way that Bush was able to enter into the current enormity in Iraq.

There are also various kinds of conservative -- some of them are even sane, but the propagandists have distorted the word "conservative" as much as "liberal" in their manichaean divide-and-conquer war on America. These war-mongering fascists, Christian extremists and Zionists are not conservative at all. The Nazi "National Socialist" party were not socialists; Stalinist Russia was not communist. Politicians choose names and words to deceive the people. The Democrats are not really democratic -- but they are not like Republicans. Many are conservative, and rather fascist -- but they are not Republicans.

The people are threatened by lions and tigers and bears (Oh, my!) -- but the those are different animals.

Update from the author:

Update from the author: This is interesting: two of the right-wing blogs that I noticed had no mentions of the word "Republican" on their main pages on March 31 (Captain's Quarters and Flopping Aces) must have gotten wind of my article. Both blogs posted new content today smothered with numerous mentions of the word "Republican." Maybe the right-wing blogs will rediscover the word "Republican" again for a few days in an attempt to try to show everyone that they're not really afraid of this tainted label....but mark my words, it won't last.

You Can't Fool All of the People All of the Time!

Republican is just another shitty brand name for a lousy product that has been marketed by a crackerjack public relations operation - but of course the blatant fraud can only go on for so long before the tipping point is reached. 

Now is the time to keep pouring it onto these motherfuckers before they can regroup.

building the brand

So, the idea is to tie as much of the shit they've created to their name as possible, just like the McCain-Lieberman surge, call it the Republican Iraq War, the Republican depleted uranium illness, Republican destruction of biodiversity, Republican globalization... oops Clinton gave us WTO.. Let's not leave out the DLC.

two sides of the same coin

If you got your news from sources not owned by the big five media conglomerates, you would know the differences between the two major parties. You could guess by reading bumper stickers like "When Bill lied, nobody died". And, of course you and G.w. Bush are the only people left who think Saddam Hussien had anything to do with 911.

"two sides of the same coin"

It is because I get my news from other source that I can conclude that talking about R vs. D or D vs. R is a huge red herring and makes no difference.  Either the "benificent" big government will make slaves out of us or the military industrial complex will make slaves out of us.

Neither are good for America and neither will ever be truly honest with the American People.  Both have sold us out for a buck or for power either to big business, international banking or Israel. 

For this huge debacle to occur all three branches must conspire and they are all populated with a mixture of both flavors of vermin all enriching themselves at our expense.  And while we keep returning to same rotten trees we will only harvest the same rotten fruit.  I say we saw them down and start over. 

It would take one Grand Jury and an investigation to determine that they are imposters and have never been under oath to the Republic.  They serve the United States of America Inc.  Since 1871 the people of America have been duped by these imposter and enemies of our Republic and it is high time the people of America start wielding the power they have had under there control all along and we can begin with the prudent application of real law.

Speaking as an outsider...

So what do I know, since I'm dutch.

The word republican refers to the constitutional state which the USA is, a republic, build by the founding fathers and their ingenious constitution. They have ideals which support the right and the freedom of the individual.

Even though the neocons don't mind hypocrisy at all they just realized that they're absolutely not republicans! They've become something completely different.

Right wing politics basically boils down to individual liberties and the responsibility of the individual to take care of himself. In it's extreme form this morally allows people to trick their fellow countrymen into invading other countries and forcefully grabbing their possessions (oil). Anything goes. Also taking control of news outlets and anything else that governs the lives of people. Actually they are redrawing the whole of society into a police-state where individual liberties do not exist at all. Of course the only people who ''benefit'' from this are a few super-rich people who have absolutely no consciousness.

And that is exactly what is happening. Therefor conservatives is what they are. They're putting everything in tin cans.

If you look up the dictionary version of the word...

That is what you get, but Republicans stopped being about individual liberties a long time ago unless you refer to two specific liberties in particular, the right to own a gun, and the right to pay as little taxes as possible. Other than those "personal liberties" they arent in favor of any.

Now CORPORATE liberties, that is something Republicans are for and take extremely seriously.

The DLC must be next !

The Pelosi-Hoyer-Emanuel House and Hillary's temple eunuchs in the Senate also need a good purging. A main problem with the Democrats is that under the DLC they are only the prostitutes working the other end of the street. They are beholden to Corporate America, Wall Street looters, AIPAC and the military industrial complex as well. Note the absence of any sort of true language that addresses the serious income inequality, the obscene social problems that exist today with millions of underemployed, uninsured and imprisoned under a Social Darwinist system that borders on state sponsored eugenics.

The Republicans are ripe right now mainly because the Bushreich gave away the whole game but the war at home needs to be taken to the DLC as well, look at the obscene amount of money that Hillary Clinton has already raised and if for one second you don't think that the neocon parasites are looking for another host in the DLC Dems then you are naive. That slimy little bagman Rahm Emanuel deliberately withheld funding from progressive anti-war Democrats in 2006 to ensure that the game would remain rigged in favor of the corporatists and the elite.

The oligarchy itself needs to be challenged and the existing political order is the Praetorian Guard. Time to turn the hoses on Washington and wash out the filth so that people can reclaim government for themselves.

Just my two cents

BUSHITES

Nice article!

We, at my offices, coined the term Bushites in 2002 before the invasion and applied the political nomenclature Fascists after the invasion, I was criticised by some Liberals as going too far, now they use it themselves regularly. In wake of the dumbing down of the GOP, since the Senior Bush administration, most of them today would not know what either term meant. Tom DeLaye is so pesticide intoxicated he may not even know what the terms, Male and female, mean. As for Limbaugh, he and those who listen to him, are still a laughing stock to even the few real Republicans still living. Well, it turns out that my joke about not needing cloning, as per, The Boys in The Band, because Satan provided reincarnation and the Fuhrer lives and breaths once again, although scattered like shotgun pellets, across any number of people in the Military Industrial Medical Energy Complex, was not so much a joke after all.

I wrote to one of the congressmen from my area, a Republican now recently retired, and asked how he could allow his party to abandon the GOP to fascism and he thought mine was a strong word, odiously applied. I argued it was more accurate since the party had moved inexorably to the direction of UBC, the Prescott Bush, Harriman, Walker and other such fellows, who lent the Fuhrer money to build factories and worse from 1932-1942 as well as several Nazi high level employees over seas and did not really completely divest of Nazi investment ties until six years after the war.

The spirit which supplied the family cash which brought us GW Bush, has now come full circle as it appears that Symore Hersh has found Cheney possibly with his hands in the Iran Contra look-alike-till, as we also predicted in 2003. Now, watch for the Cheney indictment we projected in 2004 to be handed down before the 2008 election, a September surprise of our own.

Well, spoken. My grandfather, cofounder of the AF of L-CIO in Chicago, one of the first integrated union decades before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in one of his many tutoring lessons, like Conan's father atop the mountain, but in our canoe as we fished Forest Lake Illinois before dawn, said to me, once, "Peter, there are those who have born in them justice, empathy and compassion and those who were infected with the virus they willingly invited, which disables the conscience and the heart, men who were created not by God, but by avarice. Where empathy resides in us, there in them resides contempt, where compassion resides in us, in them resides, brutality, where justice resides in us, in them resides bribery, lies and murder, and a love of sycophantic henchmen. They take everything they condemn as evil in others, and make it legal only for their friends.

"Long after I am gone (he died in 1955) and you are an adult-a Professor, I know, their Nazi hides will return and come to embrace everything bad in society and the criminal world. They will steal and make worse every evil and snatch our sacred documents and stomp on them with feet befouled by the blood of free men. Then will men of courage step forth once again, as they did in the 1940's, and throw them back into Hell."
Now, there was a prophet.
