Not Republican?

They're running.. screaming.. and as I predicted ages ago (and it didn't take any psychic power to do so), Republicans are trying, desperately, to pretend that they're not really Republicans.

On Monday on FOX News Dino Rossi was caught trying to trick Washington's voters. You may have heard that Rossi and 27 other Republican candidates in our state will not allow the word "Republican" to appear next to their name on the ballot.

Thanks to the new Top Two primary, candidates can choose what party label they want on the ballot in November. As we reported on June 11th, Dino Rossi will have "Prefers G.O.P. party" next to his name, which is clearly a scheme to avoid having the word "Republican" next to his name.

Or as one of their candidates admits in this newscast:

"There's 30 percent of the people in this state that would not vote for a Republican no matter what, and we want to get around that..."

I tell most Conservatives I meet that they aren't really Conservative.. The vast majority of Americans are liberals.

Most people are not political junkies. They just buy the themes, hook, line, and sinker. Many buy into what people like Doug Gibbs claim. Liberals are "socialists", "Marxists", "hate America", "hate the military", "hate the wealthy", hate "responsibility", and so on and so forth. But, if you actually talk about the issues, they ultimately are Liberals. The word is so toxic now that people instinctively avoid it, hence the new term that's used, "Progressive".

George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Republican rule over the last 8 years is archetypal Conservative. The results speak for themselves. Nearly every policy decision has had disastrous results for this nation.

Americans, deep down, know it.

Bush's approval ratings are at record lows.. and now we see Republicans pretending not to be Republicans because they know they'll lose elections. John McCain is going to get crushed.

It's time for those of us who have been right about virtually every issue and policy to drive.. and never forget how much Republicans have fucked up.. because "Conservative" will always fuck up. It's an inferior ideology, and we've had 8 years example by which to judge.

And never let those fuckers fun from the label. Evangelical Christian Freak Republican War Mongers are Conservative. It's not a surprise. Their baseline is "crazy", and everything else spins off from there.
