GOP DOES IT AGAINFormer Congressman John LeBoutillier Here is how the Republican Party recently picks presidential nominees. The nominee must be: • The namesake son of a famous man; • A spoiled child of privilege; • Someone no one ever said, “No,” to; • Someone who always got away with terrible behavior because of his last name;
• Someone who always got what he wanted because no one wanted to anger Famous Dad; • Then he became someone to whom favors were given because people wanted to curry favor with famous Dad; • Then he became someone who - as an adult - always got away with bad behavior(s) because of his last name; • Because of all the above, this man became unbelievably arrogant and condescending; • He saw - and now sees - himself as better than anyone else; • Once in politics, he took his arrogance to new levels and adopted a “it is my way or the highway” attitude; • Anyone who ever disagrees with this man is cut out and blasted; • This man brooks no disagreement whatsoever; • He treats people like dirt - with arrogance and condescension; • On policy, he went against the GOP Base and wants to give amnesty to illegals; • On policy, he has never wanted a Border Fence; • On policy, he wants to attack and invade countries who haven’t attacked the US; • On policy, he has been part of a foreign policy that has ruined America’s reputation around the world; • He lies all the time - about everything. He happily lied about Iraq - the reasons for going in and the so-called ‘progress’ there; • He apparently can’t see the Big Picture: our invasion of Iraq has actually made (Shia’a) Iran stronger and destabilized the Middle East; • His policy has made America a hated - not a respected - nation around the world; • Yet he dares to invoke Ronald Reagan’s name? How dare he! • On policy, he wants more trade deals that ship American jobs overseas; • On policy, he loves doing deals with Ted Kennedy; • As a political candidate he is inarticulate; he can barely string three cohesive sentences together; he cannot even read a speech off the TelePrompter; he is a boring candidate; • Despite his arrogance, this man is not smart - but he thinks he is; OK. OK. We could go on and on and on! Who is this GOP Presidential candidate? Well, in fact, it is two GOP Presidential candidates. The last two GOP Presidential candidates: George W. Bush and John McCain. The similarities are startling. And upsetting. Because the damage Bush has done to the nation, the military and to the Republican Party will take decades to recover from. And now the Republicans - barring a miracle between now and the September GOP Convention in Minneapolis - have picked yet another candidate with the exact same qualities!!! Bush has crippled the Republican Party. We have lost the House, the Senate and many state legislatures around the country. McCain may finish it off. Until the Republicans wake up and realize the mistakes they are repeatedly making, they are going to suffer loss after loss after loss. Maybe a miracle will occur and in the next seven months people will wake up and stop McCain somehow and replace him with a good, new candidate. If not, GW Bush and John McCain can together take the Republican Party over the cliff.
