Journal / ok, republican scandal #4,789,031…

a republican running for office in southern california sent a letter to latinos saying that they could go to jail if they vote.
awesome.
so let’s see…
republican pedophiles? check.
republican vote suppressors? check.
republicans indicted for fraud? check.
and so on, and so on.
apart from the fun of schadenfreude it’s almost amazing how quickly and comprehensively the republican party have fallen apart.
now most republicans aren’t mentioning the war or national security in their campaigns, and most republicans are doing everything in their power to distance themselves from bush and the white house.
the democrats still might lose the mid-term elections, but it’s safe to say that most republicans are not sleeping too well these days.
i wonder which of the following the republicans will try in the next couple of weeks?
raising the terror threat to yellow or orange?
asking bin laden to send in another threatening videotape?
lowering gas prices to $.25 a gallon?
comparing democratic amputee vets to hitler or pol pot?

it really is a shame that not a single republican is actually voting on republican accomplishments.
why is that?
well, uh, cos the only republican accomplishments seem to be a hyper-inflated deficit, a needless and bloody and expensive war in iraq, a poorly waged war in afghanistan, a disastrous response to katrina, tax-cuts for the wealthiest americans, outsourcing of jobs, and making sure that the teaching of evolution is kept out of classrooms in kansas.

should be an interesting mid-term election.
