happy new year!

some 2006 tips for our friends on the OTHER side:


Offering our Republican friends a little advice for them to ponder in the New Year by August Keso, December 31st, 2005
Republicans have had a pretty tough time of it in 2005. In the spirit of George W. Bush's election 2000, promise to return cooperation to Washington politics, we offer our Republican friends the following tips, which should ensure they have a better 2006:
1 Dick Cheney: You requested and received 5 Vietnam deferments. Nobody believes you've suddenly gained a great deal of respect for the troops - you refused to serve with the "troops" 5 times. Quit hiding behind them every time someone points out your many -- and we do mean many -- Iraq lies (pre and post-war). Do this and 2006 should improve! Then again, maybe less lying would help too.
2. Republicans: God didn't "give" you Terry Schiavo, so you could finally impose your pro-life theocracy on America. You brazenly attempted to exploit one families pain and suffering, for political gain - it back-fired. The American people don't want religious zealots in their personal life decisions, so next time a family has a tough choice to make - pretend, as Republicans, you really are the Party of "limited government," and stay the hell out of people's personal business. 3. George W. Bush: You can't act as if the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution doesn't apply to you, and then claim to either support the Constitution, or pretend to be protecting citizen's civil liberties. Simply confess yourself the Emperor President, and let the people decide whether or not they wish to be ruled by such a person. It appears many are ready to ditch democracy, so you've little to fear in 2006. ...............
