GOP Unfit to Govern? Where Have Right-Wingers Been?
Let’s see… The federal deficit is at a record high (or low depending on which way you’re looking at it). Our military is waging an illegal war, congress just legalized torture, FEMA made New Orleans more of a disaster than Hurricane Katrina did, the president spies on US citizens without securing warrants…
But it takes the exposure of a GOP representative’s naughty instant messages to a high school boy (and the Republican cover-up) for conservative pundits like Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily to face the facts that have been in plain sight for at least the last five years.
“Following the revelations about Florida Rep. Mark Foley’s sexually suggestive e-mails to a 16-year-old congressional page, I have concluded Republicans are unworthy of retaining control of the federal government.”
Farah has also decided that the two-party system is “just flat broken” because the pitiful Democrats “are not only unworthy, but also unacceptable”.
Hello?? Where have these people been all these years? Forget war, torture, the obliteration of civil liberties and the demise of habeas corpus. It takes a good old-fashioned gay sex scandal (an email sex scandal actually) to get the right-wing in a tizzy.
Death and destruction are perfectly fine, but let an old man talk dirty to a teenage boy, and it’s time for them all to be drawn and quartered. This is the party of “family values”?
