STATE OF THE UNION PART 2: Democracy

From a BuzzFlash editorial:

The reality is quite simple: The Bush family -- and the Republican Party leadership apparatus -- has contempt for democracy as in inconvenient obstacle to achieving one-party rule in this great nation.

In his book, Phillips details the Bush family belief that they are a dynasty destined to rule, regardless of voter preference. Their inner political belief is essentially monarchical. However, Karl Rove and the late Lee Atwater convinced father and son Bush that they needed to play the "cultural populist" card in order to get within close enough distance to steal elections. That's how you end up with a dauphin prince president who plays the cowboy for the photo-ops but believes that he's king.

To the Democratic leadership who so easily "got over" the theft of election 2000, we say, never again.

Never again, will we permit a regime to seize power with the false appearance of WASP piety and integrity, a Third World attitude toward the totalitarian relationship between government and corrupt business cronyism, and a cynical relationship with religious fanatics who believe that they have a right to run America according to THEIR fundamentalist vision of what THEY believe God wants. Never again will the Bush Dynasty -- or another radical right wing clone -- make a mockery of democracy and be allowed to spend our taxpayer dollars in dismantling our Constitutional government brick by brick.
