The Republican Party has no platform but has the capability of shifting the blame of Bush's financial recklessness and place it squarely in Obama's hands while proclaiming themselves reformers to their dumb downed base : Allen L Roland
The wooden stake of the truth was never used to pierce the heart of the dark soul of the Cheney/Bush administration.
As such, their evil deeds of illegal preemptive war, occupation, illegal renditions, spying and torture continue to be unpunished and seemingly swept under the rug by an Obama administration ~ who has gladly adopted some of these very same abuses of power.
But the Republicans can't run away from one date and that date is 9/11/2001. No amount of Obama bashing or obscuring the facts can hide their culpability for knowingly allowing America's greatest tragedy ~ now that the glaring reality of our preemptive failures in both Iraq and Afghanistan are becoming common knowledge.
The 9/11 Pandora's treasonous horror box will be opened eventually and the Achilles' heel will be the torture induced false confessions to 9/11 ~ which were sanctioned by two of the 9/11 facilitators, VP Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. In an interview with Press TV, Philip Sands, the author of Torture Team, blamed lawyers close to former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for marginalizing international laws to sanction the torture of detainees at US-run prisons. Sands cited a memo that Rumsfeld signed on December 2, 2002 as proof of the US officials' crime. The memo sought to help the US government coerce imprisoned suspected terrorists into revealing intelligence.
It's all an elaborate Kabuki theater with the Republicans doing their so-called obstruction dance with the gutless Democrats, who have settled for piecemeal change, while Wall Street continues to raze Main street ~ and it's all based on lies !
President Obama has become a true master of deception. Obviously, Obama is fully in sync with BP and the global financial elite ~ that photo of him swimming in the oil laden Gulf with his daughter was, in actuality, not in the gulf. The official WH picture was intended to provide evidence that the region's beaches are back to normal. Yet it soon emerged that the private beach on which it was taken, in St Andrew Bay, north-west Florida, isn't technically in the gulf ~ It's a bay inside the Gulf protected by barrier islands. All of this while unexplained dead fish are piling up on the East coast as toxic Oil plumes make their way north and eventually Europe ~ where all hell will break loose.
Meanwhile, A University Study contradicts Government Estimates, and reports that up to 79% of Oil could remain ~ a group of scientists say that most of that BP oil the government claimed was gone from the Gulf of Mexico is actually still there ~ raising the possibility of another undisclosed BP gusher well. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/17/gulf-oil-spill-university_n_684343.html
But the biggest ongoing lies are the deceptive economic statistics which are seemingly propping up a deepening economic depression ~ which neither Republicans or Democrats will reveal to the American public.
Here's the truth, as revealed by Paul Craig Roberts, ICH ~ " Our government tells us that the unemployment rate is just under 10 percent, a figure that would have wrecked any post-Great Depression administration. But, again, “our government” is lying. The reported unemployment rate is just below 10% because the US government no longer, since the corrupt Clinton administration, counts Americans who have been unemployed for longer than one year. Once the unemployed hit one year and one day, they are dropped from the unemployment roles and no longer counted as unemployed.... Compare this fact with the number you read from the financial press. Right now, if measured according to the methodology of 1980, the US unemployment rate is about 22%. Thus, the reported rate of unemployment hides more than half of the unemployed." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26182.htm
So this deceptive political theater goes on and the Republicans are in essence saying to their dumbed down base and the American electorate ~ Why settle for Bush lite, Why not go with the real thing, We Republicans are no worse than those wimpy Democrats, We all lie, Obama lies just like Bush did, Welcome us back, We know you and love you, We will protect you, you are going to sleep ... going to sleeeeep ...
