The Five Stages of (GOP) Death
By Nancy Greggs
DENIAL:
There was no vote tampering, voter suppression, or vote machine
manipulation in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Bush won fair and square.
No one could possibly have anticipated using commercial airlines as
missiles.
No one could possibly have anticipated that the levees would be
breached.
No one could possibly have anticipated that there would be a strong
insurgency.
There was no cherry-picking of intelligence.
We all honestly believed that Iraq had WMDs.
We never implied that there was a connection between Saddam Hussein
and 9-11.
We never implied that we knew where the WMDs were.
ANGER:
If you disagree with the Administration’s policies you are not a
patriot!!!
If you don’t get behind the president, you are aiding and abetting the
enemy!!!
The anti-war crowd is jubilant every time a US soldier is killed in
Iraq, because they want the terrorists to win!!!
BARGAINING:
Just give up a few of your freedoms, and we’ll protect you in
exchange.
Trust us.
Tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations will trickle down to
the middle class, so it’s a win-win situation.
Trust us.
Outsourcing American jobs will actually mean more high-paying jobs
here at home.
Trust us.
Let us put the country into debt -- it will actually strengthen the
economy.
Trust us.
Spying on American citizens is unlawful, but don’t you want to give
the president the tools he needs to keep America safe?
Trust us.
Torture is a terrible thing; but isn’t it worth it, if it saves
American lives?
Trust us.
DEPRESSION:
N.I.E. Report: "US War in Iraq Fuels Terrorism"
Bob Woodward’s "State of Denial" hits bookstores
Abramoff emails show ties to White House stronger and more
far-reaching than previously reported
Foley resigns amidst sex scandal involving under-age boys; higher-ups
implicated in cover-up
Vital information withheld from 9-11 Commission starts surfacing
Polls show steadily increasing gains for Democrats within weeks of
mid-terms
ACCEPTANCE:
November 7, 2006
RIP, GOP.
