"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels
It's a no-brainer that the Republican leadership in this country blew it big time, and though President Bush was certainly not wholly responsible, the buck as they say, always stops there. If Bill Clinton could take credit for an economic boom that was initiated before he took office, Bush had to know that he'd never escape blame for any and all shortcomings in fighting this war - which was looming for decades - despite its modern challenges and unconventionality.
The RINO (Republican In Name Only)-ridden GOP, quivering with fear of the politically-correct, the media, and in some cases its members' pocketbooks, completely neglected its base. High-profile scandals reeking of immorality and greed originating from within the Party of The Moral High Ground certainly didn't help; they were understandably seized upon by the opposition and the media, and further alienated the base. In the case of Iraq and the border issues, the Bush Administration gave Republicans and Independents alike nothing to look toward. Bush's firing of Donald Rumsfeld (which Bush, loyal to a fault, should have done two years ago) and his tough talk of the last month was way too little, way too late. It is unfortunate that Americans' shake'n'bake perception of geopolitics forgot to remind us of the price we paid for nearly 50 years of a Democrat-controlled Congress.

"Rule"? Excuse me?
