Centrist, Uh Huh
From Power Line, a perfect example of how far Republicans have to travel before they are even on the same planet with the rest of us:
"If you were to compare our last three presidents in 100 words or less, what would you say? Here's my attempt....
George W. Bush: principles = centrist on domestic issues, hard-line on foreign policy; commitment to principles = strong; communications skill = average; communications approach = say what you mean; mean what you say; policies = centrist on domestic issues, hard-line on foreign policy."
What can you say? My suggested rewrite as follows:
George W. Bush: principles = pandering liar on domestic issues, unutterably stupid and belligerent on foreign policy; commitment to principles = none, other than the principle of everything for the rich; communications skill = are you kidding me; communications approach = If I said it, you can bet the mortgage that it's a lie; policies = wacko right wing on domestic issues, shoot first and talk never on foreign policy.
There. doesn't that seem to fit a little better with the facts as we have come to know them?
