The Party With A Plan
I'm so relieved. This helps me feel very warm and secure inside that the majority major political party in this country has it's finger on the nation's pulse, and is watching out for our interests:
WASHINGTON Apr 15, 2006 (AP)— Protection of marriage amendment? Check. Anti-flag burning legislation? Check. New abortion limits? Check.

Between now and the November elections, Republicans are penciling in plans to take action on social issues important to religious conservatives, the foundation of the GOP base, as they defend their congressional majority.
So despite losing in Iraq, nuclear threats in North Korea and Iran, rising deficits, trade balance problems, rising interest rates, rising energy prices, and corrpution at all levels of government, the GOP plans to focus on those burning (pun intended) issues such as flag burning.

This is sick. But I can totally understand why they are planning their campaign based on such vacant and relatively unimportant issues. The short answer is, ..... it works. It's the old bait and switch game with the ignorant ..... yes I said ignorant .... voters who continue to put these people in office. Billmon points out that it's pathological. I agree, and the pathology is in the U.S. voting public. Let's hope the upcoming 2006 election show some signs of recovery from the national pathology that was exposed by 911.
