More Republican Values

Ah, values. Evidently my flu-induced haze awakened a new sense of outrage at the complete subversion of the idea of "values" - and the notion that Republicans have laudable ones. Running scared from same-sex marriage, and committing yourself to making sure every fetus conceived is carried to term, do not a moral party make.

Lest there be any doubt that the GOP is in fact as corrupt as it seems, and has been since those heady days of the 1994 "Republican Revolution", the building story of the wink and nudge acceptance of the wholesale screwing of Indian tribes by Republican Revolution Crusader Jack Abramoff should serve as a telling reminder.

Shame on them, and shame on us for not being on the ball enough to turn them out. Say it with me: we are the party of values. Say it loud, say it proud, and campaign on it, dammit.
