The Worst President in History...

...won't be realized as such until well after 2008. Knowing how well the Reaganites marketed their man can only mean that it will take longer for the effects of Rove's machine of deception and double-speak to wear off in the eyes of the bulk of Americans. The entire Republican "Revolution" that began with Reagan (really by B. Goldwater) will eventually (measured in decades) be seen for what it really was: smoke and mirrors. Through the powers (e.g. marketing) gleaned from the actual constituents they represent (i.e. the upper business crust) Republicans have been able to support the latter by bringing along voters that are easily duped into believing they care about other things: "values", "country", "honor", "life", etc.

I can see Rove laughing his ass off at the "suckers" who cast their votes to protect the unborn while he and his cronies hand out favors to the rich and prepare their own diamond-studded path into the private sector once their "public service" has completed. Does any intelligent person actually believe that Carl Rove sheds even a single tear for the unborn child of some "trailer-trash" (the words in his mind) woman who got "knocked up" (again, his likely words) by another barely educated low-life (again, the probable stereotype in his evil mind)? Of course not. It is so easy for him, along with his fellow porcine political pals, to claim to pray for those whose "gift of life has been stolen" while actively giving to those who are in on the scam. One could say they are Reverse Robin Hoods: they steal from the poor to give to the rich.

These assholes are no different than countless others over the course of history. The difference is the blatant and professional nature of these goons' techniques. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" was valid in ancient Egypt and is true today. It is just so painful to watch...
