Tonight The Big Empty Head is scheduled to talk about immigration, and sending the National Guard to help. Somehow, my inner skeptical bitch says Photo Op!
Why? Look at this headline and click the link:
Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents: President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force
Building a fence, sending National Guard troops (um....who's funding them to do this? Bueller? Bueller? The answer is: I'll let you know after the speech. If he happens to mentions it.)
Also, my inner skeptical bitch says He just want us to really, really like him! His poll numbers don't bother Laura, but they really hurt his feelings!
That and he's desperately trying to keep the Republicans from totally losing control in the next elections. Yeah, right. At this point I don't think anything will help, unless the Democrats really screw up. And the sick feeling in my stomach says that they have several months to find a way.
Message to Howard Dean: Howard, I love you, but what the hell were you thinking when you said this?
"The Democratic Party platform from 2004 says marriage is between a man and
a woman," Dean said May 10 during a "700 Club" program hosted by conservative
Christian leader Pat Robertson on his Christian Broadcasting Network.
Yes, you did redeem yourself:
"I misstated the Democratic Party's platform, which does not say that marriage should be limited to a man and a woman, but says the party is committed to full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and leaves the issue to the states to decide," Dean is quoted as saying in the statement.
"The Democratic Party remains committed to equal protection under the law for all Americans. How we achieve that goal continues to be the subject of a contentious debate, but our party continues to oppose constitutional amendments that seek to short circuit the debate on how to achieve equality for all Americans."
This is what I mean by the party finding a way to screw up. We need to get our act together! Now!
See you after the Big Empty Head speaks.
