The Port Fiasco - It's a GOP Trick
The quarterback drops back to pass and he fakes handing off to
the fullback. While the onrushing tacklers go for the fullback
the quarterback sneaks to the outside and hits the left
uncovered tight end with the game winning Hail Mary pass to win
the championship football game. In a move worthy of David
Copperfield the Grand Old Party has come up with the sleight of
hand move of the century.
The Republican Party is in power because Karl Rove is calling
the plays better than any Democrat. His quarterback George Bush
was a deserter. The opposition quarterback John Kerry was a
decorated war hero. No problem. Hire a few actors to go on
television in a swift boat and say that John Kerry was actually
a Viet Cong colonel who tortured John McCain.
The Presidents' father, the former President, told his son the
President, "Look, I lost the Presidency because I said 'Read my
lips, no new taxes. Then I raised the taxes and I lost the
Presidency. If you want to win the Presidency and become
President, all you have to do is to cut taxes. Who cares if the
deficit goes to a trillion dollars, and the trade deficit goes
to a trillion dollars, and we bankrupt the country? You will be
President, I will sit on the board of directors of the Saudi
Royal Family, they will funnel billions of oil dollars into our
Swiss bank accounts, and let the next President worry about it
while we live on yachts in the French Riviera drinking fine
French port wine." The President answered, "O.K. Dad."
Here is the Port Trick, otherwise known in Karl Rove's playbook
as 53 Red. The congressional elections are coming up in
November. Every Republican congressman and congresswoman is
doing everything possible to distance him/herself from the
President's glaring lies, mismanagement of the war in Iraq, the
imminent bankruptcy of the country and the Superdome fiasco. The
President, the Senate and the House are all Republican and they
are all going down the drain like American jobs fleeing to
China, whose new car the Geeli is about to hit the U.S. market
for $9,000 and get 225 miles per gallon. This all makes Ross
Perot sound like the Prophet Isaiah.
So how do the Republicans stay in power in November? The Islamic
Barbarianism over a stupid cartoon has every American even more
fearful and hateful of the Muslims than after 911. So Karl Rove
decides to pretend to sell all of the American Shipping Ports,
New York, Miami, etc. to the Muslim countries responsible for
funding and planning and harboring the 911 crews. The President
says to him, "Karl, we can't do that; they'll lynch me on the
lawn of the White House." Karl says to George, "Don't worry
about it George. Have I failed you yet?" While the country now
goes wild over the prospect of Osama bin Laden and Aymen Al
Zwahiri shipping nuclear weapons to Al Qaeda cells in Manhattan,
the Republican congress is now going to come to the rescue like
John Wayne leading the cavalry and block the sale. Then, the
Republican congress people are going to say to the American
people during the upcoming political campaign, "Look, we didn't
follow George Bush. We saved you from him. We stopped Osama Bin
Laden from owning your ports." Initially the bogus plan called
for selling all of the American airports to Iran, but while Karl
Rove and the Bushwhackers were rolling around laughing on the
floor of the Oval Office at the thought of it, Karl said in a
drunken stupor, "The American people may be gullible, but they
aren't that gullible."
