The Asshat Senator from Virginia
A few people asked me today what I thought of Senator Warner and his "non binding resolution".
angry? well yeah. you could say that...
In the last 6 years, where I have repeatedly watched the President of the United States called every name in the book, where I have watched a country denigrated by its own citizens and their representatives in both Houses of Congress while its own men and women were away during a time of war, yet after all of it, I have never in my 45 years of life ever seen anything that has made me so stomping mad as this.
Warner, You fat bastard. You unthinking coward. You slimy warthogs rectum. You walking colosotomy bag. You mouldering sack of crap. Get out of my party!
I can take Dick Durban calling our own military the equivalent of nazis, I can take a former President saying that we are "supporting the jews" and somehow making it sound like its a bad thing, I can take the near endless lies and slow assassination of the President by Democrats on an almost daily basis for 6 years but I cannot, nor will I accept from a member of my politcal party the kind of gutless, wincing, crybaby cowardace that is in display by my party as is being done at this moment by the Senator from Virgina. Make that former Senator, because to me, he's mud.
If I do not see the head of the Republican Party revoke this mans membership from the party or otherwise publically rebuke this dottering, infeebled, spinach chinned, daiper wearing jackass in very stern public and exacting terms, then I will leave this party. Having John Warner in the Republican Party is just not all that different from having Jane Fonda in the party, except that Senator Warner has slightly bigger breasts and a better signing voice than she, and I may point out that neither of those things we are in any particular need for right now. We need to support our President. We need to defeat the enemy, we need to let our military go do the job we ask them to do with the tools we begrudgedly have given them.
Dear God in heaven, do not fail to send me enemies, but oh please dear lord save me from my friends.
When this party has retreated to the point that the best and most forceful spokesman that is left for the Republicans is Joe Lieberman, then the Republican party is no more. When the day comes when a man who has the clarity of mind to marry Elizabeth Taylor (because he was sure that this time after all the other marriages, that it was sure to work) is considered to be a "stalwart right wing thinker" in the Republican party, then perhaps its time we refomed the Whig Party and waved goodbye to these aging party boys that have grown too fat in the ass and too damn deaf and dumb in the head to see the consequences of their acts.
This act, this "non binding resolution" will kill our men and women in the military. It will kill them because it has shown the enemy exactly how to win. Dont fear their Aircraft carriers, dont fear their bombers, dont worry about the Marines, just kill 3,000 Americans and they will run home like squealing little crybabies.
You want to end the war? then agree to fight it. Take the fight to the enemy and press it home until they give up. That is our task, nothing more, nothing less. To fail in this fight is to only ensure that our grandchildren come back to fight "Gulf War III".
Two wars in the Gulf has been enough for our country to bear. Let's end it here. Lets not have to go back in 20 years because we decided today to leave another dictatorship in place to threaten our country in the future. Let's leave a democracy behind this time and undo the curse left by our Governments cowardace in backstabbing the people of Vietnam.
This man Warner deserves nothing but the very largest steaming cup of contempt that can be thrown into his face for this bald attempt to gather the love that comes from the end of a camera for his own personal fulfillment over the responsibility that comes with governance within the party of ideas, the party of liberty.
We are not Republicans because it is easy; we are Republicans because it is hard. You cannot be Republican by default, you have to choose to be a Republican, and its a hard choice to make. Public sentiment has always been against Republicans, and dont expect that to change any time soon. Since the days of Lincoln, our party has always made the tough choices that life requires and weve moved human liberty forward as a result despite the collective entropy of the masses that always seems to say that we should 'do nothing', and weve done it all the while getting kicked in the shins by 'public sentiment', but we dont care, were not here for the love of the camera. We are here for love of country, of our nation, of our liberty.
If its the love of public sentiment that you want, then go be a Democrat, but if you wish to serve your country rather than yourself, then be a Republican. But remember, its hard. No one will like you, your friends will ostracize you, your neighbors will draw the blinds on the windows as you walk by, you will have to hide your party affiliation from those you date, but you will know in your heart that doing the right thing very often means going against what makes people happy in the short term, but you know that it must be done. That's what makes you a Republican.
I say a very public and hearty "Screw him" and that goes to anyone on our side that decides to back this 'non binding resolution'. And dont ever ask me again what I think of this man or any of the other cowards who now abandon the President, this country and its military in a time of war. You aught to know me by now...
(from the musical 1776)
Does anybody care?
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
They want us to quit; they say
Frank, give up the fight
Still to Alqueda I say
Good night, forever, good night!
For I have crossed the Rubicon
Let the bridge be burned behind me
Come what may, come what may
Commitment!
The croakers all say we'll rue the day
There'll be hell to pay in fiery purgatory
Through all the gloom, through all the gloom
I see the rays of ravishing light and glory!
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?

Frank - Warner was elected to the Senate in 1978. He's been there coming up on 30 frakkin' years. He was there before the Iranians took the Teheran Embassy. Before Reagan was nominated for the presidency. Brezhnev was still SecGen of the USSR.
How long could you drink from the Potomac before catching The Fever?
If ever there was a clear-cut demonstration of the need for term limits on all elected government positions, this may be it.
BTW - Warner's position is positively brawny when compared to the Governatorized GOP we've got in CA.

I grew up in Maryland and for years I had to put up with the Beltway "Republicans" such as Connie Morella and Warner.
Warner's actions come as no surprise to me at all...when Ollie North was running for an open seat in Virginia (as a Republican), Warner campaigned for the Democratic opponent.
He was a RINO before the term was even coined...
