Every Republican Out of Office

--- 2007-02-03 ---

It's time to do it. Every Republican politician who can possibly be removed from office MUST be removed from office. Republican control over all three branches of government has brought this country nothing but a whole heap of pain. The wealth of this nation is being squandered on catastrophically misguided military exploits. The Republican Party has lied us into this mess.

It doesn't much matter that the Republican Party had a glorious beginning. And we don't much care if you're a centrist or "moderate" Republican. You just have got to go. Consider yourself collateral damage in this war president's campaign of destruction. Thank him when your political career fizzles out.

You may want to consider switching parties now, while your career still has some hope of being salvaged, and so you will at least be thanked for helping America to change course. You have to live with your own conscience. You know this war was built upon lies, so how can you continue to rally behind your party of lies. They have already betrayed America, so they deserve at least your betrayal in turn.

All we care about now is that the Republican Party has become an obstacle to peace and prosperity, for America and for the world. And please don't point to how powerful the US economy is as some kind of test of prosperity, when the chasm between rich and barely surviving has never been greater. What I see is poverty like never before since I arrived in this country.

I see the streets of San Francisco teeming with homeless people. Many of these people are mentally ill, and the money that is being blown up in the form of artillery shells should really be going into building mental health care facilities. I read that violent crime is increasing in cities across America, after having been in decline for many years. Poverty is rising, and it's because our nation's treasure is being pillaged by war profiteers.

We see and we know where the Republican Party's loyalty lies - not to the American people, but to crooks and thiefs who are bleeding this country of the tax money obediently given up by citizens who thought they could trust their government.

For this war, the Republican Party must receive severe punishment, and it is the duty of each one of us to mete out this punishment at each election opportunity we now get.
