change? what change?
according to lamar alexander, barack obama’s landslide victory wasn’t really a vote for change.
and the significantly larger democratic majorities in the house and senate? yeah, those weren’t a mandate for change, either.
no, according to lamar what america wants is more of the same, with different people managing the sameness.
quick quiz: is lamar alexander…
a. tone deaf
b. in denial
c. not very smart
d. a bad propagandist
e. all of the above, and a bad dresser to boot
lamar and his republican friends are working awfully hard to sell america that we’re a “right-of-center” nation, despite the recent blowout. despite the fact that republicans ran our collective train off the rails over the last 8 years, and americans repudiated the conductors accordingly.
lamar and co. are screeching desperately that obama and democrats are going to mess things up — apparently not noticing what a whoriffic mess the gop made of things during the bush administration. or are they just hoping we didn’t notice?
note to republicans: we noticed.
note to lamar: you and your sycophantic ilk are over. americans (for that matter, the entire world) are tired of your incompetence and your loathsome, unthinking support of the worst a rogue administration could cook up.
america voted for change.
and the question is, are you with us — or are you with the enemy?

Interesting, but unsurprising, that for all the talk of change, you embrace the Bush-Cheney “you agree with us or you’re the enemy” rhetoric. And insulting his clothes - sounds like the same old partisan rhetoric you chastise the other side for engaging in. Do you really wonder why people doubt the “change” line?
