The 2006 Agenda - All About Assfucking

The R's are always crowing about how many ideas they have; granted, most of them are recycled from the 1920s, and suck, and don't work, or are illegal under present law, but you have to hand it to them, they are fertile in breeding ideas. Kind of like a swamp is fertile in breeding disease-carrying mosquitos.

So what happened to that?

The WaPo details the 2006 agenda, here:

Republican efforts to craft a policy and political agenda to carry the party into the midterm elections have stumbled repeatedly as GOP leaders face widespread disaffection and disagreement within the ranks.

Anxiety over President Bush's Iraq policy, internal clashes over such divisive issues as immigration, and rising complaints that the party has abandoned conservative principles on spending restraint have all hobbled the effort to devise an election-year message, said several lawmakers involved in the effort.

While it is a Republican refrain that Democrats criticize Bush but have no positive vision, for now the governing party also has no national platform around which lawmakers are prepared to rally. [...]

In the absence of a positive national message, Republicans also hope to use long-standing "wedge issues" to galvanize their own base and try to put Democrats on record with unpopular votes. Congressional leaders, for instance, plan to push a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

See? After you lose a war, and an American city, create three trillion dollars of new red ink, and are hated for your drug benefit (!), all that's left is to remind people how much they hate assfucking. That's the R agenda for you right there.

You're going down, boys. It's over.
