Much like the farming/ranching community (which also votes heavily Repbulican), it takes a special kind of blindness to receive government handouts right and left and still find a way to bitch and moan about the small amount of benefits going to those who are worse off.

It’s 12:30 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone when thousands of sheep suddenly die?

Republicans have primaries and caucuses as well. They selected the exact same idiocy, John McCain. Bush & McCain are the Republican Party. They are what they represent. They are what they’ve selected.Look at the alternative, Huckabee? Are you kidding me?I’m not particularly unhappy with the Democratic candidates. I would have preferred someone better, like Kucinich but that’s a pipe dream (like Paul is for the libertarian types).The fact that we spend so much on the military is insane. Do you really think a country is going to attack the US? The end result is nuclear war and mutually assured destruction of everyone on the planet. So that’s not going to happen. So some rag-tag bunch of fundies attacks. More fucking people have died of smoking related illnesses in a year than all the terrorist attacks combined.The military is a big fucking social program that is for the most part a huge waste and unnecessary. I’m not sure what we’re even defending anymore. The constitution has failed.

Cheney said pretty much the exact same things after the first Gulf War, defending GW 1’s decision not to go into Iraq.Spot-on about everything.Everyone in charge KNEW it was going to be a complete catastrophe. They just didn’t CARE, because it served their short-term financial and political interests.

I’m of the opinion that it’s ridiculous to make the military serve as your country’s de facto social welfare system (along, we can add, with the prison system).

O yeah, and the title forgot to mention, the sheep had had VX nerve gas dropped on them. Not to mysterious.
