Thinking like the Bush

Wait, don't leave just yet...

I have given serious thought to the display of what can only be described as very serious bipartisanship that Mr. Bush displayed recently at his 'State of the Union' speech. It seems that Bush tried -- in as much as he can -- to reach across the aisle. Do we really want to fault a guy for trying, for putting himself out there like that?

So, in the same spirit of friendship, partnership, and collaboration, we here at the Rising Hegemon would like to do the same.

Here we go:

Letter Addressed to National Republican Party

Dear Retardicans,

Seeing that you are failing in the Iraq situation, we would like to extend the hand of friendship to you. After all, we can all agree that Mr. Bush just isn't working out, am I right?

So, only after serious study of the important issues that face us as Americans, can we all agree as Americans rather than ideological Repoopicans or members of the Democratic party, that we all must unite behind a common purpose that is more than just trying to enrich a few Rethuglican party members.

Policies must be built around the principle that as a nation we must establish sound health care for all, a fair tax policy for the middle class, a living wage, support for infrastructure (schools, roads... you all get it), a fair immigration policy (we can't just let in the ones who will work hard for the Reidiotcon party -- we know that it would be really really helpful as you have work done on the summer house, but it just isn't fair), a plan in Iraq along with a plan for leaving behind a stable government that is more than just Refuckedican loyalists running the show.

We believe that as we create sorely lacking solidarity between all members of the American political family -- Democrats, Independents, and Put-Your-Head-in-the-Noose-and-Swingicans, that we can tackle these challenges together rather than as divided members of the same house. After all, a house divided can not stand, right?

Sincerely and with loving friendship,

Dirk D. DeDurkheim
