Reply #214: Republicans have three modes of operation: [View All]

1. "scorched earth"
This is where they go all out with the arms trades with (insert country name here), then later get all pissed over some stupid disagreement with (insert country name here) and unleash the bombs, Bibles, and bullshit, although not always necessarily in that order. They have never read the Bible, nor do they comprehend what is in it. The entire purpose of the Bible is that it is one of their props to justify the bombs and bullshit and effectively shut the American people up.

Reference points/history lesson here:
Afghanistan/Soviet conflict, Iran Contra (oh yeah, wasn't Reagan great? NOT), and what they are doing right now with the Saudis and Pakistan. Mark my words: In your lifetime, maybe even in mine, America will go to war with one of those two countries and possibly Iran and North Korea too.

2. "witch hunt"
They do not use bombs here, but PI's, lawyers, and loopholes, usurping the law every way they can to fuck a Democrat or liberal Republican over. They really go all out openly with what they are doing here too.

Reference points/history lesson here:
Read all you can about what they did to McCain in South Carolina during the '04 Primaries, Kerry in the '04 Primaries AND General Election, and the Clintons for reference points to understand this mode better.

3. "Bait and Switch"
They smile so big and toothy while they tease a gullible Democrat with an olive branch. They do not care who. Whichever Democrat is "reaching across the aisle," the Repubs play along until the Democrat signs a promissory note of quid pro quo. Then as soon as the sucker, naive enough to fall for their shit, does agree to something with them, they pull the switcheroo and shove through more bombs, Bibles, and bullshit with lawyers, loopholes, and PI's for good measure.

It's a racket. They've been doing it for years and for years older generation after older generation has tried to protect/warn/educate younger generation after younger generation to look out for this with no real success. The younger ones never listen to the older ones.

Another interesting phenomena I have been noticing lately that scares the shit out of me:
Now, it seems there is essentially no difference between what Gen-X and the Baby Boomers are trying to tell/warn/protect/educate you about. Both of our generations have learned through humiliating year after miserable year of bullshit from the Repubs, that no deal with those demons can ever end up good for us as a party or the American people or people all over the world for that matter.

On the surface, this mode of operation appears to be the least evil of their modes of operation, but in reality, it is the most evil of them all, because it seems so harmless and it affects "we the people" directly.
