David Frum writes at the Washington Post that the Republicans should stop sending money to the McCain campaign and invest that cash instead to the down-ticket races in order to keep enough members in the House and Senate to avoid, as he calls it " the dangers of one-party, left-wing government." He says that the government needs balance. I use to believe that one myself but after 8 years of the Bush Republicans have control over most branches of government and seeing what that has gotten us into, we need nothing but Democrats in all branches of government to clean 8 years of shit up. Where was David Frum when the GOP had all branches of government and where, and still are, fucking things up?
"The government now owns a big stake in the nation's banking system. Trillions of dollars are now under direct government control. It's not wise to put that money under one-party control. It's just too tempting. You need a second set of eyes on that cash. You need oversight and accountability. Otherwise, you're going to wake up two years from now and find out that a Democratic president, a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House have been funneling a ton of that money to their friends and allies. It'll be a big scandal -- but it will be too late. The money will be gone. Divided government is the best precaution you can have."
Replace " Democrat" with " Republican" in the paragraph above, and then I guess that Mr. Frum would have to write about how great our country is doing under those Republicans.
He ends the article with..
It's the only argument we have left. And, as the old Washington saying goes, it has the additional merit of being true.
This is the only true thing that he has written. Unfortunately for him and the GOP, this reminds all of us just how vile and corrupt the Republicans have been for the last eight years and that they have been the masters of slime and crime.
So let us remind the readers of all of the graft and payoffs and lining of their pockets that those Republican Senators and House members have been part-taking in, shall we, Mr Frum?
