The political axis of evil

Because I sit at a computer in a suburban Dallas home, I am not fully aware of just how interlinked and interlocked is the current political axis of evil into the system. There are many people in Washington, D.C. (which should stand for decadent capital) who are focused SOLELY on turning the UNITED States of America into a one-party, one-philosophy, one religion nation without any regards for those citizens who might have the audacity to disagree. Such people are merely worthy of being rounded up and shot ... politically.
To bark at Congressman Tom DeLay, the cockroach and former bugman (birds of a feather?), is a waste of breath. I looked up the word, "corruption," in my Webster's Dictionary and not only was there a picture of DeLay beside the term, a campaign brochure fell out.
But one must keep an eye on the other members of that axis - such as this invisible "tax expert" named Grover Norquist, who is in more politicians' pockets than cheap lint.
Now follow the linkage ... Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who has been shown to have been the Hank Aaron/Babe Ruth of corruption, is the former chairman of the College Republican National Committee (a major league recruiting arm of the GOP charged with poisoning young minds with concepts of easy money at the expense of taxpayers). Abramoff is attached to DeLay like a Siamese twin. That has been made SO crystal clear that Stevie Wonder can see it.
Norquist is this major patron (as they say in South Texas, a man who wields power but remains behind the scenes) who is president of Americans for Tax Reform (reverse Robin Hood, take from the poor and give to the rich).
But Norquist was also the individual who used to run the College Republican National Committee when Abramoff was the chairman!!!
And they all seem to report to Karl Rove, who said, in a speech to a group of sheep (sorry, GOP contributers), that "liberals" were weak in reaction to Sept. 11 terrorist attacks because they didn't rush out and start nuking all of the Middle East on Sept. 12 ... like Republicans seemed more than willing to do.
Such comments have been defended by the White House, DeLay and other GOP uppity-ups.
In a speech to the College Republican National Committee on Friday, Norquist lambasted three GOP senators for their compromise role on judicial filibusters (calling them "the two girls from Maine and the nut-job from Arizona"). He was obviously talking about Olympia Stowe and Susan Collins, who are probably older than Norquist, and John McCain.
Oh yea, McCain is chairing the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs investigating ... Abramoff for a scandalous affair in "representing" tribal casino interests and essentially, bilking them out of millions of dollars in fees while playing both sides of the street.
Lest anyone forget - John McCain is a genuine war hero, having spent years as a Vietnamese prisoner of war. Regardless of his politics, McCain should have been the GOP nominee in 2000 had it NOT been for Rove's indecent mud-slinging campaign about McCain's military record in the South Carolina primary. Had there been a mational primary in 2000, McCain would have been the people's choice.
McCain speaks his mind which earns the respect of this liberal. Norquist has to go through life named for a Muppet.
What do you think?
